And since my job will probably end up in India soon anyway, I'll be the next one needing a government handout. So bet your bippy I'm voting for a democratic president!

You better not have a 401K
Democrats now want to take your 401K from you and tax the crap out of it beforehand. They also want to set up a government pension where everyone will pay 5% of they pay into a mandated pension plan. Obama is supporting this. Where does it all end? You don't call this complete government takeover? Liberals in the white house will be the death of a free democracy. They will kill this country.
No 401K here either....... sm
In fact, no real savings to speak of. I'm winging it (no pun intended....okay, pun intended) from paycheck to paycheck.

If you want to blame someone for your 401K,
nm
We will also be trashing our 401K if the O gets in....sm
...and as I've posted before, if it comes right down to it, I WILL stop working and let the govt take care of me.
I now make $60,000 a year, give or take, and work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. I cannot possibly work any more, and I cannot afford to have the O take my money away and give it to people who don't work at all. When that middle class umbrella cuts in half again...and since it's now 120,000, it could be real soon for me.....there's no way, no how I'll stand for more taxes from my blood and sweat as it is.
As my husband says..... We'll quit working, and become good little communists....if it comes right down to it....and if they try to our guns away, we will go down fighting....and if the thought police come to our door because they don't like what we think? Oh well....we'll take a few of them with us.....
1984 will be here...in ol' 2009......and it ain't pretty.
I am STILL pulling for McCain......as Rush says, if we have to drag Yosemite Sam's behind over the finish line, we have to drag it over....and it's gotta be done.....
My husband and I have had the same 401K, of which 1/2 is.....sm
General Dynamic stock, the company he has worked for for 27 years. Well, our stash there is now about half what it was, our retirement, essentially. We are hoping and praying that by staying into the market that we will be able to recoup some of this as the market rebounds..GOD WILLING!!! I am sooooo sorry for all the folk who have gotten hurt in the banking collapse and the crash, so not fair to hard-working Americans. We need stricter laws, I think, stricter regulations once again on banking and corporations. JMHO
401K/retirement fund
You can't "take" your pension and 401K out of the stock market if you are not retirement age. We are stuck with whatever the companies we work for invest in. my husband and I have some choices about where we invest our 401K but they all involve mutual funds, stocks, bonds, etc.
re-did 401k's or IRAs since the election?
i saw a couple of people saying they would if Obama was elected. I re-did mine. Did you?
Oh geez -- my 401K is now LESS than half of
And the feds are now going to buy STOCK in failing companies with the bailout money. Real intelligent. Where's MY 'bailout' ?
Yeah, and if he wins, I will be pulling my 401K
I don't want to pay any more taxes on my 401K than I have to. O wants to tax it. We already pay taxes on it when we take distribution, so that's double taxation and I want no part of it. I don't have much but I sure want to keep what I have.
A lot can happen in the next 2 days and hopefully, things will go from blue to red where needed.
Doesn't matter - my 401K is losing an average of $3K
per DAY. Not per week, per DAY. If the loss continues at this rate, it will hit a zero balance and I'll have nuthin' to lose. So I'm voting for Obama, cuz I sure as he11 don't want that old Republican prune taxing my HEALTH CARE next.
my 401K from a previous employer hasn't lost much
but it's in low risk investments, a lot of bonds, and so when things get better, it probably won't rise as quickly as other 401k's. I'm a chicken.
I saw Jim Cramer this morning too. I have J&J stock and my 401K through Merrill Lynch
I am really upset and not sure what to do.
No need to worry about your 401k, democrats would like to absord it into the Social Security system.

So has mine. nm

Mine too
I was seriously bummed when he left the race. I really think he could have shaken up the party and turned Washington around. Oh well, guess we'll never know.
so are mine nm
nm
So were mine
I get aggravated too when people lie or use eloquent words to gloss over the real issue.
Neither are mine
x
None of mine
have either. I usually lurk but I enjoy a good debate and intelligent conversation.
And clearly, neither did mine...
we are still spending money that doesn't exist to try to spend ourselves out of debt. But are you serious that everyone supports the troops? Have you not seen people protesting at military funerals? Or how about the people who stood outside our base with signs that said that all military men are terrorists who only want to murder helpless children. Whether or not you personally know them, there are people who are not behind troops. Take a look at the person who said they die for "no reason." Heaven forbid that my husband does not make it home from Iraq, God help anyone who has the audacity to say to my face that it was for nothing!
Unfortunately, not in mine......
nm
SP said it, too. In the post above mine. :) NM
..
and you keep making mine
So if something is amiss in the word you don't try to fix it at all you just hope that it goes away?
Would you rather deal with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas before they get nukes or after? Should we have let Saddam get nukes too?
This whole *Bush was too preoccupied with Iraq to deal with this situation* the Dems are crying is bull. Just like everything else they say in fact. This situation has been ongoing for years. The cease fires so touted by Madeline Albright and Clinton have never been true cease fires. This is a conflict that has been going on ever since there were Jews and Arabs. This is one situation you cannot historically place the blame on Bush. Doesn't hold water. So, if you are so concerned about our President supposedly not knowing history or geographics then I suggest you do some studying of your own, because your history and your perception of it is a little skewed itself.
so was mine, but I guess
the recipient didn't get it . . . .
It's their own words, not yours or mine. nm
Sam, you give closed-minded people way too much of your time! Oh well. It's your call.
They may be off your radar, not mine...
nm
and I base mine on
available information .... don't just pull them out of my bellybutton.
In your world....thank God not in mine. nm
nm
Mine is nm, stopping using that too.

