OFFICIAL: 2008 ELECTION THREAD

I have to ask this, are you a Bush supporter? Do you think he helped this country?
If the anwser to that is No, there is no way you can vote for a Bush supporter with the same views as Bush.
If the anwser is yes, please send me 2$ a gallon for every gallon of gas I bought since gas prices went up.

how bad do you have to suck at running for president to lose to a Black Muslim after 9/11?

lol

WTF?
I have no response to your post.

I received this email from a fellow business owner…

Dear Fellow Business Owners

As a Business owner who employs 50 people, I have resigned myself to
the fact that Barack Obama, will be our next President, and that my
Taxes and Fees, will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer, will
have to see an increase in my fees to them of about, 10%. I will also
have to lay off 6 of my employees.

This really bothered me as I believe we are family, here and didn’t
know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did. I
strolled thru the parking lot and found, 8 Obama bumper stickers on my
employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.

I can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have
a better idea, let me know.

Would you please explain why he chose to word this sentence in a way that he felt warranted the use of four commas?

“To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer, will
have to see an increase in my fees to them of about, 10%.”

He can enjoy the tax cuts for small businesses and cheaper health care costs that will not make his expenses go up in a BIG way. And then he can start his next business in China after he gets sued and the people he lays off become the owners.

I can’t explain something I didn’t write.

Sued?
Do you mean Obamas people will come after him like they do anyone else who doesn’t support him?

Your statements are just amusing to read now.

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT OBAMA IS COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yep, with Obama’s abortion hatchet.

Or i mean that it’s illegal to fire people based on political beliefs? Although I suppose if Bush’s US attorneys do it that sort of sets a bad example…

Bring it bitch.:stuck_out_tongue:

He is not firing them, he is laying them off.:slight_smile:

I call BS on you owning a business. Didn’t you say you were a hydraulic pump operator or something?

i got them all right what about you? http://news.aol.com/elections/article/test-your-08-presidential-race-iq/234966?icid=100214839x1212131049x1200754383

Who do you think is going to pay for this free health care obama is talking about?
I can’t wait until the middle class realizes that they got screwed by Obama.

truth

what free health care is he talking about? once again, the right is ignorant. There is no FREE health care in his system. The onlything it lets them do is BUY into the government plan and enjoy discounts because its such a big group.

How are poor people going to buy into the government plan???

he’s going to give them the option to. It should be more affordable since the group is bigger. No one said they HAVE to. Unless they’re kids, in which case they probably get medicaid or SCHIP now anyway.

What made you pull this idea out of your ass that he’s gonna give it away for free?

Obama sets as his goal quality, affordable, and portable coverage for all.

Let’s take them one at a time:

  • Quality- Obama’s quality initiatives look a lot like McCain’s as well as those things that are going on in the market anyway. All good points—but no advantage here or expectation there will be quick savings.
  • Affordability – Affordability is more about shifting the cost of insurance to the government then it is making a more efficient U.S. health care system. Health insurance is more affordable for people because he spends many billions of dollars subsidizing access for everyone.
  • Portable Health Coverage For All: While Obama does not have an individual mandate to purchase health insurance; it is likely that he would cover most of those who are uninsured today because of his generous subsidies for low-income Americans. Compared to McCain, he puts far more emphasis on getting people covered upfront.

Obama would be successful in getting most of the uninsured covered and securing coverage for those that now have it. But when it comes to crafting a system that will not continue to outstrip the rest of the economy in what it costs, I see no evidence that he has tackled the drivers in health care costs—in fact he has likely poured some highly inflationary “gas on the fire” by adding tens of billions more to the system with no effective cost containment features to offset the new inflationary pressures.

The Obama health care reform plan is very similar to the new Massachusetts health care reform plan that was first implemented a year ago. The Massachusetts plan is proving to be falling short of covering everyone for an affordable cost. It’s second-year costs look to be coming in 50% higher than were projected when the plan became law in 2006 and its insurance is still unaffordable for most families making between $60,000 a year and $110,000 a year.
