If you are going to post something, check your grammar. Should be “than with that other guy”. I guess you already started drinking early.
At least it was just a typo and not a miss use of “then”. Typos happen.
Not in an English teacher’s classroom!
*cues scary music*
FEAR THE SPELLING AND MECHANICS NAZI!
DWN where are you?! i believe your wang is needed here…
I have brought the wang… The wang is displeased. Please the wang!!!
*bows before the impressive wang*
thanks for showing up
Up is what I do best…
Spelling FAIL.
nazi fail. you retards don’t even get the joke cuz ur too woried about the spelling and grammar
F*ck off and learn to represent yourself, you idiotic troll.
“miss use”, heh.
yeah, she was the runner up to the original Miss Use but then she got caught in an internet scandal when some azzhole ex bf posted some video on the web of her doing a carrot
The things I miss online…
“Than” is the correct word for this comparison. “Then” used for a comparison of time.
hey, its why im voting for him.
Which is why you shouldn’t vote.
I didn’t Know Obama had A Plan, sounds like more same crap he been saying for months spread the wealth so he can pay for his socialist ideas.
Police, roads, education. Socialist.. troll more and fail more.
Welfare checks, pork spending, tossing more money at problems that billions haven’t fixed yet…Troll on !
You completely ignored my statement, and failed to come up with a point.. or
anything witty. The troll award, goes to you my friend. And unlike you, other
people actually agree with me from time to time.
what does witty matter? all you liberals usually do is make witty retorts to cover up your ignorance. and you obviosly are if you don’t get the point of what he just said. and im not surprised you think republicans are so low to make witty retorts like you do, but we prefer not to stoop to your level. and by the way, his point is that the u.s. needs to get its priorities straight and not be like robin hood. and universal healthcare doesn’t help much either.
You’re an idiot. What Maxwell was saying is that he brought up something completely unrelated to the point and whined about it in an idiotic way. Seriously, you comprehensional failure, go run into a wall and head to the hospital or something.
did you know that Bush was also the guy people wanted to drink beer with, that’s one reason why he won, you’ve seen what has happended because of that.
Who was that other guy anyway? Joe…. John… John something?
I was impressed that Obama didn’t bring up McCain even once in his infomercial last night. Obama spent his time talking about the problems we face and how he plans to tackle them. McCain just spends all his time talking about Obama.
Very astute.
That’s because McCain changes his plan so often that he needs a score card to keep up, so he just settles on… Other Guy Bad… ME Good…Look at Sarah…She Has New Dress.
Wait…. are you implying that McCain has a plan? I’d like to hear your evidence for this wild supposition!
Dammit, PK… this was supposed to be a reply to Charlie Foxtrot, above.
And now it is. Double-you tee eff, man.
It’s OK n8…it’s just that liberal PK attack machine running out of control.
CONSPIRACY.
I didn’t Know Obama had A Plan, sounds like more same crap he been saying for months spread the wealth so he can pay for his socialist ideas.
Care to name things he has changed since he has done it so much?
“The economy is made of win.”
*2 hrs later*
“HOLY SHlT GUISE!!!111!!!”
Comment win?
Well the reason McCain talks about Obama so much might be because it seems to be the most effective. It might also have to do with the fact that Obama is outspending McCain almost 10 to 1 in advertising (interestingly only 25% of that money is from Obama’s highly touted “small contributers”). It looks like Obama has already caused change…changing the Democrat party into the Republican party… I really wish voting for Will Rogers would be useful.
You can look at McCain’s numbers and still think anything he’s done is “effective?” Maybe McCain should have devoted his energies towards coming up with a coherent message, or platform, or at least one or two actual policies. Given the choice between the guy with ideas and the guy with a bunch of anger, I’m going with the idea guy.
Actually McCain has brought out ideas. Some were panned as being bad (mortgage buy out). Good ideas are only as good as how you can implement them. McCain had a great idea in the anti-torture bill… but then other Republicans got a hold of it and wrecked it. Obama also has some bad ideas also. Obama has also been able to spend over $600 million to convey his ideas, unlike McCain who has only spent about $80 million. You would think if Obama had such GREAT ideas and ALL that money to spend he would be leading by more than a few points, especially since McCain “should have devoted his energies towards coming up with coherent message, or platform, or at least one or two actual policies”.
