I missed it due to a graduate class :( so I wondered if anyone else had seen it. I was surprised not to see anything posted here about it. If you did watch it what did you think? Good? Bad? Valuable info? Waste of time? Are you planning to watch McCain later tonight?

McCain will cut taxes and grow jobs...and Obama's a socialist. : )


Thank you for the laugh! :-)


>>> It's funny you mention Joe the Plumber strategy, he would actually benefit from Obama's tax plan.


No, not really. As an employee, there's a chance he could lose his job. As an employer with even a minimally successful business, he'd have his taxes raised and possibly be fined 6% of the employees wages if he didn't provide health insurance. His cost of doing business would also rise across the board.





There is more chance of him loosing his job now in this economy than there is if Obama creates more jobs by gives tax cuts to companies creating jobs in the US!

Then, when the opportunity permits I'm sure you can "get in the face" of people face to face. Hopefully you'll be able to find some smaller and more timid people who you can convince in this manner...


Or, well...she may encounter someone who is far from timid & find her nose in contact with a fist, lol.

No problem...sure beats the cries of woe that will echo across the country if Barry gets elected and enacts his job-killer policies and spends us into a depression.

McCain didn't create "this economy"...the Dems did...or at least they own the lion's share.

>>> than there is if Obama creates more jobs by gives tax cuts to companies creating jobs in the US!

Could you specify McCain's tax plan and how that is going to help me as a middle class worker? And how is his tax plan going to help our current economy? I said specifics, not opinons or assumptions.


And while you are at it, could you explain the healthcare he is proposing? I can't afford to shop around the states, I need my healthcare in my state, and I need all my pre-existing conditions covered too.


I am going to have a party after "Barry" gets elected. I am even planning on going to the Inaguration on January 20th! :-)

So, what's the excuse for so many jobs being LOST in the Bush Administration? Over 800,000 this year.

Well, since I believe I said several times I was making phone calls, getting in someone's "face" is somewhat remote if not down right impossible.

Distractions from real things are what McCain campaign is used to. It's actually amusing to watch. LOL

I don't think the personal attack and editorializing rules apply in this instance.

The Democrats "screwed the pooch" when they created and defended sub-prime lending. Their "chickens came home to roost"...all over everybody. Thanks Barney Frank!
