A Not Very Bright Robin Hoodwink

I’ll tell you what Greed is. Greed is coveting and then taking what somebody else earned and owns that you didn’t earn and don’t own. That’s greed. In some quarters, it’s called burglary. Sometimes it’s called mugging. Other times it’s called extortion. But it’s still thievery by any other name.
The San Diego-Union Times has a concise argument against the Robin Hood concept.
We should point out that the Real Robin Hood took back from the rich that which the rich stole from the poor. He is not to be confused with Robin Hoodwink.
Robin Hoodwink wants to just take what belongs to somebody else and give it to those to whom these things never belonged–and some of whom haven’t always exactly worked very hard either.
Perhaps they haven’t gone to night school after work, paid for it themselves and inched their way to a degree or better job training. They haven’t gone home at night worrying about how to pay the business bills, make payroll or meet customer deadlines. They haven’t taken The Risk. They don’t hold the loan paper. Or perhaps they just plain made their own crappy life decisions, never saved a dime, borrowed to buy things they couldn’t afford, prefer to work at jobs that don’t interfere with their free time. All of these things will guarantee lack of financial success. To be sure, there are plenty of people who deserve the help of all of us who have a conscience. The disabled comes to mind. I’m not talking about the ones with the fake back injuries because God knows we all know several people in that category as well.
The point is, you don’t get to share in profits if you aren’t willing to share in the risk. This is something most sensible employees already comprehend. Unfortunately, they too will reap the punishment of this attempt to destroy capitalism in the last real refuge for those who have left other countries to get away from the concept of the Government in charge of your life and your financial growth.
There isn’t a soul reading this who doesn’t know someone who had a bad start in life, was born dirt poor, but had the ambition and fortitude to succeed. That’s what’s great about America. You can do that if you have the ambition, persistence and desire–if you are willing to make sacrifices and put the time into doing what has to be done in order to grow.
Although the goal of Barack Obama is clearly Socialism by any sensible definition, this silly notion (to mimic a word Obama uses whenever he gets caught at something–which is often) will create an historical unemployment percentage, not seen since the Great Depression. Government jobs will be artificially created, a doomed idea, considering somebody has to pay for those jobs.
The very rich have already figured out how to circumvent socialism. They didn’t get very rich being stupid. The small business owner also knows how to recover the cut in their own take-home pay: Unlike Barack Obama, who never ran a thing in his life and has spent most of his time on the government take, they built their businesses into successes on their own and they generally don’t take kindly to entrenched politicians telling them to give up the fruits of their labors and sacrifices. So they have other ways to circumvent greedy socialist politicians. It’s called raising prices, contract outsourcing to companies to avoid employee benefit payouts – and layoffs. I anticipate that most of these small business owners will figure out a way to make $249k just to get some of their own handout back to spite the idea that someone could turn our Democracy into a pre-Communist country lorded over by a vindictive Totalitarian with smarmy friends, who expects PRAVDA to do his bidding.
Every formerly dead Anti-American fringe party in our country didn’t revive itself to work for Obama for nothing. The leaders of the Marxist-Leninist, Socialist and Communist Parties are thrilled with his candidacy.
Of late, Barack Obama has poked fun at the distaste for this Robin Hoodwink idea. He has said, Since When Is Selfishness a Virtue between snickers and sneers–while speaking of people who gave more to charity last year than he and cheapskate Joe Biden combined. He has snorted about how they might find out that he shared his toys or his peanut butter sandwich when he was a kid.
In spite of Obama’s Narcissistic tendency to imagine he is the only smart person in the world, the reality of his “notion” has not escaped others who are smart enough to circumvent his capitalism-crushing plans.
That will leave the middle class to pay for all the candy. When it comes to voting to tax the middle class, Barack Obama hasn’t even voted “Present” in the past. He has no problem with it. You’ve been warned.
Spread the wealth economics harmful to all
November 1, 2008
At the risk of coming across as selfish and greedy capitalists with not an ounce of concern for the less fortunate, we’d like to put in a good word for the concept of not spreading the wealth.
It’s funny how that chance encounter between Joe the Plumber and Barack the Presidential Candidate and the sound bite it produced dominated the final days of this seemingly interminable campaign. But it turns out that Americans feel very strongly about the Robin Hood politics of taking from the well-off and giving to the economically challenged.
