Who was pushing home ownership?
“We can put light where there’s darkness, and hope where there’s despondency in this country. And part of it is working together as a nation to encourage folks to own their own home.” — President Bush, Oct. 15, 2002

"Of course, she doesn't offer up a single study or "academic work" as any kind of proof, and yet, when I say her assertion is absurd, Fox News anchor Greg Jarrett starts laughing at me - as if my assertion that FDR's New Deal helped end the Great Depression is so fantastical as to prompt guffawing. Jarrett proceeds to state that historians "pretty much agree" that FDR prolonged the Great Depression, and resorts to insisting that he knows that's true because "it's in the books" - whatever the hell that means. Indeed, Fox wants...."

The solution...
Call Their Bluff! Tie CEO pay in the U.S. to CEO pay in Europe and Japan
who promoted home ownership?
"It was June 17, 2002, a day Mr. West recalls as “the highlight of my life.” Mr. Bush, in Atlanta to unveil a plan to increase the number of minority homeowners by 5.5 million, was touring Park Place South, a development of starter homes in a neighborhood once marked by blight and crime."
How it happened...
For much of the Bush presidency, the White House was preoccupied by terrorism and war; on the economic front, its pressing concerns were cutting taxes and privatizing Social Security. The housing market was a bright spot: ever-rising home values kept the economy humming, as owners drew down on their equity to buy consumer goods and pack their children off to college.

The Republicans had better hope they don't change Senate rules to eliminate the fillibuster :-)) Cus the American people have turned on the wackoright. :-))
Better than Sadam...
Since when is this our standard of behavior??? Since when does America say "Doesn't matter if he is brutally beaten in police custody for throwing a SHOE. We are a little less bad than one of the nastiest dictators in history. So get grateful you weasels" ??? That is not the American standard. George Washington set the standard in our war of independence, when he declared that no US serviceman will mistreat prisoners... America did not torture before Dubya and it will not torture after Dubya, and the WackoRight's consistently comparing our great nation to Sadam's brutality is disgusting.
Dangerous Contacts!!! Ironic smile
The WackoRight has no idea how to begin to deal with the crises that America is facing... so they blabber on and on and on about Blagojovich... and Ayers... and... anything else that will keep people from noticing they have NO SOLUTIONS for our problems. Do NOT vote Republican.

Who is Republican McCain?
In 2000 he was against tax cuts for the rich. Now he supports them.
A few years ago he was against torturing people. Now he is in favor.
A few years ago he called Pat Roberston an agent of intolerance. Now he's his best friend.
Republican John McCain claims to fight against the corrupt lobbyists, yet he hires large numbers of them to do very powerful jobs, including Campaign Manager, and Head of the Transition Team.
Republican John McCain claims to fight against earmarks and pork-barrel spending and yet he nominates the Queen of Republican Pork to be Vice President.
Republican John McCain tells us for months that experience is critical to the job and Obama doesn't have it, then he nominates a beauty queen, historically the least qualified person ever to get that close to the Presidency.
Republican John McCain wrote a bill to liberalize immigration into the USA, then when it came up for a vote, he voted against his own bill.
Who is this guy?
What does he believe?
It is, I'm afraid, anybody's guess.
The Earth is Round
“Certainly for me the turning point was McCain's selection of Palin. As some liberal blogger somewhere put it, "McCain Loses Key 'Earth is Round' Demographic" with his Palin pick. I've been a Libertarian for 30 years, but always assumed if I didn't vote Libertarian I'd vote Republican. This time I'm voting for Obama. I've never seen such a clear choice in my life.”
Responding to McCain's question
“Why does he want to raise taxes on anybody?” My Dear Republican McCain (I will not call you my friend as you always call me), have you heard of the 10 trillion dollar Republican curse on our grandchildren? Did you know that another 500billion has been added to 10 trillion dollar Republican curse on our grandchildren just in 2008? Duyba has been borrowing from the Chinese to finance his war in Iraq. Who is gonna pay for that war? Joe the Plumber? People who make less than Joe the Plumber? Or maybe people who make more than Joe the Plumber? Is this all over your head? You said Economics was not your strong suit, didn’t you? Ask Governor Palin. She got a D in Economics 101. Surely she can explain it to you.
Was the tax burden on the rich sooooo horrible during the Clinton years that our economy collapsed? Nope. 8 years of peace and prosperity. Dubya hasn’t quite pulled that trick off, eh?
Why Republican McCain do you think that Joe’s boss should get 10 times more in tax breaks than Joe himself?

