What deeply offends me is that the wealthy hired an actor to run a 8-year info-mercial on Ray-gun-omics. I am also deeply offended that I had to endure another two generations of Reagan clones in the Bushes. That is 24 years of politics that funnel wealth and power into the hands of the few. 24 years dominated by the taxing of the poor out of college, out of their homes. A plan that discourages giving raises to hard working americans. Let alone their total disdain for increasing minimum wage despite their deficite spending and it's exhorbetant effect on inflation. If anything this movie is a republican attempt to make light of the atrositiies commited. Jesus fed the poor and gave free health care while paraphrasing "It's harder for a republican to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel through the eye of a needle." Religious leaders should be offended that they would take false claims and outraged at the poor being taxed into abortions. If anything the movie brings humor to an outrageous situation.

My mom owned a restaraunt and her employees ate for free. One other of the many rest. I worked at also allowed it's employees to eat; it too was privately owned. Every corporate chain I ever worked for I could not afford to eat the food I cooked. GNC has a corporate policy of not hiring full-time employees though they do have benefits. I've worked a lot of different jobs and other than the military none have ever offered a raise or given me benifits. Military life is more communist than communism ever was and I enjoyed it. That was about the only time I could have fathered kids or gone to the hospital with out wanting to pour gasoline on myself. I think I would have made a great Computer Engineer. Every math class I ever took including College Calculus I could answer any question without showing any work. Kind of a chalk board in my head. Component level electronic repair learned in the Army was like mathmatic crossword puzzels. Too bad corporations take their tax breaks to open fatories in foriegn countries. Too bad employers don't give raises so they can get to the next tax bracket. They're flooded with enough images of things to buy. There are enough reasons to be greedy.

I believe that being truthful was the way to live. In turn I was taught also to seek truth and see through the noise to find it. I am totally out of touch with my fellow Americans today. Yes, I admit it. I lived abroad and observed change in America from afar. Now that I am back, I see for my self the truth and that is when lies and half truths are promulgated over and over, my fellow Americans are subconsciously inculcated to accept so many half truth and lies as fact coming to believe in what is just not true. It is the easy way! My fellow Americans want the easy way and do not want disputes. To dispute a political lie means being called a racist. So my fellow Americans chose to take the easy and safe way. Race is so sensitive of an area it dominates all of politics in America today. Therefore, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama will be our president because we do not have the courage to reject him.

hey chavez, do you have a job? thank reagan, do you have the ability to buy things from different suppliers for low cost, thank reagan, if it wasn't for reagan and both bushs' you would still have ultrahigh taxes, no national security and everything would be expensive as there wouldn't have been any reason for the businesses that benefitted from the reagan econ policy and low taxes to create more, get started and compete. if you want communism then off to live under your namesake.

"W." is a vicious 129-minute negative political ad whose promotional trailers and online banner ads are untethered to federal election law. Mr. Stone, out of character, restrains his excesses to deliver a PG-13 product in order to reach key youth demographics. And the hyperpartisan cast is given carte blanche to electioneer by way of an immense publicity campaign delivered by the mainstream media that holds the exact same partisan inclinations. ------------------------------ "Vicious"?? To qoute my teenage son who saw it, "I thought the President was worse than that, dad".

FTA "A false rumor also was widely reported that he was related to Charles Keating, a ghost of McCain scandal past." I heard Joe was related to one of the Keating 5, I thought uhm Ohio and looked up a pic of “Gods speed” John Glenn and thought okay that one may be true. If not, then John Glenn’s got some splaining to do. Joe’s a dead ringer for John Glenn, look it up. Say isn’t John Glenn of the Keating 5 stumping for Obama? Why yes he is! I wounder about the rest of them hummmm?

Agai we are seeing the biased media sources, along with the Hollywood liberal actors doing the most that they can to support Obama. See also,"Family Guy' Likens McCain-Palin to Nazi Germany. Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane has made no secrets of his support for Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Barack Obama was shaking hands the other day, which is a necessary thing for politicians. The question he got, though, was not typical. A man who described himself as a plumber by trade said Obama wants to tax him more Obama's response was typical: "It's not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure everybody behind you has a chance....just spread the wealth around." Sounds like a confirmation, if any is needed, that this man is glued to the redistribution of wealth. Any doubts? I didn't think so. Anyway, I don't think many Americans in Obama's dreams even pay any taxes to begin with. Folks, more handouts are coming if he's elected. Bet on it.

What difference does it make who Joe is related to? Obama stands exposed as a "spread the wealth" advocate. He literally means it too. Take money from one person and give it to someone else. Obama and his friends get to pick the income level. Today it is $250,000 tomorrow it may be $100,000. It will change! Yes we can!!!

websurfer---you mean "spread the poverty", don't you? Anyway, Obama is not honest. In other words, he's a liar. He is hiding nearly everything about his past. We need an honest president. Obama being a liar is not a change for the better.

Websurfer “The reason why Joe won is bec Obama and his friends get to pick the income level. Today it is $250,000 tomorrow it may be $100,000. It will change! Yes we can!!!” Websurfer dude me think ya missed the point here, Obama and his friends don’t pay no stinking taxes! Its just numbers for them, ya know taxes are for the “little people” Example: Did you know Obama’s sister has a $6.8K tax warrant! True! Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro: The $6,800 Tax Warrant Did you know Obama’s preacher Rev. Wright, has a The Federal Income Tax Lien for $48,000.00 http://webofdeception.com/obama.html#nesbitt Even more stuff! Obama’s campaign treasurer Martin Nesbitt, treasurer of the Obama (Obama is godfather to his son): His personal tax lien, his corporation's tax liens and more Is well over ONE million dollars ($1,000,000.00) in the hole.

Joe the plumber never intended to deceive anyone. It is these uneducated bozo's who are trying to deceive people. We already are seeing Marxism play out in this election, dare to speak out against the 'Chosen One' as Joe is finding out Obama's Brownshirts will smear you and broadcast the details of your life to the world. Joe the plumber is just an average American playing football with his son in his front yard when the Messiah walked up and started talking to him. Since Joe and his boss have been discussing Joe buying the business in the near future, Joe took the opportunity to ask Obama how his class warfare politics would affect him as a small business owner. Obama explained the reason that he will raise capitol gains tax is b/c "He belives the wealth should be spread around". Now for you bozo's, Joe the plumber does not have a license because he does NOT NEED ONE, because he works for someone else. He has worked under his boss's license for the last six years as an Apprentice Plumber. The business is Newell Plumbing, the owner is AL Newell. Joe plans to bypass being a Journeyman and take the license exam in the near future then same as his boss, he will hold a Master Plumbers license. The way the Obama campaign went after Joe because he dare to question this Messiah, and of course Obama's kool-aide drinkers not knowing any better run with it and make fools of themselves !

It is a matter of too many "never failed" generations accepting social relativism as justification to act they way do. As long as there is consensus to violate the current discipline, then "Don't worry, be happy, everything is gonna be alright". Oliver Stone is attempting to cover up another image much more disturbing than a president sitting on the toilet. An image of a president being serviced by an intern while he is talking business on the phone. That is where the virulence of the liberals started, when at least half the American people couldn't separate the public president from the private. Now the mainstream media is neutralizing the private citizen while filtering a public candidates relationships with the likes of Wright, Farrakhan, Rezko, Ayers and ACORN and trying to demean an existing president while their candidate attaches that demeaning image to his opponent.
