*s other debate gaffe...why is nobody paying attention? |
|
Did * not say, in regard to his lies about Kerry raising taxes, "That's why the rich hire accountants and lawyers, to stick you with the bill." Is that NOT an admission that the wealthy get away with weasling out of paying their fair share, just like Chimpy weasled out of Viet Nam???
WTF?????

1. I think that's part of his stump speech and not from last debate |
|
but perhaps he'll trot that out tomorrow night.

3. yes, it is, and the dems, of course, have NOT taken advantage of it |
|
the way they might have, and the media HOES ignore it, as they do EVERYTHING the dems don't bring to their attention six hundred times. that's their excuse for not doing their job at ALL, lazy FUCKHEADS!
no echo chamber for us, but the dems MUST start hammering some KEY points home, over and over and over and over and over
there are only THREE FRICKIN weeks LEFT?
when are they going to TAKE THE GLOVES OFF?
November third?

If I'm not mistaken, that was some of Bush's logic when he asked for the tax cut back in 2002. Something like the rich just hire accountants and lawyers to get out of paying too much tax, so we might as well just give it to them.

5. I think that statement was "Bush bait" and Kerry didn't bite? |
|
The reason I say that is that the media has a snippet of a story about that recently (can't recall which station) but supposedly Kerry paid 12% of his income in taxes and the Bush's paid 30% :eyes:
Just a guess?

6. that's about # 1,735 on the list of important things . . . |
|
that the media isn't paying attention to . . . which is why most people in this country are so ill-informed about most everything . . . which is what enables about half of them to feel comfortable voting for someone like George Bush . . . which, when you add it all up, bodes ill for this country's future, and for the future of the planet . . .

7. Like calling $84 of logging income a small business |
|
That's what he said and that's what Kerry meant when he referred to the logging income. It's the only thing in Bush's income that qualifies him as a small business. So they take that and his total income and use it to make the small business numbers larger. And stick us with the bill.
