Just makes me want to puke!

Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to "spread the wealth around" -- a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a "socialist" at the Republican's rallies.

Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed "more and more for fulfilling the American dream."

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

If the worst thing about Obama was his middle name, we wouldn't have anything to worry about. That's kinda grasping at straws isn't it?

Thats because the kool-aid is stronger then some thought and the hypnotized folks with goo goo eyes simply overdosed on it! The plan by dopey is if he could get some to drink enough then you will become addicted. Seems to have worked on some on this board. Much like crack, it should be illegal. I am trying to look at the brighter side! If Dopey wins then I can pound him for four years like Bush has been pounded. May be fun, one never knows!

Fun indeed! It was a wild ride and I hope you have as much fun as I did. Although, Bush made it almost too easy and it got a little boring.

Moderate Republican Now whines about the Coming Big Government

We’re in the middle of a financial crisis, but most economists say there is a broader economic crisis still to come. The unemployment rate will shoot upward. Companies will go bankrupt. Commercial real estate values will decline. Credit card defaults will rise. The nonprofit sector will be hammered.

By the time the recession is in full force, Democrats will probably be running the government. Barack Obama will probably be in the White House. Democrats will have a comfortable majority in the House and will control between 56 and 60 seats in the Senate.

The party will inherit big deficits. David Leonhardt, my colleague at The Times, estimates that the deficit will sit at around $750 billion next year, or five percent of G.D.P. Democrats had promised to pay for new spending with compensatory cuts, but the economic crisis will dissolve pay-as-you-go vows. New federal spending will come in four streams.

Not my words but the words of a "moderate" Republican.

He is getting what he wanted and now it looks ugly to him.

The moderates are the death of the Republican party.

Actually, I think it is the Liberal that the Moderates nominated that is dealing the death blow.

Hardly.

Do you really want to compare McCain to:

the top ten list of most Liberal Republicans.