And indeed, Obama is leading by more than a few points. Click my name for the current score.
why waste your time with any other poll than Gallup? Gallup is the only on that has actually been proven to be accurate in the long run.
Fivethirtyeight eats Gallup for breakfast.
I believe electoral-vote.com includes Gallup among its polls. They take the average of several polls and represent that on the map.
What’s funny is Obama has outspent McCain 10 to one and yet is Barely ahead of him in some places.
lying Obama plant
you “dude” gunna lose
Care to tell me what I lied about? And pray tell, what evidence is there that would point toward a McCain win? Speaking of evidence, got any evidence that I’m a “plant”? The only “payment” I require from Obama is seeing him win next Tuesday. I have no doubt I’ll be paid in full.
n8… you just replied to a guy name “Mr. Morons”
Id have thought you’d have just read the name and well… take it at face value.
I like smacking morons around, what can I say?
“Im sorry for being such a loveable sadist” for one…
Can I get that on a t-shirt?
Now they’ll claim you are me- it’s the only way they can justify dissent.
Yeah I liked the 30 minute commercial that cut into the world series game.. I love how that obese family he interviewed was so poor that they couldnt ‘afford’ to have snacks anymore. Oh and the woman with the beautiful, long artificial nails could not decide if she could ‘afford’ a whole gallon of milk or a half gallon. Not to knock on Obama.. but lets face it, he is not going to take care of our problems. We are the problem. He is not going to make the middle class rich.
The game didn’t start until 8:30, it only cut into the pre-game. Not everyone is obese from overeating. Also, who are you to say they haven’t been losing weight due to their food regimen being cut back? I don’t recall them mentioning snacks at all, just about being able to go out to eat. Maybe the woman is a hand model or something, or maybe she does have screwed up priorities. You have a problem with people appearing clean and neat? That doesn’t mean her family isn’t hurting.
“We are the problem” So you’re on board with the “nation of whiners” thing? Clearly you’ve not faced hardship. Nobody is asking for the middle class to be made rich. All anybody wants is the opportunity to live the American dream. People can’t do that without healthcare, or food for their families. You are very good at repeating McCain’s talking points. Maybe we should call you Joe the Plumber. He’ll be voting against his own best interests.
I think he was pointing out that true poverty doesn’t look like what was shown on tv last night. It sure doesn’t wear manicured nails or complain that the kids don’t have snacks for the week while standing in front of a packed out refrigerator. And if you’re worried about being able to afford a gallon of milk versus a half a gallon, I think maybe you should cut back on the sodas that you’re buying that cost more than the milk. Water is free.
-
It was a weird anachronistic ad last night.
He was referring to the middle class, not people in poverty. However, people in the middle class are slipping closer and closer towards poverty all the time. In the very least, they can’t continue the lifestyle they’ve had for years, through no fault of their own. e.g. My husband and I keep making less every year the last few years instead of more. Why? The cost of the benefits we get through his work has increased more than the amount of his raise, and he can no longer get the overtime he used to because they don’t have the budget for it. We don’t always stretch so thin, but we’ve had weeks where we’re down to our last 20 bucks and have to live on ramen and mac&cheese. I have a bachelors degree, but can’t get a good job, so I am under-employed. That’s a stat I’d like to see! (The number of people who are working, but not to their experience/education level, and how much this has increased in the last 8 years. I know a lot of people in similar situations) My hubby That’s the point. People have to sacrifice some weeks over small things, when all they are trying to do is live life the way they’ve always done. That’s becoming increasingly difficult. The middle class need a break. They are the foundation of our economy, so if the middle class fails, and slides into poverty, the whole system tumbles.
Unfortunately because of where I live I didn’t get to see it. I’m living it vicariously through y’all though!
Here, it’s the youtube video of the show from his website.
That other one.
Obama comes off as someone who would babble on about ‘social inequity’ when drunk, rather than have a good time.
Oh, I don’t know. Usually the intellectuals are the fun ones to get drunk because they start babbling about all sorts of crazy things.
…or they finally neutralize those overanalytical brain cells and let their animal sides come out. Rawwwrrr!
I’ve always wanted to write the golden ratio on someone’s face when they were passed out…
I tried to do Pi once.
but I ran out of space
When in doubt, GO BELOW THE FACE!! O_O
You’d still run out of room, I guess..
Thats cuz beer is socialist…every body keeps buying it for everyone else, it comes in communal pitchers and everyone shares.
