"Are you better off now than you were eight years ago"? Mostly no.

"They bamboozled us into a war in Iraq"

Well a few stirred un-needed fear into the rest - but the Dem's were just as stupid.

" ... neglected our injured vets ... " There's enough blame to go both ways.

" ... their policies cost our economy 750,000 jobs this year alone .. " There's enough blame to go both ways.

" ... trillions of dollars in Wall Street greed and irresponsibility .. " There's enough blame to go both ways.

"... tax cuts for the super-wealthy ..." Well htat was classic Republican BS . as are the curent state of added .. it's trickle down, let them eat the scraps mentality.

" ... where would we be now if Social Security privatization had been approved ..." That depends .. had they simply invested as many Americans do, we'd be where I am - same place I was inin 1999. Had they invested in CDS's, America would own 90% of the world ... at least on paper and at least until the DC Clowns gave it away .... again.

This time, vote for yourself and your children — vote ABD/ABR: Anybody But Democratic / Anybody But Republican!

Another extremely pitiful letter from a sheep who has been brainwashed into believing their happiness and prosperity depends on who she votes for.

"vote Democratic!"

No thanks, Joan. I see no benefit in Marxist politicians confiscating Exxon/Mobil's money, skimming about 75% off the top to stuff their vote buying war chests with, then mailing us a check with the leftovers that will simply be eat up by higher prices at the pump.

So you aren't casting a vote for Sarah Palin?

" ... confiscating Exxon/Mobil's money ... "

.. you mean like Sarah did, Neo?

Your first paragraph says "read, listen, learn the facts". so far so good.
Then you blow it with "vote democratic".
I guess you didn't read, listen nor learn the facts.
Neither canidate will do what they claim they will. They will both burden the taxpayer even more.
Vote "none of the above".

Apparently the writer is new to North Carolina, the highest taxed of the 12 Southern states, including one of the highest gas taxes in the country, yet still have some of the worst roads because the Demo-Rat controlled has stolen hundreds of millions from the highway fund, funded by those high gas taxes, the misuse of the tobacco settlement funds, the incarceration of the top Demo-Rat in the General Assembly, an optometrist who required that all children have eye exams before starting school, a governor who thinks the state helicopter is his personal toy to get to and from his ill-gotten beach house, and his equally corrupt wife who just recently while on a taxpayer funded trip spent $70,000 to rent a chauffer driven, luxury limo, and dined on caviar, and bought an expensive sweater which was listed as some item needed for her "meetings."

The governor, apparently not satisfied with just a helicopter, ordered a $9 million jet, courtesy of the taxpayers.

The writer, in her infinite wisdon, tells us that to find out what the candidates stand for go to their web sites! My God, what a fool. Where does Obama talk about "spreading the wealth" on his web site? He's been running for two years, and we jsut found out about that little beauty, but not because of the media that is supposed to keep us informed, but because of simple, middle class working stiff who caught him off guard, and blew his cover. For having the insensitivity to ask a candiate a difficult question, the gentleman was mocked by both Biden, and Obama the next day, then had the state of Ohio using their computers to try to dig up dirt on him!

There are countless audio, and video recordings of how Obama feels about our Constitution, which he called a document of "negative" values, that judges should get involved with "redistributive" policies to promote "economic justice" (right from Karl Marx), that we need a new "New Deal" (which two UCLA economics professors recently told us what many of us already knew, that the New Deal did not pull us from the depression, but actually lengthened it by a couple of years. Of course they don't teach that in our government indoctrination camps!), and in a radio interview a few years back told us that he see some parallels in our country to what happened in Nazi Germany during WWII. I didn't see any of that on hsi web site.

You need to look at what the candidates have done, not what they say they will do. Bill Clinton campaigned on a middle class tax cut! How did that promise work out! Now Obama is going to cut taxes for everyone who makes less than $250,000, or $200,000, or $150,000, or $120,000 depending on which campaing stop it is, and which of his sycophants is talking! Please show me when Obama EVER introduced legislation cuttin taxes, or voted AGAINST a tax increase.

