Not happy about my earnings being stolen for those "less fortunate" but what freedoms are you talking about? Airport lines or breast milk in Ben & Jerrys? I HATE breast milk btw.

Maybe I should clarify - I don't mean candidates working together, or elected officials working together, I mean all the rest of us who are getting screwed. You know, the one's who can't afford to retire in Dubai or Paraguay.

Equally unhappy about MY earnings going to buy some CEO yet another mansion in the Hamptons.

I heard he is selling the place in the Hamptons and relocating overseas...he is scared of the coming total economic collapse.

You should add "this is a stupid question" to the options. You're obviously a socialist, because you folks always try to draw some connection between members of the lower classes without regard to our values.

Want me to not vote Republican? Call the socialists for me and let them know that if they, instead of having wealth redistribution in the form of social security/medicare that's raping my income, supported just a base level of care (an apartment and cat food maybe) for old people who failed to plan for retirement so that I didn't have to pay 17% of my f'in income (regardless of how much we make!), then I might not take homos making out in public so personal and I'd vote Dem. Until then, I'd rather vote Satan into office.

(Oops, forgot: They have to stop trying to take my guns.)

Newsflash: Bush (with a primarily Republican Congress) has been deeply busy with "wealth redistribution" for the last 8 years--of which you, perhaps, have greatly benefitted. At the expense of others, I might add. If so, it's time to pay up. No more free rides for the wealthy.

Most of the time, yes. But there is no way to "work together" with people who are so filled with racist hate, as are many of the posters on this forum.

I find that Republicans/Conservatives/Neocons and those who support McCain are not to be taken seriously, so I don't find there to be an "argument." These people are always on the wrong side of the political discussion, stuck in inferior positions, completely oblivious to all sense of rational thought, and completely detached from reality.

All Republicans in Congress and in positions of power and/or decision-making should be replaced by native Americans.