Beer is for Commies!!! Oh wait, what does McCain’s wife own again?
*headdesk* I really need to pay attention to the autofill at home. At work it autofills me, at home, it autofills Lynn. *headdesk*
Whoops! You’re in trouble now!
You’ve now tacitly admitted that you never get anything substantial done at work, because quite obviously all the reading and posting that “DWN” must be doing leaves little time for much more than breaks and lunch.
O_O!!!
I can’t seem to get anything done at work, either. I try to teach my students to be good free market americans, but they keep wanting to share, those darn commies.
MAX!!! You’re needed!!!
A long sunny day
But under my nose is shade
Lo, how large it is.
You heard it here first folks, Direct from the Nasal Passages deep within the Book of Achoo.
This was a horrible caption. Someone re-caption it quick!
I agree. They might as well have written: “Obama: I like him.” Then they may have been able to spell it right.
That caption is damn right! (apart from the typo, but w/e)
Vote Obama!
Yeah! Vote Obama! He’ll give me other people’s money!
They have too much.
They don’t deserve it.
They don’t need it.
I’ve been oppressed.
I haven’t had all their opportunities.
The system has kept me down.
It’s only fair.
It’s not a new idea, ffs.
Your $ is being “redistributed” as we type.
It’s just that the rich have always been able to get around paying their fair share.
Stopping that would free up lot of money for things that are needed-
not all “welfare” type programs are for the lazy.
(argh!)
Now you’re getting it!
And Joe Biden recently announced that the tax cuts will only affect those who earn “Under $150,000 a year”- it’s already coming down and will get much lower !
Please provide the source for this “Lowering” of the number? From beginning
to end Ive only hear 250K… but somehow republicans keep hearing different
numbers…
The only source I have (not linked in my name yet) is audio played on Rush. Will you accept that? I’ve heard the numbers go up and down too, but am not enough of a troll to point it out
Actually, he wants to give me my own money back. It’s mcCain and the GOP who want to take our money and give it to the rich bastards, who got rich because of the money we spent to develop the infrastructure that they took advantage of to get rich.
I ain’t eating no cake…bring back the guillotine!
Hah, again, a caption that could be translated as, “I have no funny to give you. Vote Obama!”
Sigh…I can’t wait till elections are over…
Amen.
Me too.
“Sigh…I can’t wait till elections are over…”
I concur.
me too!
Not me…this shit is awesome!
LOL! You would, but then your ex-Army.. oooh-rah!
Ive already voted.. let them be over.
‘I WILL HAVE TO PUT ASIDE MY HATRED’
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
From Sunday’s televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked about his
stance on the American Flag…
Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST
General Bill Ginn USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow
protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States
Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171… During rendition of the national
anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are
expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the
heart. At the very least, ‘Stand and Face It.’
Senator Obama, live on Sunday, states, ‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I
don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,’ Obama said. ‘There are a lot
of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.
And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs
bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial
and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’
If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.
‘We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign
our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if
elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East
Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as
the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will
seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at
war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive
thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair
injustice. My wife disrespects the flag for many personal reasons.
Together, she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the
past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine’.
‘Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the
United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring
CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and
I look forward to becoming our Country’s First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is
about to overwhelm the United States of America.’
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our
next President.
I, for one, am speechless.
Dale Lindsborg
Washington Post
Can you post a link to that? It doesn’t seem real for some reason.
I can post a link – a link to snopes debunking it.
Denial does not equal Debunking.
How about the fact that there is no ‘Dale Lindsborg’ working for the Washington Post? Or the fact that the Washington Post itself denies ever publishing this? Or how about the fact that Obama was NOT ON ‘Meet the Press’ that day? Please.
Er, when it’s backed up by facts and sources yes it does, especially when one of those links is to the SATIRE site that wrote it.
Yaaa, but I have seen just as bad posted about McCain then again we shouldn’t tolerate lies on either side.
A voice of sanity in this place?
I am in awe of you.
Now run while you can before you get trolled by everyone!!!!!
Unlike you, Death makes sense, and has intelligence and integrity, therefore,
he does not get “trolled” And by the way… having all the regulars here debunk
you, prove you to be wrong, or just plain crazy, isnt getting “trolled” its called
getting “pwned all up in that face”
Pretty sure yours wouldn’t qualify as a sane voice, no matter which side you were on.
