The day after the elections I am switching my affiliation to Libertarian. The FedGovt is to big and its too powerful and its too stupid.” 11:09:25 AM 10/29/08 “whether or not his list of wants will grow, you CANNOT reduce taxes on 95% of Americans, when only 40% of them pay taxes!! Not ... even ... close!!” 11:09:54 AM 10/29/08 “hyway, totally agreed on the spending. I don't think either party has the answers.” 11:14:42 AM 10/29/08 “The great thing is that after B.O. gets elected you can bet all the stories of corruption and falisified voting will just disappear...just like 92 all US attorneys will be fired....and the grand socialist system will be started. I am waiting to see how long the luster stays on him. The great thing about socialist and other emotional types is that they have to continually be refreshed with new emotion...LOL” 12:01:05 PM 10/29/08 Notice to All Employees “As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness: 1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales commissions into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a "fair shake." 2. All hourly employees will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours. 3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us. 4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all." 5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth." Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic." 6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!! If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.” 12:03:19 PM 10/29/08 Terry Tate: Reading Is Fundamental 12:04:06 PM 10/29/08 “What is it going to take folks? Don't you see what we have here? This man is a dedicated leftist who is really really fond of basic Marxist ideas, including redistribution of wealth! He has no appreciation for free enterprise. Everything to him is about government. Only government can provide. Only government can determine who has what. Only government can solve problems. How in the hell can the people of a (supposedly) free nation take this man and elevate him to the position of president? Our Republic is threatened by this man and his ideas. Time to mature and think about what you're going to do next week.” 12:11:28 PM 10/29/08 “It's what the people want.” 12:12:25 PM 10/29/08 “Oh I get it strat - we were all commies in the 1990s.... rigggghhhhtttttt. That's like, funny and stuff. Go McCain! Hyway - Dayhiker - question for you - when did we last have a budget surplus then? Mutt - why don't you stick to crying about your guns. last edited: 10/29/08 12:15:48 PM” 12:13:36 PM 10/29/08 “That's a boy , keep that flock of cheap outa my garden.” 12:21:43 PM 10/29/08 socialism is the gateway drug to comunism “What does the triumvirate of Obama-Pelosi-Reid offer? Rep. Barney Frank is calling for new tax hikes on the most successful and a 25 percent across-the-board slash in national defense. Sen. John Kerry is talking up new and massive federal spending, a la FDR's New Deal. Specifically, we can almost surely expect: -- Swift amnesty for 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens and a drive to make them citizens and register them, as in the Bill Clinton years. This will mean that Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona will soon move out of reach for GOP presidential candidates, as has California. -- Border security will go on the backburner, and America will have a virtual open border with a Mexico of 110 million. -- Taxes will be raised on the top 5 percent of wage-earners, who now carry 60 percent of the U.S. income tax burden, and tens of millions of checks will be sent out to the 40 percent of wage-earners who pay no federal income tax. Like the man said, redistribute the wealth, spread it around. -- Social Security taxes will be raised on the most successful among us, and capital gains taxes will be raised from 15 percent to 20 percent. The Bush tax cuts will be repealed, and death taxes reimposed. -- Two or three more liberal activists of the Ruth Bader Ginsberg-John Paul Stevens stripe will be named to the Supreme Court. U.S. district and appellate courts will be stacked with "progressives." -- Special protections for homosexuals will be written into all civil rights laws, and gays and lesbians in the military will be invited to come out of the closet. "Don't ask, don't tell" will be dead. -- The homosexual marriages that state judges have forced California, Massachusetts and Connecticut to recognize, an Obama Congress or Obama court will require all 50 states to recognize. -- A "Freedom of Choice Act" nullifying all state restrictions on abortions will be enacted. America will become the most pro-abortion nation on earth. -- Affirmative action -- hiring and promotions based on race, sex and sexual orientation until specified quotas are reached -- will be rigorously enforced throughout the U.S. government and private sector. -- Universal health insurance will be enacted, covering legal and illegal immigrants, providing another powerful magnet for the world to come to America, if necessary by breaching her borders. -- A federal bailout of states and municipalities to keep state and local governments spending up could come in December or early next year. -- The first trillion-dollar deficit will be run in the first year of an Obama presidency. It will be the first of many. Welcome to Obamaland!” 12:32:13 PM 10/29/08 “Y2, when Clinton was in office with a Repub Congress. Double anything is going to be trouble.” 