Obama’s Plans:
1. Lowers taxes for the working man=more money to spend=self destruction=co-dependency if a person lacks in “common sense” and “good judgment”!
2. Raises taxes on and spreads business’s profits around=product prices go up to compensate for the increase in taxes (who pays for this, the responsible working man), do you really think business is going to stay around the USA long enough to spread their profit! We would all love to have someone else be responsible for our actions…or would we!
3. What is going to happen to small business=with all the poor working man not having any jobs because big business left town or their jobs have gone to illegal aliens, the working man won’t have enough money to support them to stay in business, and the illegal aliens won’t make enough money to support any business!
4. It’s a great thing that America does help their neighbor…WHY, to help the ‘less fortunate” LEARN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS so that someone else isn’t burdened with another’s responsibility!
The Obama camp has spent over $32,000,000.00 on their campaign (where is this money coming from),$820,000.00 went to ACORN! Obama said,“Spread the wealth around”. What we see happening…does Obama know what the word co-dependency means? Does Obama realize that by helping someone, his campaign helps create a co-dependency…Obama does have an education background, and we would like to think that “common sense” goes along with that! Does Obama lack in “common sense” and “good judgment” OR does he see the co-dependency that has been created with the “less fortunate” and is using this co-dependency as a TOOL to be elected?

Co-dependency will make a person dependent on the other party (democratic party), and will allow the other party to be in TOTAL CONTROL! There is such a thing as co-dependency...mental abuse as well as physical abuse...they live the mental abuse and don't even realize it when it happens...very sad indeed!
Why are there still some who want to remove “In God we Trust” from our society? It is because they want only more power and control!

McCain's Plan:
It is also true that John McCain proposes a refundable tax credit -- his $5,000 to help individuals buy health insurance. We've written before that we prefer a tax deduction for individual health care, rather than a credit. But the big difference with Mr. Obama is that Mr. McCain's proposal replaces the tax subsidy for employer-sponsored health insurance that individuals don't now receive if they buy on their own. It merely changes the nature of the tax subsidy; it doesn't create a new one.

I guess all we have to do is choose which one we should elect for President; it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Senator McCain…older and more wise (yes), battle ground experience—both political and actual war to run our country (most definitely), honorable, truthful and SINCERE—yes…please DON’T misplace your anger for Obama’s actions and blame Senator McCain, and the list goes on.

Vote for McCain and Palin in 2008!

I already have a disability that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I still fight for mine and others independence and really don't want anything to do with welfare...Obama and some other people just don't seem to realize that welfare is there to help people get on their feet and not to live it…it seems they are creating an obamanation!

Respectfully,
An American citizen

And along comes Biden, whose money was spent shown on this website,

Yes just like when the Republicans let those failing banks take responsibility.

Oh Wait...

More money for lower class= More goods they can buy= more product being sold= company growth= Hiring more workers providing more jobs= Making investors happy.

If "Trickle down" works then "Trickle up" will work just as well.

Barack Obama Supporters Now Abandon His Campaign

“Could a person running for president be a front for a high level terrorist cell? What if your very own president elect could not even qualify for a security clearance let alone be qualified to be President of the United States? Could Barack Obama be America's next 911? Of course it is possible. After reading this blog and clicking the various links, I challenge every American to choose carefully who they will elect as President of the United States.”

Father/Daughter Chat:

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she
considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat,
and among other liberal ideals, was very much in
favor of higher taxes to support more government
programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and an occasional chat with various professors, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his
opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked,'How is your
friend Audrey doing?' She replied,'Audrey is
barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes,
she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a
blast. She's always invited to all the parties and
lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes
the next day because she's too hung over.'

Her wise father asked his daughter,'Why don't you
go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0
off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal
distribution of GPA.'

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's
suggestion, angrily fired back,'That's a crazy
idea. That would not be fair! I've worked really
hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time,
and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to
nothing toward her degree. She played while I
worked my tail off!'

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently,
'Welcome to the Republican party.'

I also need to mention, that above example refers to Communism, not the Democratic party.

Even with Welfare and other such things do you really think the welfare people have the same amount of money as the middle class?

Welfare was to help americans that fell

Seams like the Democrates want the welfare people
to have a much as the middle class so they'll
never work. because that what Obama is going to

Most firms pay no income taxes - Congress

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined samples of corporate tax returns filed between 1998 and 2005. In that time period, an annual average of 1.3 million U.S. companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing business in the United States paid no income taxes - despite having a combined $2.5 trillion in revenue.

So much for "Rich Corp.s pay High Taxes" GOP lies.. like anything else they say...

If U.S. Companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing business in the United State paid no income taxes, then where is Obama going to get the tax money to fund his "socialist" agenda? Yep your
right, Middle class people and small business.

The responsible people in this world do examine their lives and realize that they can control their own abusive and possible violent behavior, and do take the necessary steps in learning to live without violence…people cannot control other people or make other people be someone who they are not, they can only share their knowledge and truth. The terrorist, predator and bullies will TWIST that TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE because they become in denial of their own sins or abusive and violent behavior and try to make others look like the bad guy when they are NOT! Just like Iraq…Saddam, Bin Laden, Al Qaeda terrorists vs. the US and United Nations; the US and United Nations are NOT the bad guys, they APPEAR to be because they are only protecting the good, compassionate and loving people…the sad part is there are corrupt politicians …people in general…who may have used this fight between good and evil for their own gain and will join in with the “evil” and make it APPEAR that the people who are fighting for the good of the world are the bad guys to take the light off of them to protect their own butts! Has Obama used his affiliations with Bill Ayers, Fannie Mae and terroristic people just for his own gain to become president or has his own mind been corrupted because of these affiliations and does NOT see what he has become, and because of this has it confused him (bad judgment) or his lack of “common sense”, look at his background, the life he has lived? Either way he is not ready to be president!

