Who's the next president?

Thai said:
Right...who cares whether Joe is a plant or not, HIS QUESTION IS VALID AND APPLIES TO MANY HARDWORKING AMERICANS, including myself and my family. SonRunner is too damn blind to even acknowledge this...and simply claimed that people who make over $250k/year don't care about money and would not mind throwing $8000+ out the window. WTF is that all about?!! :confused:

THAT WAS SONRUNNER'S ANSWER! I wonder if SonRunner is Biden's speech writer?!! Holy cow...sonRunner has no clue!

No, he doesn't apply to many hardworking Americans. He relates to 1% of the population if he actually was going to make $250k. We've of course since found out that was a lie.

I still don't think you get it. IF you make more than $250k a year, your taxes will rise 3% (the same as under Clinton). That means if you make $500k you'll pay an additonal $8,000+ in taxes. If you make $251,000 a year, you'll pay an extra $30 bucks. Hopefully that makes sense?

The problem is these polls are national polls. They don't decide elections. As you may or may not know, states are awarded a certain amount of electoral votes that are totaled with other states to establish who the next president is.

Good points. See, these posts are good, not the ones about Palin's clothing...that was just weak!

I need some help with this one... You have a man who's stated qualifications are as a Community Organizer.. how does that make him qualified to become the next president?? Can someone connect the dots..
Let me add using his organizational skills with ACORN and his questionable associates In Ayers... Wright... Resko...Farrakhan..

Obama was only involved with acorn many years ago for a good cause. acorn and obama both wanted voters to register while at the dmv. Obama doesn't actually support acorn besides in this one instance that the republicans have brought up. If that is considered a connection at all then how about this. In 2006, John McCain was a keynote speaker for acorn, video included. Also, please research Obama's questionable associates a little further, seriously no offense just do a little research (fox news doesn't count) and then judge. I think you might change your mind, some of these connections the democrats and republicans are ridiculous.

Here's a video highlighting Obama and ACORN "connection" by MSNBC

Also LOL on Thai's cricket picture. That made me smile when i scrolled down.

Also a bit of a downer today. Came into a breakfast place and overheard a conversation between older women. They say it would be scary to vote for someone named "Barack Obama" and that a "terrorist shouldn't be running the country". I can understand voting for McCain based on policy issues, but what the hell. People are honestly voting on reasons as small as Barack's race and name as well as stupid stuff like Palin spending money on clothes. Neither of those things should matter...

One last thing i have to ask. What do you guys think about each of the candidates pasts regarding education? Didn't Obama get to Harvard and Columbia on his own (absolutely no sarcasm, but it's my understanding that Obama didn't have 'connections' to the top college)? Regarding McCain, the naval academy is a great school but he graduated at the bottom of his class (894 of 899). It impresses on me that he didn't have any desire to learn from his mistakes of the first year and may translate the way he handles things in the future. I look forward to your response as it's not often i get to talk to smart republicans ;): . Those two old ladies make me sick, seriously.

The reason the clothes became such a big issue is because Republican donors are upset that the money wasn't spent more wisely, especially when they're so far behind in the polls. Didn't she have clothes from being Governor? You can't make the case you're a small-town American, or that you relate to small-town average Americans if you need to spend 150k on clothes. The reporters looked at Obama and Biden's expenses and they haven't spent anything on clothes.
 
Obama and Biden as well as McCain can wear the same everyday if they wanted to. Nobody would know the difference. A suit is a suit.

Palin can't wear the samething. She must wear a different outfit each day. How long has she been campaigning now? over 45 days probably. So that is 45 outfits she has to have.
 
Still,it's $150k worth for her and her family. My mom is a business professional/defense contractor and probably has a 100 outfits and she's spent nowhere near $150k in her whole career of 30 years on clothes.

It looks silly no matter what spin you put on it.
 
Alright, this is downright getting petty and stupid! Come on, you guys criticize the Republican for spending money on clothing, yet it is perfectly OK for Obama to spend millions and millions on TV commericials bashing McCain???????

RonM, you can read that Obama has A LOT more negative TV ads than McCain, which is pretty much opposite to your stance earlier in this thread. Do you even read anything short of Obama propaganda??? :confused: As a self-proclaimed "independent," you sure are lopsided in your research and comments! :D

Thai said:
How different is that from Obama spending millions/billions on TV ads?? Does Obama shop at Salvation Army??

Double standard BS.

Maybe you're too blind to see how ridiculous your post sounds...again, so clothes are important but previous associations are not? :confused:

Which is more important for the Presidency??

Crickets...again??

What do you think McCains negative attack ads cost to run? Pennies? It's been proven that McCain has only run negative attack ads, while Obama has spent more on them, that's because he has more money and more supporters forking up said money. But, Obama hasn't ONLY run attack ads like McCain. And then you have the automated calls, which Palin says if she was in charge she wouldn't do. Hmmm... yet she already recorded one herself. Colin Powell and many other Republicans have called for McCain to stop these ads that do nothing but spread lies.

The Democrats learned from the last election with the John Kerry swift boat attacks. Republicans are just getting upset because the Democrats are calling them out on their lies this time and going right back at them. We're tired of the BS after 8 years of Republican rule. Enough is enough!

Just to remind you and RonM of this:



DON'T YOU GUYS GET IT?? Biden, who is a patriotic senator, is giving us a warning! This is a clear message...only those who are in deep love of Obama are blind to it.

Why are you even voting for someone like Obama????

I notice that SonRunner and RonM are especially quiet on this Biden speech. Hell, even CNN is wondering!!! (Oh yeah, as you all can read, the article posted above is by ABC NEWS.)

I'll grant you this one. Huge gaffe, he shouldn't have said it. I thought Obama responded to it well, but still a gaffe.

That said, there are still a million other reasons to vote for Obama. Like lower taxes for 99% of Americans and an actual feasible plan for health care, and a new direction in energy policy outside of "drill, baby, drill".

Really?? From my TV set, i see negative Obama ads all day long! you really think that all of Obama ads (4:1 to McCain) are positive??? I call BS on this one! Dude, every ad from each candidate is a negative slander of the opposition. The fact that you do not see this is a damn shame and clearly shows just how blind you are!

Oh yeah, Obama is so dead honest that he said one thing about advertising money and then went a different direction...oh yeah, real honest!

So, you are admitting that Democrats are lying "to get back" at the Republicans of years past???!!! Wow, thanks for backing up me. :) Hint: politicians are the lowest form of people outside of car salesmen! :D

Remind me, because you and RonM are apparently so well versed in political knowledge, how does one become President?? Hmmm, maybe the Democrats are pissed that they can't get a decent person to run for office after that embarrassing Clinton "oral office" fiasco!

And as the previous post noted, 8 out of 10 Democrats are voting for Obama, while 9 out of 10 Republicans are voting for McCain...so, it's not like Republicans are running out voting for Obama. Sorry to disappoint you. :p

Ah, but the majority of the country disagrees with you.

It's not lying to get back, it's calling the Republicans out on their lies. Spin it all you want, but the Republican party is in a downward spiral. The American people have had enough... hence the polls.
