"Share the Wealth"

[Bassett]

Shouldn't Sara Palin address issues on shows like " meet The Press". 'Face the Nation", and "This Week" before she starts the entertainment circuit? We Americans should demand more information from this person who has been kept away from the press. If she goes on Saturday Night Live before she sits down with a Sunday Morning Political Discussion she will prove she is all hype and no substance. When was the last election where the VP candidate skipped these shows? My guess is that she would be the first and probably the last.

I'm really sorry I missed the shows "Meet The Press", "Face the Nation", and "this Week" when Joe Biden was on.

I would have like to have seen them.

 

[Danielle_E.]

She's made herself pretty available for questions

This whole election turned into a JOKE..

I totally agree, it's like a three ring circus and a magic act all in one. Lots of illusions trying to be passed-off as fact

 

[littlesteppers]

Yeah..would be much easier if we all stopped thinking and just votefor Obama..huh?

 

[littlesteppers]

Christine.. Really.. it is not that I try to make anyone vote for Obama.. I just see so much that is going on and wonder why others do not see it??
I find this election totally off the wall and a lot of it has to do with Palin/McCain.. Something is terribly wrong in the way they are going about things in this election..

I am done with all this again.. I just want it to be over as I am tired of the total mud-slinging, untruths and lying.. It is really sad..

ML..I believe this election is MUCH more than just an election..people fearing to loose EVERTHING this country stands for..and yes there is much cheating and lying..this is why people are so outraged..

 

[Buckskin gal]

Perhaps the one side is trying to "make" people vote to their way of thinking and therefor accuse the same for others. I can hear your frustration ML. I do agree that there is something terribly wrong with the way McCain/Palin are going on with things and this election. There are very few straight answers from them and so many false claims that I find it almost unreal. For someone qwho started out saying he would run a clean campaign it sure has turned to mud. JMHO

You kidding right...

 

[Minimor]

I have to say that from everything I have seen, read and heard (here and elsewhere), it wouldn't matter a plugged nickel what McCain or Palin said or did, those that don't like them now would never like them--and would never have a good thing to say about them. ML--you surely don't expect any of us to believe that you'd be in favor of McCain/Palin if only he had said....what you want to hear?? If Palin went on those news shows you believe she should be on, you would just use it as one more opportunity to make fun of her and put her down.

I realize that it is also true that those that don't like or trust Obama would not like or trust him no matter what he had to say. That's exactly why all the mudslinging is pointless. Absolutely pointless. And I just don't see the Democrats and Obama supporters as being lily white when it comes to mudslinging...they/you have been doing their/your fair share.

Once upon a time there was a spoof on the show Royal Canadian Air Farce. I don't even remember now what the skit was about, but there was one line they used that has stuck in my memory all this time.

I have to say that I think that one line is so applicable now:

GOD HELP AMERICA!!

 

[AppyLover2]

Well said minimor. A couple other sayings come to mind too. Something about casting the first stone....and another about living in glass houses.

 

[Cathy_H]

I just see so much that is going on and wonder why others do not see it??

And that is exactly how we feel why Obama supporters cannot see what HAS GONE ON in his past & why his past does NOT ring an alarming bell! It is not just one or two events - it is more than one & from more than one source - everyone that says something negative about him cannot be wrong - some of the things are true.

Regarding Obama's tax cuts to working families.

James Freeman from Wall Street Journal says Obama's tax plan is nothing but a clever pitch. (Obama's 95% Illusion).

Currently James said that "over fifty million filers now PAY NO taxes or get money back and Obama is expanding that"

So where is Obama going to get his money to do all that he promises?

When Obama said "And I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." that really scared me. How can he NOT see that it's NOT good for everybody?? You may as well remove the word "incentive" from the dictionary because no one will have any once he starts "spreading the wealth". If that is not Socialism, I don't know what is. Life's not fair...deal with it.

Yep, just like all the wealth that has been shared [our tax dollars] with those wealthy bankers and loan companies that now need the hand outs to recover from their bad business practices

Seems like all the money is going to bail out those greedy pigs...oh well, that is so much better than helping the unfortuate person. Share the wealth with the greedy but let the poor low income people stay as they are. Something just doesn't seem right with the way it has been going and far too many just don't seem to get it.

I think if you all remember correctly there were some of us who were against the bail out. The same people who are against the Nobama principal of taking from the haves and giving to those who choose to not work or try to help themselves. Could it have been possible we knew just what would happen or at least suspected it would happen that way. I am still pi**ed off at my representatives who voted for this.

I also remember some of us said the crooks who got us in this mess should be prosecuted to the max and they should have to give back all of the money they got from this. Yes including politicians.

Look at what happened to the ENRON people (who deserved it) this mess is ten times worse, the public should be crying out for some heads to roll as they did then.

It also seems this is the very reason the Dems would NOT just vote it through which they could have, they didn't NEED any votes from the Republicans.

They did not want anyone to be able to say it was their fault we have an even bigger mess. They wanted to claim bipartisanship on this one!

Obama said was that he would cut taxes for 95% of WORKING FAMILIES…not 95% of Americans.

Even though they are working, a large percentage (Fox says 40%, but a source I rely on for client discussions says about 25%) of families do not pay Federal income taxes as their incomes are too low. So to cut taxes on 95% of working families, many of whom don't actually pay taxes, while at the same time raising taxes on the top 5%, who already pay a huge percentage of the total Federal income tax burden, IS wealth redistribution and that IS socialism.

[SIZE=10pt][/SIZE]



Socialism:
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
It's not like there's a gray area to this, folks.

Looking through some of my materials, I can tell you that in 2005, the top 25 percent of taxpayers paid 84 percent of the nation’s federal income taxes.

When you hear “top 25 percent,” you may be thinking that this is a very wealthy group, but that isn’t necessarily the case. If you had a household adjusted gross income (AGI) of $57,343 or more, that placed you in the top 25 percent. $57,000 / year is not a high income family in my neck of the woods. Far from it.

In contrast, those with a household AGI below that amount were responsible for only 16 percent of the overall federal income tax burden.

SO, I think it's clear that this socialistic idea could very, very easily reach on over to people we all would consider very much the middle class...

 

[Jill]

It is off topic, yes. I was hoping you might have something to say about my on topic reply to your post.

OT - but smart man that Colin Powell - on Sunday's Meet The Press
ABOUT MCCAIN - The retired four-star Army General gave a scathing critique of the McCain campaign and the Republican Party, saying he was "disappointed" by the approach the McCain campaign has taken on issues. He also expressed concern with the selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain's vice president. "I don't believe she is ready to be president of the United States," he said.

ABOUT OBAMA - "Because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of this campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities – we have to take that into account – as well as his substance – he has both style and substance – he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president," he said.

Please watch his interview, it was great...

Thanks ML nice to know not all military is against Obama

 

[Minimor]

Please watch his interview, it was great...

Yes, mostly because he said what you want to hear!

If he had praised McCain and said he didn't care for Obama and his policies....I think you'd be considering him a little less smart.