Simple tax logic. Wow.
Let's get real about redistribution
"Taxes are always a redistribution of money," the retired general (Colin Powell) told reporters on Sunday after endorsing the Democratic candidate. “Most of the taxes that are redistributed go back to the ones who pay it. In roads, in airports, in hospitals, in schools, and taxes are necessary for the common good.”

Who is the Republican Party?
"They (Republicans) will need to answer fundamental questions: What does it mean to be a Republican? Do Republicans support laissez-faire or nationalized banking? Do Republicans support a balanced budget or half-trillion-dollar deficits? Do Republicans want a "humble foreign policy" like George W. Bush, or preventive war against countries that pose no threat, like, umm, George W. Bush? Are Republicans the party of limited government or a vast Medicare prescription drug benefit? Are they wary of Big Brother or eager to expand warrantless wiretaps? Do they support Christian values or torture? Are they the party that believes that cutting-edge technology can shoot a missile out of the sky or the party that believes humans and dinosaurs walked the earth simultaneously?"
Maybe after they answer these questions, a reasonable voter will be able to decide.
Until then the big unanswered question of this election is:
"Who is the Republican Party?"

If they hate God...
"Apparently, as the GOP faces utter humiliation at the ballot box on November 4, it has become the fashion to tar, smear and slander their fellow Americans.
Trailing handily in the polls to Democrat Larry Kissell, who nearly beat him in 2006, GOP Rep. Robin Hayes has become the latest to go the full Bachmann. Emphasis added:
He yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to "make sure we don't say something stupid, make sure we don't say something we don't mean." Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of "inciting class warfare" and said that "liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God."
Hmmm. Good work on, er, "not saying something stupid", Robin, old boy.
So if I understand correctly, this is Robinho's thesis:
- Liberals are not "real Americans"
- Liberals hate Real Americans
- Liberals hate work
- Liberals hate those who achieve
- Liberals hate belief in God.
Actually, rather than simply "going the full Bachmann", Hayes appears to have boldly gone where even Bachmanns fear to tread.
By the way, Hayes' Democratic opponent in this race, Larry Kissell, is a longtime textile worker, social studies teacher, graduate of Wake Forest University, father of two children, and a deacon in the First Baptist Church in Biscoe, North Carolina.
And in two short weeks, he will be the man who kicked Robin Hayes out of Congress on his ass, and brought decency and civility back to the political arena in the Eighth District."

