It didn't take more than a couple of postings to expose which side "just vote" is on, did it?
"Just vote", answer the question about ACORN's rigging this election. Your rhetoric about "but someone else at some other time was also rigging an election" has no bearing on ACORN's rigging this election. If you don't understand my question, then go back to take LOGIC 101. Stop pretending to be interested in the democracy process, yet wanting to use others' rigging an election (even if it happened) to justify Obama's rigging an election.

the polls do not reflect the number of people who will not answer the poll for various reasons, these are (mccain supporters).
just vote, baby vote

Nevada 2, hi I am in Las Vegas. Let's make sure to cast our vote for McCain and continue the Red State tradition. I could not imagine how someone as inexperienced and unvetted as Obama should be elected as the leader of the United States or even the World, let alone his Marxism doctrine that should have been burned into historical ashes already.

nancy i agree. see ya at the polls on tuesday pack a lunch and bring a book. lol goodnight for now

Weather is fine for an election here in Florida.. Obama supporters are out in force. Will be out working the voters until the polls close.. conversion rate has been outstanding, and quite easy. Just show them the differences in what each candidate would do for the country and Obama becomes the clear choice. Right tax policy. Right health care plan. Right combination of intelligence and rational thought. Right foreign policy stance. What else could you want in a great leader?
Posted by: FL for Obama | Nov 3, 2008 12:59:39 AM
Nancy - You seem quite proud of yourself.. It's a bit difficult to follow a posted Gallup poll into what you dove into. ACORN is a group of community organizers that assist low-income and disabled people in their community with affordable housing, better schools, healthcare, etc. ACORN has also been involved in the Gulf Coast Recovery.
ACORN pays people to go our and register new voters. Sometimes the people they hire, take advantage of ACORN and sit in a library with a phonebook and just make up names so they can get paid.
1. No one is "rigging" the election.
2. ACORN turns in the forms w/the registrations Flagged that are an issue
3. It is ONLY voter fraud if MICKEY MOUSE actually shows up to vote and gets to vote.
4. The damage has been done to ACORN by the people they hired and the money they are out.
Nice smear job though..

Let Bill Gates and Warren Buffet pay 60%, 70%, even 90% taxes
***
Not even remotely close!
Tom Brokaw interview with Buffet:
Tom: You've talked about in your own office, for example, you pay a much lower tax rate with all of your wealth than, say, a receptionist does.
Warren: That's exactly right, Tom, and I think the only way to do it is with specifics. In our office 15 people cooperated in a survey, out of 18, I didn't make anybody do it. And my total taxes paid, payroll taxes plus income tax, mine came to 17.7 percent. The average for the office was 32.9 percent. There wasn't anybody in the office, from the receptionist on, who paid a lower tax rate. And I have no tax planning, I don't have an accountant, I don't have tax shelters. I just follow what the U.S. Congress tells me to do.
----
As for the other?
----
And to further prove his point, Buffett has challenged .. he's offered a million dollars to charity to any of the Forbes 400 richest people who can show on average that they pay a higher tax rate than their secretaries pay, but so far, he's had no takers.

Isn't it amazing how the Republicans constant battle cry is less taxes, then when a Democrat comes by that will lower your taxes even more, they all start feeling sorry for the wealthy.. save me the crocodile tears.. your hypocritical rhetoric doesn't cut it any more.
Posted by: TaxMan | Nov 3, 2008 1:09:14 AM
TaxMan, ha ha ha ha ha. You are a fr**king idi*t. There is no need to complain that Buffet's or your own taxes are too low. Please go ahead and pay more if you believe your assertion that it is the right thing to do. No need to put out an argument, "save me the crocodile tears.. your hypocritical rhetoric doesn't cut it any more".

Nope, I'm voting Obama. I'd pay more taxes under McCain so the wealthy can pay less.
Although, I would not mind paying more if it meant balancing the budget and reducing our national debt.. something that our generation will leave future generations burdened with for a long, long time.
Posted by: TaxMan | Nov 3, 2008 1:25:42 AM
Tax Man,apparently you haven't heard the news.Biden has said that no one under 150,000 will see a tax hike.But I thought it was 200,000?They are not going to lower anyones taxes.They wil continue to lower their standards of "Wealthy" until everyone is in it.Then they will take the money and give it to illegal immigrants.Who will be able to come and go as they please.I am tired of Obama and Bidens flip flopping,tired of their talk of Change(they want to "change the government" but nobody stops to think that it is the POLICIES that control taxes and such.Not the government itself),and tired of the socialism they want to force on us.

Apparently, you haven't heard.. 250K is the break even point, has been the break even point, and continues to be the break even point. Spin spin spin baby.. it will all be over soon.
Posted by: TaxMan | Nov 3, 2008 2:05:15 AM
Well I wonder,why did biden say that.Hmmmmm,must be a mystery.

Maybe because it's true that anyone making less than $150K would get a tax cut.. just like it's true that anyone making less than $200K would as well. The two are not mutually exclusive, no matter how you would like to believe otherwise.
I know it's a difficult subject for you.. economics require at least a high school education with some math skills. Of course, if you are just trying to be obtuse and find reasons to justify your existance, spin spin spin baby! It will all be over soon.
Posted by: TaxMan | Nov 3, 2008 2:12:26 AM
Well I am so deeply sorry i typed that wrong.Maybe it's the fact that I have a job and do this before I go to bed.Joe said that 150K was wealthy and they would see a tax hike.Next time I will type it so your tiny mind can understand it.And yes it will be over soon,and you will be shocked when the Mickies and Elmers who showed up in the polls don't show up in the booths.

