<!--//article Image//--><!--//article//-->Five reasons to vote against Obama? Only five? I could give you 50, no problem.
1. He wants to tax working Americans back to the Stone Age. He lies when he says he will cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans. You know it’s nonsense because they can’t keep their numbers straight from hour to hour. Obama claims everyone making under $250,000 is safe, or is it $200,000 (the infomercial) or $150,000 (Joe Biden)? On Friday, Gov. Bill Richardson cut it to $120,000.
Oh what a tangled web we weave. The fact is, the wealth-spreaders have vowed to do away with the Bush tax cuts. So everybody who pays any income taxes is going to take a hit. Plus, the friends of ACORN also plan to get rid of the cap on Social Security withholding taxes. That means everyone who makes over $102,700 will be slaughtered. I don’t have room to talk about capital gains.
2. The federal courts. In that famous 2001 Chicago radio interview, Obama wistfully talked about the need for the Supreme Court to break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. You know, those pesky constraints that make us a nation of laws, not governed by the whims of the Friends of Obama, or Jeremiah Wright. You think Breyer and Ginsburg are beyond the pale? Obama’s crowd thinks they’re too conservative.
3. Teach the Obama-worshipping bumkisser media a lesson. Have they ever been more in the tank for anyone? They’re all worried about the Patriot Act and terrorists’ rights at Gitmo, but they had no problems printing flat-out lies about Sarah Palin. More recently, they took handouts from Obama thugs in Ohio on Joe the Plumber’s tax liens, divorce problems, child-support payments etc. - worse violations of privacy rights than anything that’s happened under the Patriot Act. But who cares - Joe the Plumber is just a typical white person.
3. The character of Barack Obama. You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much. He lectures you that your kids will have to learn Spanish - your kids, not his. He’s always railing about economic justice, but his illegal-alien aunt lives in poverty in Southie. Hey Barack, I thought charity began at home. Like John Kerry and Joe Biden, he doesn’t believe in donating to charity. Obama is a classic liberal hypocrite: He’ll give anybody the shirt off your back, not his.
4. Michelle Obama. Another pampered semi-literate Ivy Leaguer who still considers herself a victim, even with her $360,000-a-year job as diversity coordinator at a Chicago hospital. Can you stand four years of this harridan lecturing you on your greed?
5. All the other stuff I don’t have much room for. Where the heck was Barack Obama really born? Don’t forget his pal Bill Ayers dedication of his 1974 book “Prairie Fire” to, among others, Sirhan Sirhan. (Are you listening, Teddy and Caroline?) If Obama loses, Gwen Ifill’s book tanks. The return of the Fairness Doctrine to censor free speech. Joe Biden, a heartbeat away. And the No. 1 reason of all to vote against Barack Obama: If he loses it will drive the moonbats absolutely bonkers.

You think McCain or Obama wins this week?

 

[RobFunk]

You guys have been giving reasons not to vote Obama for the last year.

No one has given any good reasons to vote for McCain.
Same with his campaign is same is on this board.

It actually makes me laugh at this point.

So laugh while you're voting for Obama. Then cry when the paycheck he promised you would be bigger actually got smaller, cry when your net income is buying you less goods because of the increased corporate tax rate, cry when you and Warren Buffet pay the same exact capital gains rate. Just make sure you laugh when you vote for him because you won't be laughing for much longer after that.

Here are the reasons Obama has given us:

1. He will increase taxes a lot on everyone who earns more than $250,000. He hasn't said how much he will increase taxes on everyone who earns less than $250,000 - but the leaks have started - it's down to $120,000 - any bets that it will dip to $42,000 - any wagers on how much he'll tax that 442,000 - right now, it's 15% under 42,000 and 28% over $42,00 - PER FAMILY!

2. He hasn't said a word about energy - other than that he will "consider" it - in other words, you're gioing to get fukked into paying a carbon tax while the price of energy goes through the roof.

3. He will decimate the military. We won't need it once we've become a third world European clone.

4. Reparation payments to the underclasses - believe it. it's part of the Black liberation Theology that Obama never refuted.

5. He'll give Congressional Democrats a get out of jail free card - they're all on the same team and serve the same anti-American agenda - his long standing Relationship with Ayers and Wright puts the proof to this one.

6. Graft will take over at the Federal level. Don't believe me - take a look at Massachusetts and Cook County and New Orleans - this is what an Obama Presidency will bring.

