So now you admit that you voted Obama based upon uninformed issues and because one guy was obnoxious and the Obama folks were "helpful"?

p.s. "Obama" folks are not allowed IN the polling places, and have to stay outside.. Now your telling me they violated voting rules?

However, the guy who put the casket in place, was there the afternoon I voted. I recognized him from the picture. He was a totally obnoxious azz. He kept SCREAMING..."he will take all your money," "he will take all your money." Very annoying. An loud.

I wondered what ID10T would take that bait.

No, I voted for OBAMA because the Republican party has been captured by a cadre of rich, corrupt folks who are intent on transferring all the wealth in the nation to an elite few. Check some facts, pal, and unless you are in the top 1% of the wealthy in this country, you are just a stooge, a dupe, or a pawn of the ultra-rich. You do their bidding and do not even know it. Check out some stats on wealth, mid 1920's, and and 2008. See when it started changing.

Oh yeah, there is this little trumped up war, too.

If you really believe McCain is a good guy, check out, if you can find it, the Navy video on the USS Forrestal fire. As may know, the fire started when a Zuni missile mis-fired and incredibly, impacted the plane McCain was in, preparing to launch. If you look close, you will see a naval avaiator running from the fire as the damage control teams run toward the fire. Most of those guys, if you keep watching, will die shortly thereafter as some bombs cook off. What do you think happened to the naval aviator running away from the danger?

OK, big man, you decide. If anyone would be so ignorant as to think one would vote based on some loudmouth at the polling place, well I just don't know......

Then what is it doing on the Politics forum?

OK, I see, it was moved. But if it's really about art, it doesn't belong here, either.

He barely knows Wright as a mentor. He only happen to know of him when he would accidentally wake up during his screaming sermons. He most certainly didn't know as Wright espouses he hate for white America secretly behind closed door Wright was cheating on his wife with a white woman or white devil as he would call them.....those nasty evil white people.

Just because he failed to pay, does not mean he "doesnt pay".. only tax cheats dont pay..
Does he or doesn't he have a lien against his house for back taxes?