It is not surprising that those who have worked hard, made sacrifices, saved money, started businesses and made payrolls would frown on the idea of a presidential candidate actually boasting that he plans to raise their taxes, if elected, in order to give tax breaks to those who make less money. But it is a little frightening to think that there are so many people on the other side who covet their neighbor’s bank account.
And what’s the cut-off for the tax cuts? No one knows, because Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, can’t settle on a figure. First, it was said that only wage-earners who earned more than $250,000 annually would have their taxes raised. Then Obama, in an interview, lowered the figure to $200,000. Then Biden, in a speech, lowered it to $150,000. Luckily, this campaign is ending. Or we might be headed for a situation where anyone earning more than poverty level gets a tax increase.
But the real problem with Robin Hood economics isn’t just that it is unfair, but also that it’s harmful to the same people it professes to help. Like any handout, it kills incentive and rewards a lack of achievement. And, in this case, by confiscating the assets of the haves, it also punishes initiative and penalizes success.
That’s not a winning formula. In fact, it wouldn’t be good for anyone. And let’s hope we never get a chance to see that for ourselves.

Here’s a lesson we can learn from the people who eventually became the United States of America
The True Story of Thanksgiving by Rush Limbaugh
(excepts)
On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from? From the Bible.
The Pilgrims were a people completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and New Testaments. They looked to the ancient Israelites for their example. And, because of the biblical precedents set forth in Scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work.
…
And the sacrifice they had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter, half the Pilgrims – including Bradford’s own wife – died of either starvation, sickness or exposure. When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, fish for cod and skin beavers for coats. Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper!
The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant-sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.
Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had taken so many lives. He decided to take bold action. Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of the marketplace.
“The experience that we had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years…that by taking away property, and bringing community into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing – as if they were wiser than God,” Bradford wrote. “For this community [so far as it was] was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense…that was thought injustice.”
After the reform of private property was allocated:
“This had very good success,” wrote Bradford, “for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.” Bradford doesn’t sound like much of a Clintonite, does he? Is it possible that supply-side economics could have existed before the 1980s? Yes. Read the story of Joseph and Pharaoh in Genesis 41. Following Joseph’s suggestion (Gen 41:34), Pharaoh reduced the tax on Egyptians to 20% during the “seven years of plenty” and the “Earth brought forth in heaps.” (Gen. 41:47)
In no time, the Pilgrims found they had more food than they could eat themselves.
Now, this is where it gets really good, folks, if you’re laboring under the misconception that I was, as I was taught in school.
So they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians. The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London. And the success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the “Great Puritan Migration.”
Now, you probably haven’t read this. You might have heard me read it to you over the previous years on this program, but I don’t think this lesson is still being taught to children — and if not, why not? I mean, is there a more important lesson one could derive from the Pilgrim experience than this?
Thanksgiving, in other words, is not thanks to the Indians, and it’s not thanks to William Bradford. It’s not thanks to the merchants of London.
Thanksgiving is thanks to God, pure and simple. Go read the first Thanksgiving proclamation from George Washington and you’ll get the point. The word “God” is mentioned in that first Thanksgiving proclamation more times… If you read it aloud to an ACLU member, you’ll get thrown in jail, but that’s what the first Thanksgiving was all about. Get it. I’m telling you, read it. Maybe we can find it and link to it: George Washington’s first Thanksgiving Proclamation. Folks, if you haven’t read that, you need to read it. It will tell you the true story of Thanksgiving. I’m happy to share it with you each and every year as a tradition on this program.
Great article.

Uppity, Outstanding commentary.
When did this level of Presidential power slip in on us? The only thing between us and the fate described here is a sufficient crisis (manufactured or otherwise) and the character of the President. We have not been vigilent enough.

Greed is wanting to have more than anyone else has. It’s wanting to stuff your mouth with gold and then more gold. Greed is wanting more and more, even when people around you are in need and being ground down with poverty. Greed is wanting to be rich. Greed is caring more about yourself than others and refusing to help your neighbour. Greed is caring more about money than people. Greed is thinking money is more important than love and charity. Greed is holding back your loaf or your fish and not caring if the five thousand go hungry. You’re alright Jack. Greed will not, however, get through the eye of the needle.