about Joe the Plumber by someone already in business
So Joe is concerned with purchasing a business that will "make" $250,000 per year and how he will be taxed. As the owner of a small construction company, let me tell you. First, if your gross receipts are $250,000, you can optimistically net 20% - and that's optimistically after all expenses. So now we get $50,000 of taxable income.
But if you are saying your company will have net profits of $250,000, that means your company grosses $1,250,000. (Really). So let's calculate your taxes using the current tax rate of 36% - $90,000. Let's now calculate taxes at Obama's proposed increase to 39% - $97,500 - an increase of $7,500 a year.
Joe, good luck on that business and let me know when it starts making $1,250,000 million!
Joe the Plumber Honestly
Spread the wealth around???
And [don't believe me, do the research yourself. you will find that it is all true] from 1932 until the early 1980's the gap between the rich and the poor was closing. More and more poor people were joining the middle class. More and more Americans could afford to own their own homes. More and more Americans could afford to send their kids to college. There was really a growing middle class. Maybe the rich didn't do so well. Maybe some rich families had to do without 10 servants and had to settle for only 5. Tough life.
Since Ronald Reagan took office the gap between the rich and poor has been increasing [the statistics are easily available from a wide variety of sources. go and find them if you don't believe me]. That means a smaller middle class. Sure... some bet correctly on the stock market and got rich. Others lost their jobs due to off-shoring. Some kept their jobs but with the prices of food, gas, higher education, and medical treatment skyrocketing, their salaries buy much less now. They are joining the ranks of the poor.
"Wealth transfer" is a funny name for it. But look at the reality. Long-term government taxation policies have a huge impact on our society. We have to ask ourselves.... "What kind of society do we want to be?" Do we want to have an upper class living in castles while the rest of us work as servants? Or to we want a strong healthy middle-class working hard to build our nation to even greater greatness?
Republican McCain's idea that the rich need even more tax breaks now... when our country hasn't even begun to pay for Dubya's War for the WMDs... is absurd.
Republican McCain's idea that the rich need even more tax breaks now... when they have already received trillions over the years from Republican Reagan and Republican Dubya... is just stupid.
Republican McCain's idea that the rich need even more tax breaks now... begs the question... Why tax the rich at all? Why should they pay anything? I mean, it's not like they are members of our society, right? :-)
Raise my taxes?!?!?
Joe the Plumber is really rich.
If he seriously has the means to buy a business, which has a taxable income of $250,000 per year, then as business prices generally go he would likely pay 1.75 million dollars for that business.
If Joe has that kind of money I am very happy for him. But back to Joe’s original question… Won’t Barack Obama raise his taxes? Well, if he has a taxable income of $250,000 per year under the Obama plan his taxes will go up two percent.
How would you feel about a taxable income of a quarter million dollars a year? Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Is it 5 times as much as YOU make? Do you feel that someone like Joe the Plumber, who makes 5 times more money than you, could contribute a little more to help pay for the War for Weapons of Mass Destruction which never existed? (Dubya has been borrowing from the Chinese in order finance it so far. So now WE will have to pay for it with interest)
Maybe Joe the Plumber wants people who make 5 times LESS money than he does, to finance the War for WMD’s. Do you?
Ask you friends and neighbors these questions. I think it is important to have these answers BEFORE we go to vote on Nov 4th.

The Resumés
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually critical election year. The idea of “leadership” must be broadened from mere “experience” to include knowledge, learnedness and insight.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
Now, which team are you going to hire ?

Free market wisdom
The Republicans have been saying for 30 years that Government regulation is the problem. Republican McCain and Republican Greenspan have been effectively deregulating Wall Street to the point that the investment banks basically slashed each other up with machetes (derivitives and other worthless paper or toxic assets, whatever you want to call it) and so now we have a banking sector so hacked to pieces that it cannot provide the necessary services that our citizens and enterpeneurs need to keep us out of The Second Great Depression.
It is time to nationalize all the insolvent banks, throw out their managers and confiscate the millions that they pocketed while driving their industry beyond the point of collapse.
Do not believe anything any Republican tells you. Their disinformation and misinformation about the economy is just as worthless as their boasting "There is no doubt that Sadam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction"

"If Bill Ayers is such a detestable man, why was he allowed to be a member of the Annenberg Foundation?"
[this question borrowed from http://stephencrosehome.blogspot.com/]
Follow Andy Martin
From a NY Times article about Andy Martin:
'But an appearance in a documentary-style program on the Fox News Channel watched by three million people last week thrust the man, Andy Martin, and his past into the foreground. The program allowed Mr. Martin to assert falsely and without challenge that Mr. Obama had once trained to overthrow the government...
...When questions were raised last week about Mr. Martin’s appearance and claims on “Hannity’s America” on Fox News, the program’s producer said Mr. Martin was clearly expressing his opinion and not necessarily fact.'
So if I went on "Fair and Balanced" Fux News [there would also be a program called "Colmes' America" and not just "Hannity's wackoright view of America"] and said that McCain had actually trained in North Vietnam to undermine capitalism from within by becoming US President, nobody would question my facts, or my sanity, and when questioned about it later Fox News would just say that was clearly my opinion, right?

