Atrocious to Smear a Private Citizen
| Thu, 10-16-2008 - 4:22pm |
I think it is atrocious for the press to try to smear a private citizen who merely used his first amendment rights to question a candidate! He didn't ask for all this attention, and he has not stated who he will be voting for, but since John McCain received some points in the debate last night about an exchange "Joe the Plumber" had with Barack Obama the press is out to destroy this man. Good Grief! The man is a plumber! An average citizen. Now the left wing is trying to vilify him like he's George Bush! How HORRIBLE! And the extremists on the left seem to be following in lock step. No compassion for an ordinary man UNLESS he shares their socialist viewpoint. This is about as dirty as it gets!

It would seem that you missed the point of the quote that you chose to post:
"You know this whole thing is ridiculous. Here's what 0bama said..
Everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business, you’re starting to think, “Beijing looks like a pretty good option.”
He was referring to their economy and infrastructure, which as I showed in my previous post, that it was a socialist market economy. Geesh!!!"
This is not a support of a socialist regime - it is simple business sense. Businesses tend to look for good operating systems when they are expanding. The fact that China has spent money on their infrastructure makes China more attractive than a country, such as the US, which by some accounts has a crumbling infrastructure. My firm does quite a bit of work with assessing infrastructure and I can tell you the situation in the US is pretty bleak at the moment. Frankly I am impressed by a presidential candidate that recognizes improvements in infrastructure will be needed if we are to improve our economy, and not too impressed that the president that I helped elect into office has not seen that correlation.
I was inquiring about where you got the information that Obama had voted against middle class tax cuts.