Wow this must be the credo of the greedy residents of “Rezko Manor.”
Squirrel Alert.
The media is truly disgusting now we have this auido tape of Obama mentioning his willingness to bankrupt the coal industry, this tape was made since January to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The printed a story on this interview and left out this damming statement over the coal industry. These media people sure know how to cover up for this man what the hell is wrong with them do anyone of them care about this country at all??

Thanks, SJ—send this to OReilly!!!
“Greed is coveting”…..”Clarice what does it do? and what does it covet?”
Rofl, excellent reference.
I don’t know… I’m thinking I can pretty much guarantee you that Obama-the-hideous shared neither peanut butter sandwich nor toys.
From Barry’s anemic charitable donations (on the tax forms precious will release, that is) I think it’s clear that Barry just ain’t the givin’ kind.
The stealin’ kind… yup. The givin’ kind… nope.
The fact that his mother took food stamps so she could finish her PhD is beyond disgusting. I doubt she taught him how to share a crumb. In this regard she was a bottom feeder and a disgrace.
But you don’t really know whether this is true. After all, wasn’t her mother a bank VP?
grandmother was a bank executive. Mama was a rolling stone…
whoop sorry, i think i might have replied to a troll.
speaking of trolls, that AnninCa is one of the most obnoxious we have ever had here in the hallowed halls of NoQuarter. Please ignore that
mutton head.
great post and this is what it’s been about everyone. Socialism in this country has been esealating to this for awhile. The number of people who don’t pay income taxes is 40%, the majority being able bodied lazy people.
You are wasting your time talking to the trolls. They are a bunch of satanic kooks with no sense. They come here because they are so desperate for attention they have nowhere else to go to get it. This is one of the few places they can find intelligent life.
You know, we have been living in Georgia this year and when we told people in the Midwest we were going to be working in Georgia they all made faces and asked if we were afraid to be in such a Red state. So far, the only act of intolerance I have seen in five months is Obama “youth” supporters trespassing in people’s yards so they can kick over the McCain signs. It makes me ashamed of the Democrats.
If these Obots are so sure of the One, why do they have to vandalize any sign of the opposition?
I assume this is a rhetorical question. Yes?
tek, I heard from another Georgian who is contacting your S of S to ask her to demand proof from BO that he is a natural born citizen. You could call her tomorrow, too. Any questions, ask Administrator for my email.
Administrator: If tek wants my email, please, give this to him or her.
We’re not really Georgians (although we like the state very much). We are residents of Florida and voted absentee already. We were there over the weekend. Hardly any Obama signs in N, Central FL. All McCain.
OMG! I just read that the FBI is investigating “the leak” about Obama’s aunt being in the country illegally! If he isn’t the insider candidate no one is. What about Joe the Plumber’s leaks? God, I sincerely hope we won’t have four years of this idiocy!
McCain/Palin!
I love how reporting that a criminal is on the loose has now become a leak. Obama’s aunt is in active flight from deportation but still able to get rent assistance, a part time job and four years of free living in America.
http://WWW.MarstonChronicles.info Under elections. The McCain-Palin Landslide. It’s not even going to be close.
PUMA, NoDealers, NObamas, no “new” democratic party voters…whatever. Sanity in a landslide.
I can’t wait to watch the o’s explode along with the msm, such a great laugh it will be.
“Greed is coveting and then taking what somebody else earned and owns that you didn’t earn and don’t own. That’s greed.”
I would agree that this describes one aspect of greed, but it’s not the whole picture. On the other side of the coin, you might say that greed is someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth stingily holding onto every penny bequeathed to him and flaunting his caviar and silk and European vacation and gasoline guzzling luxury car in the face of someone born on a dung heap.
What I like so much about the Clintons is that they seemed to attempt to strike a balance between these two worlds, which is what we have to do.
I voted for John McCain but there are a lot of things I don’t like and have never liked about Republican economic policies. I just hope that if Obama is elected that both Clintons will release themselves from the censorship that seems to be imposed on them and keep slugging for all of us, entrepreneurs, middle class, and poor, whatever forked-tongued Obama and the rest of the idiot Democrats do.
