OK now! Here’s your big chance to become an “Obama-ton”! Show everyone how much you like tax increases! You really, really want to send your money to the IRS! What the heck, maybe even send more to our Dem. Governor! Why we can even have another SURPLUS to waste! Be an Obama-ton and send more money to the feds! [oh, be sure not to look at “BO’s” senate voting record now]. Just be a sheep.

The fact that Schweitzer is actually supporting Obama proves a point; liberals don’t value character and liberals don’t value liberty.

We am a long time California liberal. After moving to Marion, we have changed our minds on gun controls, taxes, property rights and abortion. That said, there is no way that we could support a slick talking, double talking, life taking, energy neophyte, tax and spend liberal like Obama. It may only be 3 electoral votes but it is our electoral votes. Go McCain.

Is it worth pondering where 8 years of republican leadership has brought us?
“According to analyst Michael Hodges, average family income adjusted for inflation declined six percent from 1999 to 2005, and the drop has continued since then. With families no longer able to borrow on their shrinking home equity for purchasing power due to the collapse of the housing bubble, they have had to tap into their savings. According to Hodges, “As of summer 2007, savings were a negative 1.3 percent, an all-time low.” (Grandfather Economic Report, August 2008)”

Taxation:
And Obama’s tax increases are going to ADD to your savings. Pass the Kool Aide.

Partisan identification. Yeah, that’s the solution. Go team humans!

Pres. Bush and/or Republicans did not cause the housing mortage mess. Greedy banks and incautious buyers did. And - again - Taxes will not add to your savings, will not add to anything but further slowing the economy as people will have less discretionary money to spend. But then, the “obamatons” will bleet anything as they bobble along believing the propaganda. [While they ignore his record].
