They did, way back in April in response to Hillary not releasing hers. A: The dollar figure, compared to the $240k donated by the Obamas, isn't terribly competitive. B: You can afford to give out 25% of your $400k anual income if you've already got $100,000,000 in the bank. Hell, they could give 75% of their cash away and still be rich.

Country first - OMG Mah TAXES ?

Any thread that begins with this should contain facts. You may think you are right and have facts, but I've got some bad news.... ] Hillary Clinton is fuckin insane. Other than that, got a source? Also note, she wasn't sucking the Public Funding teet. Rules are slightly different depending on which you choose. Wrong, utterly and entirely. Her wardrobe, and some of her kids and husbands clothes, has been provided by the RNC. They are required to report every expence, every penny, and it's out: Ummm... wouldn't Baraks weak ass policies be considered relevant issues?

Kneejerk response: AH AH AH AH AH NO AH AH! After some reading: That's a good camera, makes a tiny bird look like a pigeon. The birds grow to 12cm, the spiders to 25cm. Hairless spiders are infinitely creepier than fuzzy ones. Scale: http://homepage.mac.com/taidu/.Pictures/Photo%20Album%20Pictures/2002-07-27%2004.35.20%20-0700/ImageDSCN1360.jpg

Of course I don't know what you're talking about, I'm a stupid hippy that's been blinded by the liberal media. Out with it!

Quite well, akshully. You seem to be illuding to something, like you've got some badass end-all rebuttle waiting in the wings. C'mon, out with it. (Irony again: Conservative is running his campaign on an $84 million dollar government handout, while the liberal is out rasing money on his own.)

How about posting it for the recreational act of drinking in the delicious irony? A 2002 campaign finance law that bears McCain's name specifically barred any funds that "are donated for the purpose of supporting the activities of a federal or state office holder" from being used for personal expenses, including clothing. Should have never associated yourself with the RNC.

I've mentioned this in posts, but it seems it's everywhere in politics: People don't read what they refer to. Here is the latest example: What a stupid question, did you not just say that the campaign investigated the donation? On a broader scale, is everyone receiving illgal donations? Yes! All the time. Is anyone accepting them? Obviously not, because that shit is monitored by very bored people. In this case, the blogger is inventing a story out of nothing. He pecied together some stories of credit card fraud and data entry errors, and invented the story that "OMG Obama is taking illegal money!" His "theory" is all over the bloggo'sphere like a rash. So, to have some fun with this: Post up your favorites. We're reading this stuff all the time, post up you favorite mountain-to-mole hill stories from bloggers and columnists.

Freedom isn't free. if you want to live here and reap the benifits of doing buisness here, you pay your f'kn taxes. Think of them a club Dues. It is pocketing extra money, because it's money that they would not have if they had not cheated.

Dont wait for midnight, shut it down when polls close. You're not going to be doing anyone any good by spouting off after everyone has cast a vote. The ensuing electoral scandal threads should head for the Kitchen.

I blame Reagan, and God.

Point being, the people who will be the benificiary of the GOP tax plan are ALREADY pocketing extra cash and not "trickling it down". They're not going to do it with a legitimate break, either.

Don't like coperations getting bailouts? How about Rich people cheating on their taxes? This is an interesting read for anyone who still thinks trick-down will work, and the noble Wealthies of the country will disperse their windfalls. http://www.bus.umich.edu/otpr/DITN%20091308.pdf Cliff note: It shows tax fraud dispresion by income braket. It shows that, essentially, the more people make, the more they cheat. Brackets from 1K to 99k have a cheating percent that rises in a fairly linear manner, from 2% (1-5k)to 8%(75-99k). Once it hits 100K, it spikes to 13%. 20% of americans making $200k to 500K cheated on their taxes, and 21% of those making 500k to 1m cheated. That 1 in 5. It goes down a bit from there, 16% for the 1m-2m bracket, and 11% for 2m plus. I guess at that level, you make enough to stop caring, or you can afford your own tax staff to legally get you out of much of your taxes. it could also be because it's not worth it, i.e. you'd have to try to convince the IRS that you income is half of what it actually is before you'd see a percent drop. So, not only are they getting breaks from the last 8 years of GOP love, but many had under reported income to cheat the tax code. That's not putting America first. Something else that's funny: Look at what forms of income are most likely to be undereported.... see it? 62 percent of small buisness owners (brackets 50-75 and 100-200) cheat on their taxes. So really, if you bend over backwrds to help them out, the best you can hope for is that they embrace the tax cut, stop cheating, and eventually pay in the same amount that they've been paying. The study shows that everyone tries to cheat on their taxes, but not everyone is able to. So look around, every fifth person you look at cheats on their taxes. For whatever reason, they think that they don't think that they should have to pay like the rest of us.

