Secondly I know who said it, the other person on the show was a Clinton supporter, those where all Dems. on that show.
Finally you show yourself for the person you really are. I did not want to take it anywhere, it was obvious what you were trying to pull with this video. Clinton tried to bring down Obama with lack of experience, she failed, McCain tried to bring him down, he failed, and now you the third stooge is trying and guess what, you failed.
Obama is going to be President, post all your video and BS from now still election day 2016. Because that is the next time you will have a hope of seeing a Republican president.

on another note, i recently heard john mccain say "america didnt become the best nation in the world by having its citizens give their money to governmentand letting them decide what to do with it" - this guy must really think the federal government started in 1980

TBone you know what he has done in the senate becuase I know you've looked.

Obama hasn't "gained" ground in awhile, more like McCain "losing" ground. Obama has been hovering around 49-50% for a couple weeks.

We'll see at election day. Those polls are irrelevant in my eyes considering people can say anything over the phone, but strictly looking at the polls,Obama's lead has been decreasing and will most likely continue.
Obama's performance wasn't that great in the debate either, he's just running out the clock.
I don't see anything drastic happening if Obama becomes president, he wont be able to accomplish much on important issues.
National Health Care? Where will the money come from? Will never happen, why? AMA, ADA, and powerful influences from pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
Raising Income Tax Rate, Income/Payroll Tax, Capital Gains, Taxes on Dividends, and instituting an Estate Tax (death tax) in 2010 where he will be taxing adead person.
Tax breaks for 95%? Yeah that's good, until the companies start over pricing the cost of goods or better yet even laying off the worker, in which casethose "reimbursement checks" will just go to to cover the compensated mark ups in prices.
Over the next 2 years people will realize "Hey, up until the Dems took control of the House and Senate, the market was well over 14,000 points and then wevote them in and now looked what happened. Democrats were at the forefront of the scandal, like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, oh and don't forget BarackObama collected the most money from CountryWide and received second behind Chris Dodd at Fannie Mae.But eff it, George W. Bush is the devil, it's entirelyon him, it's all his fault, that crazy nut from Texas."

1. If you actually took the time to educate yourself on the issues from BOTH sides in this election, like actually read up a bit on Obama'shealth plan without injecting your biases, you'd understand that to throw the stump-speech catchphrase "national healthcare" out there is grosslymisleading and over-simplifying Obama's approach to healthcare. But I understand that would require a modicum of objectivity and tolerance of an opposingviewpoint.
2. Again, more hyperbole and emotion-baiting (i.e. "death tax"). Taxing a dead person? Not exactly, although using that phrase certainly serves themisleading purpose of evoking anger over taxing somebody because they died. You are actually taxing the estate, or more precisely from a practical matter thebeneficiaries who take under the will or relevant intestacy framework.
Even with an estate tax in place, there are still a multitude of frameworks estate planners can and do utilize to minimize tax exposure (presently only estatesgreater than $2million are subject in the first place), and in many cases eliminate it altogether altogether, such as unified credits, revocable andirrevocable trusts, pour-over wills, gradual inter vivos gifting, etc. And if you look at the origins of the estate tax in this country, you'll find thatit arose both out of the practical necessity of the times and is also somewhat reflective of some of the underlying notions inherent to this country'sfounding. In short, during WWII the fed had to figure out another way to increase revenue beyond the common income tax, etc., and they came up with the estatetax - with two main policy considerations, the first of which was to generate revenue. The second was to mitigate aristocracies (which actually relates allthe way to the founding of this country).
3. Again, more assertions without any indicia of support. I'm not saying none exists, because there is certainly legitimate discussion to be had on themerits of both economic approaches in this country, but you'd rather just throw crap to the wall and hope something sticks.
4. Correlation does not invariably equal causation. Just as you can say we didn't start to see everything go downhill until after the Dems took control ofthe House and Senate, I can just as vehemently argue that it was all the Republican's fault for screwing up left and right for half a decade and theimpacts of it just happened to fully "trickle down" until after they lost control. (see, that even has a pejorative partisan label and everythingthrown in!)
Unfortunately, as has already been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you continue to lack any sort of legitimacy to what you bring to the table. And really,the worst part is that there ARE legitimate, rational, intelligent arguments to be made why "liberal" policies don't work and why"conservative" policies do. But damn dude, you don't even TRY to bring anything like that to the discourse.

Oh, and also, (sorry for the double post), if Obama does happen to win, get ready to hear a whole lot more "SEE?? Obama hasn't accomplishedanything!!!" rants from your Republican friends.
It's likely that NO ONE can solve the problems we face right now. I don't particularly believe that Obama is capable of fixing these problems in 4short years, but I trust his abilities a whole hell of a lot more than I trust John McCain's. So before you go saying "Obama hasn't fixed%#+%" understand that we see this BS coming from you a mile away, and it's not fooling anyone.

Although I still believe Obama is going to win... it's amazing he's not putting this away, and his lead is actually shrinking (seetoday's poll avg being 4.8% as opposed to the overall average being 6.5%)....
Sunday's Zogby poll....
Obama = 47.8%
McCain = 45.1%
------------------------
Obama = +2.7%
ZOGBY 3 day average = Obama +3.87%
ZOGBY 5 day average = Obama +4.18%
ZOGBY 7 day average = Obama +4.49%

Give it a rest with the Conservative spin. No speculation necessary... let the numbers speak for themselves.
