He wants to buy a company??? He lives in bloody la la land..

""So far, he has not revealed which way he is going to vote. But one thing we do know is that his dislike of handing money to the government is genuine. Last year he had an order placed on him for failure to pay $1,182.92 in back-taxes.""

There is no such thing as a "free market." Never has been, never will be. It is a Right Wing fantasy.

What's happened to markets (real estate, mortgages, credit swaps, credit insurance) during the Dubya Administration has been a great example to the American People of the limits of all this hard Right Wing mumbo-jumbo about "free markets." How much more punishment do these conservative clowns expect this nation to endure?

I think it's hilarious people defend Ayers so I guess we agree on some things.
I've never seen anyone defending William Ayers. Have you? Please show me one post where I said that planning to bomb buildings is acceptable. Obama has always denounced such acts. All I ever said is that Obama cannot be responsible for something another man did when he was 8 years old. I've worked with hundreds of people in my life and have no idea what they did 30 or 40 years ago. John McCain was in his 50s when he partied with the Keatings and he was a friend of Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy when he was 62. Liddy had a fundraiser for McCain at his house, so doesn't that mean McCain associates with convicted criminals?

All the people rallying around this mythical character who is called "Joe the Plumber" are supporting a man who fabricated a story. Whatever happened to integrity? Even if he was dreaming of buying the plumbing business, it only makes about $100,000 which means he would still benefit from Obama's tax plan. It's completely absurd to call the average Joe (excuse the pun) someone who makes over $250,000. I don't see why it is socialism to talk about helping 95% of the people. I think it's called being a responsible American who is sick of seeing good people suffer while the greedy corporations get richer.

You wouldn't consider partaking in an irresponsible, untrue smear sick?... Maybe just irresponsible? Whatever it is, I think it's a shame.

McCain joked that Democrats had already begun attacking Joe the Plumber, the Ohio man whom he referred to in Wednesday night's debate, and claimed "that this honest, hardworking small businessman could not possibly have enough income to face a tax increase under the Obama plan."

"What they don't know is that Joe the Plumber recently signed a very lucrative contract with a wealthy couple to handle all the work on all seven of their houses," McCain said, drawing laughter with the reference to his property holdings.
