Please answer me this:
Do you do really believe that raising taxes on corporations will bring us prosperity? Have you considered that those company's will simply raise the cost of their products and services to compensate for the tax increase? Do you honestly believe that raising the taxes on corporations will keep job in the country? You say, but wait! Some of them make billions of dollars! That's true and it is passed out in dividends to stockholders that own stock directly, those that have 401k plans, mutual funds or have a company retirement plan that invests in the stock market. Do you really believe this won't lead to frozen hiring, not to mention frozen wages? "

" rfield, I fully admit that I lean to the right. I didn't think that McCain focused as much on bashing Obama, as they focus on bashing Bush and saying McCain is the same.
In the debate, what I liked about Palin is when she was talking about disagreeing with McCain on things and those things being open to debate. That is one of the huge reasons I think they are the best combo. They don't agree/disagree with everything republican/democrat. There are very few people that believe 100 percent along party lines (which Obama votes for 97 percent of the time). There are many things republican I agree with, however there are still quite a few democrat things I agree with too.
That is why I am voting McCain/Palin. "

I find it hilarious that as much as the left decries FOX they seem to have NO problem with MSNBC. As someone who typically will watch BOTH to get perspective on the various issues, MSNBC is far more one sided than FOX.
FOX is definitely right, but MSNBC is so over the top to the left. They don't even make an attempt to balance out the issues. "

Liberals will try to tell us that social conservative values are a non-issue, and they will try to convince us that Obama is any thing but a typical, tax & spend liberal. (not to mention his socialistic and messiah complex tendencies, with questionable friends in low and falsely Christian places.)
The bottom line is that I still think McCain is going to win the election. The American people will see exactly how bad an Obama Presidency, with a democratically held congress will tear this nation apart thread by thread, value by value and dollar for dollar! "

Obama has a very shady background and he will increase taxes like crazy, just like he voted over 97% of the time to do.
Obama just showed up 3 years ago and hes fit to be President! I don't think so. And of those 3 years he has spent 2 of them running for President. In Obama's speeches he says exactly the opposite of how he voted in the senate.
IF OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT, IT WILL BE THE START OF SOCIALISM, AND ALL OUR ENEMIES HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR OF THIS MAN.....GOD BLESS US ALL.

Your are a jerk and you have proven it your and "Winky Sarah's" fear and smear of Barack Obama. How desperate McCain must be to use these tactics instead of debating the real issues facing America -- like how he plans to tax health benefits while paying the insurance companies directly. And no, he wasn't completely exonerated of the Keating 5 scandal -- we wonder just how far Johnny would have gone had he not been tipped off to the sting operation. There is nothing honorable about McCain and he is certainly not an "officer and a gentleman." He's carnky old geezer who's out for his own interests. Country first? I don't think so... "

Probably not. That's the part of liberals that I never understood.

Spend less time yelling at me and more time doing something productive for your campaign. "