I posted this earlier so in case you have not seen it please read the article.
This is a very good article about the PUMA factor and how it will give McCain the POTUS. It is short but very informative and deals with everything on number bases. After reading this I have no doubt we will win.

Goodbye to all that. Goodbye to your nonsense.
Enjoy Tuesday.
I will enjoy Tuesday just knowing I didn’t vote for a communist puppet from Chicago. So I win anyway you look at it.
I’ll add one more:
Be prepared for a surprise black vote. It won’t get close to the white vote, but won’t be what is being published either (just like everything else connected to BO).
Congressman Conyers (MI) pleaded with the FBI to investigate the leak. Are they scared that Obama’s illegal alien status will come out?
PUMA 2008!
Conyers is behind this? Shoulda known. This country is now officially gone insane.
Who cares who leaked it, Congressman Reparations?! It’s undeniably true and this is the aunt of the man running for President of the United States.
Back on topic: Robin Hoodwink did arrange a deal to syphon off a quart of aviation fuel* from his Mock Air Force 1 to send to Auntie Zeituni so that she can use it in her kerosene heater this winter. He is such a generous man.
*Paid for by campaign donors.
I BELIEVE THAT EACH CANDIDATE SHOULD HAVE TO SUPPLY A COPY OF THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF OUR UNITED STATES IF HE WAS NOT BORN EITHER HERE IN THE STATES OR ON AN AMERICAN BASE OVERSEAS.
I just caught a glimpse of Body Odor (that’s as much as I can take) making a speech to his adoring fans, and mocking John McCain’s accusation of Obama’s socialism. It was utterly frightening because I sensed immediately that the vast majority of the audience couldn’t tell what socialism is if their life depended on it. There are enough stupid Americans, susceptible to KOOL-Aid, out there to make a tragic difference in this election. I challenge anyone to ask 10 Obama supporters to define ’socialism’ and to find 2 that can.
Axelrod, Soros and the other Svengali’s saw this serious defect in America and found the perfect Manchurian Candidate to ride this wave of ignorance.
God help America, I pray for a miracle that the POS Obama will never be my president.
Come hell or high water he will never be my president. Other than the thought of him being elected, what really bothers me is the fact that I actually hate the communist son-of-a-bitch.
hell many do not even know his policies or who his VP is!
If Obama’s pea brain pod bots were so sure of Obama, why are they doing anything like coming here, vandalizing, assaulting and threatening people?? They’re all a bunch of satanic kooks.
What if Obama actually believes that PUMA are all Republicans? And that the pollsters aren’t taking PUMA into account at all? Now think about Obama’s Democrats for Day!!! They’ll vote for McCain as well. Combine all that together and I just don’t see how the polls can be correct. It just smells wrong to me. In fact, a lot of people think it’ll be a landslide for McCain.
I’m not sure exactly what will happen. But something ain’t smelling right. I think McCain is doing much better than we think. Plus, there seems to be a sense of urgency for McCain supporters to get out the vote.
http://www.marstonchronicles.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=94&Itemid=118
Someone agrees with you.
I took his chart and computed the % of Hillary supporters needed. Remember, the polls say that 30%+ won’t vote for Obama. These percentages are from the people that actually voted for Hillary in the primaries in those states. If there are Democrats that didn’t vote in the primaries, but are voting for McCain, then those are bonus not listed here.
Again, these percentages are of HILLARY supporters that actually voted in the primaries. NOT of total Dems. Half the percentage to know approx how many Dems need to switch sides.
OH: 13.1%
NC: 0.9% (less than one percent)
FL: 19% (remember that turnout was low)
VA: 18%
CO: 150% (caucus, 60K PUMA shouldn’t be hard to find)
NV: 600% (Only 5K people showed up for Hillary who won)
NM: 42.3% (Need 31K people)
PA: 14.7%
NH: 27%
WI: 29.3%
MN: 187% (caucus)
I’ll put them back in order:
NC: 0.9%
OH: 13.1%
PA: 14.7%
VA: 18%
FL: 19%
NH: 27%
WI: 29.3%
NM: 42.3%
Caucus:
CO: 150%
MN: 187%
NV: 600%
Only NH, WI and NM look iffy, but I have a feeling those could be trouble for Obama as well. The caucus states are actually more favorable to McCain because these require far less voters. Caucus brings in very few people.
