“I am just posting what I read”
You don’t source shit.
You know what I’m done with you I keep telling myself that your just an idiot that will never get but for some reason I keep replying to you.
You don’t know what your talking about and if you do you don’t show it.
You sir when it comes to actually getting yourself educated on the issues are a :buickgn:
Post # 1497 in response to post # 1496.
Post # 1499 should have clued you in when I mentioned the Marines, as far as I know Obama wasn’t in the Marines but Wright was.
I figured with all of your reading you may have stumbled on these facts somewhere.
:rolljerk: I think from now on this will be my responce to your stupidity, since simple logic and reasoning doesn’t work.
found this via stumbleupon. I’m actually pretty impressed that he didn’t trash him…
Like him or not, you have to give Barack Obama credit for waging a smart, focused campaign. Destroying the Clinton machine was a major achievement and so was putting together a successful convention in Denver. Obama is now firmly a part of U.S. history, no matter what happens in the presidential election.
The problem some Americans continue to have with the Senator is that he is long on charisma but short on detail. This frightens some voters. Who the heck is this guy, anyway? So when Obama finally agreed to speak to me this week, specifics were on my mind.
First, the man. The Barack Obama I witnessed is self-confident, determined and driven. He was acutely aware of his surroundings from the moment he entered the room. He looks you in the eye and touches your shoulder. He understands how to connect one-on-one.
As far as philosophy goes, Senator Obama is convinced that the federal government should be in control of income distribution and, to some extent, should regulate the free marketplace. That is a classic liberal position, and Obama promotes it well.
The Senator also believes that poor Americans have a basic right to free health care and monetary supplements from the government with no strings attached. The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefit as a hard working, laid off worker would. Again, classic liberalism. No judgments made regarding entitlements.
So, if Barack Obama does become president, there will definitely be change. His left-wing base will demand it, and he will come through. You can decide if that’s change we should believe in, but keep in mind that the unintended consequences of government interference in the marketplace are impossible to predict. Free markets have a way of chafing under government imposition.
On the foreign policy front, Obama has convinced me that he is tough but cautious. He rose up quickly because he vehemently opposed the Iraq war. But now I see a man who understands the victory that has taken place in Iraq. I don’t believe he wants to screw that up. I could be wrong.
After going mano-a-mano with Obama on television, I am also persuaded that he is a sincere guy-that he wants the best for all Americans. He’s an ideologue, but not a blind one. He understands that his story is incredible, and, I have come to believe, he is grateful to the American system for allowing it happen.
It is true that we don’t know whether Senator Obama has the ability to solve complex problems, but you can say that about all presidential contenders.
Like most politicians, Obama has used guile and good luck to accumulate his power. He can be ruthless, kind, unfair, and generous. In short, he’s a real person trying to achieve an unreal position-that of the most powerful person in the world.
God help him.
-Bill O’Reilly
That was probably one of the most even handed things I have ever read from Billo.
His responce to the whole “lipstick on a pig” issue was also in Obama’s favor. It looks like Obama made a positive impression on him.
Obama should do interviews with Hannity and Glen Beck next. Maybe he can point them in the right direction as well.
While reading that I was reminded of how important this election is.
Every election is important so maybe that’s not a great way to put it.
At this point we seem to have a huge decision to make about the direction of this country because these canidates have such a big gap in philosophy.
The most important thing that O’Reilly said was…
“Free markets have a way of chafing under government imposition.”
I have always said(you can check my other posts), “Don’t fuck with the people that have the money.”
Yes, just fuck with the people that don’t.
Ok I’m done.
Good because that made no sense.
I don’t want the govt fucking with anyone.
Government involvement would have possibly prevented or at the least reduced severely the negative impact of subprime mortgages had on the economy.
:picard:
Now we are the largest communist country on the planet because the govt owns 50% of the homes in this country.
GREAT NEWS!
Like I said, big decision coming up.
and mass illegal wiretapping “could” have prevented Oklahoma city
it’s a slippery slope giving the feds too much power
:rolljerk: You don’t know what communism even means.
You don’t have to have the gov’t own homes, just set up the regulations to keep that crap from happening.
I talked to a mortgage broker from Canada and she said that shit would never happen there because of gov’t regulations.