The writer is simply another sad testament to our miserably failed public education system. These mindless "sheeple" (an apt description I heard recently of far too many Americans today) think they're going be educated about the policies of people who lie for a living, by going to their sites, or listening ro their almost totally dishonest campaign commercials. This country is finished!

Heee.......heeeee.... Joan's a jokester!

... yea, but 20th nation wide, Mr. Baloney .. and that includes Alaska that recently demonstrate income redistribution by passing a windfall profits tax on Exxon/Mobile.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/336.html

You forgot to mention that i also didn't mention that the per capita income from your table shows North Carolina near the bottom, even below W. Va! Low income, high taxes. Sounds like a state run by Demo-Rats for far too long.

What Palin did in Alaska was transfer the oil tax money from the corrupt politicians, mostly Republicans, in bed with the oil companies, to the citizens of the state in the form of annual rebates, the kind the D-Rats like to come from one taxpayer to another.

If the oil companies were making a 25% net profit, rather than the approximately 8% they now make, I'd consider supporting a windfall (what they mean is excess profits, as windfall profits are profits that you've done nothing to earn, like the government gets from the oil companies!) profits tax, if someone can tell me who gets to determine what is excessive!

Once again we've just heard the demagogue shouting to his brain dead, adoring acolytes how Exxon-Mobil just announced the biggest quarterly proft $1.4 billion (or about 8.5%) of any company in history. He somehow? forgot to mention they also paid the highest quarterly tax of any company in history, while providing the product that is the life blood of Western Civilization, and has allowed us to become the greatest country in the history of the world, the same country that Obama, and the D-Rats continually tear down.

I've lived in Spain, N. Africa, S.E. Asia, and visited Italy, many of the Carribbean Islands, a few Central American countries. I enjoyed most of those places, mostly because I didn't have to live in any of them permanently, or for a significant period of time, and upon return I thanked God for depositing me here in America. Some of the America haters who pollute this country should be forced to live in some of the above named places for one year, living off their economies, and obeying their laws, then tell me what an awful place this is to live!

The "per capita income .. shows North Carolina near the bottom".

So either there is a great disparity between the rich and the poor (probably if not definate), or the NC mean (that's the midway between extremes, Tony, in case you did not know) get's paid very little - in which place NC is more like WV.

Show it otherwise or be shown a fool.

"What Palin did in Alaska was transfer the oil tax money from the corrupt politicians, mostly Republicans, in bed with the oil companies, to the citizens of the state ... "

1) That's patently untrue. Oil profits, generated in part by "America" giving away it's assets to a corporation, were going onto corporation coffers. Show otherwise or be shown a fool.

2) Most Republicans are therefore corrupt politicians in bed with the oil companies. Tell me why I should ever vote for one (which I did today, bte) OR be shown a fool and shut your partisan mouth.

Which do you chose?

"Exxon-Mobil paid the highest quarterly tax of any company in history."

So what. Give me the assets of America, and I'll gladly shell out a fraction - even "the highest quarterly tax" fraction.

"I thanked God for depositing me here in America."

Me too .. as are most if not everyone within this blog. What's your point? My point is the reasonn we thank God is the reason those doing well should be happy to pay the cost. The mantra should be "God deposited me in America and therefore I so let me support the American system which was based on fairness ... counter to King George's Cronyism".

... funny how "King George's Cronyism" rings true now as it did 225 years ago, although GWB is only one in a long line.

BTW, Mr Baloney Bozo .. 25% net profit means a quarter of all costs after every expense is paid, including salaries and taxes and oil booms (the reauired but missing gizmo that made Exxon Valdese spill into a tax-pater finded disaster).

The 8% you tout is final percentage - profit after every loophole known to mankind has been exploited 110%. The 25% net profit is really a quarter of the monies after everything they can concievably add up has already been accounted for and deducted from because of a corporate-generous tax structure.

Fellow seniors, where would we be now if Social Security privatization had been approved?

About $350,000.

That's just me. You can figure out yours for yourself.
