Actually, it's more like they have SO MUCH money that losing 40% of it doesn't change their lifestyles a bit. In Hollywood, it's a status symbol to claim you pay huge taxes. How else do you oneup the guy with $100 million? Besides, I'd betcha that they really don't pay taxes. A nice contribution will get you a hidden addon to a bill giving you a tax break. Notice in the bailout there was a rider in there giving millions to Hollywood to make some sort of movie? Don't kid yourself about these "limousine liberals." It's like where you see in the news that some Hollywood type with a 50 room mansion is "green" because he has a Prius parked next to his three 8 mpg Lamborghinis.....l ol. (16 hrs ago | post #599)

Actually, the Dem Congress keeps posturing about fighting the Patriot Act, and pulling our troops out, but never seem to quite go through with it...because the Dems realize that if we HADN'T put the Patriot Act in we'd have had more 9/11s, and if we pulled our troops out the Islamics would take over Iraq and Afghanistan and be emboldened, and the Dems also know they'd be blamed for it once the sheep woke up. So the Dems posture for the immature hippie base...and go along with the GOP adults...and we've had no more 9/11s and are winning in Iraq. Afghanistan is next. Lol. (16 hrs ago | post #598)

Good idea. You could start by supporting the Maverick, who has often been at odds with his own party (remember the talk about whether he would be Kerry's VP back in 04?) rather than Obama who has the most consistent record of partyline voting in the Senate and came up in politics as a loyal member of the Chicago Machine. :) (16 hrs ago | post #360)

Must have been a small crowd. I hear Palin has about an 80% approval rate in Alaska. You can always find an unhappy Marxist to stand around and protest, it's not like they can't get a day off from the bookstore or have plenty of time inbetween classes at the university. :) (16 hrs ago | post #359)

It's completely ludicrous that lawyers and partisans have taken over govt. to such an extent that there would be any question that a person who is the child of an American mother and an American military father, who happens to be born overseas because his father is on active duty, would have the rights of an American citizen to run for office, I agree. It just goes to show that the Dems and leftists don't care how they get their way and will use any trick to get there. "By any means necessary." (16 hrs ago | post #357)

So you are claiming that we should tax business more, then business will get the money back through raising the prices on what we pay, and then govt. will give us the money that they got from the businesses so we break even? What about the costs of all the bureaucracy to administer all this money-passing? Why should we trust bureaucrats to hand us the proper amount of money? How do we know they will give us the money back that they indirectly took out of our control? Isn't it more likely that they will instead "engineer society" by using our money for projects that they deem important and just CLAIM we are getting our money back as a result of the "benefits " of these projects? Don't whitewash socialism there, Obamadrone. (16 hrs ago | post #354)

Okay with me too. Just wanted to clear it up...I try to respond on here at the level of who I am talking with. As to your comment on voter fraud, glad to hear you aren't a believer in "by whatever means necessary" which seems to be the byword of the left. (16 hrs ago | post #597)

Like I just said, show me the GOP ACORN. Show me the GOP efforts to round up homeless and get them to vote for cigarettes. Show me the GOP Chicago Machine. And don't tell me about mythical Diebold voting machines, or how the butterfly ballots decided upon by Dem controlled election commissions in Florida were a GOP plot. There is no GOP vote fraud, or at least none that can be proved by enthusiastic Dem leaning media. There is PLENTY of provable Dem vote fraud. (17 hrs ago | post #596)

It's pretty easy, and pretty transparent. NYT, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, otherwise known as the Mainstream Media, or MM...They're obviously in the tank for Obama, and have been for quite a while. Obama has more than enough in his closet to sink any other candidate, more than practically any other candidate in history. Ayres, Wright, questions of his citizenship, Chicago Machine, Rezko, his claims to be a moderate centrist backed with his extreme leftist background and voting record, ACORN..the list is endless. Yet this is all only regretfully lightly covered in the MM, and only if forced to, and usually combined with regretful comments about the nastiness of bringing such things up. The MM is losing market share quickly to talk radio, blogs and internet news sources that they don't own. One of the dreams of the far left is to reenact the "Fairness Doctrine" and regulate the Internet. This would put the monopoly of the news back in the hands of the MM. So the MM is trying to shove Obama down our throats. In return, they get their monopoly back. There you go. Clear enough for you? (17 hrs ago | post #595)

Stolen elections, lol. Don't see any stories about the GOP ACORN, and it isn't the Repubs who consistently claim that passing laws requiring ID to vote is "voter repression". What did I say before? If your type doesn't have an answer, you claim racism. The National Debt goes up and up due to out of control entitlement programs and govt. growth. Yes, Bush is to blame for that along with the Dem Congress..but I don't consider him a true conservative...and you can't seriously tell me that Gore or Kerry, and especially Obama, would have shrunk govt. spending. Fuel prices wouldn't have gone up if your buddies weren't in the pockets of Luddites and the Sierra Club, and we had drilled on our own territory and built nuclear power plants to provide electricity...and your new hero Obama wants to toss millions at hippie power technologies..lol. .like if anyone had the answer for cheap power they'd need govt. cash to build it...did Bill Gates need taxpayer money to start Microsoft? Did Henry Ford need taxpayer money to build the Model T? If something works, it will make a profit, and investors will finance it- if taxpayer money is needed, that means it probably isn't profitable and won't work. Don't know what you mean by amendments destroyed..but I do think your buddies want to destroy the Amendment that gives us the right to bear arms. :) Now go play music, you might be good at that for all I know, but your grasp of politics and history is tenuous. Jaeger means hunter in German, by the way. Also fighter, as in fighter pilot. Make of THAT what you will. :) (17 hrs ago | post #594)

Oh, and you hear over and over how Obama won't raise taxes on anyone making less than 250k. What you don't hear is that Obama is not going to continue the Bush tax cuts when they expire. So your taxes will go up...but Obama will use the Clintonian word parsing to claim that HE didn't RAISE taxes...and his buddies in the mainstream media won't call him on it. Meanwhile Obama and the Dems will be using the "Fairness Doctrine" to shut down other sources of news like talk radio. (22 hrs ago | post #301)

Actually, they are investigating Obama's contribution records. Apparently there are lots and lots of $200 donations from obviously fake names...theory is that illegal foreign money is being repackaged into donations that fit in under a loophole in the campaign laws. Not necessarily money from the Middle East..but could be. (22 hrs ago | post #300)

I merely responded to Cyclops in the same vein as he commented to me. You haven't been tossing insults, so I haven't fought back in the same way with you. Lol, by the way, I assume we will both vote in the way we seem fit. I'm mostly worried about the apparent upcoming Dem attempts to commit massive voter fraud... (22 hrs ago | post #582)

Liberals cannot reason with conservatives. They lose on facts every time. That's why they unfailingly resort to accusations of racism. (22 hrs ago | post #578)
