I am voting for Obama (biden can go suck a cock for all I care) because

a.  I want certain things he's promised to do to happen.  Stopping the stupid war in Iraq, being more fiscally responsible, broadening health care, reforming the education system.

b.  The republican party is morally bankrupt.  Lying, manipulating, conniving bitches is what the party of Lincoln has become.

As of now I plan on voting for Obama,

Both candidates are liberal, both will keep throwing our money away, but Obama will throw it away here rather than somewhere in the Middle East.

Both candidates support this "War on Terror" bullshit, but how could I support four more years of Bush/McCain's enormous disregard for our freedom, our system of government, and our Constitution.

Hahaha.  The War on Terror.

Anybody with half a brain would realize that the real terrorists are the ones sabotaging the economy.

I am voting for no one.

1.  I cannot in good conscience vote for either of them

2. They both represent too great of a risk.
Title: Re: Main reasons you're voting for _______?

In other words, he is:

1.  Trying to act like he is above the common fray.

2. While in deed endorsing a terrible status quo.

this is true.

obama's saying "95% of you are poor, and I'll help 95% of you with a tax cut".

he's also saying "you top 5%, you're gonna pay more.  Deal with it."

The problem is, the bottom 95% of people have a lot more votes than the top 5%.

Post by: headhuntersix on September 10, 2008, 08:20:58 AM
Why should the top 5% pay more then they already are...I think we're all shooting to be that top 5% right? So once I get there I am now going to have to give money to worthless people who didn't work as hard as I did. I'm not talking about some guy making 35 grand. I'm talking about some worthless welfare case who doesn't work at all.....

Dude...why should I give more why? I pay my taxes, no issues, but more to people who don't deserve it. Or for Uncle Sam to bail out people who had no business owning a home in the first place...come on.

my gym is across the street from one of those offices were people get their food stamps. i see bmw's and rovers all the time park down the street then walk in to get their free groceries. the more we give to these social programs the more people take advantage of it.

I have a sister with MS who can get very little govt assistance, even though she legitimately needs it.

I have an in-law who had a heart attack 20 years ago, running a business making 100k, while sitll collecting his social security check every month.  fucced up system.

Let's give the money to the sheiks and their relatives instead.  That way we can send it all abroad and hey, maybe they can even use a large portion of it to undermine US.

Yay, Republicans!

Fucktards.

Ur sister can't contribute...she needs help, thats not the argument. If u can work and don't, thats the problem. And I'm very sorry for ur sister.

Yeah Calmus, it all started with Bush right?

She gets some med help, but she has a daughter, an AWOL babydaddy who won't pay support, etc.
I don't think it's the duty of the system to pay her anything, but it'd be nice if they did... especially with so many dirtbags out there working under the table while collecting social security.  Those people irritate me bigtime.  So many of them in Florida.  "So, what do you do?  Nothing, I'm on social security!" as they're working office work, at an auto lot, at a bar, etc.  They don't pay taxes, and they don't seserve the monthly check.

Wouldn't you rather we took all the money that the Beemer driving welfare thieves are collecting and sent it to fund a nice madarassa in Palestine or Afghanistan, like the DoD/Republican admin would like us to do has us doing?

Just to make an objective comment:  The income tax was created to make paying government taxes equally painful for everyone.  Taking large sums from high income earners is meant to make them feel the way low income earners feel.  That is the purpose.  Luckily I don't have to make a normative judgment on the issue.  Just stating historical fact.
