Well, McCain was offering me $100 & Obama was offering me $1100. I'll take the $1100 personally. And I think Obama has a much better chance of getting his plan though as during a time of crisis it's much better to have unified goverment so you can get things done, in spite of the lame argument that we should have divided government (as McCain said once he realized he was going to lose).

There ya go. $1100 is your target. Write down your current taxes/tax-table number and be sure to check it. Speaking for myself, I didn't believe either one of them -- whenever a politician says to me, "I'll give you this", for some reason an image of the Brooklyn Bridge pops into my head. What can I say, I'm jaded. My attitude anymore is, "just leave me the 'eff alone. Just being a lawyer running for office is strike one, so kindly stay away from me, Mr. Candidate". At any rate, if a politician actually fulfilled a promise to me I'd be quite happy (amazed!!!), but if he didn't, I'd take it out of his a**...

Personally, I don't need a tax cut - but I think we need it for those who make less than I do, where they are supposed to be targeted.

It will be nice to have an intelligent person in the WH again who doesn't act like a petulant child with substance dependency issues.

I'm watching the new South Park now - it's funny and should entertain those who are cynical at this time! It was all a big conspiracy!!

i suppose quietleaf summed up the angle of attack with a sharp number 2 penciel.

I was going to say,,"im gonna add this link to my favorites and then email it to myself set for future delivery one year from now, reminding me to ask you how your taxes are.

So the election is over and its been nice to let this troll as long as it has on the board. Overall, ive been moody more often than I like since may2005 and i am personally ready to flip the switch and play nice for a little while again.

lets see how long it lasts.:D

ITs been a good thread and we learned a lot about different things here and kept it civil. Its really nice knowing there are many people in here who share common thoughts and ideas on the various topics touched upon. At this point we all have no choice but to take the magic capet ride and see where it goes from here. As with each election, "we will see"

Im signing out , good day.

Talking about common sense and tokin' it up in the same breath. I'm not even gonna bother here for there's no need....

Get your head out of your ass. Do you know anyone who drinks?

Watch 'The Union', then talk to me about common sense and why you've been trained to think Pot is the downfall of society. Fighting a war on pot sure is a big industry, with a lot of people making a shiznit-load of money. Fighting pot creates crime, and that's an irrefutable fact. I'm not talking about hard drugs, just pot. The near beer of illegal drugs.

And Jcassidy, you should watch it too. I know you're a conspiracy kind of guy, so it might be up your alley, since I know you hate being duped by policy makers. I'm a pot smoker, in case you didn't know, and I'll tell you I'm a fully functioning member of society, who works every day of his life and overpays his taxes every year, without fail. I've never been a drain on anyone, and I never plan to be. Believe it or not, there are grey areas in this world, and sometimes we're lied to by our governments about why we think and do certain things.

And if you think this is off topic, then you've never seen a political vent before.

it has nothing to do with the natural herb, its got more to do with leadway. Its the "give and inch and some take a mile" that i know will happen.

In my opinion, a very huge percentage of people who do change become very focused and ,,how do i put it,,,smarter. The majority become a problem to others and thier work.

talk about ironic that BO's policy is for "change":D

personally I think we should have all written in Ted Nugent!

The Miami Herald quotes Nugent on his potential platform: "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

Get-R-Done!

Just want to applaud you for your excellent post - the definition of "common sense" right here. Oh, and let's not get started on the "boogie men" that the government has created to "scare" us into certain positions on certain topics. It's documented and it would take 1000 posts just to make a dent in the propaganda that we have been fed over the past 8 years.

I don't really care about money and its involvement with the war on drugs. For your information I DONT get my beliefs "spoon fed" to me by the goverment. I simply have no respect for stoners. That is the absolute epitome of stupidity. There are so many negatives associated with the type of people you usually find habitually using drugs. I'm surprised someone as intelligent as you oldraven, partites in this. I feel that nothing good comes of it and at least for ME, anyway, whether or not money is made off the war on drugs, if it helps in any way to keep up the stigma associated with drug use, GOOD. The day pot is legalized is the day I move WAYYY out into the middle of nowhere and avoid any even moderately populated area. Im not smelling that on a day to day basis and listening to people babble like zombies.

And the propaganda I'm talking about has been around since Nixon started it. There are a lot of anti-war activists standing on the doorstep, making a scene. They're not breaking the law, but we've got to get them off the streets, and away from the public ear. I know! A lot of them seem to be smoking marijuana. They want a War to protest, we'll give them one they can protest from behind bars.

my fear is that the 2 party system is turning politics into a sport. Note the red and blue states, note the cheering for "we" won and "you" lost. in the end we ALL live within the same borders. George Washington as stated in his farewell address, spoke of the dangers of the 2 party system. http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/farewell/text.html

As far as the Socialism scaremongering goes, how do you think we got ourselves out of the depression? Roosevelt and Wilson were accused of being socialist because of the TVA and other programs to include SOCIAL security...so whatcha gonna do? I didnt vote for him but I am an American before I am anything and will give him a chance.
