How is Obama, a JUNIOR Senator with LESS executive experience than Palin going to get our gas prices down?
didn't you hear his plan yet?
All you have to do is keep your tires pumped up and get regular tune ups. You'll save the country billions of dollars and eliminate the need for offshore drilling.
That's it.
That's his big plan.
oh that and taking money from big oil to give us a rebate... which in the end will cause big oil to jack up the prices so high to make up for what he took from them, that we won't be able to afford to drive until they come up with another, more expensive alternative to gas.
McCain - A SENIOR senator since 1987.
Obama - A JUNIOR senator since 2005.
As for McCain being old at 72... he'd be 76 when his 4 years are up.
Ronald Reagan died at 93 even though he suffered for a long time with Alzheimer's
I had a great aunt live to be 97 even though she suffered with inoperable cancer for years
I currently have a great aunt who is 96.
2 of my great uncles lived to be 91 and 93
my grandmother passed away from undiagnosed cacner at 85.
My uncle was killed in a car accident at 49
A girl I worked with died of an undiagnosed blood clot at 29.
Age is obviously not a determination of longevity.
I'd rather have McCain and trust Palin to be prepared to take over.

93. Did you ever wonder what a Community Organizer is? Obama was one in Chicago. The title should be Community Radical or Community Agravator. Saul Alinsky was one of the first and is a hero of Obama. Google Saul Alinsky Organizer to find out more. Also Google Saul Alinsky Lucifer for an eye opener.
The more you know Obama, the more the will say No Obama!

Just a reminder.....

CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250
OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

96. Not a big shocker coming from Terry Moran. He looks like he is gay as a goose.

97. What a joke.Sarah Palin would become the least qualified VP of all time and is ill suited to be President.Nice family values candidate. Must be against birth control.
The psychologically damaged McCain who lacks the temperment to be President according to former Republican Senator Santorum will be way too OLD to be President.
In year 4 McCain is going to be 77 folks. That's really realy OLD in dog years.
Talk about napping on the job.

98. For some reason the categories did not come out under the candidates when I posted the info about McCain and Obama. The first yes or no pertains to McCain and the second yes or no pertains to Obama.
These are the facts folks, only the facts.

99. The reason he calls himself a Afican American instead of black is because he is NOT LEGALLY BLACK!
His mother was white and his father mostly Arab (88%) from Africa.
That makes him only 6% Black, which is below the 12% legal requirement for many government programs.
This is one of the biggest scams he is running, since he has lead most people to think he is Black.

101. I don't care what hole he come from, but I do care about what agenda he wants to push. I found it fascinating that the open-minded, free-thinking democrats in Congress are already looking for ways to "punish" Lieberman for his support of McCain. McCain has reached across the aisle numerous times, on efforts that I mostly disagree with. The only reaching Obama has done has been to reach for the "present" vote button. The democrats' treatment of Lieberman both in attempt to defeat his recent Senate run, and his "punishment" for voicing a differing opinion in his choice for president belies the true nature of the democratic party--you are allowed to voice your personal opinion, but only when it follows the party agenda for more control over our wallets and our futures. Careful folks, the fireworks and Greek temple are hiding a dragon.

102. Everyone makes such a big freacking deal about a persons religion and race. Who cares!!!!! Life is too short for me to worry about another persons beliefs and the color of their skin. Get some perspective.

103. Anyone who calls someone an idiot because they don't share the same political ideas is an idiot. Not to mention an elitist.
Hey get with it--it's 2008 not 1900--you get with it! The term American will do just fine.

104. Anyone who changes parties to vote for McCain has a brilliant mind. BRAVO, Shayla!

105. Just for the record - Obama Sr. was never legally married to Obama Jr.'s mother, since he was already married to a woman in Kenya, and bigamy is not legal in Hawaii or any other part of the U.S. Does that make him illegitimate? Yes. Does it make him inneligible to be senator or president? No. Current law is interpreted that anyone born in this country is a natural born citizen and elibible for those offices. Even if both parents are here illegally (which Obama Sr. was not), you are still a natural born citizen.
