Where did that tax chart come from? I want to shove it in the faces of my "OMG OBAMA TAXES" friends, but I'd like to back it up with some validity.

 

[mozfan12]

all i remember, is that I have to call my insurance to go to the doctor.....

 

[devilhawk]

Sounds like economic specifics and comparisons to Obama.

 

[Shaheed79]

A "Bureaucrat" pays my 100k a year hospital bills and not just a premium they pay the whole damn thing. I hate them! Why should I have the right to free health care? Living is a luxury not a right dammit.

:lol

This train wreck is beautiful! Dead man talking...protesters...flubbed lines...idiot crowd pretending enthusiasm... no fucking way McCain wins the White House!

:lol

 

[Rorschach]

Is McCain standing in front of a blue screen just for Colbert Nation?

 

[Rugasuki]

Right now an insurance company stands between you and your Dr. and you can only chose that Dr. if they accept that specific insurance company.

 

[Jak140]

Speaking of bureaucrats standing between "you and your doctor." What was your stance on women's issues again, McCain?

 

[ronito]

why not just get the old job back? Less GOVERNMENT in the way that way.

 

[Frank the Great]

This speech is full of empty rhetoric.

It was a study by the Tax Policy Center.

 

[gigapower]

He's worried about Obama raising his taxes. Confirmed.

 

[speculawyer]

Do they ship themselves?

Good point.

Yeah, I have an under-the-sink filter.

 

[Illuminati]

she's FAT!

No way, she is perfect. Not too chunky and not too lean and an awesome rack. Costanza is that you?!

 

[mj1108]

McCain will help people find a job that lost theirs that was shipped overseas?

 

[kevm3]

At least McCain hasn't been entirely negative...

This is a hilarious speech... This is a presidential candidate? I should've recorded this... I haven't been privy to this much humor in a long time.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

yes its true, and they planned it that way

Man... wow...

Fuck these people. Seriously.

 

[theBishop]

How is John McCain going to talk shit on Socialized Medicine?

HE USES IT!

 

[Loudninja]

Booooooooooooo

USA USA USA USA!

Booooooooooooo

 

[mozfan12]

didnt Obama say he wanted to stabilize taxes for the average person, cut taxes to bussiness who stay in the US, and increase those who take their bussiness elsewere, am I wrong?

 

[Shogmaster]

Is it just me or does the crowd sounds like a bad laughtrack from a 80's sitcome?

 

[ronito]

Poor gays. They've been outseated by education.

 

[Y2Kev]

Speech is downright terrible.

 

[Tim-E]

No, you're exactly right.

edit: wait a second, did I hear him say that he wants to help teachers find another line of work? I wasn't fully paying attention

[~Devil Trigger~]

Is HE TALKING TO KIDS??

cuz I dont really hear a plan here.

 

[speculawyer]

Education: Vote for me . . . I was 4 from last in my class and my running-mate took 6 years to graduate from college. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

No way, she is perfect. Not too chunky and not too lean. Costanza is that you?!

Full force.

Then I'd go vote for Obama.

 

[Danthrax]

"Education is the civil rights issue of this century" :lol What?? Genocide around the world much?

I like how they cut to Palin's youngest daughter right after he said that, heh

Poor gays. They've been outseated by education.

:lol

Some girl on Fox was doing a Xena war cry.

Oh dear

 

[rSpooky]

STUDENT's For McCain

 

[Yaweee]

Look at those Republicans applaud welfare!

His speech is pretty good aside from his oversimplification of Obama's positions.

It is a lot easier to get support for 'vouchers' when you just make blanket statements about 'choice'.

 

[joeposh]

"education is the civil rights issue of our time"

... YA--huuuuh?

 

[Mahadev]

I'm bored. Empty talk Empty talk Empty talk

 

[Amir0x]

My advice: If you want to see something that isn't completely boring, my suggestion is to turn of Johnny Mac and just watch this again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcRA2AZsR2Q

It's cheesy. It's vague and wide-eyed. But man, wouldn't it be great if political videos were as positive as this?

"I don't want a nation just for me. I want a nation for everybody." It's such a simple, inclusive message. One that even if the current Republican party doesn't say it, is increasingly foreign to their party.

It is innuendo, it is fear tactics, it is divide-and-conquer politics. I really hate to play into this, but it's worth fighting against. I support many of the Republicans core principles, so many that at times ideologically I can favor their stances. But I cannot support the party in its current state. It is one of exclusion, killing off the better angels of our nature. The party of the fiscal conservatives has become a running joke: in every policy is a contradiction, and every speech vitriol that goes beyond mere pandering.

I really hope Obama wins, but it won't surprise me if he does not much good. I just decided it is worth taking a chance on the one who concludes it's of value to run a positive campaign, rather than a negative one that plays to people's fears.

 

[Dan]

From the party that gave you No Child Left Behind...

 

[Zabka]

This is a good speech. He'll be tough to beat for 8th grade class president.

 

[typhonsentra]

Don't vouchers already exist?

 

[Killthee]

Is it just me or does the crowd sounds like a bad laughtrack from a 80's sitcome?

That was agreed upon during Tuesday's session.

"YEAHHH!!!"

 

[Danthrax]

No way, she is perfect. Not too chunky and not too lean and an awesome rack. Costanza is that you?!

Seconded. She's amazing.

 

[Shirokun]

:lol :lol :lol

Oh god! What has happened. All he had to do what keep it simple and people would have eaten it up!

 

[BobLoblaw]

Speech is downright terrible.

I feel embarrassed for him. :O

 

[speculawyer]

This is awful . . . they should put the crazy lady at the top of the ticket.

 

[pxleyes]

What he fails to mention is that vouchers cover only a fraction of the cost. Of course by John's definition of 'rich' that shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Frank the Great]

So he is going to reform education without spending any money on it?

Saying "I want teachers to answer to parents" doesn't mean anything. How the hell are you going to do it?

This is such an empty speech.

 

[sprsk]

Yo, education is important you guys.

 

[f0nz0]

look at the faces in the crowd....

i dont want a country ran by people who attract ugly people, i kid, i kid

but man....

"we ... will ... drill.... new ... shells...off.............................................................shore"

huh
