Wanna bet?
What'll change big-time is your taxes.
Bet on it...

Well, I'm not happy and damn pissed off about that, and yes, I agree with you. But I think the republicans need to be spanked into reality now, and as you now, my last registered status was as a republican.

Milkman

I used to vote GOP, mostly, but not always. But in 1996, I started voting Libertarian after Bob Dole ran on the ticket.

Cut taxes, increase deficits, and then he would look for places to cut, later.

He didn't dare talk about cutting Social Security and Medicare.

As for taxes, I think taxes will be going up, no matter who wins, be it, McCain, Hillary, or Obama.

How much they will go up, will vary depending on the candidate, IMO.


Folks, taxes will be going up soon, as the first Baby Boomer started collectin S.S. on January 1, 2008.

Medicare is 5 times worse than S.S.

The money will have to be collected somewhere and somehow, be it payroll, SS, or some VAT like system.

That's cool but let's name one accomplishment Obama has wrought shall we?

lom

Spanking is too mild. Beat the shit out of them!

Milkman

His voting record is what you can go by. Even though voting records often involve compromise.

McCain's accomplishments?

Being a Senator, just like Obama, albeit it, longer.

BobbyTits

Well McCain is a bona fide war hero because his dumb ass got shot down and captured then spent a bunch of years learning to speak gook the hard way.

Boon Mee

And, a war 'hero'.
Don't forget that. It wins elections...

Milkman

I don't consider McCain a war hero, nor hero at all.

He was bombing North 'Nam and got shot down. He was doing a job. He got caught.

The Psychiatric reports are public and the the Shrink considered McCain to want to impress, emulate, and do things like his dad and grandpa, who were both Admirals in the Navy.

And Booners is right on one thing: there are people dumb enough to vote for someone because they falsely believe they are a "war hero."

sabang

Disagree. Kerry? Against a draft dodger?

Milkman

Kerry was just as much of a fraud as GWB during Vietnam.

GWB dodged the draft; Kerry awarded himself 2 purple hearts on the same day.

He was "walking wounded."

Kerry didn't deserve to be "swiftboated," and the fact that 'Nam is even discussed is ridiculous, as the Americans left over 30+ years ago.

Stupid, really.

Jet Gorgon

I can see the 666 on his forehead.

Boon Mee

Kerry was is no stretch of the imagination a 'hero'.
Scuttled out of VN as soon as he could whereas McCain was sorta 'tied up' as it were?

M/M...let's see how you would do after >5 years in the Hanoi Hilton, eh?

Oh I know, he suffered in the Hanoi Hilton. Many beatings. It wasn't no picnic.

Good. Back to reality. Obama fought in no war, and that is not to his detriment.

blackgang

^ No I guess it ain't but this is...

Did you know the average male is 6 inches long, and the average female is 8 inches deep? So in New York City alone there is over 3 miles of unused pussy!

^ And this pic is going to cause a further backlash and loss of support for Hillary Clinton and her campaign.

All politicians do things like this when they visit a foreign nation. Even Bill Clinton wore Scottish Kilts and other ceremonial garments when he visited foreign heads of state and attended cultural shows, as a visiting politician/rep/head of state.

I think this just shows how bad Hillary is. I don't like her. She's scum, IMO.

Obama is pounding now, in national polls.

blackgang

Yea, but he wasn't a head of state, jusy a measley state senator and he was down there to visit relatives.
And nat. slick willy would wear a skirt if he thought he might pick up some head and not have to unzip his pants.
I hope it does cut him back some, Hilderbeast have a harder time beating McCain that the muslim will.

Jet Gorgon

^^ Yep, MM. She's really losing it these days -- cannot keep an even keel and all that dirt on her inability to control spending. Obama uses her foibles and just keeps going smooth, steady and logical. Who you gonna trust? If (gods forbid) any attack is made again on US soil, do you want a freakoutmonger or solid at a rock in the WH? It's a pity Ob ain't GOP.

I really laughed today. Im my local community paper, a full page was devoted to Hilde after several Vancouver locals went to Seattle for her rally. One of our MLAs was there and she was quoted as gushing, "I even touched the edge of Hillary's pantsuit." It's days like this that I wish I was anything but Canadian.

Milkman

BG, he's not a Muslim. I'm serious. That is all a lie by people who are afraid of him.
