Penelope: Everyone who isn’t wrapped around Obama’s finger knows he is the most liberal person in Congress. Don’t be naive. I would just like to know more details of his plans to help the economy. He says he won’t raises taxes–I doubt that. I am just curious, because you say that I should ask him, well I have sent several emails to his campaign. Still not a single response! Maybe he is just full of words, we need solutions.

Only been asked about a thousand different ways and Senator Obama always harkens back to his primary platform statement on taxation. Cuts for people making $250,000 a year or less. Adam, unless I am mistaken by your child-like prose and willful ignorance of Obama’s stance on taxes - even though I have heard it (and so have you) about a million times - you are not the sort of person that is bringing down a salary over 250K. You are just looking for a reason to vote against your own ecomonic interests…again. His platform is for and about the middle class. They buy more stuff. A couple of Mercedes and a $4 million house in the Hamptons (and vacations [tourism dollars spent] out of the country) are just not enough to turn this ship around. We need lots of middle class families buying a variety of houses, automobiles, boats, tractors, bikes and regular consumer goods in order to get this economy firing on all cylinders.

when Rep. Brown says “liberal elite” that’s his code word for uppity black man.

To jjk and BobZZzzz-
I really do appreaciate the way you both choose to avoid the discussion on defense spending by attacking me personally. I knew exactly what you would say. You have learned much, grasshoppers, from thy master. You lose the debate when you shoot yourself in the foot by not addressing the issue.

“No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace or insure it victory in time of war.” -Calvin Coolidge (R)

As a veteran of the U. S. Navy Submarine service, and of the first Gulf War, I respectfully disagree with the assertion that the “liberally elite” (which I guess is the same as the “liberal elite”) see the military as “something not to be proud of.” I am a liberal and very proud of our military. The difference is, when I think of “the military”, I think of the actual men and women on the ground doing the real work, and Republicans tend to be more concerned with “military spending”, i.e., the defense contractors and “Haliburtons” of the world (there is a lot of money in the destroying and rebuilding of a foreign country). I am not proud of the way in which those types have defrauded America and made the actual military men and women less safe. I guess at this late stage, any charge, no matter how unfounded, is deemed acceptable.

yeah, and they’re Communists! …and they’re ungodly…and, they’re…Liberals! Gee, great substance in the last week before the election. Two GOP lightweights and one huge loser say bad thinmgs aboout the one person who has been responsible and forthright throughout this campaign, Obama.

Stop the GOP lies!

How about a condemnation of Airballs comment slamming the death of one of our American troops in Iraq. Read his blasphemy at the link below.
.
A comment that mocked and poked fun at a dead American soldier that gave his life for you, for me, for all of us.
A dead American soldier mocked and poked because he was Muslim.
No respect for the fundamentals of our country and for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line for our safety 24 x 7.
.
So What are You For Real?
- real patriots
or

I met Representative Brown during the past legislative session in Jefferson City. He seems like a great person. I was caught off guard by his need to comment on a statement by Rep. Frank. The fact that Rep. Frank has very little control over Defense matters as a representative is the first red flag. I seem to recall that Rep. Brown is a veteran, but all the same, his realm of leadership is here in MO. I may need to learn more about the context of his comment. Rep. Frank is the chair of a committee that focuses more on lending institutions. His comments about Defense spending should be taken as only that, a comment.

“…right wing extremest hate mongers … you(‘re) so pathetic … “real hypocrites, real bigots and real racists” … oh slammers of all things Obama … you extreme right loonies …”

D. Walker, is that you… spoofing as — STL?

Here’s how a certain well-known politician would respond:

It’s true, I do know Airball
We have met at small social gatherings
He’s somebody who lives in my neighborhood
Our kids go to the same school
He happens to be a well-respected xxxxxxxx
He is not an advisor to my campaign
He’s not the man I thought I knew
Uh, er, ah, thank you all for coming.
