What's there to discuss?
The race is already decided. Obama will win. It never mattered what McCain stood for, as much as what he stood against. He was unable to distance himself enough from Bush and his policies. McCain is seen simply too much like Bush. And nobody wants at least another 4 years of Bush's policies. Think about it, in the chronicles of history the Bush administration will forever be associated with the following: the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, failures to care properly for those Soldier injured in those wars, the Patriot Act, Hurricane Katrina (the arguably greatest natural disaster in American history), Sept. 11th, A gas hike from $1.25 to $4.00 a gallon, an economic disaster, distancing itself from every other Western nation, lying and cheating the American people, a widening gap between rich and poor (the middle class is disappearing). Face it, there's a huge demographic shift going on in this country now and A LOT of things have happened since 2000 that have shaped young people's minds. Young people that would have graduated college and would now be old enough to start making babies, starting families, you know, become established. I don't know any of them that are saying 2008 is exactly the way I imagined it to be. Who's in the mood for more of the last 8 years? Not me. And not anybody I know either. |

How about citing some sources for some of those accusations instead of this liberal diarrhea of the mouth. Any idiot can cut and paste. Discuss.

I could post 100 reasons why Barrack Hussein Obama sucks, except my reasons would be based on facts.

How about you name some real accomplishments for Obama? My previous challenge in another thread has gone unanswered, except for some BS Illinois senate laws or resolutions. What has he done for this country?

INCOME TAX Overall Strategy OBAMA: progressive taxation, tax poor/middle classes less and upper class more, stop wasting billions in Iraq MCCAIN: flat taxation - leave tax cuts for upper class, then eventually move towards taxing all taxpayers at same rate, keep wasting billions in Iraq Drac: Progressive taxation is simply more reasonable than flat taxation. Obama's plan will generate more tax revenue and support a more equitable distribution of wealth. McCain's revenue reducing tax policy contrasts with his promise to stay in Iraq as long as he's willing to produce intelligence which states there are a few people running around Iraq calling themselves al Qaeda. How can he reconcile these dogmatic approaches? Obamas plan just makes more sense (not that it is the perfect plan, just that it's better than McCains which isnt saying much at all). Specifics: under $75k OBAMA: cut taxes MCAIN: same Drac: cutting taxes for those who's taxes represent the highest % of disposable income currently makes better sense than not doing so. Positively effects millions of lives while not costing the gov't much revenue. $75k-$250k OBAMA: same MCCAIN: same Drac: candidates agree $250k+ OBAMA: raise by 3% MCCAIN: same Drac: raising more tax revenue by raising the tax rate on the wealthiest 1% of americans by 3% is a good idea. SENIOR CITIZENS <$50k OBAMA: eliminate taxes MCCAIN: same Drac: Drac: eliminating taxes for the elderly frees up their money and takes financial burden from families who have to support their aging relatives. PAYROLL TAX OBAMA: eliminate cap for those making over $250k per year, provide $500/$1000 credits to reduce payroll tax liability MCCAIN: same Drac: raising the cap will have negative consequences on the people making over $250k (about 1% of workers), but it will increase tax revenue. this is necessary to provide the tax credits to effectively lower payroll tax liability of most americans. CAPITAL GAINS TAX OBAMA: 20% MCCAIN: 15% Drac: We are currently on the left side of the laffer curve, and studies show raising capital gains tax to 20% would increase revenue without discouraging investment. Ignoring this is a bad idea, especially given McCain's desire to continue wasteful spending while siumultaneosly reducing tax revenue, particularly the wasteful Iraq war he seeks to prolong indefinitely. By raising the tax back to 20% some studies estimate that an additional $100 billion in revenue could be generated for the federal government without reducing investment. SPENDING CUTS While Obama and McCain both propose their fair share of spending cuts, and Obama has more spending planned than McCain domestically, these facts are overshadowed because McCain wants to continue spending billions on the Iraq war and wishes to increase military spending to continue expanding the war on terror. As far as offering a balanced approach to budgeting Obama is clearly the more desirable candidate. |

How about BHO's plans to raise Capital Gains taxes? And Corporate taxes?
Who do you think creates jobs? If I were a corporation, I would outsource jobs overseas and incorporate my company in Bermuda to avoid those higher taxes. His plans are going to cost jobs.

Corporations are outsourcing domestic jobs mainly because of unions and labor laws. Unions are one of the main reasons why domestic automakers are having a hard time, there have been countless White House meetings about this. It would be far from cost effective to outsource just to avoid slightly higher taxes.

Yeah I don't even care for Obama.
The only reason I defend him is because I can't stand McCain, I cringe when I imagine that man as the head of a country. Thanks for posting the list soreballz. |

So since none of us seem to like either one of these guys why vote for either? I honestly don't know how they got so popular in the first place but its pathetic how we say "I'm voting for this one because i can't stand the other" Vote for a third party or something but don't help either one if you don't like them. I can't wait til this bullshit is over. politics

The Republican and Democratic Parties are like two huge corporations that are so equally rich and powerful that they can never win clear dominance over one another. But they are brutally quick and efficient to erradicate, or in rare cases reduce to political insignificance, any independent or third party political movements that vie to reduce their market share: YOU! It's not that there aren't better candidates out there. It's that they can't consistently manage to grapple enough of the market share away from the two big parties to stay alive. The winner-take-all system found in the American electoral system isn't conducive towards creating a mult-party Congress like you'd find in many other democratic countries. Until another political party can consistently receive 30% in elections nothing will change and you'll continue to see more or less only Democratic or Republican politicians in office. The inevitable consequence of this process is the further ingraining of traditional party values and platforms in the American political process -no matter how out of touch with reality- and the stifling of intelligent political discourse. |

Don't forget to say "Barack Hussein Obama," just the way McCain taught you to, then stand behind the fact that once his sheep were afraid, the way BUSH taught them to be, took the high road of "repudiating" anyone who does so.
Don't let that stop you. McCain and Palin will join you by talking about "palling around with terrorists," ignoring that McCain has "palled around" with terrorists of his own and Palin's own husband was a member of a group who tried to secede. Keep saying "Barack Hussein Obama" so people that won't care enough to look for more information will think that he is an Arab, which John McCain suggested makes him NOT a "decent, family man." Do what you must to keep him out of office, you must continue to protect the right of the uber rich to continue to fuck those who must live without. Gentlemen, that is colloquially known as "throwing rocks and hiding your hands." As a child, when caught doing shit like this, my parents BEAT MY ASS... I know better than to do this shit now. The asswhooping this time comes in the form of a vote against of a McCain/Palin presidency. Personally, as high profile GOP people (not shit talkers on the internet who believe every morsel of bullshit fed to them in stump speeches) continue to bail on McCain, largely BECAUSE of Palin, I am looking for GWB to try something drastic, like stupidly bombing another country or something like that. However, with W's fleeting popularity, the best thing he could do for a McCaint victory is to support Obama.

Sorry dude, it's hard to take you seriously when you have that ridiculous sig. Looks like someone's been duped by Rethuglican talking points. It's the McCarthy/Red Scare era all over again.

Losing your own party's primary is a step AGAINST that. Inability to maintain a profile high enough to compete against the big dogs is the next.