This was @ miner obviously.
LOL, this story is a complete and total lie. Obama wasn’t even on MtP on Sept 7. So pathetic that you have to resort to this.
I didn’t think Obama would be that stupid. He’s too good of a politician for that. That’s why I asked for a link. I think we can safely say that ohno is a complete troll and more than likely someone’s sock to boot. *sigh* Some members of my party really make me sad.
The story is as real as the one in my link.
Wait. You don’t ‘think Obama would be that stupid?’ That implies he really believes that but is too smart to say it. How about ‘I don’t think Obama believes any of that, he loves his country.’
My beliefs on what Obama actually thinks fall squarely into the ‘right wing nut’ part of my brain, so I’ll refrain from posting them here
It’s all opinion, but I do have some proof that you guys will dismiss outright.
-
Having said that, I think that Obama is a politician in the same eschelon (sp? it’s early) as Clinton. And Clintion is probably the best politician I have ever seen in my life.
Froofrou, Obama does not hate America. He and John McCain both love their country and want what’s best for it. They have different ideas about what’s best, but I would never impugn McCain’s patriotism, nor insinuate that he secretly hates his country.
I never said that Obama hates America. I said that I don’t think he’s being honest about his beliefs.
Right, one can only hope that he’s a secret Atheist.
You know, it’s really not possible for a devout muslim to hide his religioun. They are required to live their lives openly. If he was enough of a muslim to become some kind of manchurian candidate, he’d be too much of a muslim to hide his religion.
I never said he was Muslim either.
In fact, I defended him on that fact (as much as it hurt me) a few LOLs ago.
I think at this point, I will accept the compliment from froofrou. I don’t think I can honestly change her mind, perhaps her religion, but not her mind. I just need the right flogger and time.
I suspect that ohno is actually EP.
konspirasee let me show u it
EP is pretty low, but I don’t actually think he’s the type to create a different name for himself. Now, Megabob? Yeah, it could totally be him, or ohno can just be his own wingnut.
See a Psychiatrist !!!!! Paranoia may destroy ya!
Hush Bob.. no one listens to you anymore… or any of your socks.
By the way… wash those things… they friggin stink man!
You’re really CeeFax, I know it !!!!
CONSPIRACY!!!!
I think he’s upset we seem to always magically know it’s him.
Hey minerva check it out.. Ive got my own troll! He likes me! He REALLY
likes me! At least enough to try to… well so far.. Im not sure what he’s
trying to do… being intelligent sure isnt it.
What do you feed him??? He sort of smells. Maybe if you bought him a pack of new socks.
I dont feed him.. he feeds off me!
Please do not repeat debunked hoaxes. All it takes is a quick check at the Washington Post to show they do not have a Dale Lindsborg working there, they have heard of this hoax, and they say obviously this was never published, we don’t even HAVE a Dale Lindsborg working for us.
Maybe you should check snopes before posting satire as fact and then you wouldn’t look like such a clueless crotch waffle.
yeah it was only a email, I don’t know what a “troll” is, I’m not a member of either party, but I lean to the Conservative of old, the current Republican Party is almost as lost as the Democratic..
I just passed something there quickly cuz I don’t trust this slick machine that produced a candidate better than the produced Clinton’s.
Srry folks, I’ll stick up a better copy and paste, if I do anymore.
You don’t trust the “slick machine” so you mindlessly forward and paste email chains without checking if they’re flat out lies?
He already apologized, what’s the point of continued harrassment?
E-penis enhancement?
In most cases ema, its to show that because of his previous actions, he’ll be taken
WAY less seriously.
ya. doesn’t anyone think some of the premise of the article is true though? Ideas already laid out by the Obama’s history, but someone’s compiling it into a bogus email?
Everyone here accepts an inflated caricature of political personalities, especially of the ‘other’ team.
No. None of the premise of the article is true. The idea that Obama hates America is just as ludicrous as the idea the McCain hates it. Lets try to stay out of the gutter, m’kay? Both candidates are patriots, both want to do what’s best for America, they just have different ideas. Here’s a thought, instead of debating the merits of the candidates themselves, how about we talk about their ideas, and why we agree or disagree with them?
Wow Seth, I didn’t realize the Logic League had you contracted to work today, but nice job of it!
