You have to understand, Dionys ... my fellow Christian Conservatives have been reduced to promoting the most extreme jingoisms to promote their candidate.

I always say ... if you have to resort to 'Code Words' like Wealth Distribution, Terrorists, and such to SCARE voters into voting for a candidate ... well ... that's the biggest Red Flag I can imagine.
And you are right ... Wealth Distribution HAS been occurring.
Wealth Distribution is a HALLMARK of the Modern Republican Party.
Even John McCain continues to endorse it. 'It's' called Trickle Down Economics. You funnel vast sums of taxpayer burden AWAY from the Wealthiest .... (in effect ... Welfare) ... in the hopes that these 'chosen few' ... deign the rest of America with their spending ...
.... as if the Wealthy are somehow better spenders than the Middle Class.
There is one party running in this election that DOES promote SOCIALISM ... and that party is the Republican Party.
If you think I'm wrong ... just look at the Bail-Out pushed by Bush.
Republicans are Capitalists when Profits are being made ... when Losses are being incurred ... they become Socialists for their friends.
How Cowardly ... how Morally Vacant is the Modern Republican Party.
And how telling that people who call themselves Christians ... SUPPORT any economic plan that supports Welfare to the Wealthy ... and deny economic Justice to the Middle Classes.

Exactly ... thank you.

Did the Wealthy earn the massive tax cuts that George W. Bush granted them?
Shouldn't the wealthy support our nation the same as the middle class?
Why do they get a lowered tax rate compared to the middle class?
Why?
Even Warren Buffet wonders why he pays a lower tax rate than his employees.
How can a political party believe in such an ideology?
There is only ONE way ... they are Morally Vacant.
That's how they can LIE to promote an arbitrary war.
The Moral Vacancy of the Modern Republican Party is ... I'm sad to say ... impervious to reason.-

You can't be serious. Not only do they support the nation the same, but much more. Everyone knows that the more you make the higher the tax bracket, the higher the tax rate goes.
"Even Warren Buffet wonders why he pays a lower tax rate than his employees."
-Do you pay taxes on money you already have or money that you make? If you have already have millions, you are not continually paying taxes on that money. Buffet knows this, and knows his money would not be effected by a tax increase.
-"Did the Wealthy earn the massive tax cuts that George W. Bush granted them?"
They do not need to "earn" the right to keep more of the MONEY THEY ALREADY EARNED.
You should try to actually think for yourself once in awhile.-

There is no amount of pretzel twists you can come up with to make it seem that someone making $1 MILLION should pay a LOWER tax rate than someone making $50,000.
Only someone prone to rationalizing immoral behaviors could pull that off.
Besides, in addition to a lower tax rate ... the wealthiest 1% have so many tax dodges ... they pay even less than their set rate.
Plus . ... ... many more are simply not paying taxes.
George W. Bush, early in his term .. cut the IRS staff IN HALF that monitors the tax returns of people making over $1 Million a year.
My question to you is ... when did you become such a non-thinking apologist for Moral Vacancy?
Or does Moral Vacancy come naturally to you?

Oh ... by the way ... over 70% of the wealthiest Americans got their wealth by INHERITANCE ... so I wouldn't go overboard idealizing these people as having some 'Midas Touch'.
LOL!!!
Please .. .. .. do us all a big favor .. .. .. give your brain a kick start before you continue spewing Extremist Drivel.
You are making yourself look like a 'tool'.-

-"you are making yourself look like a 'tool'.
Why? Because you didn't argue against one of my points, nor give any evidence to backup your claims?-

Well there are always two sides to a fence, and many ways to look at only one side if that is your wish.

The trend for the last 2-3 decades has been that the middle class dwindles as the rich get richer.
Your points are the here and now, but what many believe what Obama is up to is try and reverse the process that got you to the hear and now.
Gama, a very smart man who comments from Europe, submitted an article which shows; that even in this economic mess, CEO's and bosses on wall street are prepared to give themselves$70 billion in bonuses to themselves this year.
Now why would it be wrong of Obama to try and limit this so some of those obvious frauds stop getting richer at tax payers expense.
On the other side, yes there are many who abuse the system and are welfare cases.
Both sides have their crooks, but I would rather pay taxes and help one poor individual than make some millionaire a billionaire.

Geesh Clockwork ... I suppose I should say 'Thank You' ... your extreme emotional outburst and violence tells me that you are one angry person.
Reply
And of course, this is the base of support for John McCain.
Angry Americans ... oh .. not angry at anything in particular ... just angry.
A non-specific anger that I personally believe comes from the emptiness of their soul.
Of course I'm a Christian. I have been all my life. Have said so many times on many threads.
I further clarify that I'm not a MODERN Christian ... the kind that KICKED JESUS TO THE CURB ... like the Modern American Christian does.
Jesus believed in LOVE ... by your post ... it's clear you are no Christian.
Jesus believed in helping children ... by your support for Republicans ... who FOUGHT AGAINST Health Care for Children ... it's clear you are no Christian.
Jesus preached Peace ... it's clear your support for George W. Bush' extraordinary efforts to launch a purely arbitrary war ... AND LIED TO DO SO ... clearly says you are no Christian.
Jesus preaching Love ... Acceptance ... is at odds with the Modern Republican party that preaches hatred towards Minorities, Catholics, Gays, and yes ... the Poor ... and your support of this party makes it clear you simply CANNOT be a Christian.
So please ... shelve your Mock Indignation ... your anti-Christian message ... (including your angry cursing) and try to act like you have at least the faintest glimmer of light in your heart ... and in your soul ... if your soul hasn't shriveled up and died.
I'm rooting for you.-

Matthew 10:34-36 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'"

The division is between the right and the wrong way. Your translation of peoples disagreements towards other views into hatred, does not make it so. Example is you can be completely against homosexuality without hating the homosexual.-

Yes ... this is the phrase that my fellow Christian Conservatives point to to justify War, Dissension, Hatred, and of course, Bigotry.

The Modern American Christian Conservative ignores the Primary message ... above all else ... LOVE.

So lets get rid of Bush and the rest of the idiots that voted for the Bail Out. Lets see the only candidate that didn't vote for the Bail out was Sarah Palin.
Good Call.
