Rudy Goes to Church

Just Vote Democrat and Save The World :)

If I were in the Mayor's position, I guess I'd also profess a firm belief in God and I'd be praying as hard as I could, too! Although, on second thought, maybe he was praying for fashion guidance and sartorial restraint for overwrought Katherine Harris.

Taken from "The America Thinker":

The five issues that I consider most important for determining who our next president should be: the war on terror, immigration, the economy, health care reform, and Supreme Court appointments.

On the war on terror, Giuliani is the best candidate; McCain is a distant second.

On immigration, Giuliani is the best candidate; Romney is a close second.

On the economy, Giuliani and Romney are equally strong; McCain is a distant third.

On health care reform, Giuliani is the best candidate; Romney is a distant second.

On Supreme Court appointments, all three candidates are equally strong.

In sum, Rudy Giuliani is the best choice among the three leading GOP candidates. He is not a "perfect" choice. His liberal social views and his messy personal life are hardly what we would like to see in a Republican president. Nevertheless, on the issues that matter most, he offers the most conservative policies and the most effective leadership.

Rudy Giuliani should be the GOP nominee for 2008.

I WILL look up the entire proposal for the Fair Tax. I hope it covers in detail the ramifications of funding FICA through a portion of the sales tax. Specifically how an individual's benefits are determined if the Social Security Administration does not know how much money the individual has actually paid into the system. While the employer's portion paid is recorded, there would be no record of what the individual paid. I surely hope the passage of the Fair Tax is not inextricably tied to overhauling the Social Security Act.

Actually, Giuliani has only been divorced once. His first marriage ended in an annulment. And the Catholic Church doesn't "frown" on divorce. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, Giuliani is still married to his second wife. The fact that he's deserted her to live with another woman doesn't change that fact. In the old days, the Catholic Church excommunicated people like Giuliani. According to Catholic theology, Giuliani will be damned to Hell unless he returns to his "real" wife.

GC, I stand corrected. I had not READ the entire proposal. I only went by what Mike Huckabee STATED in one of the debates where he said, "Funding for Social Security and Medicare would remain the same." Thanks for pointing this out!

Incidentally, while I strongly support the Fair Tax, I oppose the idea of sending rebate checks to everyone. Instead, I support Alan Keyes' idea of opening up tax-free stores. These stores will carry generic brands of everything anyone would need: Food, clothing, personal items, applicances and even inexpensive hybrid cars or electric cars. Sending rebate checks is extremely costly, and still keeps your name and address on the federal government databases.

james danley: Evidently you haven't taken the time to read the Fair Tax Act. Let me quote from the plain English summary of the tax bill. "Funding for social security and medicare remains the same. The social security and medicare trust funds receive the same amount of money as they do under the current law. The source of the trust fund revenue is a DEDICATED PORTION of SALES TAX revenue INSTEAD of payroll tax." Please read the bill and try to understand it rather than misquoting. This is very important legislation that needs to be debated and passed.

Giant Robot, one minor correction to your comment. Even under the Fair Tax you will still have FICA (Social Security, 6.2%; Medicare, 1.45%) withheld from your paycheck.

Alert *** Alert *** Alert ***

McCain, Romney, Thompson, Guiliani, Paul = 2 years
Huckabee = Only 3 weeks

That's how long it would take you to save up for a brand new 60^ LCD / Plasma Flat Screen TV with reclining chair and large cup holder for your nice cold beverage if they were President.

Huckabee is the ONLY one willing to scrap the IRS red tape and switch to the Fair tax. The Fair tax allows you to keep 100% of your paycheck, not 70% you keep of it now. If you make say $75,000 year then your paycheck rises by $325 per week and in ONLY 3 weeks you can buy that awesome 60" LCD / Plasma TV to watch your favorite TV shows (Super Bowl, World Series, World Championship, Indianpolis 500, Olympics, etc...)

If you do not mind flushing an extra $325 every week down the toliet, then go ahead and vote for McCain, Romney, Thompson, Guiliani and Paul want to keep the current tax system. That gives them far less pressure to be try to run a lean government.

The Fair Tax can ONLY happen if you and your friends and family vote for Huckabee. He is the ONLY presidentail candidate commiting to this for the American people. Would you rather flush $325 every week down the toliet or would you rather save that up in ONLY 3 weeks and get that brand new 60" LCD / Plasma high definition TV with recliner and cup holder! :)

Vote for McCain, Romney, Thompson, Guiliani and Paul if you want to become Poorer.

VOTE FOR HUCKABEE if you want to become Richer!!!

We each seem to have our own major issue(s) that make their choice for President seem like the best one. My question is: Would someone tell me why we should NOT elect Ron Paul?

The rest, with Richardson out and Kucinich low in the polls, seem to be talking crazy talk about our military adventures in the Middle East. Additionally, no one else seems to understand the problems with the economy, inflation, and out of control deficit spending. Inflation is going to eat us alive, as it has already started to do so. Do you really believe that the REAL inflation rate last year, the rate that was used by the government for Social Security check increases this month, was 2.3%? Just look at the price of gold up 30% in 2007, now at an all time high and getting higher!

One can not talk about tax cuts without ALSO talking about cutting spending. We have a $9 trillion debt (double since 2000) that must be paid so we can afford Social Security and Medicare. The interest payments will go sky high when we begin to fight inflation with higher Federal Reserve bank rates.

And we must stop inflation or everyone's life savings will go down the tubes, along with the middle class, like what has happened to the middle class in most countries south of our border. And do not forget National Health Insurance, which is coming down the tracks right at us, unless Republicans begin to understand the seriousness of runaway deficits and inflation. And start educating the country. A Democratic President will surely not fight inflation like Volcker and Reagan did!

Please vote Ron Paul and save the country from bankruptcy abroad and at home!
