Pdog what Barack is planning is going to economically sink this country IMO, and you'd better damned well know that I will point to the crazy insane success of Ireland as proof that lower taxes, be they corporate taxes, federal income taxes, payroll taxes, capitol gains taxes, and on ,and on have always, ALWAYS, been good for an economy. And that cutting government spending goes hand in hand with those lower taxes. Barack is going to chase so many jobs out of this country it's gonna make our heads spin! Listen to any economist talk about this subject. They are all looking at an Obama presidency with abject fear. Perhaps they are smart enough to learn from history. Obama is a protectionist and a tax raiser. That spells disaster. The last time his policies were put into practice Herbert Hoover was president. That went well, huh?

Thought provoking? You want though provoking? You have a funny way of showing it. I can't believe that you have given any thought at all to the tax and spending plan i.e.,- "spreading the wealth", of Chairman Barack. If you have given it some thought then perhaps you can tell me why you feel that he has the right ideas. I have repeatedly given cogent, and well thought out reasons for why I feel he doesn't. You just don't seem to like the way I look at things.

Our income is 5 times yours, and by next year, we may double it. I'm not tripping on my taxes under Obama. I have been worried about the spending without taxes under Bush!
Ireland is a country that at one time had a big problem with terrorism... no muslims either! England didn't invade Norway to stop it either!
If you need a line on tee shirts, that have a pic of Barrack, that say "not my president" I can get you volume discounts.

Thanks for the advice, however, I'm not one bit confused.

I think this vote will be 3-4% closer than polls indicate. My hunch is McCain blew it with the Palin pick otherwise we'd be dead even with less than a week to go..............

One of Nelly's friends speaks out:

Aerosmith has generally left the politics to bands like U2 and the Dixie Chicks, but axeman Joe Perry says national security and economic woes have prompted him to split from the rest of the entertainment world and throw his support behind John McCain.

“We pretty much stay out of it, but seeing so many people come out for Obama, I just felt like ‘What the hell, I might as well raise my hand for this side,” Perry said from his Duxbury home.

The Bay State rockers have done a few fund-raisers for the Kennedy family over the years, but Perry’s endorsement of McCain marks a first for the platinum-selling guitarist/songwriter. A lifelong Republican, he said he was inspired to come forward because of ringing McCain endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I’ve been a hardcore Republican my whole life,” he told the Herald. “My mother and father drilled into me from the very start that if you work hard and be positive, you’ll get what you’re working for. I guess I’m living proof of that.”

Of criticism about McCain’s age, Perry said: “My mother’s in her 80s and she does aerobics. My manager’s 70 and he’s right there. That doesn’t bother me.”

And despite lopsided polls, he urged his fans to get out and vote.

“I’m an optimist. It ain’t over till its over,” he said. “I think that he’s got a chance.”

Of the rocker’s endorsement, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said: “Joe Perry is an icon of rock-and-roll and a great American. John McCain absolutely appreciates his support.”

You threw your hat in too late, Baby!

How about you come around and pick up the pieces next time around?

This country needs a good Dr. Wong examination.....

IQs don't mean shit for the most part. It's got nothing to do with insight or morality. I suspect that Mohandas Gandhi and Smedley Butler had  high IQs, but who the fuck listens to them. Anyway I suspect most Stones fans here are above average.

The first thing I'd do is cut the "defense" budget in half. Saving 400 Billion right there.
