Debates of all ilk

I support repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax before the year, perhaps it''s '09 or maybe 2010, it starts affecting incomes under $70K annual. That's gonna mean a GIANT tax increase for, well, for the likes of me ... and i consider myself, in West Los Angeles, decidely middle class.

So unless that's repealed, which you could view as a cut in current tax law, taxes are going to go significantly up for the middle class. And yet, if that were abolished, revenues would not be lower than they are now.



I don't think that's necessarily the "middle class tax cut" Obama is proposing, but it's one I wholeheartedly support.

I thought you were against income taxes all together, ISM.

I do not like you, John McCain. My feeling has nothing to do with issues. It has to do with common courtesy. During the debate, you refused to look Barack Obama in the eye. Indeed, you refused to look at him at all. Even when the two of you shook hands at the start, you used your eyes only to locate his hand, and then gazed past him as you shook it. Obama is my guy. If you are rude to him, you are rude to me. If you came to dinner at my house and refused to look at or speak with one of my guests, that would be bad manners and I would be offended. Same thing if I went to your house. During the debate, you were America's guest.

Oofta!
Ebert gives McCain a thumbs down.
Weird commentary from a film critic...

Actually, a film critic reviewing a debate seems like a logical next step given much of the current political coverage.

flash player is not up to snuff. Later, when I get home, then.

Um, question. Are we going to have a new thread for each debate ... or should we change the name of this one to have a single debate thread?


I think the political threads are proliferating pretty wildly around here .... but maybe that's just me.

I'd be fine with a mod changing the title. We can put the VP debate stuff here too.
