Are you having an erection lasting longer than 4 hours??

I was actually looking for the sides, as it was a question asked in another thread and I recalled reading something about an arterial bleed occurring in the eye in rare cases of Cialis use.

1. Ridiculous.

2. 98% of small businesses make profits under 250K.

3. I am interested in which policy you are referring to. I'm not saying you are wrong on this one, but I have not heard it before.

BULLSHIT

Im glad you idiots who dont have a clue what makes the business world work, are going to help destroy it. I am a small business owner. You are trying to take food from my family's mouth with your arrogant, "I want my team to win at all costs" assumptions.



oh, and yes, Obama is a Socialist, deal with it. I dont feel like giving my money to whomever needs their vote bought.

Ask anything...just not those tough questions.

What candidates say is always doublespeak. The litmus test is a candidates voting record. That someone could decide who to support last minute is a testament to how alike the candidates truly are.

Congrats on being the less than 5-8% of small businesses the actually profit (after expenditures) that would be affected...

You make the number of people hurt by the Obama tax increases sound insignificant. He wants to pull more money out of the ecomony and into govmt. It's going to cost jobs.

Very good post by someone who knows how small business works.

I've seen the tax tables for the industry my parents are in and the cost burdon they will bear dependant on who wins the election. The costs are substantially higher for Obama's tax plan. They've already cut their workforce to match the economic downturn. When businesses are enjoying profits, they hire more people.

Everyone that is shitting bricks on Taxes listen up. We live in a country full of Freedom, yes Freedom. You can accomplish anything you want if you push hard and work you're ass off. A place where you can walk on the street calm and feel secure. This is a small price to pay for what we have. Another thing, where in a huge defecit and someone has to pay that shit off, so I guess who ever makes more pays more right?

People steal shit when they're unemployed.

Obama has no interest in the deficit, he wants more money to spend more money.

And no people who have more shouldn't always have to pay more, but should pay their fair share. People should be paid their going rate. Look at the automotive industry for example. The unions negotiated heath care, pensions, and all kinds of stuff with the American car companies when they were doing well. Fast forward 20 years, the companies from Japan hire people for the same work at $12 dollars an hour that the American companies are paying $30 for. How can our workforce be competitive in a global market if the real cost is so high? We as a nation can't afford to give everybody everything. The guy working at McDondals should get heathcare, schools for his kids, food stamps, housing assistance. What are we really paying him to flip burgers as a nation?

[firmechicano831]

I live in North CA, right on the beach. I guess since houses are so expensive here you can't have any fuc..k ups buying houses around here. LOL But overall you feel more secure living in the U.S. Go to Mexico and feel the difference, you can't even count on the cops down there. You have to watch you're back on them too.

Funny Story I was sent:

[I was talking to a friend of mine's little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give houses to all the homeless people."
"Wow - what a worthy goal." I told her, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.
"Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds 'cause she's only 6. And while her Mom glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her folks still aren't talking to me.]

LOL, I like that story Verademilo.

Why, considering Oprah and Powell are on completely opposite ends of the political spectrum. Oh, I know, its because they're black and so is Obama. right? God forbid any black American that's voting for Obama is voting for him for any other reason than his race, because we all know there aren't any informed blacks and we are all voting for the man SOLELY because of his race...w/e!

im not sure if your being sarcastice or not, but if you are sacastic i totally agree with you cause thats how alot of people think, if your being seriouse and those are your thoughts eat shit and die.. lol

i really dont know where people come with thiis stuff, i heard so much crap about oboma thats not true. i think poeple hear stuff on the streets and repeat it to other people, if you watched the debate you would know that this statement is false..
personally mccain and bush has alot of the same policies for me and i see how the ecconomy is crap already. has anyone checked the exchange rae for us money in a while.

I don't know where people like you come up with things like thinking one man can make or break an economy. Take a 5th grade Social Studies class and you might learn that we have 3 different branches of govt. The Legislative Branch makes the laws/policies. That would be House/Senate...currently controlled by Demo'n'crats. One man did not sink the economy alone.

