[quote=SETH,331750]Hi Dodger - I believe you are correct about the main stream media. They are all squarely for Obama. People I work with and myself question all of the issues and try to find some truth in between all the lies and mud slinging. I think this has to be the nastiest, most mean spirited election I have even seen or read about. To me (and remember, politics is very subjective), Obama is a very well educated articulate and likable guy. But his ultra-liberal ideas are pure socialism and even communistic in ways. "Redistribution of wealth", for example, doesn't work. It kills incentive and rewards to do nothings by stealing from the industrious. When I hear "Redistribution of wealth" I think it's lawyer-speak for Marx-Lennin ideologies that haven't worked in the old USSR or in China. "Socialized Medicine" has been a total failure everywhere it has been tried. Hillary's plan back during the Clinton years was scrapped because it was too expensive and unworkable. McCain is the only one even discussion cutting and controlling spending. Obama promises things he cannot deliver. Plus he just plain lies when he says he won't raise taxes for the middle class. The trillions of dollars of give-aways he is promising will have to be paid somehow. And more deficit spending is definitely not the answer. Obama's big tax increase for the over $250,000 earners is not going to amount to much, since it raises the tax bracket from 36% to 39% (big deal!). The rich can always afford better lawyers to find the loopholes and hide their money. The burden will obviously fall right back on the middle class. But so many people believe Obama that it scares me. Maybe people here on average are as selfish and stupid as Barontwangle would have us believe. Obama's taxing businesses more will only cause businesses to go out of business, or send more work off-shore for cheaper wages. Either way, unemployment will rise and the American people will take it in the shorts! Word has it that McCain is making progress in the polls against Obama, but you'd never know it. CNN and MSNBC are obviously totally biased. Fox seems a bit more objective. The most obnoxious part of the whole election are those complete morons who say if you don't vote for Obama you are racist! Well. I won't vote for him based on the issues and his positions, so I guess I'm racist too! I always thought Martin Luther King said that his dream was "when a man would be judged by the strength of his character and not the color of his skin". MLK is probably turning over in his grave! I read somewhere that in a Democracy, people don't always get what they want or need, but the do get what they deserve! Should continue to be interesting.[/quote]
