Can't agree with you there - lower taxes increase small business productivity. More money in folks pockets as disposable income means greater GNP.

As far as I can see Republicans made a mess of the USA, I do not know if the Democrats will do better if they win, but meaby the game is worth the candle.

Yeah but those wars aren't going to pay for themselves. Lower the tax and stimulate the econoy sure, but then lower taxes also mean less revenue to pay for the costs of Afhganistan/Iraq. Viscous circle.

Back to Obamarama and his Naftagate issue. He seems to be stuck with his story and is sticking to it. If this is any sign of how he can handle crisis, wrong man for the job.

Wait until Social Security and Medicare costs go up.

Even small businesses will get hit with it.

This budget by GWB has a 400+ billion dollar deficit.

Had a good laugh today. One of our analysts was ranting about the blockheads running for president.
"You're not a demo, are you, Jettie?"
"Nope, I like to work for a living," I replied.

Here's the latest from Barack's e-mail missives:

Jettie,
It's tough to think of two states more different than Wyoming and Mississippi.
But we won Wyoming on Saturday, and we just learned that we won Mississippi by a large margin tonight.
Between those two states, we picked up enough delegates to erase the gains by Senator Clinton last Tuesday and add to our substantial lead in earned delegates. And in doing so we showed the strength and breadth of this movement.
But just turn on the news and you'll see that Senator Clinton continues to run an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day her campaign launches a new set of desperate attacks.
They're not just attacking me; they're attacking you.
Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the overwhelming number of contests we've won by referring to places we've prevailed as "boutique" states and our supporters as the "latte-sipping crowd."
I'm not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming -- or Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.
I know that our victories in all of these states demonstrate a rejection of this kind of petty, divisive campaigning.
But the fact remains that Senator Clinton's campaign will continue to attack us using the same old Washington playbook. And now that John McCain is the Republican nominee, we are forced to campaign on two fronts.
It's up to you to fight back. Please make a donation of $25 today:

Thank you,
Barack

OK, you're welcome I guess. Do I get a free pizza?

No but for a short time only, if you buy one you'll get one free.
All in all, the email looks to be pretty sensible.

^ You're full of it, ain't ya, Ray? It's a pity your hols have not calmed you down, little man. I bet a vein pops out on your forehead when you get so worked up over these "issues". Reaching the male menopause years, I guess. Can't see the forest for the trees, either.

I like these emails coz I can share them all with you. I never subscribed nor did I say I did not want them; I just said something like I was surprised to start getting them. I'll let you waste your time digging up the post.