Then take a High School Economics class and you may learn that the economy is in fact cyclical. It CAN NOT always be good times for the everyone. You take the downs with the ups.

If those classes weren't too much for you then try taking a University Finance class. You will learn that the ignorant Bailout Bill that your Democratic held Congress passed just made your dollar and the exchange rate look like play money by printing and handing out what will equate to free money.

Look at that...you did not have to hear any of that 'off the street.'

Not to mention....HE WAS BORN IN KENYA!!!

McCain was born in panama

[intensityfreak]

A question for everyone... and I am being serious here. Do you know anyone in your real life who is actually voting for Obama?

I ask this because if you watch TV, listen to the radio, or pick up a newspaper or magazine, all you see is how Obama is leading in poles, which celebrity is now voting for Obama, which magazine/news source is endorsing Obama, etc....... so it would appear if you went by that, that Obama is running away with this thing.

However, in my real life, when asking people I know (Family, friends, co-workers, people at the gym, neighbors, etc) or just listening to them talk, I have yet to hear one person who is voting for Obama. Everyone is dead set on voting for McCain.

Just curious if any of you have experienced this.

you know you might not belive this but i do, i think that civilian voting only has a little to do with who actually gets elected. i think u.s officials and politiciants and people in positions of power really matters. it ssaid that in texas people in positions of authority as a different voting site than civilians. what yor input on this cause im not 100% sure this is accurate.

not to be an asshole or nothing but you can believe that bull sh..t if you want, you must be one those desk crapies who reads and believes everything he hears, i know from experience and seen how one man change and economy spent 6 years in the mairines 2 of them special force. i've seen it with my own eye's, ask any infantry soldier and they we'll tell you the same. so yea you keep talking those classes thinking you know something that you really have know idea about, i really cant stand soft asses that think they know something cause thats what they were tought and told.. civilians knows what millatry wants them to know.... so you can

The economic downturn and credit crunch is a worldwide problem. The euro is doing great exchange rate wise, but europeans aren't.

[Kratos]

McCain was born in panama

yes, but both parents are citizens
Obama's are not
It's a matter for the courts, and shouldn't be talked about in the media or be a factor in the election. Because, I'd like to think innocent until proven guilty still exisits in America. If he was born in Hawaii, it shouldn't cost him the election.

Fine I'm a desk crappie...whatever that is...ouch. How does your time in the Marines have anything what so ever to do with the economy?

I fairly sure as a Finance major and being involved in the market for a living that...yep...I know a thing or to about what I'm saying. If you would like a lesson in economics/finance let me know...that way next time the subject comes up you don't come across as such an uneducate Neanderthal.

Look up this word bro...DEMOCRACY.

[Kratos]

I don't know why a reduction in the deficit even comes up when talking about Obama trying to raise more tax revenue. Neither candidate has any plans for reducing the national debt.

Where is the money for the deficit going to come from? his 10-year, $150 billion program to "establish a green energy sector," his 10-year, $60 billion "National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank," his nearly universal health care plan (whose annual price tag he low-balls at $50 to $65 billion) and a host of refundable tax credits ranging from $4,000 per year for college students to a tripling of the Earned Income Tax Credit, A $25 billion-a-year increase in foreign aid, $18 billion a year in education spending, 3.5 billion for a national service plan

Both candidates want substantial military withdrawl from Iraq by 2013, but neither will commit to numbers or total exit. Actually, Obama wants to increase defense spending. He wants to add 65,000 troops to the Army and recruit 27,000 more Marines to fight terrorism.

It's a bigger budget, needs more taxes.

[Kratos]

paying down the deficit, pft
ever pay someone back?
It's like kissing your sister...it's no fun.

We only got closer to a balanced budget because tax revenues were exploding durring the Clinton administration. They were taking in money faster than they could spend it.

Tax revenue went up nearly 90%
It was because of the internet, and the economic boom it created, not Bill freakin Clinton.

The economy (U.S.) saw it's stronest grow in nearly 20 years in 2003. I checked and Bush was President then...
