[quote]I think that speaks volumes as to the "tolerance" of the left for other points of view.[/quote]As a so-called liberal on a right wing blog site, I find this hilarious. Frankly, though, the View definitely needs balance to backup Hasselbeck--better yet the show should be cancelled.
[quote]CALLING people divisive for merely disagreeing with you is divisive.[/quote]Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned in semantics: after all, bringing up "palling around with terrorists" or "who is the real Barack Obama?" is simply a noble disagreement.
[quote]If the American people choose to vote in people whose stated goal is to take from producers to give to themselves then hey, who am I to argue? Certainly no one could blame me from taking full legal advantage of the tax code right? [/quote]Yep, since Kennedy dragged the margin down to 70%, promising strict tightening of loopholes, it's been fantasy. I can just envision your scrambling for every conceivable shelter.
[quote]If there was ever a civil war of red vs. blue voters, I think we can agree that it would be a pretty brief war. The red not only have most of the money but the guns and the will to use them. [/quote]Now that's funny![e digicons]:D[/e] In lieu of a civil war, how about a Marie Antoinette cake fight? [quote]It was around 250k, and the last I heard, it was at a 150k and dropping.[/quote]Yeah, no one ever makes it clear whether they're talking about gross income or taxable in
[quote]Nobody needs to do this, you just have to look at the rear-view mirror. 8 years.[/quote] That rear view ad was a masterpiece. Draginol will never change.
MSNBC which is clearly for Obama is running every ten minutes or so ads on Reverend Wright at his worst sponsored by the Republican party. I suppose in the station’s defense it is honoring free speech, but the bottom line is profit and greed. To McCain’s credit he has steered away from such negatives—much to Palin’s distress—for he is an honorable man, although he has had his own religious issues that could have backfired. Speaking of MSNBC
[quote]Let's face it, people getting hand outs are either lazy or disabled in some form. If they're lazy, they won't "rise up". If they're disabled, they can't.[/quote]cheez, this ranks of Marie ANtoinette!
[quote]But I'm incensitive for saying such a thing about the poor. I say we should go back to giving people on assistance surplus food. My aunts and uncles used to get it and it was good. They didn't like it so they gave it to my family (guess they didn't actually "need" it). [/quote] I was referring to this, Jill. I was trapped in a glitch and confined to a blue screen quick reply.
[quote]I take it "undermine" is another word for "reform"?[/quote]In an ultra conservative nation sense, yes. Any thing the Republicans do in the guise of their "revolution" is a return to basic "reform." Whereas when Dems want change it is subversion and UnAmerican.

[quote]I'm sick of politics now...so I hope no one minds the random stuff I'm throwing around to lighten the mood.[/quote]On the contrary, you're like SNL![e digicons]:beer:[/e]
[quote]So the argument is basically that those who choose not to have health insurance that have a health crisis should have their bills paid for by the people responsible enough to have health insurance?[/quote] That's precisely what the current system does! We all pay anyway. So why not make it mandatory as Hillary says? Not everyone has your self-reliance, you know, after all, since you now have the freedom to stop paying your health premiums you're not dumb enough to do so. But
So it's lawful for the banker knowing that in the safe is only one dollar yet draws up a car loan for $20,000[?]
[quote]It's one of the arguments in favour of tax simplification, because the more complex you make a tax system, the more loopholes and exploits you inevitably create for such people.[/quote]How true. The rich hire the fiercest tax lawyers that even invent loopholes! This is what doc is referring to [quote]The rich did not get that way by being stupid. They have ways to avoid confiscatory taxes that the rest of us do not have access to.[/quote] so tax reform is only
O my Republicans hate Robin Hood! Black lung is not pretty. A corn is tiny seeds compared to the mighty oak of republican strategy to suppress voting. M anaical are republicans when it comes to anyone who might be smarter. A pprehensive are those who perceive anything bordering on fairness.[e digicons]

[quote]Taking it further, if you want to be even more fair, you should have increased the amount of tip because you would be a party that represents the entity who controls the most amount of wealth.[/quote]Fat chance![e digicons]>:([/e]
[quote]But not anymore, now we're supposed to pay for health care for people who choose not to buy health insurance, provide housing for people who don't work, and countless other things in which we're working to provide for someone else who is doing nothing in return.[/quote]Man, are you getting nasty in your gross exaggerations! Would you want to stare four years at the portraits of angry McCain, smug Lieberman, and Calamity Jane?

[quote]I'm voting against Obama because I don't like Democratic policies. [/quote] I'll grant you that, but much of the criticism from both parties surreptitiously is racist.[e digicons]:puke:[/e]

[quote]I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.[/quote] Here I do tip my hat but begrudgingly since Obama is talking about a fair deal for those who do work[e digicons]:andrew:[/e] .
No hat tipping to Draginol for this blog which is purely academic since the credit crunch restaurants are going down the tubes.[e digicons]:'([/e]
