Its amazing that both sides use devisive tactics. Its the way its been for as long as i can remember. one side acuses the an in the same breath throws a comment in to fuel the fire.

What was he wearing and how much did it cost?

"attack his character."
===

Biden was right. It's so unfair to attack his character since his character is Zero. Zero has zero records of accomplishments that do not benefit himself, has done nothing significant in the Senate (except earmarking a cool $1 mil to reward his wife's employer who give her a warmping 150% salary increase after he was elected to the Honorable Junior Senator), did not even go to work for his day job in the most part of last 2.5 years, wrote zero articles, opinions, editorials as the President of Harvard Law Review, and will do nothing.

Yet, his character is to label his opponents giving big oil taxes credits, yet his opponents voted against Bush's bill and Zero voted for giving these taxes credits.

He lied to his supporters to defend the constitution by voting against and filabuster the bill to allow Bush to spy the citizens, yet when he did not need them any more after he got the Affirmative Action nomination, he voted against it, taking your constitutional rights away.

His character is taking your hard earned money away to "spread wealth around".

He lied to only raise taxes on those making $250K, yet it starts from couples making $110K - not so-good-middle class salary.

He twists his Harvard smart logic accusing his opponent giving taxes cut to the rich because his opponent does not increase taxes, as opposed to his increasing taxes.

He bought his own suit and shoes, and he looked damn good to this republican. Not like the other wanna-be fashion icon. Look fashionable on my donated money for the party.

As a poor republican, I demand a REFUND.

d0....put a sock on your broth. They have more degrees than our side. Sarah Palin took six or seven colleges just to get a what degree? And McCain...beside a POW? I guess we can use that as a degree to run the country.
Biden's not lying about any tax. Tax is a fact of life here. Whether it's a repub. or democ. tax will be raised one way or the other. So shut up and pay your taxes. And that's an order. Hah. Anyway, our Sarah Palin and her family might need more shoes and make-up and clothes for next week.

JOHN MCCAIN attacks health insurance of millions of Americans

What else could you call John McCain's TAX on health insurance benefits? He wants to force employers to DROP the health insurance coverage, which currently covers 70% of Americans!

And then where do we go? Buy your health insurance IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT in the market without the buying power your employer enjoyed.

And what happens if you or a family member gets sick, really sick like cancer? SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR INSURANCE!

When you are buying insurance as an individual, you can only get it SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT SICK! Ever here of "pre-existing conditions? The insurance companies sure have.

And don't even think about going to your state legislature for help. Under John McCain's plan, insurance companies will be regulated in a industry friendly state of their own choosing.

SO GOOD LUCK GETTING HELP FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS WHEN YOUR INSURANCE CO REINCORPORATES THERE!

its kind of ironic that we have a choice- more taxes for this or more taxes for that. i guess youre racist if you dont like social programs that benefit the "needy" and if you are in support of that you are a "socialist". however if you dont want more taxes you are unpatriotic. government doesnt run anything efficiently-medicare, ss, etc.- so where does a person turn to to try to???

My point is government is not the answer

What the heck you are talking about? If government does not create jobs, what do you think Zero has been doing in the past 2.5 years, getting paid at almost $200K for not even showing up.

ABC: "Perhaps due to the weather, Biden delivered an abbreviated 20-minute stump speech"
----------------------------------

Perhaps Big 0 has told Biden to abbreviate his speeches, in order to avoid his ususal gaffes!.... :-)

Joe Biden: "Look, let me say this as clearly as I can: Barack Obama can take two more weeks of these scurrilous attacks, but our country cannot take four more years of this politics and these policies.”
---------------------------------

Look Joe Parrot- our country can NOT take four years of Marxist Obama's politics and policies taken right out of the "Communist Manifesto", you get it, baby?

All you republicans need to get a grip of reality. McCain talked about bombing Iran, talked about annihilating North Korea (while opposing removing them from the axis of evil), said Cuba will be free when he's president. He would even start war with Russia. He's haunted by our loss in Vietnam and wants to make up for it. If McCain becomes president you can expect World War 3, martial law, nevermind keeping the so-called American Dream which is broken anyway because our economy is in $%^&. With all that's at stake, you're worried about your taxes? SERIOUSLY?

Obama and Marx: A crash course

Published: Sunday, October 19, 2008 3:00 AM CDT

"A spectre is haunting Europe -- the spectre of Communism."