So if PUMAs are more than 19% in those states OH, PA and VA, then McCain wins 281-257. He could even lose MO, and still get exactly 270. However, if McCain holds MO, Obama is toast.
These results are according to RealClearPolitics average polls and primary results.
Need between 400K to 550K PUMAS in those 4 states which is easily done (well below average) if there are 8 million PUMAs nationwide. If other states have lots of PUMA as well, then bonus for McCain.
Thank you for crunching these numbers. We were talking about this earlier in the day!
Also expect more PUMAs in caucus states.
“White Folk’s Greed Runs a World In Need”
Barack Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdLX3aRNaNk
Well, tek, I remember when Bush’s record of drunk driving was denounced as a “Dem dirty trick.” So we come full circle.
Yes, we are strange bedfellows here, and we need to embrace that while holding our own ground.
I am a member of the “creative class” and personally opposed to hard work—I’m for inspiration. And I live right near Merrymount, where the pagans were driven out by the puritans…and I think the puritans are the single WORST thing to have ever happened to the US.
Our common ground is that I detest fraud, lying and hypocrisy. And cults.
I don’t disagree with you on anything you’ve said. I am a Democrat by the way. What I’m saying is the Democrats are now acting exactly like the Neoconservatives and no one seems aware of it or embarrassed by it. So I guess all those things we criticized in the Bush administration and the Republicans were only wrong because they had power and we didn’t? That’s how it seems to me in this election year. It appears that’s what the Democrats have morphed into.
If the Democrats really were upset about the Republicans’ fraud and corruption, we would be acting very differently now. But the Obama Democrats are acting just like the Dubya Republicans. I find it sad and disappointing and a little bit scary.
One of the commentators on Bill Moyers this week said she was expecting something heroic from Obama in his 30 minute infomercial. She thought he would announce that since he refused public campaign funding and he has so much more money than John McCain he was going to pay for McCain to speak for half an hour also and then voters would know exactly what they’re voting for and could make an informed choice. But instead, nothing.
It made me think that’s one thing I really dislike about Obama. He’s had so many chances to do something big and heroic since he started campaigning. He says he’s different from the old politics. But I have not seen him do one magnanimous thing during the entire campaign season. Not one. His people call that “smart campaigning.” Win by hook or by crook, however you can. I call it old school Republican politics.
“What I’m saying is the Democrats are now acting exactly like the Neoconservatives and no one seems aware of it or embarrassed by it. So I guess all those things we criticized in the Bush administration and the Republicans were only wrong because they had power and we didn’t? That’s how it seems to me in this election year. It appears that’s what the Democrats have morphed into.”
This is what I find extremely sad. It always seems to be the “extreme wing” against the “extreme wing.” I used to think we were the more tolerant party and that our members would never sink to the lows that have occurred this election (one striking example are those disgusting Palin t-shirts). Once thing I can say is the new “extreme wing” of the Democratic Party is on-par with the NEOCONs……what a shame!
I am also a member of the creative class. So far, I haven’t noticed that it isn’t really hard work to create things. Not manual labor, but it is a lot of work.
I personally have no sympathy for the Puritans who executed anyone who didn’t adopt their religion. They led a revolution in England that most Americans don’t know anything about. They were the most ruthless rulers ever to control that country. They captured the royal children (the little ones under age 7) and let them slowly starve to death as a punishment for being born royal.
you’re a member of the “creative class” and personally opposed to hard work?? This country is what it is because of people like me and millions of others who WORK HARD. People can be creative and still work hard. Being opposed to hard work=laziness and you want something for nothing.
Hey…I’m a poet. There are entire cultures devoted to laziness. Look up some of the Burmese folk tales. Writing takes solitude and immobility. Not all the time, but a good chunk of it.
Also, yes, it’s exploitive, but the wealthy idle do provide for the creation and exaltation of art…from architecture to fashion and all in between.
I’m not for bashing hard work, but neither will I exalt it into some kind of cult.
Remember…OBAMA intends to keep his citizens BUSY. We’re all to be indoctrinated into a national volunteer work force!
Oh, and wodiej..there are all kinds of work which are not compensated. Motherhood, for one. It’s supposed to be its own reward.
