I find it worrisome that he is saying that we need to learn spanish.
Practically I agree, but I don't want it to become mandated.
Not voting for mccain. May vote for O or Barr.
propaganda.

I also reject the notion that there's inherently something wrong with this kind of requirement. There are all sorts of things you're "required" (or should be required) to learn in school (reading, various levels of math, etc.).
It's certainly debatable whether a second language *should* be one of those things, but I really dislike the implication (which I'm sure some will make) that it's somehow inherently evil to even suggest that the government could "require" us to do something like this.

Gas Tax pandering
oh the list goes on and on.
here bush got us into a war against terror - a mostly undefined vagueness to use against americans to take away our rights. mccain is of the exact same ilk. the fed reserve private banking corp puppet masters want us to invade iran next to gain more of a foothold in the middle east.
If the bankers want mccain they will plan out another event, if they want obama they wont.
where does obama stand on the patriot act?
Welcome to the correct side.

I have called the white house several times that I am supporting his impeachment.
mccain = bush** 2, not getting my vote.
.." The non-catatonic population has long seen through Obama’s “change” rhetoric, given that everything he says is safely within the confines of acceptable positions as defined by the political establishment. His speech to AIPAC was the usual Obama capitulation, not that his cult of personality has suffered for it. Now he’s repeating his insistence that he won’t take any options off the table against Iran. Neoconservative Bill Kristol even says Obama and McCain “don’t actually differ” on Iran. "
Obama would rather talk to Iran before bombing them.
not sure about obama though...is he easing up his anti war stance??

"*Diplomacy:* Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct
presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions. Now is the time to
pressure Iran directly to change their troubling behavior. Obama would offer
the Iranian regime a choice. If Iran abandons its nuclear program and
support for terrorism, we will offer incentives like membership in the World
Trade Organization, economic investments, and a move toward normal
diplomatic relations. If Iran continues its troubling behavior, we will step
up our economic pressure and political isolation. Seeking this kind of
comprehensive settlement with Iran is our best way to make progress."
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales
How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect theelderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6%
How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama become president.
The experts predict that 'higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250
OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama your taxes will
more than double!
How does this affect you?
No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA</ B>
* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least....
* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!
What is meant by "more than double" in reference to the income tax part? Someone needs to check their math there, as none of those figures are anywhere near double.
You're going to have to read his "plan" but that e-mail you received is BS
propaganda.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/fiscal/#fair-tax
I'll try to find the video but he is going to do something about capital
gains, because right now people pay less in capital gain taxes (wallstreet)
then someone claiming income tax, and that's wrong. Think about the 500K
salaraies on wallstreet paying less or the same as someone making 100K.
I wouldn't imagine his new capital gains plan would affect the "working
class" because I truely believe he's for you and I and against the two
americas.
(Not a Bush defender and not all that excited about McCain, though I do take the terrorist threat seriously)
themselves that an attack on US soil would help their McCain win the white
house. I'll find the video.
A great way to get control of the us citizen is to create a " need " for some real ID system, like an implantable chip. That need is here with the influx of illegals. Many citizens on one sided don't want illegals to gain access to social security and would allow lists and chips etc. The opposing view of the open borders might want Ids to keep criminals out but let in the whomever wants to come here. Add the colapse of the dollar and ID theft and we are ready for the chip. A RFID was proposed in all new CA licenses starting in spring 2008, but was defeated in sacramento. This could allow for a GPS tracking. There are NOW RFID chips in all new passports issued this year.

Flip-flopping should be reserved for a special kind of verbal gymnastics. Unwilling to commit to a side through vagaries or what not. Significantly changing presentation depending on the audience. Unwillingness to make a strong defence of a serious policy. These are things that show character flaws or sloppy thinking that should lower confidence in a candidate.
My point though was that McCain believes that thy have been positive, which would naturally cause him to reassess his position making the charge of flip-flop unfair.
