And those few people are just as wrong and just as misinformed as people who believe Obama is the solution.


Once again, you try to elevate your opinion as fact: what you believe is not necessarily what is - especially when it concerns other people .

I state what is. Obama's platform is classic socialist tax, spend, soak the rich ("rich" meaning anyone with a steady job), sprinkled with traditional Marxist denigrations of individual effort and individual accountability. The language on his website admits of no other assessment.

Obama is not the solution. He is a worse problem than either Bush or Clinton ever dreamed of being.

That is the reality. Regardless of belief, that remains the reality.

On a related note, McCain is the Devil.  He will kill us all and rape goats.

That is the reality.  Regardless of belief, that remains the reality.

Each to their own - nearly everyone I know will take pretty much anything over another four years of Bushism.


Oh? They'd prefer to be called, "World Citizens?"
Did you immigrate to the U.S. with the hope of being a "World Citizen" or an American Citizen?
Jumping into the snakepit of global socialism really isn't an option just because you don't like Bush!
I can't stand Bush, I think he should publically appologise to The Minutemen for calling them "vigilantes".
And there's a Whole Bunch of other things I don't like about him either but I'm not going to vote for an "Anti-Bush" who promises people anything knowing full well that he can't fulfill those promises.
I want *LESS* government interfereance in my life not more.
And I want them to keep their filthy hands out of my wallet!
If you don't like Bush you really won't like Obama!
"Big Brother" will interfere in our lives even more than now!

Stef, sure, Clinton had a "budget surplus" alright!
But, how he got there was to have *the biggest tax increase in the history of the U.S.!*
Obama will increase taxes by $1.4 Trillion right off the hop!
It's already engineered for his first year should he be elected!
I forget the name of the senator who's handling that for him.

Who ever wins, they are going to have to develop a plan to pay for the last 7 years.  What ever happened to the fiscal neo-cons when this goverenment was all borrow and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend under Bush?

According to your source, all contributions for Republican from troops overseas totaled 76,037 dollars vs. 63,882 dollars for all Democrats. Total troop contributions for Republicans was $849,219 vs. $519,459 for Democrats.

Or, to look at it another way, the two most prominant anti-war candidates got 106,000 while the next top five candidates scored 33,000. 

It wasn't meant to be a democrat v. republican thing.  It was meant to be a the-troops-want-this-stupid-war-to-be-over thing.

Judging by the headline you chose for the thread I'd have to say it was more an effort to mislead us concerning how popular Obama is among American troops serving overseas.

Ron Paul is still Republican - so far right you should feel embarrassed about this whole thread.

My title:
Troops give 6 times as much money to Obama
Title of the article:

Troops Deployed Abroad Give 6:1 to Obama
I'm sure twisting things, here.

Tell me what part you disagree with:
1. The stats show that troops abroad far prefer candidates who want peace in Iraq.
2. Obama is generally regarded as the candidate who is more likely to bring peace to Iraq.
3. Troops abroad give 6 times as much to Barack Obama as to John "100 years" McCain.

None of that is true.If it were demonstrable,you`da dunnit.

Actually, we have the old tired out(but twied and twue)classic name-calling,the other guy is scary,don`t vote for them they`ll take all your money,tactics coming from republicans.

Hey Lordceltic,gotta an unpleasant homework assignment for ya.

Research and tell us how much Obama`s middle-class tax cuts total to and tell us how much McCain`s non-existent middle-class tax cut adds up to?

Extra credit, if you`re honest.

From your own article:

quote:


A former West Point professor, Jason Dempsey, noted that the small set of contributions from deployed troops at this point in 2008 -- just 323 donations -- should not be extrapolated to form conclusions about military personnel overall. "If, on a bad day, a guy gets that letter that says [his tour has been extended] from 12 to 15 months, that could spur a quick donation and expression of anger," he said. "Donating helps members of the military express their political views privately."
Emphasis mine

Since you like stats so much... what happened to the claim that no money was going to come from lobbyists?

Owner,

This is gonna surprise ya, maybe not.  I agree that many of his accusations are solely his personal truths and thus opinions.

Now for you homework assignment, do you want me to include the increase in dividends and capital gains taxes?  And what are we defining as middle class?

Here,I`ll throw ya`ll a bone.

You can always say that this is because Obama is soooooo popular and so then,discount this as meaningless.

It might help you sleep better and might improve the stuck BMs in your guts.

No need to thank me.My pleasure.

Middle class?

Most of us.

I hope he taxes the rich,as Clinton did.

They, for the most part,are responsible for the financially ruinous adventure in Iraq.They should pay for it.

It certainly shouldn`t be passed on to our kids,as McCorporatewellfare wants to do.
