McCain doesn't seem to realize that the majority of Americans make less than 250,000 |
|
I'm beginning to hope the best campaigner in favor of Obama is McCain and Palin because the more one sees of them the less one trusts them.

2. And you're only out of the middle class at 5 mill |
|
And I'm not sure if he meant accumulated assets or INCOME with that figure.
Since Cindy is capable of running up a half mill in a month on a credit card, I'm thinking income.

4. He knows. He realizes. I't just that they expect people to be so |
|
ignorant they don't read or seek out the facts. That's how repukes have won for so long - they count on people being stupid.
Not. This. Time.

6. Hell, all those folks at his rallies don't seem to realize that they are |
|
making less than $250,000. They seem to think that someday, they too will have millions. As if that upper 1% is going to just open up the window of their penthouse office and shower money down on them. Haven't they realized that in the last 8 years, all the promises and predictions made about the Bush tax cuts (more jobs, higher wages, lower prices) have been proven totally wrong? They still seem to think that corporations actually give a rip about them or this country.

14. I beg to differ with you |
|
They have been a tremendous success for the wealthiest Americans. They are getting the working class into the position that they have dreamed of since FDR created the Middle Class. They will soon be the working poor of the early 1900's without any hope. They have done a grand job with the assistance of the working class Republicans who have been manipulated at will. Their jobs outsourced, they pensions cut and health insurance canceled.

7. Well, his supporters don't either even though they don't make anywhere... |
|
...near that amount.
I guess this is where their 'faith' comes in - when they have 'faith' that some day they can live according to Horatio Algers' myth.
I think they've got ADD too. I mean, we've already done it the McCain way which is a mirror image of the Bush way, and has it done us or our country any good?
Those with half a brain say "no" and are supporting Obama for President. Those lacking any short-term memory support McBush.

9. He realizes it, he knows it -- HE IS LYING AND TRYING TO FOOL VOTERS |
|
He knows Joe the Plumber would do better under Obama's tax plan. He is using Joe the Plumber to BAMBOOZLE others into voting for him.

10. That's probably how he justifies saying that Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class... |
|
seeing as how he thinks the middle class ends at around 5 million.

12. For the people that support him at his $25,000 dinners, its chump change. |
|
He just doesn't associate with the lower class. The most ridiculous people in the Republican camp are the working class idiots that support their own economic suicide.

13. I know and it's pretty insulting. |
|
Sarah Palin was saying to her supporters the other day that Obama's tax plan will "crush your dreams." Since his plan will give tax cuts to 95% of people, who is it that Sarah is talking to? Is some fat cat not going to be able to buy that yacht he was dreaming of?
