And Obama wants to raise my taxes to redistribute what I've earned to people who will vote for him. No thanks.

And that is why YOU get to choose! Good luck!

Yeah...flying fighter planes over hostile territory is not a "real job."

BTW he has served more than one term...but please don't let the facts get in the way of your rant!

Really? When was Obama reelected? I missed that one. If you're talking about McCain, I made no mention of him.

Your not missing much if he doesn't go there, he would just say it's time for change, everyone would get all excited and then fall to their knees as they worship him because that's pretty much what his supporters do, and that would be that. Same ol', same ol'.

I am not rich. But I will be someday. And I've never ever been hired by a poor person. Soaking the rich, who already pay the overwhelming share of taxes in this country, will KILL jobs. Sometimes I wish the Obama lemmings would get what they wish for, so they could see the disastrous results of socialism. I've been to plenty of countries that tried this and I wouldn't want to live in any of them.

What's killing the jobs is the economy today. Seeing people around me losing jobs and their houses at an alarming rate. Soon enough this country will be a third world country with massive debt held by China and India and huge gap between the rich and the poor. Oh well, the rich can just go fly somewhere else to live, but what about the others?

And guess what, I've been to plenty of countries with universal healthcare, and it's nice and happy. The bottom line is vote for the future of America. I agree that Obama might not change too much even if he was elected, but it's a step in the right direction.
