That is Awesome!!!!!

but here is my opinion, I pm'd it to steve but thought it was to good to hide!

Mark my words, Obama is going to win and then drive straight to the center of the road faster than that old chick with the new boobs in the old Porsche Cup car at the last PCA event. (say that fast 3 times after 4 beers) It will be the Clinton years all over. The Republicans will be happy cause they can blame the morale decline of the world on the Democrats and we will be left enough to make the Democrats happy. Everybody will start charging everything again and let our Grandkids pay for it (yes i know, GW has been spending more than a drunken sailor on leave) Good times for all

Rather than have 3 debates next year, I want us to have two debates and one session hooked up to a lie-detector rig.

Imagine how much these guys would be sweating if they suddenly had to tell the truth!

Of course, we might just find out that they believe their rhetoric, and that would be even more scary.

3 debates?

Nahhhhhhh 1 debate repeated 2 times

Rodney is a waxer (but in a good way)

True story, Steve called me last night and said he had no access to computers and he was on his way to Costa Rica on a bannana boat and wanted me to post that. Do you think he was maybe gloating a little?

He better hope he dosen't make more than 250K this year or his gloat will be seen as bloat and some redistribution of the wealth shall occur.

I definitely don't believe in tiered taxing, but what bothers me more is the plan to up corporate taxes, particularly big oil. While it does sound outrageous the sheer amount of profit that oil companies make, the reality is that they generally only make 10% on the investors dollar. Google, OTOH, has been making 23%! But the reality is that if you up corporate taxes like big oil, they are still under pressure to make their 10% (or more if they can). How can that be if they pay more in taxes? Simple. Charge the customer more. Which means corporate taxes are really just taxes on people buying things from said corporations, and in the case of oil that's pretty much everybody since even if you don't drive, you eat, and food gets shipped, too.

So upping corporate taxes like that is just a way to cheat the system...people don't realize that the corporate taxes affect them and thus just say "well, better the corporation gets taxed than me!"

So I guess I *do* prefer corporate taxes to raising the taxes on the rich even more, but that's just a personal preference. I don't think that's necessarily good for the country, however.

Amen, Brother Donnie!

Of course you noticed all the noise about taxing the Oil companies dropped as gas prices dropped. In the beginning the thought was brought up about how it was hurting the poor as the increase in gasoline prices was a more significant percentage of their income (of course that is true). What I want to know is who is concerned about the outrageous profits of the entertainment industry, Cable TV, Movie Theaters, and I will add Cell phone companies. Everytime I go to one of those establisments I see a lot of people who I don't think has a much money as me spending a lot more.

Ok, I feel better.
