How would Obama's election affect taxes and other promises he's made?

[ZapperZ]

Obama is a "half-breed muslin"

Really!

Somehow, an "insult" just doesn't work when one can't spell very well, and when it reveals more of the "stupidity" of the person who wrote it.

Nevertheless, the sign is still hysterically funny. It is as silly as calling Mickey Mouse a "soldier of satan".

Zz.

Haven't you heard? Muslim is the new black.

I think in this case, it's more like calling Mickey Mouse a "soldier of Satin". ;P

I thought muslin was a thin insubstantial cheap white material. It's normally used for disposable backdrops and scenery but you have to be careful though - it is highly flammable and often dangerously bursts into flames at the wrong moment.
In surgery it's used to wrap around old weak blood vessels to support them and prevent aneurysms.

No political jokes there unfortunately.

Oh no.

It really does make one wonder if voting rights should have a lower IQ limit. This sort of thing is so pathetic that it makes me feel ill.

You have to wonder about the "intelligence" of people who forward emails blasting Obama for the views of his Protestant minister, then switch-hit to forwarding emails, blasting him for being a Muslim. Disconnect, anyone?

 

[CRGreathouse]

I didn't realize muslin was bred...

 

[muppet]

I thought he was a half-baked muesli?

All of you misunderstood the sign. Of course you can breed http://www.muslincats.ru/en/home/.

No one smart enough to run for President would wear a Muslin dress.

IMO, people like this, and there are plenty of them, can mostly be explained by one simple fact: Obama is the wrong color.

I have been noticing lately that many people who will not vote for Barack [I mean people that I encouter and talk with - in particular some members of my own family - and not necessarily anyone here] can't give one reason for it that stands the test of truth. So I don't think there is much of a hidden racial bias against Obama. I think people who are racist tend to admit up front that they won't support Obama, they just lie about the reasons why. It appears that many are even highly compelled to spread nonsense like the idiot linked in the op.

This guy is angry that the media actually went up to Alaska to finds out things about "Pollin."

 

[Moonbear]

Being a half breed muslin is probably better than being a poly-ester.

It's really not just Obama though. If you ask people why they don't support McCain, you also get a lot of odd answers that have nothing to do with reality (well, before Palin came on board anyway ). It's really scary how many people just vote by who they think looks more like a candidate and have no idea about the issues.

Or they assume that the farm lobby, the oil industry, the gun lobby, the $ETHNIC$ lobby, Wall St etc will set all the policies so you are only voting for how looks best on TV anyway.

As well as "Muslim", "Community Organizer" is also the new "n*****"

Hey, she supports a democrat (Hillary), there is *SOME* hope in the world!

People are going to be so mad when they find out he can't walk on water. This is happening to the governor of California right now.

He can't ?
They will fix it in the next version, Terminator-Vista.

Rove and the Republicans have raised fear mongering and hate as campaign tactics to unprecedented levels in modern politics. It is now what defines the Republican party: Fear and fluff. McCain promised to change this.

How many times have McCain and Palin lied by saying that Obama will raise your taxes? How many times have McCain and Palin misled voters by saying that Obama voted to cut funding for the troops? How many times have McCain and Palin lied by implying that we can drill for oil and solve the energy problem? Is Palin really the nation's leading energy expert, as McCain has claimed? Does Alaska's proximity to Russia really count as foreign policy experience, as McCain and Palin have claimed?

There is no comparison. The Republicans are now the party of deception. When Obama and Biden defended Obama's vote on the troop funding, they made it clear that McCain voted against funding as well, but as part of a larger package that he rejected, just as Obama did. They provided context that made their position honest and accurate. But not McCain; not Palin. They just lie and lie and lie.

Hey, I like that.

Did you hear about the new Republican laundry detergent; fear and fluff?

After what we've been through for the last eight years, a guy with lead boots could walk on water. But, luckily we have a born leader who is brillliant and a Constitutional scholar - a man who chose to serve the public good, rather than taking a high-paying, cushy job. Arnold was an actor and weight lifter.

Of course expectations are unrealistic. That is human nature.

I guess we'll find out if it's really lies if Obama gets elected. I'm betting that he WILL raise taxes. That, or a whole lot of the other promises he's making are lies, because I don't see any way he can accomplish everything he claims he will without raising taxes.

Then again, Obama's the one who said it wasn't important to be in Congress for the Wall Street bail out package vote and all his supporters claimed it must be because the vote was a sure thing...uh huh...that worked out well.

But you'll continue to see what you want to see.

Are you saying he should have, like, suspended his campaign, rushed to Washington (after some interviews), and then tried to look busy while getting in everybody's way?

I thought he said he didn't need to be in Congress for the bail out plan because there were roughly 100 other people working on it already. Would he have honestly just walked into the room and presented a plan, then segued into a party with cake and strippers?

I'm pretty pissed he hasn't been voting much while campaigning, but I honestly don't think his presence or absence would have made a difference in the package deal.
