He is trying to pander to his core supporters, many who pay 0 individual taxes by the time they file. Why can't people see that the more corporate taxes go up, the cost is passed onto the people. Gas affects everything from food to manufactured goods. IMO they should be finding a way to bring corporate taxes to zero (I didn't say zero comp
Thanks for the engaging discussion. I think everyone would agree a nuclear war would be bad on any scale. I've commented much more than I expected to on the matter, so I won't delve deeper. The curious reader has a starting place if they want to learn more, no matter what side of the fence they sit on - 100% nuke free or they exist, let's not be the one holding the short straw, or somewhere
Just because he says it, don't mean that's what he'll do. What it does mean is he will say whatever it takes to get a vote.
[quote]On Iraq, Obama has been most consistent and I think the remarkable surge in his popularity is due in part to the unpopularity of Bush's "Surge".[/quote] He consistently states he will pull all troops out of Iraq (IMO surrender). The surge has been proven to have worked, and you are correct, Obama was/is against it. This is the only topic of his that I can speak of as the rest o
[quote]No. If anything, the Repubs should do the delegate split like the Demos.[/quote] I disagree, too much hair splitting, besides does second place really matter when it comes down to it. It's not like they get a silver medal. Second place is first loser IMO. Keep the vote count just in case something unforeseen happens and for candidate’s egos. If primaries were held on one
Problem is people have short memories when it comes time to vote. It should be a requirement to have a large, easy to read poster of each bill/law the candidate (local and state) supported during their last term placed in a prominent location at each polling place. Maybe the memory deficient would be reminded. All candidates should welcome this approach if they are proud of their voting
One interesting thing about slavery that you hardly hear mentioned is that other blacks (possibly rival tribes) are the people that captured and sold the slaves to the white (mostly Dutch) slavers. The white guys didn't go into the jungle; they waited on the docks, with the cash, beads, and trinkets, whatever. So blacks are equally responsible, at least in some respects. Besides, before the
[quote]Have you ever heard me speak? LOL! You would be surprised! See my writing pattern![/quote] LOL, well your doing something right, I can understand you easily enough. The way we all speak is fine, just when you know someone is forcing an accent to empathize with their audience. If it's a comedy routine, that's one thing (just don't be the white guy doing it at the Apollo, lol), b
He pretty much has to offer the financial help. In return she smoothes things over with her supporters and asks them to vote for Obama, and gives a convincing performance of support herself. If he said no, she could threaten to run as an Independent and while probably not take the Democratic faithful, take enough to ensure Obama's defeat in November. I'm sure the burning "love" between them
If they were smart the Democratic primaries would be like the Republican primary. Winner takes the state and all delegates, NO super delegates (why should they have more say that the average joe/jane?). But that would be admitting the Republican format is better, can't have that now. <span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif&
[quote]I like Carter's approach better. Bring the KY Jelly. [/quote] Thought he used peanut oil?
The Pflegger thing cracks me up. If I were black I'd be offended that he put on his best street "African American" accent during his sermon. I guess if people like the message, they are willing over look the delivery method. If Bush went to New Orleans after Katrina and said, "We's be here to hep ya's wif you cribs", I'm sure it would have been mentioned. (slightly exagerated and no offense if that is how you are able to communicate). I'm with LW, I can't understand why someone th
[/quote][quote]in your opinion we should resume testing for the purpose [/quote] I don't see how the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty you mention has squat to do with the Compressive Test Ban Treaty. You are obviously unaware of the Nuclear Reliability Testing progr
Lwt's hope cooler heads prevail.
[quote]Yea we should break the NPT,[/quote] Perhaps you didn't see my words "In my opinion" I respect yours. Old weapons are not necessarily safe weapons. I don’t advocate breaking any treaties, but a possible amendment could be wise for all participants concerned to ens
[quote]Sounds fascist to me.[/quote] Paladin, neither Barak or Hillary seem fascist to me. Socialist (they take stuff too) definately. If they were fascists at least they would avocate a strong military and not surrendering to a nearly defeated enemy in Iraq. No these canidates are clearly to the left.
[quote]to allow and even improve nuclear weapons [/quote] Nuclear weapons cannot be un-invented. In fact more countries will get the technology as the science becomes easier to obtain and cheaper. In my opinion the weapons should continue to be developed, the cleaner the weapon the better. It's been decades since the US exploded a bomb. Reliability checks are done by software alg
Scarey...This guy has led a sheltered life, maybe he should buy the world a coke (for those old enough to remember that commercial).
What ever happened to asking for volunteers?
People he's just here to make trouble, why give him the satisfaction? Don't bother with him, and he'll get bored and go back to the Daily Kos.
[ quote]But he didn't vote against it either now did he? [/quote] Obama was at church during that time, finishing his 20 year Marxist ideology training. </sp
Not to mention the black liberation theology Mr. Obama has been listening to for 20 years is based on Marxist principles stemming from Latin America. I could maybe listen to something (casually, research excluded) I disagree with for 20 min. before having enough of it. There is something there when a person will keep coming back time and time again to listen. This man will either be an ineffe
[quote]It is amusing to see them tear themselves apart with the lies they have been heaping on the republicans for years.[/quote] But when have they ever applied the rules to themselves? Ask one of the true believers and they will tell you it's not the same thing. My example the_politico...funny he hasn't chimmed in.
The witch may be dead, but don't expect much when the wizard steps out from behind his quasi-socialist curtain. Change you can believe in LOL. He'll change into the same politician as the rest of them, there's the change. Ah the dissapointed looks on there little faces when the realization hits, priceless.
