Let’s examine the Barack Obama economic package in pure math numbers. The top 5% make a little shy of 3 trillion amongst them. Right now, they are paying roughly 618 billion in federal taxes. Obama wants to take another trillion from them to give to “you”. That means of the nearly 3 trillion that the top 5% make 1.62 trillion will be seized. That’s just shy of a 55% tax rate BEFORE state and local taxes. Add 5.5% for state and add .5% for local and now they are at 61% seized for taxation. Nearly 2/3 of their money will be gone. What incentive will they have to produce?
We had that in the Carter years. It was a disaster then and will be a disaster now. If Obama wins and gets his way, he will be a 4 year and out person. The pain we feel will be intense as the economy drops further, but we will make it through. In the end, the policy failures of the far left democrats will give the republicans the house and senate again. Let’s hope they do enough to deserve it this time.
Shamelessly stolen from a comment in a blog: Pelosi - Obama - Reid: The Axis of Taxes
Obama has more money than he knows what to do with.
Obama has faced almost no tough questions regarding his past associations and statements.
Obama is a post-racial, post-partisan uniter.
Obama has a free 24/7 PR operation - the MainStream Media.
Obama is running in a Democrat year.
Obama is running against four more years of the most unpopular President of all time.
Obama is running against a mentally-unstable, geriatric buffoon.
So,
How come he’s not winning?
Came across this. It’s a few months old, but dang. Hit me like a truck.
We’ll have a CoverItLive chat going on election day. It will start around 7:00pm est. Feel free to drop by for a while. Mark the calendar!
The SCOTUS only hears a fraction of all cases decided. Most constitutional cases are decided by the circuit courts. Currently, the 4th circuit is the most “true” to the constitution and it hears the most cases between the circuits. It used to be made up of Scalia, Thomas and Roberts types. Over the years some left leaning judges have been added, but the bigger problem is that there are a bunch of open seats waiting to be filled on that court. Therein lies the subject of today’s problem. Second circuit court has 4 of 13 seats open. The fourth circuit has 5 of 15 open. If Obama has a filibuster proof majority in the senate, these courts will swing to the far left over night. Imagine a court full of Souters and Ginsbergs. You can toss the constitution out if that happens. Ginsberg says the SCOTUS should use more international law and beliefs to help decide cases. Meaning, the socialist belief that is rotting Europe to the core should have some sway on US constitution based decisions. Obama is not going to move to the center when he wins. He won’t have to. He will have the house and senate to give him unlimited power.
Look at his friends and show me one that is not an America hating radical. This is who he is and what will form the basis of the judges he’ll appoint. We can block them in the Senate IF we have enough senators. 42 or more should give us that ability. 2 years from now when Obama and the democrats have shown who they really are we’ll be in position to get the house and senate back. Hopefully by then we can get our party cleaned out of the crony, corrupt and noodle spined moderate dead wood. Hopefully we can get some inspiring picks like the Palins, the Jindals and the Steeles of the party. We have a ton of work to do and there is going to be a ton of inner party blood letting to come. We can get to that later. Right now, the senators that are in trouble need help badly.
We have to move to the possibility that our best hope is to stop our losses this election. That means you do not get down. You do not stay at home. While it looks like Obama will win, he may still be beaten. If he isn’t, we need the Senate under 60 and as close to where it is. No, they may not deserve it. Elizabeth Dole certainly doesn’t inspire loyalty. However, Kay Hagan will rubber stamp anything Obama wants. Dole will at least fight some. Look at your senator. If s/he is in trouble, you need to help them out. There is a difference between cleaning house to send the party a message and burning down the whole neighborhood. Tell any Obama supporting republicans that you know of the split their vote if you can’t convince them to go McCain. Ditto any indys you find.
Look folks, the cavalry of 527’s is not coming. McCain blew that when the first ones were demonized by McCain. They figure that if McCain isn’t going to back them, then why should they waste the money. They aren’t going to help so it is up to us. Get out and vote. Obama’s people are and we need to try to close that gap. The goal now is two fold. Get McCain in if possible, minimize the losses if not. Let’s roll.
And now for something totally different… A slight distraction from the politics and the election. I present to you, Mike Mozart, the toy reviewer. The first 3 are funny. The last one is serious. Make sure you watch the last one.
Is there any doubt that we need McCain to win based on the SCOTUS decision for Ohio? I would love to see the vote breakout but I can’t help think that the 5 liberals voted to deny the GOP standing. One of our cornerstone beliefs is the right to address grievances. No bill should be allowed to pass congress that denies that and no court should uphold such a provision. There are issues that the courts will need to address in the future.
First up is the Honest Leadership and Open Government act of 2006. This was a Nancy Pelosi bill that forced grass roots groups to register with the federal government before they could lobby congress. Remember that campaign to overturn the immigration amnesty program using email alerts and faxes? It could be illegal under this act.
Basically if you reach 500 people with a political message, you have to register with the federal government. If they don’t like you, they can deny you that right. If you violate it, the first offenses are fines. Afterward, it’s jail. Gulags anyone? Don’t think it can happen? Well, neither was campaign finance reform. Look, free speech is a right only as long as 5 justices say it is. 4 would absolutely kill HR4682, but 5 upheld McCain-Feingold. Do you think that the liberals would hesitate to kill free speech if it benefited liberal governance? I personally believe that Ginsberg, Stevens, Breyer and Souter would uphold Gitmo if it was Obama doing it and would uphold a Gitmo style holding for Americans that crossed an Obama government. They are corrupt. All of them. Don’t go on thinking this can’t happen. It passed both the House and Senate but fortunately, the committees couldn’t reconcile it and it died before the package vote. W threatened to veto it but then again, he also said that about campaign finance. Do you think Obama would veto it?
This bill included blogs, forwarded emails, mass mailings, commercials and face to face talks from political movements like door to door visits. We laugh at Canada and it’s lack of free speech and its Human Rights Council. It won’t be too long until we could have the same thing here. The seeds for tyranny are being sown. They just need to grow. America needs to get its weed killer out before it grows too much.
What say you?
A brief timeline of the thug Odinga:
In 1982, he was involved in a coup attempt in Kenya. He was convicted and served 8 years in jail. He denied his involvement until the statue of limitations had expired. Then in his book, he boasts of it. Had he been convicted of masterminding it, he goes bye bye.
2006 - Obama campaigns in Kenya for Odinga opposing our current ally in the Kenyan government. This government has helped us round up terrorists in the region. They have been one of the few stable governments in Africa. The State department calls him naive.
1. He will implement Sharia courts in the areas that are 40% or more muslim within 6 months.
2. He will expand it to nation wide in 12 months.
3. He will implement islamic law including female dress codes. Even non-muslim women must comply
4. All religions outside of Islam will be banned from the public.
December 2007 - Odinga loses by 200k votes (1.2%). Odinga refuses to accept result and urges his followers to take the streets and riot.
December 2007/January 2008 - Muslims killing Christians, Hindus, Atheists, etc. Women and children are hacked to death by machettes.
In one case, women and children were locked into an assemblies of God church after the men were killed. The church was burned to the ground and the women and children inside were burned alive. Any who escaped the flames where machetted to death.
Another international thug supported by Obama.
But hey, you don’t need to know about that. Sarah Palin bought some new nail polish and that is much more important since no one buys nail polish. What a terrible woman…
This is a thread at the hillaryclintonforum.net. Read through it. It’s not long.
==================================Begin thread===========================
The following is an email I received from a friend today. She doesn’t know exactly who polled her, just somebody that asked her if she minded being polled.
Quote:
Last night when we were watching tv, I got a phone call, asking if I would do a political poll. I said yes..I wanted to hear questions to get an idea about how they are polling.
The started off asking if I would be likely to vote. THEN, they asked my age. When I told them, they said, is there anyone in the house who is a voter who is younger than 55? When I said no, they didn’t ask any more questions.
My take on this is that they only wanted young voters because they’re for Obama. I think this is a good sign for McCain.
———————————————————————
I’ve heard some stories that are similar to this. When the pollster doesn’t recieve the answers they are looking for…….the next thing you hear is the dial tone. I heard it on talk radio last week. Several callers.