12:32:41 PM 10/29/08 “I don't know, it's almost easier for the Dems if they don't get 60 seats. Holding every single dem together on every single issue is a tough call anyway. I do know we need some reforms now - and I just personally don't think McCain is capable of doing the job - he's shown how he reacts under pressure - getting flustered and making bad snap decisions.” 12:43:37 PM 10/29/08 “Y2, people don't want to hear your negative attacks, lets talk about the issues” 12:44:36 PM 10/29/08 Socialism good, magic bad “Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days Barack Obama shrugs off charges of socialism, but noted in his own memoir that he carefully chose Marxist professors as friends in college. By Bill Sammon Tuesday, October 28, 2008 German philosopher Karl Marx, author of "The Communist Manifesto," advocated redistributing wealth in order to achieve a classless society. (AP Photo) German philosopher Karl Marx, author of "The Communist Manifesto," advocated redistributing wealth in order to achieve a classless society. (AP Photo) Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism. But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34. Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists." Obama's interest in leftist politics continued after he transferred to Columbia University in New York. He lived on Manhattan's Upper East Side, venturing to the East Village for what he called "the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union." After graduating from Columbia in 1983, Obama spent a year working for a consulting firm and then went to work for what he described as "a Ralph Nader offshoot" in Harlem. "In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia," Obama wrote in "Dreams," which he published in 1995. "At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature." Obama supporters point out that plenty of Americans flirt with radical ideologies in college, only to join the political mainstream later in life. But Obama, who made a point of noting how "carefully" he chose his friends in college, also chose to launch his political career in the Chicago living room of Ayers, a domestic terrorist who in 2002 proclaimed: "I am a Marxist." Also present at that meeting was Ayers' wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, who once gave a speech extolling socialism, communism and "Marxism-Leninism." Obama has been widely criticized for choosing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an anti-American firebrand, as his pastor. Wright is a purveyor of black liberation theology, which analysts say is based in part on Marxist ideas. Few political observers go so far as to accuse Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, of being a Marxist. But Republican John McCain has been accusing Obama of espousing socialism ever since the Democrat told an Ohio plumber named Joe earlier this month that he wanted to "spread the wealth around." Obama's running mate, Biden, recently contradicted his boss, saying: "He is not spreading the wealth around." The remark came as Biden was answering a question from a TV anchor who asked: "How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?" "Are you joking? Is this a joke? Or is that a real question?" an incredulous Biden shot back. "It's a ridiculous comparison." But the debate intensified Monday with the surfacing of a 2001 radio interview in which Obama lamented the Supreme Court's inability to enact "redistribution of wealth" -- a key tenet of socialism. On Tuesday, McCain said Obama aspires to become "Redistributionist-in-Chief." Obama has managed to cultivate the image of a political moderate in spite of his consistently liberal voting record. In 2006, he published a second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope," that leaves little doubt about his adherence to the left. "The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact," Obama wrote in "Audacity." "Much of what I absorbed from the sixties was filtered through my mother, who to the end of her life would proudly proclaim herself an unreconstructed liberal." National Journal magazine ranked Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate. The publication is far from conservative, employing such journalists as Linda Douglass, who resigned in May to become Obama's traveling press secretary.” 12:47:19 PM 10/29/08 “Sure - economy has tanked under conservative policies. McCain will follow exaclty the dame policies as George Bush and will therefore take America deeper into the mire. Things will get worse under a John McCain administration on all fronts due to the policies he will follow.” 12:48:27 PM 10/29/08 “The econo0my was great until the dems got congress back 2 years ago. Obama is the NUMBER 1 most liberal menber of congress, followed by a socialist at #2 and Biden at #3. Obama made 4 million bucks last year and lived in a 1.5 million dollar house. Not your average Joe. He is an out of touch elitist” 12:51:33 PM 10/29/08 “So I forget, what is Obama today, Marxist or terrorist? or Marxist Terrorist Muslim, Muslim terrorist marxist who wasn't born in America who is related to Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden? Or is he just the anti-christ?” 12:55:33 PM 10/29/08 “So I forget, what is Obama today, Marxist or terrorist? or Marxist Terrorist Muslim, Muslim terrorist marxist who wasn't born in America who is related to Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden?

