I get paid to be 100% non-partisan. Any hint of partisanship would discredit the work. I do deal in fact and reason quite a bit, which would account for the great bulk of the differences between any typical right-winger and myself. Meanwhile, you and the others here have jumped to the wrong conclusion about the SNL skit because you simply missed its point.
Since you bring it up, I am easily within the top 1% of earners in this country and have been for many years. My federal income taxes alone are quite substantially more than the median household income, and guess what -- those taxes don't affect my lifestyle in the slightest. In fact, I have to run my own 501(c)(3) as a means for getting rid of some of these extra piles of money that keep popping up year after year.
Not much in the Good Guessing department for you this time around...
And so modest in his claims!
If you are going to make up stuff, at least try to make it believable.
Since you ask, I know more Republicans who voted for Obama than Democrats who voted for McCain. In fact, I don't know any Democrats who voted for McCain first hand and those I know about second hand are all racists. Hide behind "lame words" if you want. Your either a Democrat in name only or you're a racist. It's that simple. And if you're a Democrat in name only I don't understand why you claim to be one on a forum like this. Hiding what you really are?
You know, you are the one to bring race into the conversation, for no reason. Must be quite a concern of yours, or acknowledgement of the fact that your stance is unsupportable.
I usually have links, facts and statistics to back up my claims.
No, usually you don't, and when you do, they are typically to or from other rightwing spin-sources whose claims cannot themselves be backed up.

Perhaps you should read back through some of the posts of Dr. Hawkeye or the Rev. GreatDay. As I said earlier, I would doubt that I am the only representative here of my particular demographic.

Again per the earlier, I don't have a point to make except to note the considerable irony and errancy inherent in <soccersupporter>'s leap to reactionary conclusions.

You don't face any different situation with me than you now repeatedly claim to have faced (to their eventual embarassment) with various and perhaps many other posters. How did you come to a conclusion anywhere but in your own mind as to what the actual circimstances were in those cases?

It's intriguing in a sense that a right-winger would suddenly find wealth unseemly. Usually they are a group leading the charge for the rich and their get-ahead ingenuity, hard work, and of course all those jobs that they don't actually create. We can't go back to Clinton-era tax rates for wealthy people because that would be punishing success. But it appears that if wealth should fall into the hands of any who might not fit well within the championed political stereotype, then it in fact becomes repulsive somehow. An interesting and perhaps revealing phenomenon.

Once again, right over your head. I was referring to the fact that you are so partisan here that if you are paid to be non-partisan you must be bankrupt, at least based on what we all see here.
If I seem partisan here, it is perhaps because such an overwhelming majority of the false, deceitful, and deliberately misleading posts -- those being the sort that I tend to jump on -- happens to be put up by right-wingers. That, sadly, is the state of the world. As for non-partisanship, it is a discipline. Something like operatic singing. It's not necessarily an easy thing, but with hard work and practice, those with a good voice can master opera, and those with an apt mind can master non-partisanship. There is meanwhile nothing here to justify having played the pauper card. It is merely a resort to dishonest attack when honest avenues all seem closed.

I am sure many enjoyed this postcard from an alternate universe. All it does, however, is make more clear the degree of your separation from reality. You only need to read the headlines here on Earth to realzie that Obama has gotten very nearly everything that he has gone after. This you call "NOTHING".

No, no Tom DeLay either. Obama has consistently spent -- some would say overspent -- on building bridges and keeping avenues of dialog open with those across the aisle. He hasn't gotten much of a response. You can't just watch Rush Limbaugh and expect to get things done. The Republicans are perfectly capable of insisting upon running Obama's patience out. When the day comes, it will be they who brought it down upon themselves.

A lot of people are saying that, are they? I don't actually hear anyone saying that. Not a living soul. Probably that different universe thing again.

Carter was a center to center-right moderate. He wasn't even a liberal, much less a socialist. Obama is a liberal who has been presiding from his centrist side. Help spread the word...
What is the problem with Americans? When one looks at the politics and other controversies overview page, every other thread is about Obama's alleged failures. The way I see it those alleged failures are nothing but the fantasies of all those millions of bad losers among the American electorate, who are very antidemocratic as they don't accept the wish of the majority of voters.
Before you haters overjoy, remember that it is your country, he is your president, too. If he fails, it will backfire on your entire country and eventually you as well.
Also think of the alternative. With McCain and Palin you would be even worse off, maybe already mourning thousands of additional dead soldiers in Iran.
As I said in a previous post, some of these posts made by kids who want Obama to fail because they don't really care about their country but more about not having gotten their way in the election, makes US citizens (kids) seem downright immature and crazy to the rest of the world, and they have no shame in their behavior. You can't reason with these people, Neuling. They are non-thinkers, they simply parrot talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh who had a drug problem that has affected his brain, and they prefer to echo the thoughts of that affliction. Can you even imagine that?
What more could you expect from President Zero except zero answers and a huge helping of bovine fecal matter?
This is a perfect example of a post I just described. An American embarrassment without a brain who only spews garbage. You see, Neuling, there are many Americans who are ashamed that we have people like this around.
