We've just had 8 years of an uneducated President and Vice President (college degrees do not necessarily mean you're educated.) McCain is also uneducated in so many ways and now they rooting for a woman that it took 6 years, and 5schools to get a degree in journalism.

Now there's a great equalizer. Do you "understand" that?"<BR/><BR/>I do understand "that" and may I add that those who have lived a porche life will most likely not peservere as well as those who buy thier clothes at thrift shops. Those folks already know how to survive. Nieman Marcus is not even part of their vocabulary. Ever wonder why? The difference between Nieman Marcus and bargain basement K-Mart is one caters to richer incomes. Doesn't mean your clothes look nicer on you than poor people - you just spend more.<BR/><BR/>Some people know how and where to hunt. Some don't. That means some people may starve when there is this thing called the "equalizer."<BR/><BR/>However, I do like Obama's tax plan where anyone who makes under 50 grand is exempt while <A HREF="http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/1031268,CST-NWS-tax30.article" REL="nofollow">Obama says he would hike several taxes on people making more than $250,000, including the amount they pay on capital gains"</A> That is a real equalizer. No more tax breaks for the rich. Ha - who is really getting snowed in this campaign?<BR/><BR/>And you are right about rich people hurting just as bad as poor people -- but the differnce is rich people can afford lawyers, poor people can't. Poor people have to be criminals before they get representation. Rich people hire lawyers who get them off. Example: Bill Clinton - U.S. President charged with impeachment and perjury. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime I think a bigger <A HREF="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article4722261.ece" REL="nofollow">issue needs to be looked at and that is all the money being spent</A> to create black holes. May not even matter who wins this election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-15707892459559018502008-09-10T14:44:00.000-07:002008-09-10T14:44:00.000-07:00Most ordinary people do not vote the issues anyhow...Most ordinary people do not vote the issues anyhow.

In it Andrew Romano claims that Democrats support Obama's resume of Indonesia, memoirs, Harvard, legislature, because it conforms to the Democratic ideal of leadership, i.e., worldly, brainy, fluent, cooperative.<BR/><BR/>Sarah Palin's resume of frontier mom, unlikely mayor, reformist governor fits the Republican mold of familial, rootsy, self-sufficient, executive.<BR/><BR/>To take it a step further, Romano claims Democrats feel Obama's better than we could ever be, while Republicans declare Palin is one of us.<BR/><BR/>So there you have it. We'll never understand a group of people who believe that the Burger King Manager, who is just like us, has more executive experience than Obama and therefore is more qualified to be President.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