The League kicked me out after I was caught trying to feel up ema in a backroom and ended up feeling up herb by accident. God that was awkward. Seriously the clubhouse needs better lightbulbs. And maybe being sober would help. And wearing pants. And… keeping my eyes open. And finding a way to cause ema to have amnesia to forget her stealth ninja training…
I *suppose* as leader of the Logic League I could let you in on a trial basis… but your wang must always be vigilant for talk of nazis!
Of course, Nazis beware! My wang is perked and ready for you!!!
Im going to have to retroactively cite you for drunken mistaken homo
psuedo molestation, that hadnt been mistaken would have probabl ybeen welcomes molestation, and of course… mental damages..
T_T… Damn… Tego wouldn’t have reported me… Why couldn’t I have accidentally felt him up instead of herb!?
Hahahahaha!
Oh, wait. You’re serious.
There is simply not enough Purplesaurus Rex Kool-aid for you to drink.
Your speechless because you have written so much bullshit in this letter that even you can’t believe it.
To reply to Ohno. I am also speechless!!!
I just like the priorities of the people in the picture. They are standing next to the probable future president of the united states, and they are staring at the pintrather than him.
That whole comment by ohno worries me. Ofc, Obama didn’t say any of that, but it just worries me that people exist that make up that kind of stuff, and that there could also possibly be a large number of people willing to believe it.
People also believe that Obama is a Muslim, an Arab, not a citizen of the US, a Black Power leader in disguise that will kill whitey once in power, a terrorist leader in disguise that will kill everyone once in power, someone who has tupperware parties with active terrorists, a baby eater, the anti-Christ, the next Hitler, the next Lenin, the next Marx, the next Stalin, and/or the next Saddam. No trufax will convince them otherwise.
Now my wang…
However, in light of my wang, I will state that Lynn’s stepmother honestly said that Obama was a Muslim and doesn’t matter what he says because… He just looks like one. *headdesk*
Wow. You gotta love when people are like that.
Ya her dad just got out of heart surgery so I plan to avoid contact with that couple and hopefully I won’t hear that woman say that within earshot… I would hate to unload on such a small woman.
I think her standpoint on everything is “whatever pisses the rest of you off the most” I don’t think she does it to actually have an opinion I think she does it for the luls.
Great, your stepmother is out to get me to strangle her if she pulls that on me…
Jeez, my future father-in-law is just like that. Drop a bomb, stir the pot, and sit back and laugh while everyone gets pissed and/or confused. So help me, he actually used the term ch*nk during a damn Thanksgiving dinner.
Ugh, issue beatings…
My Granny’s like that;
“I’m a right-wing communist,”
“ENOCH POWELL WAS RIGHT!”
“Maggie Thatcher was right to introduce poll tax,”
“Drug addicts should be executed,”
“I’m not a racist, but…..”
“The only reason I never entered politics was because I knew I wouldn’t succeed in bringing back hanging.”
(To a Mormon) “I DON’T LIKE MORMONS!”
“The Japanese are an evil people,”
and last, but not least:
“Hitler was misunderstood.”
-
Christmas dinner is interesting with her.
Hitler? You know the rule so you asked for this…
Now presenting my wang. It sings, it dances, it brings delight to the nations of the world.
The Logic League approves.
Woot!!! Wang power!
Hey, I wanna be in the LL! Can I? Huh? Can I?
I thought you was? Or were? Or are!
Grammar are word wot make me brain hurt!
I may be, althought sometimes logic escapes me. I just never received my certificate.
You know… this one time, Nasa’s space probe collided with an unknown planetary body with a small gravitational force. The probe exploded upon impact….
So let me telll you.. having a probe run into your nose freakin HURTS!
Fark… mistaken identity…
Drink for fun now, for if I become president, you’ll soon be drinking to try to forget what a fool you were for voting for me !
Where is the revolution I was promised in 1969?
Where are the flying cars?
And the singing cats???!?!?!
WHERE ARE MY MOONBOOTS AND JETPACKS?
Why aren’t we living on the Moon?
That’s actually a very good question…
I’m actually still waiting on the Space Elevator which will make orbit so affordable that, per pound, it would be less than a commercial airplane.
That would decrease the costs of spaceflight so dramatically that a moon base could be established within just a few years after the completion of the Elevator.
I think Japan is thinking about a space elevator, but hot damn that’s going to cost an exorbitant amount of money.
Still waiting on the carbon nanotubes to make the wire that elevator will need.
