Pardon me Calvin, but to me you sound like the sound bites off many of the main stream media. Hmm...the media has gone to great lengths to protect and shelter Obama. People have been robbed of asking authentic and concerning questions that should be looked at carefully, and sidetracked with non-issue stuff and fluff. Sad. I have never seen such an organized media bias in my life time.
If BO wins, this country will be in grave danger. Ask Biden, Hillary, and plenty of other dems who have stated it as well, when there wasn't something in it for them to suddenly flip/flop. This has nothing to do with being an alarmist. Has everything to do with his radical record (when he decided to vote) and who he hangs with - or maybe just who he has used to climb up the political ladder, or maybe who is using him.
Among many other things that concern me, some mentioned above, I don't care to have my "wealth" spread around, thank you. Gee, which wealth number are we talking? It once was those who made a million or more, then it went to 500g, then to 250, then to 200 (as of last week in the infomercial) and then to 120, and right back to 42,500 where BO put his vote before. I would rather GIVE to help my neighbor then have it taken from me and given to someone feels who they deserve my hard earned living. We have a small business, and we are well aware of what BO will do to us. We already feel much of that pain in our Dem run state....they never have enough, they have to find ways to take more and more.....maybe I should just quit and get the welfare that will be there for me instead. Why work? I deserve to collect from someone else who works, especially those big companies that make too much, guess they won't have as much left to invest in growing their business and hiring more people, but I'm sure they won't mind laying people off to pay me who wants to sit home and collect my new "pay". Like the lady who said she didn't need to worry about filling her gas tank, buying her groceries, paying her rent or anything of her bills, because Obama was going to take care of her. She decided she didn't need to work so much to get somewhere. No need.
Programs are great if they teach and educate people to take care of themselves and their families, but not if they enable people to be dependent on the govt, which really only buys continued votes, which is a nice way of keeping power.
BO voted 94 times to RAISE taxes in his short time as a senator...that's the dem way. BIIIIIGGG govt.
Should we talk about BO's votes on botched abortions too?? Very sensitive subject.....
The media has been on a hate fest against Bush for 8 years, and especially the past 4, mostly to being EXTREMELY poor losers and a plan to make everything that has gone wrong about Bush...well, remember that it was under Clinton that the idea of putting people who could not afford it in situations that were part of this large economic mess with Frannie and Freddie, and Frank and the dems in control the past two years who sealed the fate of them by saying no regulation was needed after Bush called for review SEVERAL times since 2002, and of course Ol Barney Frank said just this summer (in July) that all was fine with F&F!! HA!!! Well, they would say that as BO was one of the top 3 benefactors along with Dodd. Doesn't it smell funny to you?? So, thank Frank and Dodd for their dedication to oversight of these programs.
Bush has kept us safe, as one canadian lady said, "why do so many americans hate their president? He said he would keep them safe and he has!". They hate because they have been told to and why. Not because they have thought things out on their own. No president does everything perfectly, and as I recall, no president has had to fight terrorism like we have it now.
Among other stark comparisons I could mention, I would rather have someone who is against and has NEVER asked for any ear marks (like McCain) while BO has asked for almost 1 mil per day he has been in office...hmm...
If he wins, change is on the way, but in my opinion, it won't be good change.
Some things Obama has planned.
1. It is said Obamas team will cut the military budget by 35 percent the first week in office.
2. Cut almost all military Research and developement of new weapons systems.
3. Have Congress pass a bill that will force conservative radio programs have opossing viewpoints presented or the radio stations will lose their license. This is an attack on programs like Rush Limbaugh.
4. Force every employer to have a health plan or be fined.
5. Increase social security tax to unlimited income for all incomes over 250,000 dollars.
6. Increase the taxes on all families earning more than $250,000 and give the extra money in tax rebates to those with less money. Redistributing the wealth is good for America says Obama.
7. Increase the corporate tax rates. This will make the recession deeper but Obama does not seem to realize this.
Just some of the things Obama has planned for us.
THE SKY IS FALLING. THE SKY IS FALLING. I love you Obama alarmist. Yeah, even this was true, which is is not, only 2% of Americans make more than $250K. You where not complaining with Bush/McCain and the republican controled congress with giving these increasing tax breaks to the wealth and corporations.
Now this is what you ought to be scared about. A McCain that voted 90% with Bush, who has a 22% approval rating, the lowest ever of any president. Worst encomonic situation in recent history, banks falling, two wars, etc. etc.
We need real change in American...and on Tuesday with an Obama win we will be on our way.
