'Twas the night before elections

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotions all up and down!



I, in my bathrobe

With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of political crap.



When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

I peered out of my window

Saw Obama and his boys



They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!



He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink



He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!



' On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi'

He screamed at the pairs!



They took off for his cause

And as he flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn't stand up and fight!



So I leave you to think

On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Taxes aren't the problem right now. The problem is the economy blows.

 

[Sarah]

Oh I didn't know you had a cat, Vinni.

Taxes aren't the problem right now. The problem is the economy blows.

Kinda tough to complain about your tax bill when you're unemployed.

 

[Enron]

Indeed.

I know you don't get it, but "socialism" is actually not a bad word. It's not like "communism" or "fascism". Someone has obviously told you something about socialism that's completely wrong, but you chose to believe him. It's sad.

 

[Geof]

Stand up, all victims of oppression,
For the tyrants fear your might!
Don't cling so hard to your possessions,
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
Let racist ignorance be ended,
For respect makes the empires fall!
Freedom is merely privilege extended,
Unless enjoyed by one and all.
So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on.
The Internationale,
Unites the world in song.
So comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place!
The international ideal,
Unites the human race.

Some people think that socialism is like communism and that's why they think many countries in Europe are communists. It makes me laugh actually, I find it amusing. But maybe one shouldn't be amused at other people's ignorance.

 

[Fred]

Probably because of the fact that most Communist countries are socialist, so some people tend to think they are the same thing.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Socialism is closer to Communism than it is to Capitalism,so it's easy for people to mix the two.

Bogus Robocall Tells Floridians They Can Vote By Phone
By Sarah Lai Stirland EmailOctober 31, 2008 | 6:37:34 PMCategories: Election '08

The residents of Broward County, Florida have recently received misleading robocalls telling them that they can vote by phone on Election Day, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Friday.

The report didn't provide many details, other than the fact that the voice fallaciously identified itself as Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes.

When asked whether she had heard about the calls, the supervisor's public service director said that she hadn't, and that of course voting by phone is not an option.

The call is just one of a number of dirty tricks being pulled off around the country just before record numbers of voters are expected to turn up at the polls on Election Day.

Another unknown group is distributing flyers (see the flyer after the jump) with official-looking letterhead around the area of Hampton Roads, Virgina that erroneously inform recipients that because of the crowds at the polls, the Virginia State Board of Elections is scheduling Republicans to vote on November 4th, and Democrats on the 5th.

Democratic congressmen Jerry Nadler of New York, John Conyers of Michigan and Bobby Scott of Virginia on Thursday asked the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the matter and to bring criminal charges against the originators of the flyers.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that people in the area have been receiving robocalls with the same message. This particular trick is an old one: In 2004, the New York Times reported the same message going out in the Pittsburgh area via flyers.

You guys are such a banana republic. It's a tough adjustment, I'm used to thinking of the US as an industrial, progressive country. But the ethical standards in your politics are that of corrupt communist regimes. I'll need time to rewire my brain for the new reality.

I am against Socialism, we have enough of it here now with medicaid and welfare, and I pay enough in taxes to support it....whats so hard to understand about that ?

And Obama's idea about "spreading the wealth" goes against the principles that this country is about...what its going to turn into if he's elected is the middle class slugs like myself getting taxed even more, and that money going to the lower class losers who dont want to work. Aaron and Andy may disagree, but wait and see what happens if Obama gets elected....these guys will say anything to win

Probably because of the fact that most Communist countries are socialist, so some people tend to think they are the same thing.

thats true, most countries that are Communist are Socialist, but I realize that they are not the same thing

Actually, most countries that are/were communist are not socialist. Rather, the "elites" have been known to hoard the wealth at the expense of everyone else. The idealistic dream of socialism never actually materialized, just people claiming to realize it just like others claim there is a "free market".

Come to think of it, the US "welfare state" might actually have achieved a higher degree of socialism than failed communist states.

Very funny. Especially the part about Fannie and Freddie that Obama had nothing to do with.

I hope Obama is elected and puts 30% taxes on all of us 100% taxes on police officers.

Vinnie I dare you to name 5 countries in Europe that still have a communist regime
you don't know what the hell you are talking about
I saw the exact same thing a couple of days ago when a farmboy in Oklahoma was asked who he would vote for
he said ' Obama wants to take my gun, turn this country into a communist state and spread socialisme over all our cities... besides I'll never vote for a black guy' your brother perhaps?
McCain or Obama
the choice is yours but do it for the right reasons and not cuz of this crazy talk

 

[Zé Tahir]

It's so funny to hear people say the word socialism as if it's such a taboo word. The crackhead journalist that interviewed Biden the other day asked what he had to say to those that feared Obama was going to turn the country into a socialist country much like Sweden. As if Sweden is Cuba or something

Probably the only country in Europe that will become a full blown Communist state again is Russia....and they will probably attempt to take a few countries with them

thanks for alluding to the fact that I'm a racist, it proves that you know fuck-all about me. I dont care what color the man is, I dont agree with his views....

...and that doesnt mean that Mc Cain is much better either (and he's white !!)

I hope Obama is elected and puts 30% taxes on all of us 100% taxes on police officers.

if he had his way, he would fire all the police, open up the jails, and free all his brothers....

and tax everyone at 100% to take care of them !!!

Anybody who says stuff like that is a goddamned idiot.

The fact that we have people here "afraid" of free healthcare really shows how demented my fellow Americans are. Bunch of goddamned morons.

By "his views" you mean you agree with Bill O'Rielly's views.

So what are Obama's true views, Vinni?

you tell me, what are Obama's true views ??

example- I dont believe him when he says he wont raise my taxes, when he's got all these programs he want to implement (how will they be funded ?), and looking at his past voting when it comes to raising our taxes