If it were made out of steel, then if one end of the cable were half a sentimentre, the other end would need to be wider than the solar system just to hold the weight.
The Christian right is desperately hanging on to the Age of Pisces. Sooner or later, Aquarius will kick in whether they like it or not…

Sorry, I absolutely HATE that song..
I don’t know it.
On the other hand, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a great song.
It was sung by the 5th Dimension and it’s enough to give you a headache. Became popular in the late 60′s. Hell, I bet CF knows it, and hopefully would agree with me.
This one doubles as a LOL and a FAIL! Grammar check FTW.
FAILOL?
Why doesn’t anyone else notice that Obama is the only one with a beer?
That socialist! He took my beer!
They’re going to share it!
Noooooooo!!
It’s almost always more fun to share a beer with others than to drink alone. The next round would be on me if I could afford it.
See! That’s the problem. They will take your money and your beer!
What’s this world coming too?!
If you’re gonna spread the wealth around, you better spread the beer too !!!!
I like talking points more than actually studying the facts and thinking for myself
Har har!

That other guy… I’d rather have him for president
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081030/ap_on_el_ge/fact_check_obama_ad
This picture would have been better using kool-aid considering all the brain washed Obama kool-aid drinkers on this website.
But those McCain supporters aren’t brainwashed, no sirree. LOL.
McCain supporters have nothing to do with the massive amounts of people brainwashed by Obama into thinking he’s going to “change” anything. The only thing he’s going to change if he puts his tax/welfare plan into place is the size of the deficit and debt; the very thing many Obama supporters criticize Bush for….
We are on the left hand side of the Laffer curve, according to recent studies raising taxes will actually raise Federal revenue, even accounting for any possible slowdown in the economy that raising taxes will create. So no, the deficit will not grow nearly as much under Obama’s plan as it did under Bush.
–
Nobody has been brainwashed. You are only saying that to discredit your opponents. All you are proving is that you have no rational arguments and must resort to insults. When you try to discount the intelligence of over half the country, you reveal yourself to be a small minded person.
You accuse me of not having a rational arguement but all you can offer as a rebuttal is “a recent study” saying we’re on the left hand side of the Laffer curve. Whoa! Don’t overwhelm me with facts. My small mind can’t take it.
Even your boy Obama has said he’s not going to rescind the Bush tax cuts on the “wealthy” since it would furthur damage the economy. I guess you better send him a memo about the recent study
He isn’t going to rescind? I missed that. I heard him say the exact opposite.
Do you make more than 250K? That must be why you are squealing.
Yes, he said he would not rescind the tax cuts.
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/sep2008/obam-s09.shtml
No, I do not make more than $250k. I would actually get about $1000 tax cut under Obaba,. However, I am smart enough to realize that taxing the rich in a down economy is not going to do anything other than increase our deficit and debt and drag out the recession.
Read the article. It does not say what you claim it does. And it is from the World Socialist Web Site. They are trying to show that Obama is not a socialist (which he most certainly isn’t!) and will not follow through with his promises to rescind the tax cuts. But the quotes they use only support the speculation that he might not, he does not come out and say that. Also, he has since clarified that he will rescind the tax cuts. Again, you fail to make your point.
–
The point of greatest revenue on the Laffer curve comes at the 65%
marginal tax rate, so raising taxes higher than that will be detrimental. But we are nowhere near the optimal tax rate. I posted a study showing that even considering the possibility that a tax hike will slow the economy, the Government will take in less revenue by lowering taxes at this point.
Since my comment won’t go through… again…. click my name to visit the link where he says he’s not going to rescind the tax cuts.
Jane here to claim it’s me in 3…2…1..
No, you don’t post links, you just rant.
Don’t you mean spew?
Well, that too.
Also, as much as I’d like to, I do not make more than $250k. I would actually save $1000 on my income taxes but I’m smart enough to realize that any increase in taxes on businesses will trickle down to those getting the cuts which negates even getting them in the first place.
“any increase in taxes on businesses will trickle down to those getting the cuts which negates even getting them in the first place.”
Well then Obama’s plan is not really wealth distribution and you can all stop calling him a socialist then.
I never called him a socialist but that doesn’t change the fact that it is wealth distribution. Welfare = wealth distribution. Taking money from one person who pays into the system and giving it to another who does not is redistributing that first persons wealth.