Hail to the Chief Strat! Hum it next time you see him on TV - probably tonight - I mean it's best you get used to it now.” 1:35:59 PM 10/29/08 “the latest battleground poll puts them 3 points apart with 5 percent still undecided.” 1:47:42 PM 10/29/08 Dumbass Obama “Barack Obama, in Raleigh, N.C., was doing a riff attacking John McCain for supporting the idea of putting some mandatory retirement money into the stock market. “If Senator McCain is elected, we’ll have another president who wants to privatize part of your Social Security. Could you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks, these last two months? You wouldn’t need Social Security. You’d be having a — like, what was it, Sanford and Son. `I’m coming Weezie!” Weezie was on The Jeffersons. The famous line Obama f'ed up was from Redd Foxx’s Fred Sanford character, who faked having a heart attack to draw sympathy from his son, Lamont: “Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth?! I’m coming to join you, honey!” DUMBASS last edited: 10/29/08 2:23:17 PM” 2:22:40 PM 10/29/08 “What a GAFF!!!!!!!!!!!” 2:49:51 PM 10/29/08 “Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita said his office has found evidence of “multiple criminal violations,” possibly involving state and federal racketeering laws, in connection with fraudulent voter registration applications. Rokita, Indiana’s top election official, sent a letter last week to U.S. Attorney David Capp and Michael Welch, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis office, presenting the findings and requesting prosecution. The letter also went to Bernard Carter, prosecutor in Lake County, Ind., where the probe turned up more than 1,400 fraudulent applications. The allegations are aimed at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which is being investigated for similar issues in more than 10 other states, the Indianapolis Star reported.” 2:57:08 PM 10/29/08 “OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it'll be thrown out of court like...all of the other b.s. accusations made by Republicans grasping at the rung that is rapidly falling out of reach.

He said both of them had issues with women. The hypocrisy of tilt and violin is starting to get a bit much. I read about the Libbies bringing in the FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, S.W.A.T., ICE, CSI-NY, The Closer, Blade, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and just about everyone else today because they found an effigy of “The One” on some “college campus.” They said it was some kind of “hate crime.” The effigy of the Governor of Alaska is just fun “art” though to tilt and violin. They are two sick puppies. last edited: 10/29/08 7:23:34 PM” 7:14:38 PM 10/29/08 ““So if Obama is elected, are all you nutjobs going to move to Idaho and live in a bunker?” No, we will all become Georgia goobers, live in the basement, masturbate to astrology web sites and put up a front of false intellectualism on web boards.” 2:49:49 AM 10/30/08 “Landslide. It's gonna be a landslide.” 7:24:02 AM 10/30/08 “no matter a Rep or Dem, that pic is sick.” 7:33:17 AM 10/30/08 “In all fairness, here is some spin from last night's infomercial. He does promise the moon. That could definitely come back to bit the Dems in the next election: Obama's prime-time ad skips over budget realities Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office. Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are — beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. A sampling of what voters heard in the ad, and what he didn't tell them: THE SPIN: "That's why my health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year." THE FACTS: His plan does not lower premiums by $2,500, or any set amount. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggest cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it's not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums. ___ THE SPIN: "I also believe every American has a right to affordable health care." THE FACTS: That belief should not be confused with a guarantee of health coverage for all. He makes no such promise. Obama hinted as much in the ad when he said about the problem of the uninsured: "I want to start doing something about it." He would mandate coverage for children but not adults. His program is aimed at making insurance more affordable by offering the choice of government-subsidized coverage similar to that in a plan for federal employees and other steps, including requiring larger employers to share costs of insuring workers. ___ THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost." THE FACTS: Independent analysts say both Obama and Republican John McCain would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years — and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, whose other findings have been quoted approvingly by the Obama campaign, says: "Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years." The analysis goes on to say: "Neither candidate's plan would significantly increase economic growth unless offset by spending cuts or tax increases that the campaigns have not specified." ___ THE SPIN: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax credit for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. " THE FACTS: His proposals — the tax cuts, the low-cost loans, the $15 billion a year he promises for alternative energy, and more — cost money, and the country could be facing a record $1 trillion deficit next year. Indeed, Obama recently acknowledged — although not in his commercial — that: "The next president will have to scale back his agenda and some of his proposals."” 7:42:36 AM 10/30/08 7:56:31 AM 10/30/08 Jump to Page << prev