I hear these country songs (which I love, for the most part) which extol their daddies for working hard…except for SUNDAY, when of course, they take their day of rest as the “good lord” intended. And all I can think is…the WOMEN in that idyllic world don’t get Sunday off. They wash and dress their children for Sunday school, fix biscuits and ham, etc, to eat, and then do the dishes and everything else, same as any other unpaid servitude day.
Are you female?
I didn’t say I didn’t work, but I’m not into making a FETISH out of work, because it’s a means, not a ends.
Greed indeed is one thing and Soetoro is king of greed. He wants to destroy capitalism because he made his billions and he wants to keep others down while he is on top.
On another note:
Hal Turner threatens to fire people who vote Obama

Harp,
The echo chamber was full of itself today. Playing with the screen dragging this or that state here or there, the manipulator played at the faux oracle.
I went back to making wind chimes.
Would click on it except it is TIME magazine which is part of the MSM and I have a no-MSM policy.
(in response to AnninCA) - I am voting for McCain because he is devoted to America. He loves her and has a life record that shows it. His wife who would be the First Lady has shown generosity and compassion and devotion in her life. Barack Obama has shown nothing but contempt for America and his wife who would be the First Lady has said despicable things about our country, not only since Barack began his campaign but going back to her college thesis. I love my country and I want a leader who loves her, too.
Artemis, I think these are very good reasons for voting for Mac. I would add: McCain has really paid his dues. He has physically suffered unimaginably for his country. He spent over 4 years as a POW in the service of the USA. That really means a lot to me. They actually broke him up thoroughly, but he is still standing tall. He has earned my admiration and my respect.
And Obama? This is what’s known as an ellipsis–> . . . . It is used to indicate where words have been omitted. In this case, words have been omitted because O is a Zero signifying nothing but empty words and vague concepts like “Hope” and “Change.” He hasn’t paid his dues, and I don’t trust him. And more than that, I don’t like him.
And I (registered Democrat) am voting for McCain because:
* his character (steady through good times and bad;
respectful toward people). Obama = arrogant, holds a grudge, can’t hide his displeasure at the smallest things.
* McCain and his family LIVE their principles rather than just talking about them (John serving his country since age 17, Cindy with her charity work, they adopted a child, they have a multi-racial family; their son is fighting in Iraq)
Obama = yakity-yak; drug user at an age when McCain was fighting for his country.
*His career has been marked by true bipartisanship
and I believe he will carry that into his
presidency. Obama = left-wing of Democratic Party and ABSOLUTELY no history of going a WHIT against the party on anything.
* McCain respects women and treats them well (pay scale for female employees; friends with Hillary), chose a woman for his VP. Obama= didn’t pick a woman who got almost as many delegates as he did and more of the popular vote as his VP because he “doesn’t like her.” “Brushed Hillary off his shoulder,” re: hiphop song and then flipped her a supposedly unobtrusive finger after she bested him in a debate.
* McCain has decades of experience in how Washington works without being part of the Washington “establishment” and a President must know how Washington works. Obama = 143 working days in the Senate.
* McCain knows his foreign policy; Obama knows how to give a speech (when it’s written for him).
* McCain’s economic policy: equality of opportunity; Obama’s = equality of outcome — proven ineffective.
* McCain = substance; Obama = “identity”
I could go on and on, don’t want to take up more space.
Requiredreading, this is probably the most effective concise list of reasons for voting for McCain that I have seen. Thanks.
Ridiculing the opposition is an Obama trademark. It is strategy #1 of the New Politics. Make fun of anyone who is an outsider. Call them names; use your voice to publicly joke about them. It is what every 12-15 year old is really good at.
My mom said “Obama’s campaign has a ‘mean girls’ quality to it.”
Bingo!
Number 1 Mean Girl- Campbell Brown
Your mom really nailed that. I never would have thought that, but as soon as I read it, it just seemed perfect.
I am FOR McCain!
And, I am FOR this BI-PARTISAN effort to STOP every anti-American fringe group from getting their grubby paws on the White House
I am for that too. What Bi-Partisan effort? It is an organized effort?
The most reliable pollster from the 2004 Presidential Election reports:
McCain takes a 14-point lead with men!
