Who Asked Me?

Political Commentary from an independant perspective.

To Quote Another Line From Another One Of My Favorite Movies, ‘Hey Upham, Careful You Don’t Step In The Bullshit’.

The Associated Press ran a story today with the following sentence in it copied exactly as it appeared,

“McCain wants to retain all of the tax cuts that Bush won from Congress in 2001 and later years, reductions that applied at every level of income.”

This is a bunch of bullshit, President Bush’s tax cuts did not apply to me.  I got a letter in the mail from the IRS stating that I did not make enough money to qualify for the tax cuts.

Speaking of bullshit, John McCain today accused Barack Obama of campaign finance abuse for raising over 150 million dollars in September.  Perhaps John McCain doesnt understand that when he filed for public financing he commited to raise no more than 50 million dollars a month.  Its interesting that it is John McCain himself who violated campaign finance laws by raising 54 million dollars in June.

Barack Obama realizes that not every taxpayer in America agrees with him and so opted to not take public financing.  This also allows him to raise as much money as he likes from private doners such as myself.   John McCain also apparently does not understand the spirit of the campaign finance reform laws which were designed to prevent huge sums of money being donated by huge companies or PAC’s.  ALL of Barack Obama’s monies have come from private doners.  When a company does write a check, the campaign sends it back.

By the way, the movie mentioned in this title is Saving Private Ryan.

  2. I dont believe in public financing either but I find it very hypocritical of John McCain to accuse Barack Obama of breaking a law that he himself broke.

  6. i.e., Obama’s pledge not to take campaign money from lobbyists but doesn’t mind taking money from corporations such as Healthsouth Corp.,and McDonald’s Corp. Come on, if you want to play this examples game we both have access to the internet and can bring up information to support any position we choose. I was tying to find common ground with you here concerning public financing. Yeah, I know you can probably find something to dispute what I stated here but if you are using the internet to loate your sources remember that you told me I shouldn’t believe everything I see on the internet. I don’t by the way.

  7. Ok ok, calm down. I just wanted to know what you could come up with. I have heard about the HealthSouth deal but I also heard that he gave the money back. I hadnt heard about McDonalds.

  8. I’m calm…you know, since I eat at McDonalds so often I am helping support Obama. Are you proud of me?

  9. As I recall you only ate at McDonalds when I wanted to go there…

    By the way, if your allegation is true then I am supporting Obama right now with a Quarter Pounder in one hand and a Snack Wrap in the other.
