heard a commerical the other day on the radio in Indy. It said that mccain was not going to give any tax cuts to the middle class. It also stated that if Obama is elected, he will give 3x that amount to the middle class! Now i may not be the best at math, but it seems like to me, that 3*0 is still um.... 0. Does the man think we are stupid?

Bobby Jindal in 2012..let Obama have his fun and run up a bigger deficit..it will be the price we pay to show that Socialist Democrats arent the answer and never will be..it also takes Clinton out of the running for 2012.
Jindal has an extraordinary life story. His given first name is Piyush, but at age 4 he decided to change it to Bobby. In high school, he abandoned his parents' Hindu faith and converted to Catholicism. (His father is an engineer, his mother an assistant secretary in the Louisiana state labor department.) By the time he graduated from Baton Rouge High School, Jindal was a Republican. When he got to Brown--an eight-year medical program had attracted him--he naively asked about joining the College Republicans. There was no chapter at Brown. The Republican club Jindal subsequently helped found grew, he says, to 300 members, a surprisingly large membership for a liberal Ivy League school.His post-Brown career has been dizzying. Instead of pursuing medicine, Jindal studied at Oxford for two years as a Rhodes Scholar, worked the next two years for McKinsey, the business consulting firm, and at age 24 returned to Baton Rouge to take over, at Foster's urging, the mammoth Department of Health and Hospitals. There, he transformed a $400 million deficit into a $220 million surplus...
He's issued lengthy position papers on health care, ethics, economic opportunity, the environment, schools, and religious faith. These were packaged together last week in a glossy 24-page booklet entitled "The Jindal Blueprint for Louisiana--A Bold New Vision." Most notable is the section on "defending the role of faith and values in our state." In it, he tells how a friend led him to Christian faith. "Today, my faith in Jesus Christ is central to who I am, and I pray regularly for God's wisdom in all the parts of my life," he says.
Jindal says he became a Republican as a teenager for two reasons. In Louisiana, with its history of political corruption, Republicans are the reform party. Also, they're the champions of opportunity. "I'd seen what great opportunity my father had [in America] as an engineer," he said in an interview. His mother has succeeded in state government, he said, and "I'm running for governor. This is an amazing country."
As Yogi Berra said of the election of a Jewish mayor of Dublin, "Only in America."

Care to explain why we have a 10 Trillion Dollar debt; it's currently going up 3.8 Billion a day and the deficit is at 440 Billion(projected to rise)?
Keep in mind that this is after 8 years of a Republican/Conservative president and 6(of 8) years of the Republicans/Conservatives controlling both houses. Proceed.
Edit: Also, what/who is the answer, if "Socialist Democrats" are not?
Originally posted by BackFirePalin's not running in 2012, not even if McCain wins. Or if she does she won't make it out of the primary. I guarantee it.
He'll have to run against Palin in 2012, probably. I'm sure she'll want to capitalize on her popularity.Jindal would probably win against her, he'd be an infinitely stronger candidate.
McCain's tax plan would run up larger deficits than Obama's tax plan; even accounting for larger levels of spending in Obama's policies iirc.
On an aside, it amazes and somewhat baffles me that people can be complaining about making ends meet while giving $150 million to a political candidate; who as far as I'm aware is all but a given now on election day.

More than $400 billion of the money over the next 10 years would take the form of refundable tax credits paid in cash to people who already pay no federal income tax.
Can we all agree that Obama IS all for Redistribution of Wealth?
Idk what else to call raising taxed on the richest 5% of this country while GIVING free money to the poor who pay nothing in taxes.
I suppose its wrong of me to have principles though and be against people getting something for nothing.

Some people are losing 25% of their IRA's in the economy right now..so much for caring about the retiree or poor working man.
And I thought taxes wouldnt go up for anyone making under 250k? Or this isnt raising taxes..this is a NEW tax!

What it is is you believe Obama to be a socialist, and since you watch FOX, you associate that with evil and stupid, even though socialism isn't a bad idea.

Well, if you don't want the coloureds knocking on your door, come to take your monies, you best vote for Obomber. See, everyone who votes for him is sent an email explaining that he will not be taking their money; just the people's money who didn't vote for him.
