Obama's plans: an ass-fucking for productive America

If that debate exposed anything besides that McCain is still a grumpy old man who is unfit to be president, it showed that a confident Obama is eager to show just how Socialist he is. Check this rhetoric.

Obama: Let's give a "90 day foreclosure moratorium for homeowners that are acting in good faith." What in the fuck? A government moratorium--no let's call it a "fuck you"--to all banks that went out on a limb and gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who now can't pay the banks back. How about we call this Obama's "Let's fuck the banking system up even more plan."And what the fuck does "acting in good faith mean?" I'll be acting in good faith when I send a hundred bucks to my bank from the Bahamas! More sexytalk from a guy who doesn't use that big brain much. [Haven't we already been fucked enough by this guy---->]

Obama: "When you [READ: the government] spread[s] the wealth around, it's good for everybody." That sounds so good. I have less; motherment can give me more. Yummy yummy. Is there any doubt about who the 30% (the number is up for debate but it's safe to say it's between 25-35%) of people who don't pay income tax vote for? Will they vote for a guy who gives incentives to those who work or those who don't? Hmm.

Obama: Several hundred billion in new spending. There's been some good and correct rhetoric about how fiscally responsible things were getting under Clinton before Bush took office. This graph shows that trend well.

But Obama ain't Clinton. During the first debate, Obama couldn't identify a single government program he would cut--in fact, when asked what he would cut, all he could do was atlk about what he would add.



On Wednesday when McCain called Obama "Senator Government," he was right on.

When All Else Fails - Lie

Anyone catch the final presidential debate last night? During the debate, McCain accused Obama of funding a group called ACORN which McCain described as being "now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history ... maybe destroying the fabric of democracy." That's right, according to McCain - ACORN's activities might be destroying the fabric of democracy. Listen for yourself.



Concerned about the imminent destruction of our society as we have known it, I decided to do some research on ACORN. Consulting various sources - such as www.factcheck.org (yes reader Biden I have given proper attribution) - I discovered that far from perpetrating "one of the greatest frauds in voter history" much less potentially "destroying the fabric of democracy," a handful of ACORN workers - who were apparently paid by the volume of voters they registered - were making up names of voters and registering non-existent people to bilk ACORN out of a few bucks. That is, these unscrupulous ACORN workers were not trying to facilitate illegal voting - as McLiar intimated - they were simply cheating ACORN. As the Republican Prosecutor Dan Satterberg of King County, Washington said:

"A joint federal and state investigation has determined that this scheme was not intended to permit illegal voting. Instead, the defendants cheated their employer. ... It was hardly a sophisticated plan: The defendants simply realized that making up names was easier than actually canvassing the streets looking for unregistered voters. ... [It] appears that the employees of ACORN were not performing the work that they were being paid for, and to some extent, ACORN is a victim of employee theft."

So rather than discussing the real issues, McNasty has once again resorted to slander, innuendo, and fear mongering - not the traits this voter wants in a Commander in Chief.
