Joe for the people...

I applaud Joe for stepping up and calling the socialist illuminati out on their tax plans. This is who the tax increases will affect are the people and small business owners, so that was his right to ask the quesitons.

Say_Anything

Obama says anything to get elected, as he has only a tissue paper-thin resume, and no real experiences, true records or life-time government-achievements. He is only a smooth-talker, and nothing more, but guess many are fooled by his psychological and emtional games, and they are worshipping him like a god, or a cult-like leader. Even Louis Farrakhan, a Muslim leader, declares him "Messiah."

Barack Obama's wife and his attitude toward white people

I went to the ghetto to help underprivleged people in the eighties and after 4 years of watching all the teenaged mothers deliver at age 14 to get benefits, and seeing the drugged out violance, I lost my political correctness. I realized that the people wallowing in self pity in the US need to stop talking and start working. The Boston Public Schools are throwing money at "underpriveldged" children and they're beating their teachers up and shooting each other.They're all drugged out I frew up near intense poverty on the Mexican border and never saw people acting that way. The problem that I have with Obama and his wife is that they're Black first, and professional last. Their consciousness is so influenced by the chips on their shoulders that I don't feel that they can make rational decisions. Michelle Obama in particular is seething with anger, and it's not a pretty picture. I will find her to be an embarassment as a first lady....She's course and although she thinks that she's Jackie Kennedy, she comes off as mean.

Just one group unaccounted for...

Well if any one could be taken seriously by working men& women,small business owners Latin ancestry or of ANY ethnicity it will have to be Sen. McCain. Factoring considerably into this equation are the new generation Americans from Asia ,India .They are not only (intellectually,academically) ready to ascend in a climate of opportunity that rewards innovation -they don't waste time having their shoulders measured for a chip .They just learn the rules of the game & get to it.Plus ,the traditions of Latin ,Asian & the so called Judeo/Christian work ethic are virtually indistinguishable.Tapping into that is no problem for McCain.I invite every one to come to the Gulf Coast & see for themselves who is doing the WORK ( post hurricanes)and who is standing around waiting for a BIG BROTHER "G'mme".
