if you are wondering what i'm about, the banner on top of the site keeps rotating. one of the rotations says "Tyson, Eric and Xianti endorse Obama. Obama '08" if i was a yankee and could vote, obama would get mine. mccain is an old and angry fart with military delusions, hillary a lying/exaggerating and conniving bitch, and obama the guy with the weird racist pastor and a propensity to say "um.." during speeches. i'd take the big o every day |

I also have a friend who, I know not to be racist. I mean he is one of my best friends, but he feels its wrong to have anyone who is not a middle aged white guy in office. I think that's a ridiculous reason. I also think it's hilarious because of how stupid a comment it is. Anyway, I won't say who I'm voting for. Suffice it to say, none of the candidates share close to most of my ideals and morals. That's just me though. |

Try to solve the riddle without looking at the answer at the bottom. I almost got fired from my job because I sent this in an e-mail. ** ** Okay, so I didn't almost get fired, but my principal said, "Are you a fucking idiot? Why would you send something like this out over school e-mail?" (I sent this to a bunch of male coaches in our school and accidentally sent it to a woman who didn't think the joke was funny, lol)

i got this email yesterday at work from a democrat nonetheless. its kind of long. Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election: CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 28% CLINTON 24% How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income. DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% CLINTON 39.6% How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton become president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.' INCOME TAX MCCAIN (no changes) Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250 OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 CLINTON (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward. INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA keep the inheritance tax CLINTON keep the inheritance tax How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes. NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA * New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet * New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) * New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) * New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least.... * New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!! Can you afford Clinton or Obama? I can't!!!!! (in case you want more information on Obama's tax and spend agenda: If Sen.

there seem to be a few inconsistencies in there, especially regarding taxes on lower income individuals. Eg. OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 then it says: [Obama's] proposed tax cuts and credits, aimed at workers earning $50,000 or less per year, would cost the Treasury an estimated $85 billion annually.' kind of seems as though it will be one or the other. Also, most of the discussions that I have heard regarding inheritance taxes exempt farms, etc. also consider the costs of the current programs that some of these will be replacing. for example, this is a paper discussing what the estimated costs of the NCLB legislation would be if fully implemented and properly funded: Public spending on K-12 education was $422.7 billion in 2001-02. If we use a broad -- yet easily justified and extremely conservative -- estimate of 20% added costs for the nation as a whole, that translates into a national increase of about $84.5 billion. An estimate of 35% additional costs yields a national increase of $148 billion. as for the energy plan, the transition to new energy sources is a necessary one, and the quicker this occurs, the better for the nation as a whole. It could be argued that the Obama plan does not go far enough in investing in this necessary and important area. I don't think anyone would argue that there is not a need for some sort of international control over nuclear fuel, and a desperate need for an update and strengthening of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, especially considering one of the big slogans heading into Iraq involved fear mongering over nuclear weapons in the hands of a brutal dictator. 50 million seems like a pretty small price to pay to avoid that. |

while i dont want to stir political fires, i just cant resist. i really dont see hillary dropping out after this. this was recorded from a guy in a san francisco, i guess in some fundraiser with a small group of wealthy left wingers. this after going through pennsylvania, ohio and other blue collar states talking about how he is against NAFTA, and hes for the working class, etc. Quote:

What's his stance on Online Gambling? If he's said anything very publicly about it I understand this. Otherwise I think it's silly for FTR to endorce him. As for all that other crap, whatever candiates say about fiscal/tax policy is total crap. We're not a monarchy and they're not bound to any of it anyway. Remember Bush running on small government and less active forign policy. Under Bush government has expanded even further, become even more authoritarian, we've got ourselves into a 1 trillion dollar war and gas is over $3 a gallon. |

BTW: My short list of how to unfuck this country. o Legalize Marijuana o Decriminalize all other drug use. Reduce sentences, cut most funding for enforcement. o Worry less about drugs comming accross the border and more about nukes, biologicals, etc. o Pardons, probations, etc. for non-violent drug offenders currently in prison. This would be a massive cut of federal spending and injection of fresh labor into the economy. o Stop screwing around with biofuels that are doing more harm than good. o Invest in nuclear/wind/hydro/solar/etc. power o Tax the shit out of gas for non-commercial use LDO o Amnesty for illegal immigrants. o Guest worker program for unskilled labor with no quota/cap (harsh enforcment + penalties for those who don't comply) o Unlimited immigration for skilled labor and their immediate family. America has been made great by people born elsewhere who shared our vision. We're only stronger when the best and brightest in the world come here to do great things then stay. Oh yeah, for what it's worth, I'm about as WASP as you can get, smoked pot once and wasn't impressed. |

So he's disrespecting blue collar America by saying that people from small towns with high unemployment are mostly religious, anti-immigrant, anti-free trade gun owners? Obama knows more about the plight of poor and working-class people than almost any presidential candidate in recent memory. He was raised by a single mother without much money, he lived for several years of adolescence in a developing country (Indonesia) and he worked for several years after college in poor communities in Chicago. If you read his book, Dreams From My Father I think you'll agree that Obama has the desire and potential to do more for poor and working-class America than any president since WWII. |

ya, will youre jumping to some pretty elaborate conclusions. I can see how the people he was talking about might take offense, however Im confused why you are taking offense. His statement is spot on and makes perfect sense. The truth hurts sometimes, but I dont see why you think this is some hidden dark side (lol) of obama that we are just now seeing. How I read what he said is that the elite has played on their fears feeding them pro-gun, pro-christianity and anti-immigration propaganda to keep their frustrations channeled towards anything but the elite. Like I said, I can see how someone could take this the wrong way, and this could hurt obama, but I think your analysis is horribly off. |

the problem is he implies that 2nd amendment rights and religion wouldnt be an issue if there werent hard ships. that is fucking retarded, and if you cant see that, well idk what else to say. and also, they are anti-ILLEGAL immigration, but that detail seemed to have slipped his mind. and boost, i am from a small town, so that might be why im taking offense. im also taking offense because im sick of hearing how great mr. unity is, and this shit keeps coming out about him. he is an elitist, he is not about hope and unity, he is a hypocrite. |