SSOA had this on another thread as a sig quote.Scares hell out of me,considering how he is so after the youth in our country.

Thanks, michu, for letting us know. Yes, I think the polling is very skewed all over the country and this incident is proof that - If you’re in a “Mac demographic’ then we don’t want your response
———————————————————————-
Hey thats ok as long as it is represented as only being a poll of that age group. It is a problem if it is sold as general population polls or mixed in with a general population poll. Question wording aside.

Well if this is so this is an awsome question becaue there are actually millions whom will turm of ss age in 2011 millions ! I remeber reading that when they wee talking about the fear of the future of SS !

Wow, maybe this type of polling practice is really Slanting the results of these polls.

This is a great point. The campaigns internal polling doesn’t match what is being done by outside pollsters. The media is intent on pressing the Obama early victory story. All I can say is remember what the media and her own party did to Hillary.

We have a family friend who is over 70 years old and she got a call recently from a pollster. The pollster asked to speak “to the youngest person of voting age in the household”. When our friend laughed and announced that she was the youngest, the caller hung up.
Must be the new strategy…

He’s counting on the young people to carry the day. I wish we could set up a free beer stand about 100 yards from all the polling places. They’d soon be too drunk to care about going to vote for their savior.
———————————————————————-
Do you want to know the reason for this?
They are worried because in early voting the 18-24 year old age group has been noicably ABSENT from the lines. They have to know what’s up.
At least all of the elrlier talk of the young first time voters turning out en-mass for Obama is not holding true. It is almost never bragged about anymore.
=========================End Thread===============================
Ok, that last comment is the key one for me. I haven’t been able to locate anything to back this up. I’ve heard the early voters are breaking even between Mccain and Obama, but have not seen anything on the “motivated youth” not turning out.
Has anyone heard this? I’d post a challenge to him asking for a link, but registration has been disabled and I can’t sign up. Anyone know anything about this supposition?
So this video was created by one of the Hillary Clinton P.U.M.A. people. She’s declaring “go ahead and call me racist. I don’t care. I’m not voting Barack”
I hope there are millions more like her…
Here’s a video of the Obama/Odinga relationship. Really good job.
I just sent her the following:
One day you’ll be alone, away from hordes of adoring liberals professing admiration for your vision, and the reality will strike - that you have become a self-parody. And then you’ll realize that they don’t admire you. You’re simply a useful idiot.

