Now why would he do that though?

Oh, now I remember...

Any tax increase will be due to the mess the Republicans have created through the financial mess.

just the republicans, huh ??

seem to remember that the Democrats are running congress, and lets talk about all their earmarks

Actually, now I totally understand what went down here.

The Republicans did not keep tabs on the banks and allowed for manipulation and idiocy to exist in the mortgage business, hoping that the economy will collapse so that the Democrats would have to raise taxes to cope, thus causing people to hate "Liberals" more.

Very shrewd plan, I must say.

"Earmarks?" Glad to see we're once again throwing around words we have no idea what they mean, Vinni.

But seriously, the policies of the last eight years have most likely spurred on this recession. The Democratic congress came in too late to have anything to do with it.

 

[Enron]

well, I hope your right....


but we all know that these guys will say ANYTHING to get elected

dont be surprised if Obama gets elected, and raises taxes 20% on everyone making over 40k

Well taxes will go up no matter what especially with the bailout. That's something no one can escape. If you listen closely you won't hear either side saying "no new taxes" not even the guy who thought the fundamentals of the American economy were strong.

 

[Bjerknes]

The fundamentals are strong. What a verbal blunder.

 

[cunninlynguists]

mccain will win
war is necessary

 

[Enron]

That's not a well thought out statement.

 

[Bjerknes]

mccain will win
war is necessary

To guarantee the downfall of the United States, yes. You're spot on.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yes. But that's how the Republicans usually do it.

What is their purpose then? Government usually aim to reduce the inequality of wealth, but that would only increase the gap between the rich and the poor.

I hope everyone is watching the VP debate tonight.

If that is what people want running this country, I need to get out asap.

Is that really what she said? It's like an self-insult, I haven't seen that in politics. It's basically a paraphrase of "It's time for Homer Simpson to be represented in the position of vice presidency."

Yeah she really said that. I'll find the source for you if you would like. She tends to do the whole self-insult thing well. She made a joke about how she has been hearing Joe Biden's speeches since she was in second grade. She clearly forgot she is running with a 72 year old presidential candidate.

They just rent-seek for their own behalf while hiding behind the religious and weapon front to acquire votes. That's about it. Of course, however, there have been a few good apples on the right who got stuff done, but I'm afraid they've left the building some few decades ago.

Problem is, Republicans seem to be very nonchalant with the foreign relations as you might have guessed. For instance, under the Reagan years, Osama Bin Laden was a CIA tactician while in the Maktab al-Khidamat which strove to fight off the Soviets. We funded and aided them. Then, of course, we gave Saddam chemical weapons, and you know how that turned out.

I hope everyone is watching the VP debate tonight.

I don't know what it's worth really. I mean, no matter what happens, I'm still voting for Obama because 1) he has more character and 2) he's vastly more intelligent.

I'm tired of dummies in the White House.

It could be pretty entertaining considering Palin is retarded and Biden usually goes off on hilarious tangents.

Is that on tomorrow?

It's being shown live over here, so I might take a keek at it.

Doesn't mean I am not voting for Obama. I think it is important to be up to date on all the politics out there especially when it has to do with our country. How else will I defend my decision to vote for Obama/Biden if I have no idea what is being said by both parties. I am surrounded by conservatives who feel that McCain/Palin are the better choice I enjoy being able to hold my own in a conversation about the election while being educated about both sides.

It is tonight at 9 pm for us (Eastern time) so I guess it is kinda tomorrow for you.

I thought people were exaggerating when they said she was dumb, but that shit is funny. I wish I was home to watch the debate debate tonight. Hopefully, the highlights will be on YouTube.
