This is a truly offensive comment:  liberals...they really could care less about the soldiers.  You appear ignorant of any true knowledge of liberal beliefs.

You state that it is impossible for Muslims to ever live next to a Christian in harmony.  Your ignorance is astounding.  Too astounding to even address as you have obviously never traveled to any major city in the U.S. or in many, many cities of the world.  Hey, we couldn't even keep peace in New Orleans after there was a breakdown of police control. 

60 Minutes unbiased?  Did I claim anywhere that it was?  Of course it has a bias.  Duh.  Thought I was posting on the liberal board.

Please, take your trash talk over to your other trash-talking conservatives.  Please!!! 

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.

An eagle also needs to land sooner or later. Barak is neither left or right. Yes, he does lean a bit to the left, but for years we've had Bush lean to the extreme right thanks to his righteous evangelical radicals. This scares me a lot more. Please read and enlighten yourselves. Those of you who are still undecided are to be pitied. This campaign has been going on for so long, if you still don't know who to vote for....I would say you have a hell of a problem. Take your blinders off, Falwell is dead and I wish Limbaugh was too. The American people have brainwashed themselves and they like it. There are other great countries in the world, not just the U.S. They are proud patriots also and believe their country is the best. So wake up, READ about history and other countries. I live in a country that I would bet hardly of you know, let alone the capital. The country is called Canada and the capital is Ottawa. I too am proud of my country and I think IT IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!  Stop listening to those stupid radio talk shows who are nearly all republican........get a life. Vote for Barack, my God you folks need a change!!!

abort with no questions asked because it is her uterus and no one's business.  Yet you wish to take away the rights of people who don't believe in abortion and work in the medical field.  No job should require you to do something that you find unethical.  If you want to abort your child....fine....that is your decision and one that you will have to answer for and live with.  So many people are on here screaming about their rights and how dare their rights be taken away.  Forcing someone in the medical field to be involved in something they feel is unethical......isn't that taking away their rights.  They have a right to refuse.  There are other people in the medical field who would willingly perform an abortion....so why force those who find it unethical?  That is just wrong. 

Hi American Woman!  Come on back here regularly.  We have some really good liberal posters now.  Yes, Im in CA.  The fires are all around me but havent come to the desert yet (where I am).  They have been moving towards the ocean instead (opposite direction).  With a change of the wind, though, the fires could change direction, then they would come over the Sierra Nevada Mountains to get to the desert.  About two years ago a fire came up over the mountains and you could see it from my house and the air was thick with smoke and soot.  Was quite scary..but the firefighters were able to get it out.  Yup, CA, the land of mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes, torrential rains (when it does rain..smile).  So good to hear from ya..Come on back here.  The board isnt the same without ya. :o).

vote for a man who calls his wife a "cu_t" and a trollope?

I don't get it. This is his wife- supposedly the one he loves. Apparently doesn't respect!

What does he believe about other women?

Where on earth do you get your so-called news?  Moveon, Kos, or DemocraticUnderground?

If you care to ignore the teachings of Saul Alinsky, what do you think about his "church" associations?

Bill O'Reilly will be doing "The Obama Chronicles" on his show this week (or however long it runs), starting with Wm Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn. 

If you're looking for documented accuracy, Rush Limbaugh is certified 98%-ish right.  I hear it so often that the way it's said escapes me, but the libs know it, too.  That's only one reason they hate him so much.  Of course, the first is that he's got over 20 million listeners.  Nobody can touch those numbers.  Incidentally, I'm one of them. 

so that obviously makes her stupid and even though she has more experience than Barrack Obama......he has promised change and that is all they hear.  Hang a mannequin by a rope dressed like her and that is okay....just silly Halloween pranks.  Just don't do that to one looking like Obama because you will be charged and end up in jail.  Always double standards. 

You can't hang a black man because that is racist, but go ahead and hang a white woman because obviously that isn't sexist at all.  Makes me sick.

i also believe that homosexual marriage will grow the economy in ways no one will ever imagine.  It's too bad you don't believe in change.  Women have for many rights why not the right to bear or not bear a child if she so sees fit.  No one knows everyone's circumstances.  When you stand before God and take those vows it means for better or for worse, not "if I feel like cheating I will." 

If anyone posted on here that their husband was cheating; everyone would say counseling or dump him!  Why not McCain????  How is he better?

I won't go into abortion because I feel a woman has a choice.  If you want backyard hacks killing young mothers in a nonclinical setting, go right ahead and try to have abortion illegalized.  Also, get ready to pay for the welfare... 

Thanks Brunson for you objective views....it is refreshing.  You know how to respectfully post and carry on an adult conversation.

The only reason I am posting here is to state this even though it's blatantly obvious American Woman is not me. 

I read here, but I don't post here.  I might post my responses to posts here on the C board....but other than to clarify like I'm doing now I don't post here....I made a mistake on Friday posting here, but I got my boards mixed up.  Have a great day!

You have added much to the liberal board.  Don't let them run you off. That's what they come here for.  Don't give them what they want.
