OK let's forget the clothing that you are so adamantly defending... What about the travel expenses? Is this the sort of abuse of taxpayer money we can see if she becomes vp? Oh wait, I shouldn't worry though... because she won't be vp. Because McCain isn't going to win.

Following more of the stupid logic I have seen on this forum... I would like to say that a vote for McCain is your endorsement of Al Qaeda! "Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election. ... [We] will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America." http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20081022/cm_thenation/1096374759

Wow two off-topic replies. Great job.

This is in response to some of the posts here titled "Is this what we can expect from Obama..." where spending his campaign budget is compared to how he will spend taxpayer dollars. A lame argument at best. So... Palin expenses travel for her family and clothes to the taxpayers! Where are the angry posts here at CR?!?! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/22/palin-clothes-spending-ha_n_136740.html http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081021/ap_on_el_pr/palin_family_travel Since it appears you can request to have threads locked, then let me request that now! Thanks.

I like how as soon as the McCain camp said "socialist" every supporter became a parrot using the word. Socialists: Obama no socialist By Rex W. Huppke Tribune staff reporter October 20, 2008 http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/trb.chicagotribune/news;ptype=ps;slug=chi-obama-chicago-socialist;rg=ur;ref=chicagotribunecom;pos=1;dcopt=ist;sz=300x250;tile=1;at=Barack%20Obama;at=Illinois;at=Karl%20Marx;at=401K;at=Politics;at=Starbucks%20Corporation;at=Government;at=Jeff%20Foxworthy;at=George%20Bush;at=John%20McCain;at=National%20Government;at=Northwestern%20University;ord=23891926? These are hard times to be a socialist in America. And not just because there's a bourgeois-bloated Starbucks on every other corner, thumbing its capitalist nose at the proletariat. No, it's tough these days because you've got politicians on the right, the same guys who just helped nationalize the banking system, derisively and inaccurately calling the presidential candidate on the left a socialist. That's enough to make Karl Marx harumph in his grave. Local communists, rarely tapped as campaign pundits, say Sen. Barack Obama and his policies stand far afield from any form of socialism they know. John Bachtell, the Illinois organizer for Communist Party USA, sees attempts by Sen. John McCain's campaign to label Obama a socialist as both offensive to socialists and a desperate ploy to tap into fears of voters who haven't forgotten their Cold War rhetoric. "Red baiting is really the last refuge of scoundrels," Bachtell said. "It has nothing to do with the issues that are confronting the American people right now. It's just a big diversion." Of course that's just one man's opinion. (And everyone knows you can't trust a communist.) The "s-word" bubbled up from the McCain campaign after Obama said, in his chat with Joe the Plumber, that he thinks "when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." Well, that certainly sounds like the words of a Red Menace. But is it socialist? There are about as many definitions for socialism as comedian Jeff Foxworthy has for the term "redneck." So, how do you know if you're a socailist? Generally, it involves espousing government control over a country's basic industries, like transportation, communication and energy, while also allowing some government regulation of private industries. "Obama is about as far from being a socialist as Joe The Plumber is from being a rocket scientist," said Darrell West, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution. "I think it's hard for McCain to call Obama a socialist when George Bush is nationalizing banks." And this from Bruce Carruthers, a sociology professor at Northwestern University: "Obama is like a center-liberal Democrat, and he is certainly not looking to overthrow capitalism. My goodness, he wouldn't have the support of someone like The Wizard of Omaha, Warren Buffet, if he truly was going to overthrow capitalism." Bottom line: pure capitalism and socialism can be a difficult mix. Which hits at the heart of the problem. Right now, with the economy in the tank, the idea of a little wealth sharing doesn't sound so bad to people whose 401k plans are worth less than the contents of their coin jars. "The idea of closing that wealth gap, I think, is a concern for many, many Americans," said Teresa Albano, editor of the Chicago-based People's Weekly World, a communist newspaper. "I don't think people are going to respond negatively to the idea of spreading around the wealth." Which is not to say that, by electing Obama, the country will gamely head down the path of socialism. "The whole point of his policies don't really represent the political economy of the working class," said Robert Roman, who edits the newsletter of the roughly 250-member Chicago chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. "Obama's going to be a person who represents all of us, he's going to be representing the interest of the capitalists as well as the working people. He's not really talking about transforming society beyond capitalism." But don't worry, Sen. Obama. You're still likely to win the vote of avowed socialists. "Having Obama as president would be greatly superior, from our point of view, than having McCain as president," Roman said. And you can expect to see that quote in a McCain ad in 5, 4, 3, 2....

We need a mod to either edit the thread title or start a new one with the date/time in the title to avoid confusion.

you need a certain amount of posts to give + or - people that don't have enough show up as neutral. its funny when people try to neg you and they don't realize they have no sway.

looks like we are trying to meet here:

wow. He lives in a pretty modest house. That thing is sure going to attract some attention.

Does it have adblock yet?

thanks. I will check it out and probably do it myself. If anything comes up I will send you a message.

For the electricians... So we got rid of the hot tub this weekend and it was hooked up to a 220V box outside the house. The switch in the box is off and I used electrical tape on the end of cut wire. Is there anything else I need to do?

Wedding in Marion. Have some time to kill when I get up there so I will try to find some nice roads. Looks pretty boring out there though.

Behind Sonic at Polaris off of Gemini. Leaving now...

Doc gets all the ladies. You could bring the Lotus too. Just throw it in the back.

Ricetown cannot comprehend that piece of American ingenuity.

Hey you should taker her downtown through the arena district, short north and campus. One of the few things to see at night.

Yea I am down for meeting up somewhere... Quaker Steak? Ricetown? Somebody make a decision here.

Get the Macbook or Macbook Pro. Air has very few ports.

Have a kid? Going to have kids? Know someone with kids? Not sure why you would vote for McCain... From the Ohio Education Association ( http://www.ohea.org ): John McCain Supports Vouchers McCain strongly supports vouchers that take money away from public schools. He has consistently voted in favor of expanding voucher pilot programs. John McCain Supports No Child Left Behind McCain said No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was “a major milestone in trying to improve education in this country,” but he refuses to fully fund NCLB. As president, he would make the law’s reauthorization a top priority. (Ask any teacher about No Child Left Behind. It is a complete failure.) When your family and coworkers ask you about John McCain's record on education, here are 3 things they need to know: John McCain is no friend of public schools. He thinks teachers should be paid based on student test scores, and supports vouchers, charter schools and other policies that take resources out of the classroom. John McCain will continue George Bush’s failed education policies. He is a strong supporter of No Child Left Behind but refuses to fully fund the mandates. John McCain doesn’t understand that our economic future depends on strong public schools. He supports trade laws that send jobs overseas, but won’t give our kids the tools they need to compete in a global economy.

Sounds good. This Sunday the 19th or next weekend (25th/26th) would be nice. 30mpg
