She was, after all, wealthy in candy. 0bama wants to take more, though you're right that it's nothing like 100% more. There's only a small material difference between 0bama and the RINO McCain.<BR/><BR/>My planned allowance stunt, with the quarters and all that, is more, shall we say, Ĺ“cumenical - I'll be ripping both Democrats and Republicans, as well as liberals. Not conservatives, though, since conservatives support less taxes, not wasting gov't money, not redistributing to the intentionally indigent, etc.Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13358611.post-56567738784657226222008-11-05T05:55:00.000-06:002008-11-05T05:55:00.000-06:00Good stuff.

I'm convinced a large portion of Americans are completely ignorant of the party platforms and if they actually understood, we would have alot less liberal votes.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697072499214349759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13358611.post-40818908622136264462008-11-04T19:00:00.000-06:002008-11-04T19:00:00.000-06:00I've actually got some commonality with you, with ...I've actually got some commonality with you, with regards to the question of taxation etc. However, in the matter of fairness, I have to ask how much the child was deprived of candy for the purposes of demonstrating the policies of John McCain ? For a kid of course the difference is zero. But even for an adult, you would need to compare the taxation rate of McCain versus the taxation rate of Obama. All it seems happened here is that someone demonstrated to the kid the Obama rate.<BR/><BR/>What happened when the McCain rate was demonstrated as well?<BR/><BR/>Don't tell me. You didn't do both...........<BR/><BR/>If you did, I'd be surprised if the reaction were different.Chris (from Oz)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09559381837370079164noreply@blogger.com