John McCain does not thrill me - but Obama scares the hell out of me.-

God is that ugly

 

[barman]

John McCain does not thrill me - but Obama scares the hell out of me.-

Come on Pops. It takes more than President Obama to scare a hardened old goat like you. Given the challenges you've successfully overcome in your 6+ decades, I find it hard to believe you actually lose a minute of sleep over the idea of President Obama.

Admittedly, you're in a tough pinch this coming week since you won't vote for Obama and you publicly pledged here at the Rx to not vote for McCain or any Republican for President.

Rob, McCain has proven his character through his actions. His political decisions have been and will always be sound. The BS about him siding with BUsh 90% of the time, although accurate, most of those votes are procedural. The Dems probably voted the same way 50% of the time as well (except for Obama, who rarely voted as to not expose his radical agenda).

He stands for leaving government the fuck out of our lives. WHy do we have to defend that?

He is offering tax breaks, health care concessions, help with the mortgage crisis, child and child care tax credits...and so on. Only he is doing it without government taking over and running our lives, like Obama is offering. Even though some of his plans seem legit, if you take a deeper look you will see just how marxist his plans are.

Consider health care. Cut corporate incentives to provide it to employees and tax the shit out of them in earnings. What corporation is going to continue to offer subsidized health care for their employees when they can go get it from BO for free?

A true move towards socialism as people are basically forced to get on the governments health care and become dependent on it.

Also, the more people are given shit for nothing, the less they are motivated to do anything about it. Look no further than generation after generation of welfare recipients.

Getting back on topic, the two candidates plans both address the needs of the people and the country. McCain stands for limiting government involvement with this process and letting the economy heal. Obama wants the government to be the answer to everything, and in doing this will tax the exact hand that feeds the lifeline of this economy.

Wasteful spending, earmarks and pork are a staple of Obamas short stint in the Senate. Just think what is going to go through, he has "on paper" a trillion dollars in additional spending.

McCain wants to eliminate this waste and government programs and agencies that are just sucking us dry. Did you see Obamas responses to McCain about the $3 million projector for the Chicago planetarium? Had nothing to say but "hurumph" and look at McCain like he was a crackhead.

McCains foreign policy experience--I dont think I even need to get into this. Obama has none, couldnt even run his own state.

Finally, Winston Churchill said to judge a man is to judge his acquaitences or something like that .

Obama has at last count over a dozen shady (at best) charecters that have formed his beleifs and political objectives. His dealings with horribly corrupt Illinois and Chicago business and policitical dealings are quite scary. No one is sure what his true objectives are and his policies flip flop depending on what group of special interests he is talking too.

He is also going to challenge our own CONSTITUTION as to how limiting its power is, and by appointing liberal judges there is a good chance that our constitution could become irrelavent.

Why is it again that people from all over the wolrd want to move her? Becuase our constitution limits government and gives us freedoms that people do not have elsewhere..and he wants to render our founding fathers document powerless.

John McCain? Graduated from the Naval academy and has served his country for almost 50 years.

Do I really need to give reasons why he is a better choice when Obamas whole platform is based on giving people more, requiring them to do less.

 

[barman]

Rob, McCain has proven his character through his actions. His political decisions have been and will always be sound.

What "political decisions"?

Over two decades in the US Senate and only one bill he has authored has ever made it into law. And that one - (McCain/Feingold) - takes an utter shit on the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

I will agree that McCain is making a lot of offers to the American electorate in return for their votes this week. I kinda think he might offer up rental hours with his wife if that's what it would take to score sufficient love to pull the election out.

Thank goodness we (our three votes here at Bar n Grill) already voted and don't have to listen to much more of this once Tuesday has passed

 

[MikeB]

McCain has been and will continue to be a career politician. (Same as that fraud Kennedy).

McCain has been running for President for 20 years now. If he was that good, how did Jr. get the nod over him. The Republican Party even considers Jr. a better candidate......(scary huh?)


Finally, when it comes to the economy, McSame has still (even with Obama calling him out repeatedly) yet to tell the American public what he will do differently than that which has us in this mess of an economy.





He is running against Obama instead of for McCainhno:

This is a good post. I just wanted somebody to state a legitement case for McCain without all the anti-Obama BS. Thank you for taking the time to type it out.

 

[The Guesser]

Howie Carr can't count. He titles a post 5 reasons, and he gives 6. Did the moron Palin really write that article, since she's too stupid to count correctly?

 

[barman]

Howie used five...It was PoliticoPub Curmudgeon In Chief BBLIGHT who had his list of six something or others.

Poor BBL...no vote this year...But hopefully he'll be tanned, rested and ready come 2012