And for your information I got a degree,which trumps kindergarten.

And I could ask you how you justify supporting a Baby Killing,Anti Gun,Pro Gay Marriage,Military Cutting,Tax Raising socialist.But you probably don't justify your support for Barack Hussien Obama.Just follow along like the blind cattle that you are.
Posted by: Obama for Latrine Cleaner '08 | Nov 3, 2008 2:26:23 AM
Regarding tax cuts, Biden said: "It should go to middle-class people, people who are making under $150,000 a year."
Your claim that he said those making $150K were wealthy and would see a tax hike is simply a lie and apparently a deliberate attempt by you or your 'source' to twist the truth.
You-tube has it if you care to visit.. doubt you will though. Spin it how you like, the rest of us know the truth.
**
And I could ask you how you justify supporting a Baby Killing
**
Dont.. and neither does either candidate. If instead, you are simply referring to abortion, then yes, I am pro-choice. I don't think the government should tell a woman what she should or should not do and that it is a matter between herself and her doctor.
**
Anti Gun
**
Nope.. I and Obama fully supports the 2nd amendment (he is a constitutional law expert and has fought his whole life to uphold the constitution). I guess you bought into the NRA lies that they are currently being held liable for.. not surprising.
**
Pro Gay Marriage
**
Good for him.. so is the majority of the country.. homophobic are we?
**
Military Cutting
**
Absolutely! Defense spending is over half our budget. Times have changed.. so must our defense strategy.. in case you missed it, spending billions on fighting 1500 Al-Qaeda members is kind of self defeating, and multiple studies have shown that military force rarely works in ridding ourselves of these pests. We could have had a military ten times the size we did on 9/11 and it wouldn't have stopped those 19 individuals. Maybe you would like to read recent congressional testimony to the Armed Forces Committee in September regarding exactly this subject:
http://www.rand.org/pubs/testimonies/CT314/index.html
**
Tax Raising
**
Yup.. to less than it was under Clinton for those making more than $250K.. It amazes me that people think we can continue on our spending spree without paying for it.. if you support our unprovoked invasion of Iraq, then you should pay for it. If you supported the largest government reorganization since WWII that is costing us $50 billion a year, then you should pay for it (and lets just ignore the fact that it has made things worse, not better).
I actually have a good solution to this.. I think that at the end of a presidents term, if that president raised the national debt, then the amount it was raised should be calculated, and those who voted for that president should have their taxes raised to pay for what they inflicted on the country, while those who didn't vote them into office would continue along with our reduced tax rates.
Might give you pause this election and who you would vote for. The tax policy center estimates that each candidate, when looking at their tax plan, health plan and other spending proposals, has estimated that McCain would raise the national debt by $10.9 trillion over 10 years, while Obama would raise it by $5.4 within the same period. That of course doesn't include McCains answer to the 'pre-existing' condition problem with his health plan, which would tack on an additional $1 trillion. And try to ignore the fact that Obamas health plan would be more efficent, allow more Americans to get coverage (47% of the currently unemployeed compared to 7% at peak under McCain), and would save businesses an estimated $140 billion a year in tax savings.
Obama has a much better chance at closing the gap between spending and revenue generation, particularly since McCain wants to spend more and collect less taxes to pay for it... He will simply continue us down that merry path set forth by Bush, spending us into depression. What a good plan!
As for your degree, good for you.. Depending on where you went to college and if you went for a PhD program, I might have just been one of your professors. Although, you are in the minority, since the more educated are voting Obama for very valid reasons that seem to escape you. Do you by chance have a Journalism degree :)
In the mean time, spin spin spin baby.. it will all be over soon!
Posted by: TaxMan | Nov 3, 2008 3:10:56 AM
Ahhh,but Obama says the middle class is 200K and under(which is lower than what he originaly said)and that everyone above middle class is wealthy and will get a tax increase.So that would mean they lowered who is wealthy AGAIN.And first of all I desrcibe "aborting" a baby as it is being born baby killing.I do not object to it(abortion)if the mothers health is in grave danger.But any complications are normally spotted in the 9MONTHS BEFORE BIRTH!If they are not then it would be malpractice or negligence.There is absolutely no use for PBA,period.He voted for two Gun Bans,I would call that anti gun.If you don't I think you need to go look up the meaning of BAN.No,most americans describe marriage as between a man and a woman.Go look at polls or ask your neighbor.And I am Christian,I do not approve of being gay at all and think that Marriage is between MAN AND WOMAN,plain and simple.As do most americans.Apparently you do not know the size of Chinas military,how bout russias?There are people out there who want us destroyed who are not just an "Orginization".Iran,North Korea,Syria,Venezula,China,Russia and others ring any bells?Therefore cutting the military is a bad Idea.trowing away our nuclear detterant while russia and everyone else build more is suicide.Obama is for it.And if you call invading a dictatorship that had WMDs("Yellow Cake",VX,Mustard Gas and probably old russian nukes)unprovoked(he declared war on us and said he would destroy us multiple times)you are denser than I thought.Bill Clinton said he wouldn't raise taxes too.Also said a lot of stuff about the middle class.And I can say I'm a martian,does that make me one?He can say anything,his record proves he votes for higher taxes.And I would like to see those valid reasons,I don't have PhD and would have known if my Teacher was as dense as you.I certainly hope Obama pays you extra to spew this crap.
