        I read alot of articles, News, and some boards pro Obama and not. Here's my fucking problem...

        Obama's wife publicly stating "This is the first time I'm proud to be an American"... meaning her husband is now a canditate. Freudian slip in my opinion... this is our potential first lady. I don't see too much talk about this one and think it should be reiterated.

        Let alone Obamas' credentials, shady affiliations, 95% population will get tax cuts (bullshit... credits aka welfare), the squeeze on entrepenuers (btw... these are the people who stimulate the economy with jobs)... it just goes on and on.
        Please educate yourself about BOTH Obama and McCain before voting or don't vote. Please show me where Obama would "squeze" entrepenuers? Everything I read it would be the exact opposite. Anyone wanting to give out "welfare credits" is McCain.

          Just finished watching. The points made are serious and will be exposed in the next two weeks.

          BTW... the squeeze on 250k or above is probably the most documented proposal in this debate...

                        My Friends (I hate how McCain calls everyone that),

                        I am all for change and really like many of the ideas that Obama has and obviously he is very intelligent and a good people manager as well. However, tax increases for people and businesses making over $250k some of the other tax hikes he has proposed will certainly effect me both personally and in business. This scares me.

                        I do not plan to vote for the Maverick but am worried about what may happen with Obama in there as well. Can anyone offer any educated comforting words about his proposed tax policies?

                        Thanks, Mitch

                            You're buying half a million dollar cars and you are worried about a few more dollars in taxes? Fighting terror costs money, chances are your taxes are going up no matter who is in office. Remember Mccain was the one who said lowering taxes during war time was stupid, that was real mccain not mccain who wants to get elected.Mccain's good friend was charles keating. Charles was part of the antiporn movement that tried very hard to put larry flynt away for life. W laid the frame work, so for john and the church lady to really screw with our industry isnt a big jump.

                              Fighting terror is the question. This point is going to be hammered in the days leading up.

                              Not just the shady affiliations with Obama... his ability (EXPERIENCE) that carries the credibilty

                                He has no shady affiliations, stop watching faux news. George Bush had people with over 100 yrs of experience and look how they have fucked up this country.

                                  I hate how every election in most countries one side of politics plays the "Lets tax the rich more" card. You lost 1 of the rich from the country and 10+ of the poorer are needed to meet the tax shortfall. Though one party always does it because its popular amongst the monkeys who live from payday to payday.

                                      Tony - I am not buying half a million dollar cars. You must be getting me confused with some other billing company owners.... I understand that tax increases and inevitable in this economy. However, to be singled out because I have a successful business is what I do not agree on. Either raise them for everybody or nobody. Please keep in mind that I do not like McCain/Palin at all but the alternative is scary too.

                                          not many are proud that bush has flushed this great country down the drain

I understand that tax increases and inevitable in this economy. However, to be singled out because I have a successful business is what I do not agree on. Either raise them for everybody or nobody. Please keep in mind that I do not like McCain/Palin at all but the alternative is scary too.

                                                    Really the deficit is how high even before the bailout? You don't think all the borrowing this country has been doing from china hasn't helped this.

                                                          obama couldnt pass a security clearance to be in the FBI or to even be in secret service to protect the president.

                                                          the candidate is just a tool for the party to get in power.

                                                          obama hasnt even come up with a valid birth certificate to prove he was born in this country and that disqualifies him alone.


                                                          Don't you ever get tired of being completely wrong?

                                                              carry on

                                                              I guess thinking that makes it easy for you to dismiss another point of view.
                                                              I would never vote for Obama because of the following:

                                                              Obama agreed with the fact that every time taxes have been cut, it generates growth and increases revenue. Yet, he plans to raise taxes on the very same folks who run small & large businesses which create jobs and growth. Obamas tax plan will increase our cororate taxes by almost $100,000 a year.

                                                              It is a simple survival vote for me. Obama will kill small business if he gets his tax plan passed. Keep taking from the so-called rich. After all, you can always go get a job from a poor person.

                                                                Being a rich arrogant asshole is the only thing that makes sense about a small portion of the people voting republican. I can understand that and it makes sense. It's when "rich arrogant assholes" try to defend other parts of the republican platform that they come off as silly.

                                                                    Certainly, if he wanted to, the last debate gave him two separate possibilities of using the race card...1.) When McCain called him "that one"; 2.) When McCain told the only black guy in the audience that he probably has never heard of Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac

                                                                    And to be perfectly clear - there are lots of people that are not voting for him because he is half black. But when he gets into office, I see him doing more good for those people than McCain could do in 20 years of office.

