The conservative who leaves his wife or comes out of the closet affect no one but himself. .
And same could be said about homosexuals. It's not harming ANYONE.
But back to what you said about a conservative who leaves his wives. This is the most hypocritical part of the conservative flavor. They preach family values and turn around and cheat or come out of the closet.
do you not pay any attention to statistics? is it mostly middle class people smoking, or is it poor people. my statement was 100% accurate. he taxed the living crap out of the poorest americans, and you are starting to sound like an apologist. it would be like him putting a huge tax on malt liquor.
No, your statement was a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts on several grounds. Those were clarified for you. If you want to throw a tantrum over that, go ahead.
hmmm. not so much. barry destroyed the poor with a tax. poor people smoke at a higher rate than rich people. it's that simple.

The 2009 S-CHIP excise tax increase comes to 62 cents per pack. You seriously claim that the poor as a group have been "destroyed" by this? The money of course goes (no matter from whom it is collected) to expand health care coverage. For poor children.
SCHIP provides coverage to middle class kids, and the taxes crush the poor. it's not really a debate. barry hates the poor.

I didn't "suggest" anything. the democrat is way worse IMO. I could care less if a republican is a flamer, as it has no bearing on my life. however, taxes do.
Oh! I can play this game!
POLL: WHAT'S WORSE, A DEMOCRAT WHO DOESN'T WEAR HIS SEAT BELT OR A REPUBLICAN TAKING BRIBES FOR STEERING FEDERAL FUNDS TO CERTAIN CORPORATIONS?
But unlike you, I don't post skewed, results-oriented polls and pretend to be an independent.
Carry on! Sean Hannity undoubtedly appreciates your service on behalf of Republicans!

If it's not really a debate, the reason is that your position has no basis at all beyond the bleating of mindless platitudes and leaps of the imagination that are cosmological in their scale. A pack-a-day smoker would be hit with taxes of a staggering $4.34 per week, such that he or she could avoid being "crushed" to any degree at all merely by smoking two fewer cigarettes per day.
Both are hypocrites but the Republicans IMHO are worse because much of their agenda focuses on denying equal rights to other U.S. citizens; mainly by using fear and religion........taking the "moral high ground"......while they themselves are usually getting divorced, having affairs and closeted gay encounters.