Dan Rather here. In keeping with my trying to become relevant again, I have agreed to cover the Canine Party convention. Apparently Obarkillary went to a bunch of ACORN hippies and told them that if they didn’t get the Canine party some TV time for it’s convention, that the dogs would sniff out all their drugs and rat them out to the police. Already having FBI problems, they were able to secure a time slot. It appears that vp nominee Edwardsina will be speaking first.

(sad voice) Swishy tail…. You’re all I have left that’s beautiful. Swishy tail…. Swishy tail…..

Come on Edwardsina. I know she had you shaved, but you have to give your speech. Besides, it’s not so bad being shaved. You’ll get used to it.

Oh, I’m going to give that speech alright. I will give it and I’m going to mess her up. She’s messed with the wrong dog.

No, don’t do anything dumb. You’ll blow the election.

Um, yeah, if you haven’t noticed, we’re dogs. We had 6 votes in 2004. Like I can deny us any votes. Besides, America loves a good train wreck.

Yeah, I know, but y’all are paying me, so I have to advise you to be good and give a good speech or you’ll blow the election.

Here comes Edwardsina to the podium. Let’s see what she says.

HA! Nice Hair! Dang girl, you shaved her good!

I’m a dog of action. She knows who’s boss! You wouldn’t believe the money we’ve saved on haircuts. It allowed me to hire Carville.

My fellow Americans. I am proud to accept your nomination as VP of the Canine party. I started in this party many years ago and haven’t gone away. And there is a reason for that. You see, just when it seems I am done, I rise again and attack.

WTF? This isn’t her prepared speech. What is she doing?

And this time, I am going to strike back at she who humiliated me! Shave me will you. I demand to be made the presidential candidate. I have proof that Obarkillary is a law breaking pervert.

You think we have a chance? HA! Not with this perv we don’t. Our presidential nominee is a member of NAPDLA! The North American Puppy Dog Love Association.

Oh no. No freaking way. She isn’t…

Here! Look at this picture. Look at what a sickening pervert she is!

Holy crud. I’ve been framed! I didn’t even know who that was. I woke up and bam. I’m like “who the heck are you?”. I feel ill. No comment.

I demand that you bounce her and nominate me as presidential candidate for the party!

Well, that came out of nowhere. I think the odds of Obarkillary keeping the nomination are slim and none and slim has just left the building. Kind of like my odds of ever being taken seriously again.

You do realize that when they find that I’m a full grown midget hired by you they’re going to kill you.

Hey, she could have told you no. You want to be my VP pick?
Have you heard of the 1978 Eagleton-Biden amendment?
Biden co-wrote an amendment with Eagleton to ban federal funds for busing of students beyond their school district for de-segregation purposes. He didn’t want his kids to have to go to school with “those kids” (i.e., black kids). Carter signed it after it passed the senate 51-42. The democrats had 61 seats in the Senate at the time, so even if every Republican voted for it, 13 democrats had to support it too and since it was a democrat that brought the amendment in, you have to believe that more did.
We know what the kind of tattoo Palin has on her foot and how she got it (big dipper, lost a bet to her husband) but we don’t get to know this? We know everything she says on the trail as it’s parsed over and over for any kind of racial rhetoric, but this is not worth covering?
If Palin had supported anything near this in Alaska, we’d have heard lies about her klan meetings and the works. I guess Barack Obama, the new arbiter of racial intent, said it was ok.
America is just learning the truth: Barack Obama is black! I guess we didn’t know that. The media and the Obamatons keep telling us that his recent fall in the polls is due to his race. So when Obama had a 6 point lead in the polls after his convention he was actually white? Was he white when he dispatched Hillary and the 9 dwarfs back in the primaries? He was white during the mortgage crisis that allowed him to extend to a double digit lead in some polls?
Seriously, we keep hearing this line of BS that Obama is falling in polls because whites don’t trust or won’t vote for a black person. Well, I’m pretty sure he was still black in February when he led 49-45 over McCain. Over and over, Obama won all polls over McCain during the spring and summer. Now the halo has fallen off the Obamessiah and he’s falling in the polls. The race is tightening and the media and Obama campaign would have you believe it is due to Americans suddenly making the major discovery that Obama is black.
Senator Obama, a lot of people are not voting for you. It’s not that you are black. It’s because you are a flip-flopping, immoral, elitist, snobby socialist that no one with a brain would trust to watch their dog let alone watch the country. But go ahead and make the race charge. You’re not too bright, not very experienced and have no leadership qualities that give confidence. Race cards are all you have and you best deal them as much as you can in the next 15 days.
