Thread: John McCain's Hero was a Socialist?

"We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. … The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size, acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and … a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion, and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate." Teddy Roosevelt New Nationalism 1910

The above was from a speech given by Teddy Roosevelt, John McCain's proclaimed hero and idol, it sounds very similar to Obama's position with regards to taxation. According to John McCain's characterization of Barrack Obama's postion, I guess this would make Teddy Roosevelt a socialist too.

You guys are really nervous that Obama can't win aren't you?

This is the perfect reason why you never listen to the "Man" I bet you could find a reference for every politician to any body if you dig deep enough.... Pretty much every politician speaks to whatever crowd the are trying to please at that moment.... Satisfy the Masses...
Just look at their voting record on your key issues, and vote accordingly pretty simple really, the rest is all just fluff....

Keep in mind always, that the numbers never lie, only the people do!!!!!

Glen you have a typo - it's issue, singular, unless you're becoming a flip-flopper

Everybody I bet, has someone in their past that was a Commie, Marxist, or some Lowlife friend or hero. It’s just too bad that Obama’s friends all fall in the above.

Nooooo I believe that was correct, as I put it there, You can have more than one issue that "trips yer trigger" so to speak... Yes the pun was intended

Oh, no, are you telling me you agree with a politician on more than one issue?!?
@%^$#
You're an official flip-flopper my friend, you have a bright future in DC, don't waste your days in ID. You've officially given up the single-issue simplicity - from now on you shall be known as elitist

They are terrified! All the mainstream liberal press is saying it is a done deal, Obama is saying it is a done deal. Were have we heard this before, Gore, Kerry..... the list goes on. A study just came out that the press in America is backing Obama. They cook the polls to discourage the other side from voting and if they lose they claim it was stolen, just like last time, oh, and just like the time before that, and the time before that........ You would think they would learn it ain't over till the vote is in.


I know that we are voting for the lesser of two evils here but how can you vote for a straight up Socialist. The latest is that we are "stingy", what, 50% of what we make, as calculated by tax freedom day, is not enough?
