Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

[1bad65]

I'm just waiting for Obama to say we need to convert to the Metric System!

rogue,
I read all the things you posted. It sounds to me like he's promising the moon. You can't just massively cut taxes like he is proposing, AND spend Billions and Billions and Billllllions of dollars on all those social programs he wants.

If he is going to afford all that stuff, he's going to shift the tax burden to the wealthy, and the corporations (You know, the guys who give us all jobs to feed our families?)

Now, 2 things are going to happen with that, the first is the corporations are going to drastically raise prices in order to stay in business and remain profitable, SO in the end the every day worker will have to pay it anyway.

TWO in those environments where raising prices is not an option, businesses will fold, especially small Mom & Pop kinds of places who just don't have the financial strength to survive it all.


THREE (an pay close attention to this) By shifting the tax burden to the rich, and corporations what you will do is make the USofA the WORST pace in the world ot do business, so you will see a massive flood of businesses and corporations leaving the US and setting up shop in China.

Things are really bad in the US as it is. If I had the means, *I* would set up a business in the Caribbeans somewhere, and enjoy a tax free life style now. Infact, many people do this already.

Instead of making the flight of businesses and corporations WORSE, we need to make it MORE attractive to do business in the United states.


You can't just coddle all the citizens of this country, and shield them from thier mistakes cradle to grave. if you do that, you will kill the rugged independence this country was founded on, and the Unties States of America will shortly be no more.

The Soviet union fell, don't think we won't too...especially if we start following in thier footsteps.

Excellent post RD. I have agreed with you 100% on this thread.

Let me play off your words to make another point.

Now, 2 things are going to happen with that, the first is the oil companies are going to drastically raise gas prices in order to stay in business and remain profitable, SO in the end the every driver will have to pay it anyway.

TWO in those environments, businesses will fold, especially small Mom & Pop kinds of places dependant on gasoline who just don't have the financial strength to survive it all.

If Obama does raise taxes on the oil companies and bans offshore drilling (which was his original position), get ready for $6 a gallon gas AT LEAST. The only reason OPEC is lowering the price now is because they see that if they do not the US may very well start pumping it's own crude. Once that option is off the table, OPEC is holding all the cards.

The wealthy already pay more taxes than the middle class. In fact, they pay more in TAXES than the common man even makes in a year.

What needs to be done, is have it is so everyone shoulders thier fair share, not make it so one segment of the population is raped to support everyone else.

The third line in the first paragraph of that article rogue is where the money is at...

Aside from his brain washed drones, i think Obama scares the hell out of everyone else. Hillary does too.

The real question is this, once the law suites are filed, and it is proven Obama can't be president because of his citizenship status, does Hillary become the dems candidate? or does McCain automatically win by default because the Dems didn't have a candidate?

Here's hoping you and your ilk end up the minority come voting day.

I'm not sure Merryprankster has an ilk. My impression of his politics is that it is always exceedingly well informed, and is always based around what he feels is best for America over what is best for a specific party, and some of the things I have seen him support in debate were more than welcomed by what you undoubtedly see as your "ilk". He's not a raving partisan in the least, and as an voter informed by sources more useful and subtle than those favored by partisan nutjobs, unfortunately lacks enough of an "ilk" amongst the voting population.

I'm gonna drink a cold one to the entertaining fact that one day you are gonna be talking politics on here and you're gonna find some political point you are standing up for explained better and defended better by MP. Ask Rogue, it happens to everyone on here, regardless of party affiliation. You'll be high fiving him, sure, as his water boy.

Ah, a nice cool SPG Special Dark...so refreshing.

What KC said.

My favorite thing that happens here is when people call MP a right wing shill. Those are clearly people new to the forum or those who don't read what he's written. Hell, even when I disagree with MP I still listen to what he's saying and will check out a lot of the books he talks about.

Boy, that'll sure show me!

He did, but it got hit by a car when it ran out of his yard.

Rogue, will John McCain save my ass from the turrist invasion like Bush did?

I mean I was watching all these terrorist mixicunns come over the border and then the Glorious Homeland Security took them away in a van and I was like LOL THANK YOU GEORGE THEY WERE GONNA STEL MY JERB AND SEWERCIDE BOMB ME!

[KC Elbows]

Boy, that'll sure show me!

I'm sorry, I'd take the time to respond, but the ilk have a lodge meeting in ten minutes. Fortunately we have been 100% successful in our current project, we've used public money to taint the water in certain cities so that conservatives there lose the ability to distinguish between moderates and communists.

Next, we're working on a barbecue sauce that causes them to become unable to distinguish between conservative spending and wasteful spending.

In the final phase, we're going to introduce a small amount of a pathogen to American cheese that makes them simultaneously divorce and try to blame others for the state of marriage in the U.S.

The beauty is, no one has thus far noticed our nefarious plans at work!

Long live the ilk![insert secret handshake]
