so it was strong critical thinking kept people from McCain rallies?

I actually almost buy that.

Responses:

McCain's campaign was based on what needed to be done--reform and national security...not some undefined "change," which is apparently higher taxes - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 18:54 29
- *all* taxes are redistribution of wealth. cutting taxes is redistribution of wealth. - mafic Nov 7, 18:59 24
  - putting money in the hands of those who don't pay taxes is welfare; you're right, I work and don't like the idea of others sponging off of those who - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:03 23
    - Everyone pays taxes. -- nm - BB Nov 7, 19:09 6
      - What don\'t you get about welfare? -- nm - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 19:14 5
        
        For starters, the fact that it isn't welfare. It's amazing that Obama hasn't even taken office yet, and already you feel oppressed by The Black Man! - BB Nov 7, 19:17 2
        
        It\'s welfare if you cut them a check. No wonder you voted for him, you obviously don\'t understand his policies, because if you did you may - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 19:19 1

        That Obama created it. I don't get that. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 19:16
    - guess what deficit spending is? you know, like you've had for the last 7 years? - mafic Nov 7, 19:08 15
      - There you go, typical lib talk. Don\'t like the facts so you spin it over to Bush. - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 19:11 14
        
        note how I said above it *is* redistribution. wealth redistribution is what *all* government does. - mafic Nov 7, 19:16
        
        According to mafic's post, I'm responsible for the deficit...which means I'm in DC and elected (people like me) - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:14 7
        
        if that means you're leaving, I'm happy to take one for the team. - mafic Nov 7, 19:19 5
        
        If the herd could justify even 1/3 of Obama's policies, it would be different, but no can -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:22 4
        
        Obama hasn't actually set any policy yet. I welcome civil discourse about the merits of his policies when he is President. - ty97 Nov 7, 19:25 1
        
        WTF did 53% vote for then, if not his policy? Cult of personality -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:37
        
        you're still here? -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 19:23 1
        
        yeah, I enjoy discourse with reason....but it is getting late, and without your reasoning, this is boring -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 19:25
        
        Typical. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 19:17
        
        You just defined the American tax system, which is not an Obama creation. Are you proposing ending federal taxes? -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 19:13 4
        
        Im proposing not cutting a check to those individuals that don\'t pay taxes. -- nm - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 19:15 3
        
        I have yet to meet an American citizen who does not pay taxes. How many do you know? -- nm - BB Nov 7, 19:19
        
        Yet you are acting like taxes and federal programs are a creation of an Obama administration. - ty97 Nov 7, 19:19
        
        Typical. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 19:16
- Change was a blank slate in which individuals could project their hopes and aspirations. Unfortunately they are in for a huge let down because Obama - Notadumbliberal Nov 7, 18:57 3
  - exactly...he'll do whatever is politically expedient. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 7, 18:59
  - does the print get another size smaller? I forget how small Bery set it for :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 7, 18:59 1
