Its a great time to get a president and congress that will put govt back to limited power in order for people to have more influence over their own lives.

Re: This is a terrible time..........
No, I mean I wasn't talking about tax cuts at all. I was talking about government handouts to big corporations, etc.

and I might add theres something called taxation without representation, has anyone thought of the fact that asking 10% of the top eraners to pay an overwhelming amount of the taxes not having a consequently greater say in how they are spent? I thinks thats a thought, but I know the dem mantra is free shit for everyone as long as the rich guy pays for it ... Quote:

i agree with ya here, mate. in this day 'o "i want solutions, and want'm NOW, and i want things fixed...today!!!!!" kinda mindset, i don't think that either mr. obama or mr. mccain will serve more than one term. no matter who be elected captain, they'll be blamed fer the woeful state 'o things. mccain won't be able to deliver on his corporate tax cuts....obama won't be able to deliver on his elaborate and multi-faceted social policies. the congress (whoever be in power) and the president (whoever be elected) will be blamed fer not deliverin' us, superhero style, from our ailments. it makes this pirate wonder, though... be this the fault 'o the american public? are we, as americans, really ready to hear bad news? are we really ready to hear that the short term (short term meanin' years, not weeks or months) future isn't bright? are we, as americans, ready to accept that sacrifice and havin' less is somethin' we all gotta embrace? the candidates aren't goin' off half cocked, makin' things up as they go along...they are tellin' us what carefully calibrated polls and focus groups say they gotta tell us. some 'o the brightest and most insightful minds in the country have made a calculation as to what americans are prepared to hear; them stump speeches aren't spur 'o the moment flights 'o fancy, aye? aye. -MeadHallPirate Last edited by MeadHallPirate; 10-10-2008 at 12:11 PM. |

Re: This is a terrible time..........
Pretty much, although I know which major candidate it more likely to that, even though its still unlikely. The lesser of two evils is clear. The ideal candidate is not. I beleive that the correct direction at this point is to reduce govt, and put more power and money in the people hands, so that they can solve their problems individually. THis is not the time to spend 15 bil on NASA, 10 bil on earmarks, etc. The govt has been living beyond its means. Now its time to pay.

Re: This is a terrible time..........
awww man
Those would look great on my Jeep! And what gal couldn't use a grill like his ![]() In all seriousness...I would be more comfortable with Obama if he had a history of doing the things he's promoting he'll do. Since his record doesn't reflect tax cuts, then I don't believe he will cut taxes. Since his record doesn't reflect change, then I don't see him making changes. |

Re: This is a terrible time..........
Maybe this will be the well-deserved death of that fad called bling, and it might be an excellent cure for obesity - if the entitlements are not ramped up, that is.
