I'm politically homeless.

The video was really funny if you're a Democrat. It was hilarious if you're a Republican.

Since I always vote, I'll need to find a home soon. Right now, I'm not in either camp. I'm still waiting to see whose house of cards will fall first.

Like the rest of you, I'm waiting for the running mates. Maybe this will be the first time in history that the VP candidate will decide the election. How old is JM? And BO could certainly use some gravitas.

Define made it. A lot of guys can make it and they haven't earned it. Heres some examples.

Paris Hilton (thanks Mom and Dad...... and those who want to eliminate the estate tax)

George W. Bush (AWOL.....C student at Yale......... really think he's earned being president?)

Descendants of Henry Ford

Kennedys

Anyone who got a free ride through school and a nice job or connections from mommy and daddy. Thats not working for it or earning it. Thats being born into a lucky position.

Nice contradiction, or do you mean your voting Democrat because you feel that people who work hard to make a better living should sacrifice more so that other less motivated people can leach off their labor?

Having it and how you got it has nothing to do with taxing it. Are you implying that if a person doesn't work (themselves) for wealth that it doesn't count? Should go back to the dark ages where if a Baron or land owner died with no direct aire (a son) their property went to the state rather than their wives or decendents. Or black landowners in the 1800s, when they died all their lands went to Federal goverment.

I think a C at Yale is probably a B in most colleges (sarcasm).

Kennedys'? True they made their money from a gray area of bootlegging, but they were some smart cookies who loved their country, and John and Robert were probably killed because of it. Now Teddy and some of the nephews... yea pretty spoiled and arrogant.

"A lot of guys can make it and they haven't earned it", which is exactly why we need to trim a lot of the social programs because there are plenty of people who aren't earning their incomes at all. A professor from Berkeley claimed that it (welfare) was still a great thing because they pay taxes on that income... WAIT! WHAT? Think about that logic for a second ...does it still not make sense to you?

Probably the most idiotic question ever asked on these forums.
Do a little research. America's healthcare system is one of the
WORST in the world. Highly overrated by the same propagandists
who gave us "Mission Accomplished!" several years ago, when the
death toll was just beginning in Iraq.

You people are such TOOLS!!!!!