Are you talking about what the Republican states do to the
Democratic states? Most Republican states take more in Federal assistance than they pay in Federal taxes. Lets stop providing welfare to the states that can’t take care of themselves. Why should New York and California get $0.79 per dollar paid in taxes, when states like Alaska get $1.87?

Click my name for the non-profit, non-partisan Tax Foundation study that shows the Republicans are fiscally irresponsible welfare queens who won’t take responsibility for themselves. Why should I have to pay for lazy Republican slackers who take more than they give? I’ll start taking you guys seriously as soon as you start putting your money where your mouth is. Until then, you guys are just a bunch of whiny hypocrites who accuse everyone else of doing the very things you all do.
Republican states like mine who have a huge overwhelming population of lazy Dems (at least, who wear Obama shirts and scream about how the Repubs have screwed them over) who take said welfare but never go vote.
-
At least, that’s what I see from where I am.
For your statement to make sense, we need to postulate that all Republican states have tons of Democrats who don’t vote and are on welfare. That simply does not make sense. No, what we have here is a plain old pork-fest, with Republicans first at the trough. You can argue with statistics and try to spin it all you like, but I kinda, sorta think maybe you are seeing what you want to see and ignoring what you don’t want to see.

In any case, it is a problem inherent in our political structure, not in any one party. Small states have too much power. It’s coincidence that those states happen to be mostly Republican right now.
I’m admitting that I only see a small part of the whole.
Exactly. There is much more that affects how much a state takes rather than political affiliation.
Example: in the article, CA was one of the ten lowest, but wasn’t the Governator asking for a $7bil bailout for his own state? I’d bet that would skew the stats a bit.
I’ll have to read it fully when I get home from work this evening but just glancing over the last section about expenditures by state, it says direct payments to individuals is mostly evenly spread across the country. I fail to see the point you’re trying to make.
You just said mostly evenly.. meaning, they’re not evenly spread.
Thats his point.
But you’re just saying that so-called ‘welfare’ (I like how tax cuts are welfare now) is negated anyway, so what’s the problem?
Here’s an idea, when you get your tax cut write a cheque to Microsoft, Walmart or somewhere. You can do it, fight socialism!
Click my name to read the study I mentioned. And I stand by my comment, small minded people insult others rather than refute their arguments.
Is that an insult?
You’ve just insulted most of the Liberals here on this website!
Anger, frustration, doubt, incontinence, pandemonium…. My work here is done !
Up , up and away !!!!!!!!
I think you proved his example actually… Failure to understand subtlety…again.
You accuse me of not having a rational arguement but all you can offer as a rebuttal is “a recent study” saying we’re on the left hand side of the Laffer curve. Whoa! Don’t overwhelm me with facts. My small mind can’t take it.
Even your boy Obama has said he’s not going to rescind the Bush tax cuts on the “wealthy” since it would furthur damage the economy. I guess you better send him a memo about the recent Laffer curve study…
Also, lol @ the thought of half the country actually being intelligent enough to vote on the issues at hand.
Small minded, and an elitist. Stay classy!
A guy named Shepard calling the other side sheep…. God… there’s a word
for this situation.. but IRONICALLY…. it escapes me.
Obama = not Bush, which is one hell of a change for lots of people.
..and anyone that uses that reason to vote and not actually look at his policies is brainwashed.
Hey, like all those people who are voting for McCain just because Obama is black!
Yes, along with all the black people voting for Obama because he is black. It’s a double edge sword and both sides are retarded for doing so.
Yes, we’ve established that there are wack jobs, retards, lazy twits, sheeple, morons, dumbasses, jackasses, etc etc on ALL partisan sides of the election. Is there anyway we can stop bringing up this “But But but you guys too” argument?
Does anyone have a body part they would like to discuss whenever we hear the “butbutbut you guys do it too!” argument? I would like to nominate my hemorrhoids. Did you know they are particularly itchy today?
Well my wang has Nazis, Maxwell’s nose has commies, Your hemorrhoids can have the whiners.
“My wang has Nazis…” I wonder if they have a cream for that?
I don’t think your wang ever gets rid of Nazis. I think at best you can take medication to control your outbreaks of Nazis and hopefully you won’t pass Nazis on to Lynn. Good luck!
Or you… or Tego… or… Max… Or Froofrou… or…. etc etc etc…
It does give new meaning to Blitzkrieg.
