Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Was FF spouting off just last month about how he was going to be voting for Obama? What the farg?

I still don't know what I'm going to do when I step into the booth, and it probably won't matter in North Carolina anyway.  But the point is that voting for Obama would really not make any sense for a white guy with a six-figure household income.

I fit that category and he's the only cadidate I would even consider voting for. But clearly, our priorities are different.

Why doesn't Obama have a chance in WV?

Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. "I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president," he said.

Far be it from me to try to put words in this hillbilly's toothless mouth, but I suspect what his under-developed brain thought it was saying was he wanted someone who has fought for America, sacrificed for America, and shed blood while defending America.  It's just that what his brain thought, and what came out of his mouth, didn't quite jive.

Again, just a guess.  He could just be a racist icehole.

That's comforting to me.

wait a minute, they let wesr virginia vote?

wait a minute, they let wesr virginia vote?

if they let semi-literate jews from north philly vote, they have to let wes(t) virginians vote too.

it's the law or something.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

At least this primary is proving that Democrats have plenty of dumbass inbred racists in their ranks.

Firstly, he makes it clear that he's going to roll back the Bush tax cuts.

Yes, because clearly these have been great for the country.

The poor and the middle class aren't going to pull us out of this mountain of recession and debt. Who has the money to do this? Where's it going to come from? Let me think about this. Hmm....is it the middle class and the poor who are barely able to make ends meet nowadays, or is it the wealthy who have benefited most from the "Bush tax cuts"?

Your "Robin Hood" Socialism won't work in America.  The truly rich will continue to avoid tax liability through all legal  and nearly-legal means, thanks to a complicated and confounded tax code that rewards people with teams of lawyers.  So, really you have people in the upper middle class footing the bill for people in the lower middle class and around the poverty line.

The inherent motivation and hope of people to improve their standing will be removed, and the separation of the rich and the poor will be even more pronounced.

Again, I would have no problems with the theory of taking from the rich to give to the poor if any of the current or proposed government programs actually did so without wasting a massive chunk of time and money in the process and bankrupting the middle class.  But, the government farging sucks at what they do, tossing out a lot of money for little result.  Kind of like the skins' front office.

So your mindset is "The country is farged, might as well vote for the guy less likely to try to change the way things are done."

Makes perfect sense.

I agree that many or most of the very wealthy do their very best to pay as little taxes as possible. These people still provide the vast majority of governmental income though - And the gap between the classes still increases.

Again, who is going to pay our debt? The lower classes cannot afford it. The middle class can only afford about a buck-and-a-half.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Nope.  He's the guy less likely to try to have the government spend more of my family's money on bureaucracy.

If his policies weren't completely backwards from my opinion of our government, I'd feel great about voting for him... But for all his talk of uniting parties, he's a really severe tax and spend Democrat.

Money for a never-ending war > money for well meaning programs?

I think mister FF is just playing devil's advocate. I don't think he even believes what he's saying anymore.
