you have absolutely no basis for preaching the sermon you just did.  Anybody who reads your "burn in hell" "Laura is a Stepford wife" ranting posts knows you're about as inflammatory as they come.  Hey, that's who you are, but don't stand there and tell us we are hateful and inflammatory when you wrote the book on hateful and inflammatory posts.

As far as nonpartisan people, like unicorns, they don't exist.   Your high and mighty and above-it-all little charade is about as transparent at plastic wrap.

A typical conservative who is asked ONE question, can't answer it, gets all flustered and in a tizzy, starts calling names and finally storms off the set.  They obviously all *debate* the same way, regardless of whether they're on TV or a message board.

If Obama advocates personally responsibility then why oh why are my tax dollars going to those who pay nothing in taxes?  Under Obama's plan, every one making under $200,000 will get a tax refund (and yes that includes those who don't even pay taxes) of at least $500.  What kind of personal responsibility is that?

Under Obama's plan, everyone in the USA, legal or not, will get free medical insurance.  What kind of personal responsibility is that?

Please, spare me your Obama/personal responsibility story.  It's a joke.

Are you taking a covered dish?

I thought it was quite distressing.  This is what the world thinks of our current leader.  Even more distressing was the look on his face.  He had that smirk on his face like he was enjoying it.  Surprised he didn't puff up and say "bring it on!!"  What a tard.  Please, please go away and take roboto wife and bratty kids with you.

Guess who said this....

*We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war. *

Ms. Coulter even gives the right a bad name, and yet here people are just dying to see her on TV.  I personally would like to see more of her on TV so people could get to know her for what she stands for -- total ignorance.  I know... how about a one on one with Coulter and Palin ---- now that would be a blast.

Down the drain?  Beware of Obama's plan to 'spread the wealth around'

By Betsy Newmark

If the McCain campaign can’t use this Obama quote to raise doubts about his attitude towards wealth and success, then they deserve the shellacking they seem headed for.

“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Plumbers of the country, unite! Forget about the work and effort you put into building up a business or the scummy work that you do that many of us don’t know or don’t want to do. If you have succeeded, you should be willing to give up more of what you earn to help those who haven’t had the great good luck that you have had to be a successful plumber. Remember how Obama is going to give 95% of all of us a tax cut even though over 30% of the population doesn’t pay taxes?

He might call it a tax credit, but what he’s really doing is his vision of “spreading the wealth around.” It sounds a lot like Huey Long’s 1935 plan to “Share the Wealth.” And when he finds that he can’t tax the top 5% of the population to gain enough wealth to spread to the 95% of the rest of us, do you really think that he’ll stop with that 5%?

Remember…This is the guy who said in the ABC debate during the primary season that his approach to raising tax on capital gains is not based on whether it would provide more revenue but on his idea of what is fair:

GIBSON: All right. You have, however, said you would favor an increase in the capital gains tax. As a matter of fact, you said on CNBC, and I quote, “I certainly would not go above what existed under Bill Clinton,” which was 28 percent. It’s now 15 percent. That’s almost a doubling, if you went to 28 percent.

But actually, Bill Clinton, in 1997, signed legislation that dropped the capital gains tax to 20 percent.

OBAMA: Right.

GIBSON: And George Bush has taken it down to 15 percent.

OBAMA: Right.

GIBSON: And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down.

So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

Just what we need in these fragile economic times — a guy who wants to raise taxes because he thinks it’s a matter of “fairness” and time to “spread the wealth around.”

That will be some incentive for other plumbers who want to work hard and build up a successful business.

But don’t worry - according to Joe Biden, it’s the patriotic thing to do.

So refreshing to have someone on this board that can actually think for themselves.  I have such vivid memories of my dad dressing up in his class A's to go to war, and coming into my room crying at 4:00 a.m. in the morning to say goodbye, not knowing if we would ever see one another again.  Thankfully, he did 1 tour in Korea before I was born, two tours in VN, and we lived on an Army base 25 miles from the Berlin wall when I was 6 years old.  If there was ever an american girl, it is me and my brother.  That "american girl" posting on here all the time, if she had to earn her FFFF freedom she would learn to keep her mouth shut.

It seems like one of first major priorities would be to ensure fair voting practices.  I'm very worried about the accuracy of computerized voting and possible tampering. 

If Sara Palin came on the scene as an Independent and ran against McCain & Obama, think how that could've changed things! 

As a conservative, I'm thrilled to see someone who knows how to play ball with the big boys.  Funny how the feminists want all this equal rights stuff, then shoot this lady down before they really know anything about her.

I wonder how upset Hillary's supporters are over this.  Time will tell, not just polls.

It should be interesting what history reveals in the end.  Either way, this race will go down in the books as a first.  That in itself is interesting.

Two late nights in a row for me...thank GOD it's Friday! :)

Since I only heard a snippet of this so far, the governor was trying to have others pay him to appoint them to take the O's senate seat?

If so (and don't bash, I'm asking a very serious question here), could this be how the O came up so quick? He paid for his senate seat?

The gov doesn't look like he thinks he did anything wrong. He's kinda young looking too. Could it be because Illinois has always had corruption like this? Gee, I think I'll go to Illinois and run for senator. LOL