                                                                    To answer the OP -

                                                                    One word - Palin. Putting all my other reasons aside, I stopped trusting McCain's judgment when he picked Palin as his running mate. Whatever he, or the Republicans, want to say, we all know in our heart of hearts that he picked her for votes, and not for anything else. Had he picked a legitimate VP / successor, my vote wouldn't have been swayed so quickly. I mean, it's not like being the VP means you call a lot of shots...but she'll be calling enough that it scares the hell out of me what some of the shit she has on her agenda will do to the country. Maybe if McCain would address "the Palin question", and tell us exactly what she will be doing, and how/why she is capable of doing that/those things, I'd feel a little more comfortable with it.

                                                                    And secondly - God forbid McCain gets elected and has some health complications, and that no-nothing, hockey mom is put in charge of our country. There is no denying McCain is an old man -he'll be 73 next year. Most 73 year olds that I come into contact with are barely capable of pissing on their own, let alone leading the most powerful nation in the world out of economic and social despair. So I definitely give McCain tons of credit, and pay him great honor that he is as capable as he is, but look at pictures of Bush in 2000 vs. today. Or Clinton before he assumed office, and after. T he office of the president ages you a ton, and puts all kinds of mental and physical strain on your body. I just don't have faith in McCain being able to hold up the entire term.

                                                                            While I don't think everything in this country should be a "right" I think I should be allowed to expect certain things for my money. If I hire an employee to work for me and they don't preform as I want I can fire them. If I buy a product and it doesn't work I can take it back and get my money back. It is pretty common for people to expect something in return for their investment into something or someone.

                                                                            I don't see an amendment in the constitution that states that I as a citizen I am required to pay about 25% of my income in federal taxes. I don't see an amendment in the constitution the requires me to pay taxes on many of the products I buy. But these things exist and in many cases I don't have a choice but to pay them. I don't pay my taxes, I go to jail. It is that simple. So if I am forced to pay taxes is it wrong of me to expect something in return for my money? I personally don't want them giving my money to companies that use that money to ship jobs overseas. I don't want them to give my money in aid to countries that don't like us. I don't want them to use my money to support "faith based" education and charity. But they do. We can pick and choose how we personally would like to see our money spent. If I had it my way they would not give money to other countries that hate us or to companies that don't support the workers of this nation or to religous whack jobs who want to "educate" people on how birth control is bad and I would rather see them use that money to create some kind of health care system so anyone who is a citizen can get at least their basic health care needs met. Call me crazy but I think investing in the health of the country is better than spending billions aiding countries that don't like us.

                                                                            If the government doesn't want me to expect certain things of them that is perfectly fine with me. Just give me most of my money back and I will shut up.

They also gave money to Romney, Thompson, and other repub presidential candidates.. These guys had no problem accepting money from someone who had ties with the former terrorist...

                                                                                    2. Hannity has had it in for Obama since he started campaigning.. He'll twist things anyway he can that makes him happy.. and keeps running the staged 'interview' with Palin/McCain hoping it helps..
                                                                                    I think he has a hard on for Palin... He and Ann Coulter are the bottom of the pit on Fox..

                                                                                    3. McCain may not be the hero that he keeps claiming to be.. Believing this is up to you.. I'm sure there will be 'tin foil hat' yells, but this is worth browsing through.. Makes no difference to me if ya believe it or not.. draw your own conclusions..

I am self employed and I have asthma. Most health insurance companies will not accept me and those that will will not cover anything asthma related. If I have a regular job with a company I could get insurance no questions asked and they would cover anything.

                                                                                          I understand it to a point. If I actually use the insurance they would lose money on me if they just sold me an individual policy whereas when I am part of a company they have many others that they make money off of to offset the losses they might have on me. I would love to see some kind of system that created a pool where anyone who wanted could buy a policy and get coverage and everyone nationwide that bought a policy was in the same pool. They could even provide it free for those who had no means of paying (say you were laid off or were in school or just got a job and were still on the probation period.) It would allow for everyone that has no coverage now (some 45 million people) to be grouped together and get coverage and it would not cost the government as much as if they tried to provide free health insurance to everyone in the nation.

                                                                                          This is really only touching the problem the health insurance industry has, but it is a start. The real trouble is not those that are not insured. They can get care if they need it. It is those that have coverage and when they need it their claims are denied.

                                                                                            Obama agreed with the fact that every time taxes have been cut, it generates growth and increases revenue. Yet, he plans to raise taxes on the very same folks who run small & large businesses which create jobs and growth. Obamas tax plan will increase our cororate taxes by almost $100,000 a year.

                                                                                            It is a simple survival vote for me. Obama will kill small business if he gets his tax plan passed. Keep taking from the so-called rich. After all, you can always go get a job from a poor person.
                                                                                            That is a myth lower taxes dont create jobs.More wealth has been created during bush but wages and jobs have dropped. We also have a huge deficit and that was before the bail out