Doubt and deception equals chaos and chaos equals fear and insecurities; we have to control our own fears and insecurities for our own survival and salvation! The Obama camp does equal doubt/deception/chaos, this is very clear when a person looks at it with a clear mind; when someone looks at it with a clear mind and shares their knowledge and truth about Obama, the Obama’s camp will try and make it APPEAR that those people are the bad guy when they are NOT…and try to control them! You will be able to tell who the confused one really is by listening and focusing…all a person has to do is PRAY, listen and focus! We, the citizens of the USA need to know the truth about all candidates…everything about Obama relates to the economy…the economy is important and we as citizens of the USA need to know the truth! People misplace their anger and blame Senator McCain for Obama’s actions! THE OBAMA CAMP IS CREATING A CO-DEPENDENCY OF OUR NATION! Please do not be foolish and in denial…you will be only fooling yourself!

When people start to think this ‘man’, Senator Obama, is their savior when he clearly is not...this is truly what is called "honoring FALSE gods!" People are definitely foolish and in denial!

The terrorist, predators and bullies of this world are abusive and violent by nature (they are all in the same category) because they have lived in it, they truly start to believe that it is a “normal way of life” when it is NOT a NORMAL WAY OF LIFE! These RADICALS (terrorists) have even wrapped their children with explosives for their own “evil” cause!

Bin Laden said he would take down America (our nation) from the inside!

In voting for Senator McCain, we vote for our country, the USA’s survival and salvation! Senator McCain works for the American people!

Proof? Seriously, I've seen nothing to say that they want them to be middle class. Besides you know welfare bums spend all their money on stupid things.

Which will ironically help the economy. And the government will get that money back in the form of taxes.

So basically it will cost everyone nothing and will keep the economy going.

It will "share the wealth" by making it go through the whole system. Meaning everyone will be getting a piece of the cut.

Ten Key Issues: Where Obama and McCain stand…Published: October 22, 2008
http://www2.hickoryrecord.com/content/2008/oc...

Obama on abortion:
--Supports Roe v. Wade.(Jul 1998)
--Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP.(Mar 2008)
--Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion.(Mar 2008)
--Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.(Jul 2006)
--Voted NO to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits funding of abortion through the Medicare program.
--Voted three times AGAINST a bill that would have provided protection for babies who survive abortions equal to protection received by babies who are spontaneously born prematurely.
--On Partial-Birth Abortion…”I am extremely concerned that [Gonzalas v. Carhart] will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a women’s right to choose, and that the conservatives Supreme Court justices will look for opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade.” He is such a bureaucrat (wishy washy) he remains neutral on this issue…if he can’t be decisive on this, what type of stance will he take when it comes time to defend America fro terrorists? Oh, I know, let’s talk about this while they are invading our shores and annihilating Israel.

There is no common ground between pro-choice and pro-life…children do NOT have a choice when they are murdered…in the womb or out of the womb, and I’m not speaking about a woman who has been traumatized by rape or in a life death situation!

They are never going to outlaw Abortion.

The bible says nothing about Abortion, therefore you cannot claim that it is against God.

Get over it.

Obama and his camp, his followers, have some pretty twisted (abusive) thinking. They SUPRESS the media and others who share the truth. They want to give people who have worked the system all their life and CON others out of their hard earned money (by the way other’s who do share and help other’s in time of need), they try to CON other good/compassionate/loving people into thinking they are the bad guys by using guilt as a point of fact when the guilt they use is actually for their own “need for greed”. Obama supports Odinga in Africa, a country/children that starves and dies while Odinga and his family are fat and rich! Barack Obama is clearly a dream out of the world of (spiritual darkness) liberals and those that hate traditional American values. He is as phony as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He represents everything that a Bible-believing person rejects. If they want socialism, suppression, oppression, Marxism, communism…maybe they should move to a country like Africa, Iraq, Iran (the Middle East), Russia and “live it” them self.

We are looking the devil in the eye and we are saying,“there is no place for you here, your destroying our country”.

Obama doesn’t want “peace”, he is only creating doubt and chaos within our country…this is what radicals do, they CON other’s into thinking they are the bad guy when other’s are not…very deceptive , very evil! Obama hides the truth about his life for a reason…Obama says the US are the bad guys because we protect other nations from RADICAL terrorists...sounds more like Obama's RADICAL friends had more of an affect on Obama than Obama would like to admit! Obama and his camp, his followers hide the truth and deceive just for his own selfish greed for power and control!
--All Obama can do is throw other peoples money at problems, and even then he can't solve them. Obama lies and deceives everyone for his own personal gain…just like his friend Odinga and his other radical friends!
--Obama has spent millions upon millions on this election and is just even with a guy spending 1/3 as much money.

--So, how is it that Obama is better at utilizing money than McCain?

Obama and camp and his followers insult our troops, "air raided villages and killed civilians", and call them the bad guys when our military “self sacrifice”, suffer great pain and at times give their own life to defend against radicals…Obama’s twisted, radical and abusive thinking. "Soldiers follow orders, Warriors know and live by their duty."

I do not support anyone who twists the truth for their own personal gain/agenda such as Obama!

Vote McCain/Palin in 2008 to take back what America stands for…Freedom!