I know people criticize wikipedia but I think this is pretty close…
Communism is a socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production and property in general.[1][2][3] It is usually considered to be a branch of socialism, a broad group of social and political ideologies, which draws on the various political and intellectual movements with origins in the work of theorists of the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution.[4] Communism attempts to offer an alternative to the problems believed to be inherent with capitalist economies and the legacy of imperialism and nationalism. Communism states that the only way to solve these problems would be for the working class, or proletariat, to replace the wealthy bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or government.[2] The dominant forms of communism, such as Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism and Trotskyism are based on Marxism, but non-Marxist versions of communism (such as Christian communism and anarchist communism) also exist and are growing in importance since the fall of the Soviet Union.[citation needed]
Ouch Greenspan reports that the Country cannot afford Mccains tax cuts
.
By GLEN JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer 36 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Alan Greenspan says the country can’t afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain — at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending.
“Unless we cut spending, no,” the former Federal Reserve chairman said Friday when asked about McCain’s proposed tax cuts, pegged in some estimates at $3.3 trillion.
“I’m not in favor of financing tax cuts with borrowed money,” Greenspan said during an interview with Bloomberg Television. “I always have tied tax cuts to spending.”
McCain has said that he would offset his proposed cuts — including reducing the corporate tax rate and eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax that has plagued middle-class families — by ending congressional pork-barrel spending, unnecessary government programs and overhauling entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
Democrats pounced on Greenspan’s comments, in part because McCain professed last year that he was weaker on economics than foreign affairs and was reading Greenspan’s memoir, “The Age of Turbulence,” to educate himself.
“Obviously he needs to go back to that book and study it some more,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said during a conference call arranged by the campaign of Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
McCaskill said eliminating congressional earmark spending — estimated at $17 billion annually — cannot offset McCain’s proposed tax cuts.
“That’s a huge amount of money, but it’s not even a drop in the bucket to pay for $3.5 trillion in tax cuts,” she said. “So, every time he throws up earmarks and he’s asked how he’s going to pay for it, he knows he’s being disingenuous, he knows he’s not being forthcoming.”
McCain campaign officials dispute the $3.3 trillion figure, saying it assumes eliminating 2003 tax cuts made by the Bush administration and then cutting from that higher level. They say McCain is proposing tax cuts worth $600 billion from current levels.
“John McCain opposed President Bush’s tax cuts in 2003, because they didn’t include the necessary spending controls. Sen. McCain’s proposed job-growing tax cuts are modest in comparison to his plans to slow the exploding growth of federal expenditures — meaning that contrary to Chairman Greenspan’s assertions, this relief isn’t proposed on borrowed money,” said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.
While McCain opposed the 2003 cuts and previous Bush administration tax cuts from 2001, he now says he would leave them intact. Obama has said he would repeal Bush tax cuts benefiting families making over $250,000 annually to pay for programs and provide middle-tax class relief.
Meanwhile, organizers of a conservative summit in Washington said McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, missed an opportunity by not addressing the gathering. Some 2,100 activists from 44 states, plus another 10,000 people who signed up to watch online, participated in the three-day Values Voter Summit.
On Saturday, McCain was less than 10 miles away, working in at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va. Palin was leaving Alaska and traveling to a rally in Reno, Nev. Last year, McCain and seven other GOP presidential candidates spoke at the summit.
“I think there is some disappointment that he’s not here. I think there’s greater disappointment that Palin is not here,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a key sponsor of the summit. “I think people would have liked to have heard from her.”
Activists attending the summit were unanimous in their enthusiasm for Palin, including several who said their support for McCain was lukewarm before he selected her.
Gary Ward, pastor of the Rocky Point Church in Stephenville, Texas, said he supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for the GOP nomination but that his enthusiasm for McCain has been increased by his choice of Palin and his recent statement that he believes life begins at conception.
“That was absolutely the right answer,” Ward said.
Elizabeth Kish, an administrative assistant from Gainesville, Fla., said she was put off by McCain’s record on immigration and was considering voting for Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr until Palin’s selection. “Once he chose Palin that was it for me,” said Kish, who was wearing a “Pro-Life Pro-Palin” button and another button featuring pictures of Chief Justice John Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito under the slogan, “The Kind of Change I Believe In.”