O.o I don’t want Nazis! Damn it! Will condoms stop the spread of them?
God I hate condoms…
Ditto, and the damn things keep breaking (along with having another problem with them that I shall not detail here……froofrou is a happy girl though
)
I always found them too tight and they break too much for me.
Twice daily Nazix… to stay safe and control your Nazi outbreaks. Talk to your doctor.
In bed.
My nose has commies… does that mean my nose shares with everyone?
That is scarier than my wang. Which is saying a lot.
A good example of this sites political leanings. This one is completely idiotic, even the grammar is wrong, and yet it gets to the front page because it makes obama look good.
Stupid, it’s just stupid.
So, when do we get some captions that are funny?
if it features Obama, it’s more likely to praise him than poke fun at him. I like Obama but it’s getting old and annoying to some degree…
Ya, this lol actually annoys the hell outta me. I am going to mock this picture… Give me a minute to recaption.
This would have been a perfect picture to mock the “Messiah” name that Obama has picked up.
“And now this water has turned into beer!”
Plus, there is a dude in the back with a cell camera taking pics.
BTW, I found out where the ‘Messiah’ thing came from. It wasn’t us right-wingers, it was actually Louis Farakkan (sp?) back in (I think) February.
Well clearly it came from a nutjob then, and hopefully can be forgotten about. LOL
It’s the daily blame put on the wrong people for these names that irritates me
The left is just as guilty of it as the right, and have come up with some doozies for their own candidates!
Alternative caption: Click my name.
lol, nice.
I aim to please.
See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? I don’t care who gets made fun of – they’re all total douchebags, frankly.
Exactly. Besides, it will be less than a few months before the new president is made fun of constantly anyways. Honestly, I can’t wait for all this party nonsense to end so I can go back to making fun of everyone without half of the population trying to call me stupid
THERE we go! lol worthy in every form of the word, cobrajoe, today, I am glad
to have known you…
In biblical and acquaintance terms alike.
Well… I’m glad to be known.
Now if everybody knew me as well as you…
Kinky but no. I am just happy to be a pal.
Well, I hope I have enough change to buy a beer next year, if he gets elected.
Hopefully you will, as long as you’re not a plumber.
Fox News smears
Palin can’t think
JM sneers
You might as well drink
How the hell do you make that typo, the two keys are pretty far from each other. If it was an M or a B, I would understand, but a T?
Hmm… who else got elected because Americans would rather have a beer with him? Let’s think about that for a moment.
“that other guy” is William Carter!
you misspelled it dumbass!!!!
I actually would’ve lol’d if this was the caption.
Dude, did you just quote the exact fake Onion article I posted earlier and try to pass it off as truthiness?
“My old age and creeping senility, coupled with my ungodly lust for little jewish boys would definitely make me an awkward president. I still have issues with incontinence and spontaneous masturbation which would make any kind of negotiation difficult at best.” McCain said with his hand creeping into his pants before his haggard wife patted his arm to remind him he was in public.
“The economy I am even less sure of. I have advisors but I tend to tune them out as I replay showtunes and clips of Top Gun in my head while I mentally undress Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise. God that is hot… Wait, where am I? Oh yes, the economy….” It was then they realized that McCain had fallen asleep. When shaken, he woke up and swore in Vietnamese. Then his eyes refocused and he blurted out.
“Just remember, I’m a maverick who was tortured. I still get chills from being tied up. Make sure to get out and vote on the 4th. Now somebody tell Palin to meet me in my office and bring a Viagra and Chapstick.” With an odd smile he left with Cindy forcing an exasperated grin and then leaving to get another shot of Bourbon and Vicodin. Palin blushed, rambled for a bit and then left, applying her chapstick.
HAVE YOU SEEN DEEP BLUE SEA? A MOTHERF*CKIN SHARK ATE ME!
Dude.. I laughed so hard I actually for the first time in my life had to go pee.
That post was made of 100% pure victory. Kudos, DWN!
And to clarify… had to pee from laughing… not peeing for the first time in my life…
I am honored to have forced your bladder… >_>
<_<
In bed.
And I was all set to congratulate you!!
Depends.. good enough for me and McCain!
(McCain is old lol… GET IT!?)
For the sake of humor, I resisted my civilized instinct to not stoop to his level as they say not to argue with stupidity since they will bring you to their level and then beat you with experience.
Little did he know, I am a very experienced idiot…
