About lowering taxes I thought you liberals out there said, let me get this correct, “TAX CUTS DON’T WORK”? So why is Emperor Obama beating a dead horse. Hmmmmm???
Because the Reps FORCED those in. Did you not pay attention? Reid is having to point out the tax cuts, because after forcing them in, the Reps now are beating the “he’s raising taxes” drum. Once again, you cannot have it both ways. Hypocrits.
B of A, AIG, F-22, V-22, DARPA, Blackwater, gee, money siphoned down all these drains, and it’s suddenly too costly to put a plumber (not Joe) to work clearing them?

So you have a problem with the F-22 Raptor? The most SAFEST and advanced fighter in the world? Faster then an F-15, it uses less fuel and is virtually invisible to radar? I agree with AIG. You forgot GM too. They plan on filing bankruptcy after the billions given to them.
mtt: According to opensecrets.org, Soros gave $4400 to Obama: $2300 on July 31, 2008 and $2100 on January 26, 2007.
Just for clarification, $4400 out of $744,985,625 raised (again, according to opensecrets.org), Soros gave Obama approximately 0.0006% of the contributions.
Machado, have you ever actually analyzed the word “socialist,” or is it just a red flag that you love to charge at? It means that society has an obligation to all of its members. A social obligation, just like many traditional church societies do within their own purviews. It does not mean giving away billions to already-rich bankers.

Faster then an F-15, it uses less fuel and is virtually invisible to radar? _The average unit flyaway cost for the F/A-22 in 2003 was about $178 million. at that cost it better be faster and usr less fuel then the F-15 but funny that the F-15 can still get the job done.
Seeing as the F-22 program in part helped fund my paycheck at my previous emplyer, I loved it. It is an amazing plane. However, the question arises: in today’s world what is it meant to fight? When our older equipemnt is still generations ahead of everyone else–and we have proven without a shadow of doubt nobody can survive a classic pitched battle with our forces, why invest so much in a waepons race we have won? These were built for the last war–our current foes have realized they cannot win that war, so are changing the game; we need to adapt to that, and the F-22–excellent as it is–is not really the answer.

“Did anyone see that idiot Harry Reid trying to explain how paying taxes was voluntary?”
no but i saw him saying that the stimulus package would lower taxes on 95% of Americans.
I thought…”but over 30% of Americans don’t even pay taxes. How do you go lower than zero?”
I guess its some of that “higher math”.

love to have a peek at benson and McCoy’s finances and see just how much could be traced back to the RNC