Interesting, I didn't think such dastardly devious services were available.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST are you that dense? NO, read what I wrote, read your shit: "your voting for obama because its popular." I didn't even criticize your shitty grammar! Here, have a look at this, this right here: " I get mean because I take offense to what you said. I take offense because...". Now, having read that, you can guess that the rest of the paragraph will be: A: Me talking about your statistics B: Me spelling out the reason I was offended C: Me explaining why I like puppies D: All of the above. You obviously answered something other than B, so I'm done with you. There's no debating some one who can't pay attention: "...deliver the best speaches, or who his buddies were in college, or because of what a celebrity said." Where, exactly, did I list any of that criteria, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM? Where did anyone list any of that crap? I don't watch any speaches unless I want to be entertained. I don't want to be inspired, I want to be informed, so I read. You have no argument, and you're inventing your enemies. de·lu·sion

You guys are missing "teh brilliant"! That is genius for the same reason cities have skyscrapers. If he had a garage that was 2 deep and 2 wide, he'd only be able to drive off in one of 2 cars at any given moment. That make the most effective use of the space that he has, and is therefore the smartest thing he could have done with his money. Everything is tidy and accessible. . . . As long as it doesn't flood. . . . . And he has a means of opening it without electricity.

Or roughly 70% of an F40. On topic, that SLR is a steal, anyone who can afford it should jump on it.

I woke my kid laughing at that. Thanks. Well, since you're not answering my question and assuming I'm just being an ass, I'll be an ass and call you a presumptuous little neo-con who couldn't feel a dick in his ass so long as it was put there by the GOP. I get mean because I take offense to what you said. I take offense because there has only be one time in the WHOLE of my life that I cast a vote for a man and ACTUALLY believed that he was the man for the job. Only once did I actually believe that a man wasn't just "the best of the two", but actually the guy that the country needed as a president. The time was the 2000 primary and the man was John McCain. I didn't stonewall him, i never discounted him. Simply put, He had my vote, and he lost it. Go back on my posts from the summer, do some research of your own. I have been profoundly disappointed with the way he has handled his campaign, he has surrounded himself with the same staffers that worked with Bush, and it shows. The choice of Palin was made for him, soley for the purpose of providing the tour bus with a hood ornament. The GOP broke him in 2000. He was a "Maverick" then, and he lost the nomination that he'd earned because The Party didn't want a guy who didn't play ball. Rather than try an independent ticket, he chose to play ball, and he does it to this day. The McCain of 2000 isn't running this year. So, you budding young Reaganite, answer the question: What has he done to get positive mention in the media in the last 2 weeks?

Ok, so it's a show car, gotcha. DTM uses big wheels, but they also use ~16" brakes.

Your delusion is the "media conspiracy". Could the results be from a fuckup of a campaign from McCain? Naaaww :jerkit: What has he done to get positive mention? What the hell qualifies as positive mention?

This is true, but why not a 26.6" tire on a 17" rim? Would probably be cheaper too.

AHHH Ron Paul did it! http://ronpaul.meetup.com/1382/messages/boards/thread/3890685

Which one of you signed me up? Copied word for word, even the typo's.

Not to keep harping on them, but, why 18's?: http://members.cox.net/wrxparts/images/milleniumoncarmacro.jpg They can put together a good power package, both going and stopping, but the details are a bit amiss. Basics in racing world, two things determine wheel size: -Brake Size -Rules You never give yourself more brake than you need, because its unsprung weight and rotating mass. You never give yourself more wheel than you need. You run the smallest wheel that will fit over your brakes, because a bit of sidewall is actually a good thing, especially with a super tight suspension. It reeks of a build-by-numbers car. Big power, big brakes, big wheels, expensive suspension, = Fast right? Not right. If they were to go with 17s and some Hoosiers, I'm sure it would tidy things up in the traction area.

de·lu·sion n. - A false belief or opinion: labored under the delusion that success was at hand. - A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness: delusions of persecution. They covered what Biden said, it just wasn't that stupid. "They're biased because they always show moar Republican fuggups!" Couldn't be that the Republicans are actually fuckin up more.