I have a friend of mine who has a
few nieces who are biracial and they are absolutely beautiful kids. I think some of the cutest kids are "oreos."
Your words, not mine.
Got it?
Her message....not mine..(sm)
"If there is an open door in 2012 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plough through that door," Mrs Palin said.
All indictations, from what I see, are that Palin is going to run for Prez in 2012. I would guess that this means the pubs are going even farther to the right.
Mine's 148, and I'm just "Joe MT".
and you missed mine...
All I meant was she wasn't judging her on her LOOKS, but I believe how she looks at people. does that make sense? She is a beautiful woman and she does love her family, that is great. But I believe the poster was relating her personality... which some find abrasive and a little rude and "above" others you know? you dont see it that way, but some do. that's all. personally i have no opinion of her i dont know enough.
Your comparison, not mine.
Can't blame him at all for trying to grab a couple of gasps of fresh air after being immersed in the cesspool with the tax cuts for the rich or else monolith.
So did mine - but one wonders when?!
I've dropped all kinds of hints, and finally went upstairs and came back down in my pyjamas and slippers. But they're still sitting there swilling my punch, dropping cake on the carpet and acting like they own the joint.
Did mine. YOUR turn.nm
nm
That's your notion, not mine
As I said in a previous post, I believe in Jesus's death and resurrection. I just don't believe that belief is all it takes to get into heaven.
That's funny, it's in mine. s/m
But I can understand that it is not in yours since it has more than 3 letters.
What exactly is your problem? Why did you think it necessary to make a comment like that? Tell me, did it make you feel more superior? Or are you just so pathetic that you cannot even come up with something more grown-up sounding? Were you the bully or the bullied in school? Which was it -- something you never grew out of or something (or someone) you're trying to get back at?
contacted mine and...
also Nancy Pelosi. You can email her even if you aren't in her district. There is a place on her web site for anyone to email her. I hope everyone does the same.
I contacted mine too
I hope it does some good. There are just so many of them in lock-step with the big O and they don't want to cross him.
Her words (the missionary's), not mine.
Bush: A Case for Murder and Execution by Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles prosecutor who so far has batted a thousand in murder cases: 21 trials, 21 convictions, including the Charles Manson case in 1971. He laid it all out there. Please do not come back with that tired rant about authors and book sales unless you have read it yourself.
Or maybe she just watched the horror unfold and came to her own conclusions. She and Mr. Bugliosi are not alone in this view/opinion. Despite the absence of mainstream media coverage, this book is enjoying brisk sales.
Like the OP suggested to you: If you come out of your comfort zone you might be surprised by what you find.
Pompous is your forte, not mine.

Writing mine in because I don't care
Many say that's a "wasted vote," but I think not. It shows both candidates that there are people that don't agree with either one of them! Besides, if I don't like either one, I'm not voting for the "lesser of two evils" because either way, it's still evil in the end, right? I'd rather "waste" a vote on a write-in candidate than have any remorse later for placing a vote I can't stand behind.
I couldn't live w/o mine
I have 3 CCrane radios, which are designed for AM radio, durability, etc. At least you can catch many podcasts. The thing I like about them (the free ones, of course, which basically all are), have the commercials extracted from them. The only problem is that there literally aren't enough hours in the day for all of it. The best part is that it's free--no cable, etc.
You may have already signed up for Glenn's things being sent to your inbox. I get those and many more...
Please refer to mine and give me
relative to your double standard.
NO!! Those are Palin's words, not mine!! She said that!
I was responding regarding qualification. Palin had no idea what the VP does... not sure what interview it was, but she said that the VP was in charge of the Senate.
Well, mine is definitely Okie. Never lost it.
Guess I haven't been gone long enough to lose it. I think NE Oklahoma/NW Arkansas accents pretty similar. So we probably do. I say "coke," (the Okie all purpose word for Coke, Pepsi, DP, lol) these folks up here say "soda." Drives me nuts. Soda is made by Arm & Hammer. LOL. The very FIRST thing I do when I get back to my old home town is get a chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and white gravy. These people up here don't even know what white gravy is. lol. Traveling for a few years has been real educational though. Still...ready to go home. :)
it would be my children's choices,not mine
x
Woo-hoo...YES YOU CAN.....have a party of ca-ca.....your definition, not mine....
...sorry, couldn't resist, you left yourself wide open on that one.... :-=)
