I’m a lifelong democrat and I can’t agree with you more. Can’t you imagine Obama being in there too?

Joe could be an unrepentant domestic terrorist or a white-hating BLT preacher or a real estate swindling thug, and none of that would change what Obama said–and meant.

Oh my stars. Folks, do the search. They’re talking about getting rid of the existing tax breaks associated with 401K’s and “redirecting that money” in other ways related to retirement savings.

Here’s one result, from http://www.thecitizen.com/~citizen0/node/32476:

Under Ms. Ghilarducci’s plan, all workers would receive a $600 annual inflation-adjusted subsidy from the U.S. government but would be required to invest 5% of their pay into a guaranteed retirement account administered by the Social Security Administration.

They better not go there, countryfirst….

THEY BETTER NOT….

I like the idea of an incentive to save, but not as a REPLACEMENT for what we already have, which certainly saves me ten times $600 per year, as I put far more than 5% of my income into a tax-deferred 401K. $600 may sound attractive to someone making 30,000, who doesn’t currently contribute to a 401K or IRA and for whom $600 *IS* 5% of their income. Those people would get $600 in retirement savings basically “for free”, without impacting their take-home. But for those of us who are currently putting the tax-deferred max into our retirement accounts, it is a very bad deal that could increase our taxes by thousands a year.

Can I ask for cheerios instead of popcorn from the concession? They’re healthier, you know….

To clarify: that was the generic “you,” not necessarily you in particular, although you seem to be defending Murtha. “An element of” is not sufficient proof a whole area is racist.

In my area a couple of years ago, we passed a multi-million dollar levy to tear down old schools and build new ones. At one of the meetings I attended people were asking the leaders of this drive, what about new text books and teachers’ salaries. The response was we’ll do that next time. The reason they wanted to tear down the old schools was that there was no money for maintenance and the schools were in disrepair. I talked to my local school board member and asked her if they had put maintenance money into this multi-million dollar levy. The answer: NO. Of course I voted against it, but it passed just the same. I’m sure that as soon as we finish paying off this levy, we’ll be tearing down the old schools, and building new ones again. As for the new text books and teachers’ salaries: That bond measure was defeated because we were on the brink of a recession. I don’t have children but have always voted for improved education because children are our future, but somehow we (as a society) have forgotten that little saying my parents always told me: Money doesn’t grow on trees, or maybe you can scratch it off my back…

Well, John, perhaps Biden has been good to the people of Delaware, but as a feminist I’m not ever going to forget Anita Hill and his treatment of her. In my book he’s a jerk. And then there’s the bankruptcy bill…

What is serious is that the courts are not taking these law suit seriously. Its like they don’t care. It would be a bloody mess if they did that.

Thanks for the laugh! I still can’t believe we can’t dig up any classmates from any college he attended. No one wants to admit they knew him? No one remembers him? He blended into the background? What’s the deal? I’ve been out of college for over 15 years now and I can find old classmates and get the info to you within the hour.

Is this guy a joke or what.
Laugh, but what happens when Obama fails to qualify for POTUS.
He currently has three (3) law suits

1 in PA, 1 in Wa, and another in UT, over his birth certificate.
He refuses to produce the long copy which has witinesses and doctor who were there when he was born.
The only witinesses that have come forward and said they were there at his birth, are all HIS relatives and they were in Kenya!

So what DOES his birth certificate say?

So when Obama fails to qualify Biden will be President. Then another VP is selected.

The media better wake up!
Things could get REAL ugly, REAL fast.
Then the backlash at the media is gonna be something to see.

This is serious.

You don’t go around using a broad brush and paint all the citizens pf an area as racists even if what you are saying is true. That is racist. Period.

A vote for McCain is a vote against Pelosi and Reid. We need to get those damn democrats out. They are destroying our America.

Just saw that on the Drudge Report – they had it listed as “shocker”! Maybe Obama better hold off on planning that multi-million dollar victory party in Chicago.
