		<description>I think that McCain she just retire he is too old to run for any office, and half of the time he is not paying any attention to what he is talking about. He should invest is time wisely by checking into the nearest nursing home and call it quits!!!</description>

		<description>Like I said: their angwy widdle woods now done,  Repukes are all lining up like good little fascists.  The latest: Rick Santorum.

**********************************************
&quot;Oh, Rick. You were supposed to be the lone holdout. All of those other far-right Republicans swallowed hard and endorsed John McCain, but not Rick Santorum. You wouldn’t even consider it. No sirreebob.

You called the prospects of a McCain presidency “very dangerous.” Just last month, even after McCain had wrapped up the nomination, you still said there was just no way you could support the guy.

“The only one I wouldn’t support is McCain,” Santorum said during an interview in his office at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, where he is a senior fellow.

“I don’t agree with him on hardly any issues,” Santorum said. “I don’t think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction.”

And today, those strong-willed principles suddenly mattered a little less.

Those conservatives who still question whether they can support McCain should remember this: The next president will make more than 2,700 political appointments, those who really set policy, across the bureaucracy of our government. I, for one, will sleep better at 3 a.m. if Republicans are in the cabinet and in White House positions that make so many critical decisions. The idea of “Attorney General John Edwards” and “Energy Secretary Al Gore” should cause some sleepless nights for Republicans or conservatives - and those in a U.S. manufacturing sector now struggling to stay afloat.

Here’s my final argument for John McCain. He’s not Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

The GOP closes ranks. It always does.

Santorum concluded:

Many of my fellow Republicans have faulted me privately and publicly for being so outspoken about McCain, suggesting that I should have kept my mouth shut. First, I’ve never been very good at that. Second, I do not regret being up-front about such an important decision. Third, the primaries are a time when each party wrestles over what it’s looking for in a presidential candidate. Now is the time to come together.

As for the Reagan Axiom, given his opponent, McCain is close enough to 80 percent for government work. That is why I am going to vote for my friend — John McCain.

A month ago, McCain was too “dangerous” for Santorum to even consider. McCain had wrapped up the nomination, but Santorum wouldn’t budge. And now, it’s “time to come together” behind Santorum’s “friend.” How touching.

I mention this for a couple of reasons. First, it’s fun to tweak Santorum. Second, I argued months ago that the far-right voices who swore up and down they could never back McCain would end up backing McCain, and they have. I’m relieved they proved me right.

And finally, because it’s a reminder about what parties always do after a contested primary. McCain has enjoyed the luxury of time — he secured the GOP nomination while Dems continued to beat the crap out of each other, and got to work mending fences with his conservative critics. There are holdouts — James Dobson doesn’t seem to care about McCain’s overtures — but by and large, Santorum is following the predictable model.

The question I’ve been pondering, though, is whether the Democratic race will wrap up too late for the party to come back together again. Time will tell.&quot;

Hell yes we will.  If only to shut the door on the party that has brought fascism to America--the GOP.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.&lt;/i&gt;

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.</i></p>

		<description>FROM ANOTHER THREAD  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

David B — I like your post — very accurate… The Right Wing is SO living in fear, that they are calling benefits of “PLAIN OLD HARD WORK” — Government hand outs!! 

However, if they worked hard at their own jobs, and their employers rewarded them with extremely good benefit packages, they would say that they WORKED for it!! 

Well — So do those European people!!</description>

		<description>The gold standard. Hmmm do I want the dollars in my pocket to be anchored to a finite precious metal that has done nothing but increase in value? That has tripled in value recently?

Or would I rather have some ignorant chairman from a massively secretive bank unconstitutionally control the value of the dollar in my pocket. The same fiat system that bails out failing banks on my dime. 

Tough choice GMC. I can see though that you would rather have some moron dictate what your retirement is worth. 

Some idiot wrote some racist crap in a news letter and it cost him his job. That, you want to tie to Ron Paul and state that he is a racist. Big whiff on that one scooter, specially since the president of the NAACP stood up for Ron. Speaks volumes. And you ignoring the same speaks volumes to your ignorance of the decades old story. 

Now, you want to look at track records? Paul’s is absolutely spotless in voting. McCain? Not so much. 

&lt;b&gt;McCain Kennedy&lt;/b&gt;? Didn’t know you supported amnesty GMC. 
&lt;b&gt;McCain-Feingold&lt;/b&gt;? Didn’t know you hated the first amendment GMC
&lt;b&gt;McCain-Lieberman&lt;/b&gt;? Didn’t know you were and anti-coorporation GW sky is falling liberal GMC
McCain-Kennedy-Edwards – Didn’t know you supported lawsuit abuse GMC
&lt;b&gt;McCain&lt;/b&gt;-Reimportation of Drugs 
&lt;b&gt;McCain&lt;/b&gt; was agin the Bush tax cuts afore he was a fore em. Flip flop anyone?
&lt;b&gt;The Gang of 14&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Keating five?&lt;/b&gt;

Great candidate you have there GMC. And yes, Ron Paul is still a candidate. He is still funded and supported. He hasn’t quit. More importantly his message will live far past the convention and Nov Elections. Paul’s message, voting record, and repeated schooling of Bernanke will still be strong long after McCain (God forbid) takes office and shows you the true liberal he is. 
 
But keep supporting the socialist anti-constitution hot tempered, can&#039;t even &lt;i&gt;spell&lt;/i&gt; economy can&#039;t wait to bomb Iran though he doesn&#039;t know why dolt McCain.</description>

Another IRS deadline date is upon us! The final day to rob from the rich to give to the poor! The final day to rob from us all to give to the war! The final day to rob from us all to give to corporate welfare, farmer welfare, foreign aid, Unearned Income Credits, and greedy pork barrel earmarks for all!! (Did I make this generic enough to please libs and cons alike?)

Tax Freedom Day will be April 23rd, 2008. America will work three days less to pay taxes in 2008 than in 2007; Stimulus Rebates push day of celebration up. For Kansans, our state Tax Freedom Day is April 18th, making us 26th in the nation.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
But bring lot’s of tax money!!!!!!!!

Kansans Tax Burden:

http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/455.html

Bring on the National Sales Tax (Consumption Tax), and disband the IRS forever!!!!!!!!!

Least we forget our anger at the complicated forms and paperwork should not be directed at the IRS but at the United States Congress instead. They make the fiscal policy. The IRS is just the instrument which carries it out. God bless em one and all.</description>
