Barack Obama is getting setup to be knocked down, hes thier fall guy, just wait and see.

[FallenWyvern]

This is just as startling as Oprah endorsing Obama...

[KingTenderloin]

of course

[Kratos]

I always thought he got a raw deal for the whole Iraq thing.

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!

I posted this in the news section...my bad. I didn't see it here.

Anyway, like I said in that section, I guess that makes Powell an idiotic, racists, and secret muslim sympathizer according to some of you...

[firmechicano831]

i think most of the people that vote, pick a person because of his policies. I'm mexican and I endorse Obama because I believe he will do a better job as president then McCain.

Ah, if only that were true . . .

The US government is hopelessly mired in debt because of Republican policies. Back in the 1984 presidential election, Ronald Reagan ran against Walter Mondale on the platform of "Morning In America." Mondale campaigned against the "borrow and spend" policies of Reagan, saying it was not responsible to burden future generations of Americans with 1980's debt. Americans decided (overwhelmingly) that they'd rather borrow from tomorrow and spend today than be fiscally responsible. Clinton managed to turn that around a bit, but Bush II went back to the Republican "borrow and spend" policy, which is why the country is in a big financial mess today. Count on a $1 Trillion federal budget deficit for this year on a federal budget of $4 Trillion.

If people didn't stand to lose their jobs today, John McCain would probably be leading in the polls, and Americans would still happily support these cancerous Republican fiscal policies that will eventually bankrupt the country.

Nope, Americans don't vote for candidates based on their policies. We vote for them the same way we choose toothpaste or laundry detergent--from what we see from their advertising and PR bs.

Funny you see it that way.

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.

yes, I know more than one

[VeraDeMilo]

Kratos, is the ratio of people you know for Obama over McCain as one sided as the media makes it seem?

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.

Obama's plan to create jobs is?

He wants more or less spending/taxes?

doubt that....he has NO experience...

and he is a communist/ma**ist...

Guess what...when he taxes those people over 250K....most being small business owners...they will only raise their prices of their services...you only want to vote for him because you want a funny money stimulus check...

besides...his policies will make it harder to get juice

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.

[B.E.N.]

Ask anything...just not those tough questions.

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

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

Keep in mind that he's talking about people who net more than $250,000 a year (that's after paying all the salaries, insurance, operating costs, taxes, etc etc etc, and not gross receipts). Ain't too many small businessmen who do that.
That "Joe The Plumber" guy wanted to buy a small business that didn't even gross O'bama's new tax policy.

If it was up to me, though, they'd abolish the IRS and go to some sort of flat tax that's easy to calculate.

You mean like this one



It takes about 60 seconds to do your tax return online. Basically there are only about two or three deductions you can make as well.

[green22]

Well, he made it clear why he is voting Obama. You could sort of tell it was a hard decision, It may sway some undecided voters since he is so highly respected.

[CSAR]

I wish Powell would run for President.

[firmechicano831]

I live in CA and I know more then one person who will vote for Obama.

[AmbushKing]

isnt it bad enough already?

but really MR. powell thats like the whites black guy


im sorry but whos cheney endorsing because thats what you have to worry about shotgun ( if anyone remembers)

[rhino1]

I live in CA and I know more then one person who will vote for Obama.

yea....CA if full of liberals

Liberalism is a mental disorder....

I cant believe a republican sold his side out...just goes to show you what his TRUE basis for changing is...

[rhino1]

He was also born in KENYA....he cant even run...His hawaii birth certificate is stamped "duplicate"


HMMMMM wonder why....

LETS see your REAL birth certificate BARAK

[BgMc31]

Dude you seriously need to stop listening to that bigotted, homophobic, conspiracy theorist Michael Savage. Any idiot knows that if you order your birth certificate from the state of birth it will say duplicate because the original is given only after the initial birth registration. Plus the man has been investigated when he ran for state senate (twice), the US Senate, and now the President of the US.

Try establishing real arguments as to why he shouldn't be president not bullshit outlandish claims. This man has proven he isn't muslim, he isn't a racist, he isn't a terrorist, he does say the pledge, he wears a flag pin, etc., etc. Next he'll have to prove he's human and born on this planet.

I actually admire guys like radio talk show host (conservative) Mike Doyle, and members of this form Blome, Murilo, nd to a lesser extent Kratos. At least these guys have valid non-conspiracy theory reasons why Barack shouldn't be president.

Crap like your post are ridiculous at best.

[FuPayMe]

a steroid forum isnt the best place to argue on politics

I'll pretend that's a compliment...thanks buddy.

[gst528i]

[rhino1]
