Remember people. We only have 6 more days of the non-stop political threads. Well, probably another 2 or 3 days after the election. Gotta have the threads for the gloaters who won, and the slammers who lost. After that, can we please get back to the important issues:
Bacon
Bacon
And More Bacon....

You're gonna get pork alright, but not the tasty kind.

alot of "middle class" people are really struggling. there healthcare costs energy costs and basic needs have risen through the roof. there jobs are being outsourced and there homes forclosed on. im not talking about the well off if your making 200,000 a year and your taxes go back to the way they were pre-Bush so be it. for 8 years the middle class got nothing but screwed. we were told by giving breaks to the wealthy it would spur our economy. while oil companies and CEO's were making windfall profits the family of 4 making 45000 are losing there job, home, etc...
you dont get it because these things probably haven't effected you. maybe you lost in the market but you'll still have your nice home, nice car, all your toys and food to eat. but ALOT of Americans dont. seniors have to choose between medicine and food. John Doe's good paying steel job shipped overseas. Nurses can't afford there own healthcare. poor kids cant afford college. all of these people have been paying attention the last 8 years they see how Bush and the GOP has catered to the rich and the multi nationals, they know what has happened to this country and they are hungry for someone who speaks there language, someone who understands there struggles and most importantly someone who has been there!
THATS WHY NEXT TUESDAY IT WILL BE BARACK IN A LANDSLIDE!!!!!

So, I don't get it because I started working at McDOnalds, worked hard in high school. Earned a chemistry degree, then a medical degree. I did a residency and overall gave up 12 years of my life after high school. I'm an evil rich person? I'm not a "working person"? I'm to be hated and punished by a gov't that thinks it knows better than me what to do with MY TIME, MONEY and LABOR? My pursuit of excellence is for nothing?
Continue to think like the good socialist you are. Then like New York, when all the "rich" folks leave your Govenor will be asking for more money for your state too.

It is NOT the Government's job to provide health care.
It is NOT the Government's job to regulate the job market. If Joe can't compete globally then he needs to get a different job.
It is NOT the Government's job to put a poor kid through college. Plenty of poor college students put down the beer and get a job or two to pay for it themselves.
It is not the Government's job to punish the rich to give to the poor. The rich got the largest tax break because they were paying the largest amount.
It is NOT the Government's job to keep a family in a house they can't afford.
It is not the Government's job to provide for a family of 4 making $45,000 a year. Here's a novel concept; don't have 2 kids if you and your wife are pulling in $20,000 a piece. Obviously you aren't ready for a family.
It is the Government's job to enforce treaties and provide for the National Defense.

Oscar: Did you pay for all that schooling in cash, or did the SOCIALIST gummint loan you some money to make it possible? And, of course you don't accept either Medicare or any commie insurance in your practice - only cash paying customers! Get real, folks. You guys like to pretend like it is the 18th century, with unbridled raptorism for an economic plan, but you forget that wealth trickles up, too, and sometimes better. Oh, yeah - all that hi tech medical stuff, who do you think paid for its development - the commie government in Washington, thats who. Try to practice your profession without the advances that are traceable directly back to NIH and NSF - paid for by the evil government.

Must not be too proud of your profession if you think getting a medical degree is 'giving up 12 years of your life'. Give me a break. You did it for the delusion you'd make big bucks as Dr. McSteamy. Do you have a specialty, or you just a GP making less than me because the HMO's won't give you but $25 for that 30 minute exam you expect $85 for?

I don't expect you to cry Bionicarm. Heck, I don't even expect you to know history well enough to understand how many Americans died for freedoms you are so willing to throw away....
I just posted a simple question; I wonder how many of our men/women died defending the Constitution hoping someday it would be thrown away?

No. McCain just wants to practice Socialism and give me $%K to by overinflated insurance.

It is NOT the Government's job to regulate the job market. If Joe can't compete globally then he needs to get a different job.

No. It's their job to degregulate the fees colleges charge so the universities can charge $20,000/year for that education, when it used to cost a third of that.

It is not the Government's job to punish the rich to give to the poor. The rich got the largest tax break because they were paying the largest amount.
Look up his tax table. Most American get a bigger tax break under it.

It is NOT the Government's job to keep a family in a house they can't afford.
Yea. Your candidate voted yes to the same bailout bill. Your point?

It is not the Government's job to provide for a family of 4 making $45,000 a year. Here's a novel concept; don't have 2 kids if you and your wife are pulling in $20,000 a piece. Obviously you aren't ready for a family.
Hey, here's a thought. They can't afford kids, so let them have abortions. Oh that's right, we don't believe in that.

It is the Government's job to enforce treaties and provide for the National Defense.
So to jusitify this, you let the government spend over $1 trillion for a useless war you're profiting on.

Sounds like the good ole U S of A isn't your cup of tea anymore mate. Like I told your earlier, enjoy that tax free bonanza you're making over there in SandLand, head to AussieLand, AND NEVER COME BACK.

*If insurance is inflated why does everyone want it?
*A tax credit is not Socialism.
*Your Education comment, ironically, makes no sense.
*Tax comment makes no sense. You seem to be trying to tie in my comments to Obama's tax plan. That is not in any way what I said.
*Yet again, trying to take my comment regarding housing and apply it to something I was not addressing.
*Nope, don't believe in abortions. You realize there are alternatives to getting pregnant, right? In fact, a little less sleeping around and more working might help quite a few folks to get better jobs and provide for themselves...
*Thousands of Al Qaeda have died in Iraq. To me that is not a worthless war. Your results may vary.
*I'm not profiting on the War.
Funny thing is, i seem to remember you bragging not too long ago about the contract work you did for the military in San Antonio.
*It sounds to me like many of you don't know what the Good Ole USA stands for.
If I move to Australia, I'll remain a registered voter in Texas, rest assured.

Reb, your a young guy. Do some searching on the rise of Fidel Castro to power in Cuba. And in that research, take note of Cuba pre-Castro then Cuba with Castro. Let me know then how great Socialism is. It allways sounds cool at first, but has terrible results. Would you really want the government to control how much sugar, coffee, meat, rice, anything that you can buy?? You can only have X amount of gas for your car. You can raise a cow, in your yard, but you cannot eat it.
Just do a little fact checking before you jump too fast on what seems like a good deal. Usually if it's too good to be true.....you know.
Of course, some nut case will jump on this and say "Do you really think it would be like Cuba? Your stupid." It's how it starts.