McCain takes a 16-point lead among rural voters!
McCain takes the lead in the Age 25-44 Category!
The race tightened again Sunday as independents who’d been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates.

There is a dispute now about the existance of a Pew Poll giving McCain a 1 point lead among likely voters. Can someone confirm its existence?
Forget the polls–they do not tend to edification.
obama may win and be president but there is one thing he will never be….A decent human being! He is scum and I will do my best to help get his sorry ass impeached after he does the first unethical thing in office. That should take about 24 hours before he invites his low-life cronies to visit. We need to make sure the White House visitor log is put on line for all to see. That should be a hoot to read! A who’s who of anti Amercian trash!
Don’t worry about this - if the unthinkable happens and BO wins, the press is going to turn on him in a New York minute — like a feeding frenzy, using all the “food” they put in storage and didn’t use during the campaign — so you won’t have to do a darn thing: just sit back and watch. Then all these sorry trolls on here tonight will get a taste of their own medicine…..
McCain/Palin 2008!
When you get blindsided in politics you call it a dirty trick when you have no other response. So for Obama to call the aunt story a dirty trick translates as: “OUCH!”
This is the ONLY ROBINHOOD I want to hang out with!
does anyone remember this series?
with Michael Praed
omg I was so in love with this show
anyway
gnite time to watch
extreme home makeover
enjoy the song if you like that type (I do especially)
Fox has jumped head first into the tank now. They are all talking about what Obama will be like as president and completely ignoring McCain. O’Reilly was on early talk shows saying he tought Obama would be like Bill Clinton!!!! 0)
Turn off the tv~~~!!!!
It has been a nauseating OBAMAMERCIAL today.
I’m tellin’ ya, Obama is the corporate candidate.
- with one difference. If the Larry Sinclair story is true, Obama won’t be receiving BJ’s; he’ll be giving them.
Ok. That’s what I would have typed if I were tasteless, which I am not.
What will truly be sad is we will still be a divided country, after this election. SO many wounds have been opened and at times, the opposition has gleefully poured alcohol in them. I will never be ok with the mysogny, or the hate I have experienced first hand by O supporters. I will never be ok with the outright slander and libel nor the spitting on our flag style of politics I have witnessed this election season. I have alreaded voted, for the best person left standing, and that is Senator McCain, and Gov Palin. The best candidate was Senator Clinton, but the dems just couldn’t stand it. THe next best for me is Senator McCain. He is a respectful human being, he is not a piece of work created by a machine to get the brain starved, credit addicted fools vote.
IT will take a lot of years to get over it…if that is possible. How do you get over your fellow countrymen and women thinking you are somehow so less than human it is ok to victimize and harm you each and everyday? Voting how I choose is not revenge, but I guarantee not hiring koolaid swigging squirrels is, and that will be a pleasure. Healing is, way too distant in the future to comprehend still.
McCain will win.
Information I’m getting all over the internet shows this election looking better and better for McCain. Check out this analysis of the PUMA vote - which is not being reflected in the polls.

Bejamin!
Woot!
I have been mumbling this for days and nobody has said a word. Yes, the PUMA numbers are not being calculated in the polling and voter turnout counts. When they are added in, McCain wins.
Excuse if you have seen this, but they have Obama on audio saying he will bankrupt the coal industry.
http://media.newsbusters.org/stories/hidden-audio-obama-tells-sf-chronicle-he-will-bankrupt-coal-industry.html?q=blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/11/02/hidden-audio-obama-tells-sf-chronicle-he-will-bankrupt-coal-industry
Obama and McCain are both wrong on the topic of “clean coal”.
There’s no such thing, and there’s no technology waiting in the wings that would make it an economically viable reality. Carbon dioxide sequestering simply won’t work on the required scale. It hasn’t even been tested experimentally. Probably because doing so would prove the point.
Coal isn’t the fuel of the future.

Here’s refreshing video, truly awesome.
that guy is great!
The only thing Obama will accomplish if he wins, is too pay back all the many, many favors he owes everyone and their mother for getting him to the White House. So, please do not let him get elected. He is useless with a capital “U”.
What’s emblematic about Obama’s remarks
Is that both the peanut butter sandwich
And the toys
Were given to him by someone else.
