Oh, I care a lot about tax policy, I just don't care much about the taxes I personally pay.

I am more interested in spending then taxes......if the Feds spend a $100, that's a $100 we as a nation have to bear; pretending like the "rich" or "big business" or whoever is paying it is delusional.....you're paying it; even if you pay no taxes you still pay some way or another.

Wow, then the cost of the war must really be grating on you, Jeff.;)

I have no problem with our tax dollars going for such things as improved infrastructure, education, national security, etc. I am just dumbfounded at the incredible waste and graft that occurs by the people we charge with the responsibility to implement these things. They don't care- most of them don't even pay into Social Security and such, and they are set for life. I'd like to see EVERY 'public servant' have to pay the same sort of taxes we do, and try to live on their savings and SS like the rest of the country.

...ahh yes...it's the chromosome twins.

Okay, I may be flamed for this, but it supports the point I was making earlier.

Last night, Obama was reamed. Reamed by Palin and the media is all over her lauding her speech and what she said.

And where is the strong rebuttal from Obama as of this post? Where is the 'Palin is wrong about the following items and here they are' response to the speech?

This is exactly the Kerry-esque flaccidity that screwed him. While there is no response, no hard hitting comeback, what Palin said will sink in with the undecided.

Well, I'll give them through the weekend to bite back in the media.


I admire the high road taken by Obama in declaring Palin's family off-limits, and taking the further good-guy step of stating he himself was the child of an 18-year-old mother. But if they let Palin's schoolyard attacks go unchallenged, I'm not going to wait until he gets into office to start being disappointed.

The weekend is too long of a wait.
They should have responded already.
In less time, McCain wiped Obama's speech off of the map with his Palin announcement.
There should have been a response that was hard-hitting already.


It's interesting that Palin's family is off-limits, but heck she can sure as sh!t support laws that invade the private lives of other families. Yeah, you are carrying your father's child... too bad no abortion for you. You two men, yeah you've been together for 30 years but no wedding for you.

I imagine they're waiting to see what McCain says.

Interestingly, according to Gallup, there aren't very many undecideds to worry about.