With those words, Karl Marx launched a revolution with "The Communist Manifesto." Interestingly, the opening of his essay, cowritten with Friedrich Engels, begins with the assertion that the European powers are using the "branding reproach of Communism" to label their opponents. Marx then says, "It is high time the communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the spectre of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself."

If Marx were alive today and living in San Francisco, perhaps he would have instead written this: "A spectre is haunting Democratic politics -- the spectre of socialism." Certainly, the "branding reproach of socialism" is now publicly acknowledged to have been used against the Democratic Party, and against its standard bearer, Barack Obama. It is high time for Obama and his allies to publicly assert their political and economic philosophy. If it is socialism, say so. If it is not, please explain why.

This, of course, is made immediately relevant by Obama's famous comment to Joe the Plumber that, "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." In particular he was talking about his tax plan, which is a plan for redistribution of wealth from top to bottom.

This is a matter of fact. When Obama tells you that his tax plan will benefit 95 percent of taxpayers, he is misstating the truth. The fact is that 30 to 40 percent of Americans, the poorest among us, already don't pay any taxes. But what Obama's plan will do is allow them to sign up for a variety of tax credits, so the government will send them a check for a couple thousand dollars or more every year. Where does the money come from to make those payments? From Americans who do pay taxes. It literally is redistribution of wealth. Instead of using taxes to pay for the necessities of infrastructure and defense that they were intended for, the government as envisioned by Obama will be "spreading the wealth around."

The question is whether Americans care. And if they don't, why not?

Ask yourself, why did we spend 50 years after World War II fighting a Cold War to eliminate communism if we actually believe in it? Is this nation actually prepared to admit we were wrong, and Karl Marx was right? Marx's credo, "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need," has a nice ring. It can easily be seen as an institutionalized form of Christian charity -- providing for the less able, or the less advantaged. But look at the results of communism and socialism in Europe, and you will quickly conclude that any philosophical niceties are vastly outweighed by the political realities.

When you look at Marx's list of goals for communism in chapter two of "The Communist Manifesto"
www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm ,
you can see that socialism has already made great advances in the United States. But in particular pay attention to No. 2 -- "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."

In this regard, Obama has outdone Marx himself. A progressive tax just puts a greater share of the burden on the rich. We already have long since had such a tax. But now Obama wants to find a way to hand out money to the poor. Is it any wonder that he is ahead in the polls?

As Ben Franklin reputedly said, "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

Obama's plan CUTS TAXES on people making under $200k a year. I don't know where you people get your figures from. First you said $40k a year, now it's $110k. You just like to distort the facts, and say that Obama lies while you know absolutely nothing. Keep listening to McWAR aka McLIAR, aka McBUSH. McCain is worse than Bush can ever possibly be. If he gets in office, our country will be further in recession, in multiple wars with different countries, the world will hate us even more (therefore further reducing our security), and if anything happens to him you will have the most unqualified person in office in history, so you can pretty much kiss our beloved nation goodbye. Keep picking on Obama-Biden while ignoring all the things wrong (pretty much everything) about a McCain-Palin administration.

Natasha,
If you want to keep giving the big tax breaks to the rich, who not only get that gravy but also either suck the life out of their employees or move their companies somewhere overseas where they can get cheap labor, then McCain is your man. He is the candidate of "I've got mine and the hell with everyone else"! Same as Bush.

$250,000 is an arbitrary number that can and will change. when he finds out that number wont cover what he needs to spend, it will be reduced to whatever number he decides at that point. Dont worry though, McCain will most likely do the same

"If McCain becomes president you can expect World War 3 blah blah blah..."

Mickey Mouse- If McCain becomes President and Russia deared to mess with us or any of our allies our country - NATO vs Russia - will win Russia and declare VICTORY in 3 days!

God Bless America!... Even the Baltic States want to be called the "United States of Baltics" (watch the video.

It appears to me that our allies are more patriotic - pro-America - than some Democrats and That One!

America is sick of hearing about your "obama=socialist" lies. Most people know that they will benefit and the economy will benefit under Obama's tax and health care plans. Your arguments for Obama being a socialist are false. You would say that any democrat is a socialist because they believe the government should actually help people in need. People are sick of hearing about how it helps everybody if wealth "trickles down". Sick of hearing about how private insurance helps the industry and therefore somehow helps the patients. The middle class needs help and they are not getting it with the Republican agenda. The economy is suffering, we are in 2 wars and the people that attacked this country are still at large. REPUBLICANS HAVE FAILED. TIME FOR CHANGE!