Ayers and the bizzare thinking of the WackoRight
"The Committee/Board on which Obama and Ayers served was composed of 22 members, from both Republican and Democratic parties. It was funded by a grant of $50 million from Walter Annenberg and his wife (now his widow), both of whom were important Republican Party donors. The Annenberg Foundation, a communications organization, is still functioning mainly at the University of Pennsylvania under Kathleen Hall Jameson.
To follow the "thinking" of the McBush-Shrieking Sarah campaign, it must be true that the Annenbergs, the University of Illinois, the City of Chicago, all the said Board members, and the University of Pennsylvania are palling around with a domestic terrorist. The lunatics who enjoy Sarah's irresponsible bilge as much as Sarah herself enjoys spewing it, will pay no attention to this fallacy. Sarah and her adoring loons speak volumes about her and their mental states."

We, Republicans of the WackoRight have messed up not just everything in foreign affairs, but now we have brought on the second great depression, so get really scared now, and fork over another 700 billion dollars to my buddies at the investment banks [in addition to the 1.1 trillion I have already doled out there to Freddie and Fannie and Bear Stearns etc] which is really not so much when you consider that the cost of the war of WMDs which never existed will cost over 3 trillion of your money, but my tax cuts need to be permanent, and regulation is NOT ever necessary for any reason..... I encourage you all to go shopping more....

Since you so rarely do interviews and dodge most questions you get during the few that you do, I can see that you don't like the media. That is OK. Let's dodge the media entirely and you can answer citizens' questions directly right here on this blog. Since you are completely unknown to the vast majority of the 300 million American citizens it may take a while for you to answer all these questions. I suggest you get started soon.
Readers and citizens please feel free to ad your concerns and questions for Ms Palin in the comments below...
1. If elected will you be taking your Kenyan witch doctor with you to the White House? What role will he play in a Republican McCain-Palin administration?
2. Did you actually hear of the existence of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for the first time Three Weeks ago?
3. Do you believe in the separation of church and state?
4. How will your belief that the end of the world is coming soon effect the way you would govern should something happen to a President McCain?
5. Do you feel that residents of Miami Florida, being sooooo close to Cuba are as qualified in foreign relations as you and the other 8000 people from Wasilla?

This is not leadership we can trust.
Qualified?
“Mrs Palin, who has been the governor of a state with a population of 670,000 for less than two years, is the most inexperienced candidate for a mainstream party in modern history.”

Is religion a problem?
NOT Roe v Wade
We must think and discuss these things as if Palin will be the next president.
Forget Roe v Wade for a minute... and think about election chaos.... Dubya needed Florida, so some Republican officials in Florida created enough confusion, then refused to do a recount, then went to court to sue to stop a recount... and the US Supreme court in the end said "Well, there ain't enough time fer a recount anyway, the principle of the Electoral College meeting on Wednesday is much more important than some stupid old 'count every vote' ".... What is to stop that same scenario happening in every election for the next 20 or 30 years??? Democrats on the Supreme Court. and we will never get them with a President and First Dude Palin.
Who do you hire?
You do not say "Well, lotsa people don't know what a screen pass is".
You want the best coach you can get. One with knowledge. One who is not afraid to be tested. One who is willing to answer all your questions. One who doesn't go back on his word about welcoming the investigation into allegations of wrongdoing.
McCain and health care

Victory?
Victory will come my friends!!!! Fearless Beauty Queen Palin [who is scared only of reporters and of questions about governing which mostly make her poop her pants] will find the weapons and declare victory!!!!!
Elite?
Has your job been offshored??
Barack Obama has real experience, on the ground, working with people in neighborhoods that suffer because of a plant closure. Community organizing is a great way to understand what is happening in the real America....
McCain had some real historic service in Vietnam. Then he left his disfigured wife, married a beatifull heiress and spent the next 40 years hobnobbing with the rich and famous and the Washington Elites. The man has 9 houses. His wife spent $300,000 on an outfit to wear one night at the convention...
Which candidate understands what it is like to have student loans?
The most liberal??
Boys and girls… Reality… Senator Sanders is by far the most liberal and has been for years now. The Republican noise machine is lying to you. They think you are stupid.
