3. Ohio Dems go to JJ Huddle...

Any Ohioans reading this should visit this Ohio-based message board that is INFESTED with Repubs.... It is supposed to be a place where Ohioans of all political beliefs can debate and discuss but it usually turns into attacks on liberals. The moderators, unfortunately, participate in most of the attacks.

14. Nah. My handle is a character in "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis.

Doremus Jessup was a courageous hero of course, but that's where the similarities end. ;-)

7. This post right here is McCain's Achilles Heel, read what I wrote...

and think about what all those super selfish usually votes Republican people will think when they read this:

If you aren't alarmed by John McCain's plan to tax workers on the value of any employer-paid health benefits, you must not be paying attention!

He also plans to eliminate the tax write off companies presently get for providing health benefits.

Wanna guess how many more companies will go the way of WalMart & ditch health insurance?

Unless you are young & have never been seen by a doctor for what an insurer could deem to be a preexisting condition you could end up uninsurable or having to pay prorated costs that you won't be able to afford.

AND THIS

f you are a family that has employer sponsored healthcare you will be paying taxes on the value of that policy if McCain gets elected.

The average annual premium costs for a family with employer-sponsored insurance was $12,106 in 2007, and it was $4,479 for a single person.

That means if you have healthcare now from your job, McCain is saddling you with a tax increase that will only get worse over time.

And yes Lucy, the more you make the more the McCain plan will hurt you.

"Over time, an increasing number of workers will end up paying in higher taxes ... than they will receive in federal assistance through the tax credits. This occurs because the average premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance increase much faster than the health tax credits." - Kenneth E. Thorpe

8. I feel like Chris Farley begging viewers to hire the Herlihy Boy

Mr. O'Malley: Sweet Mother of God, what is the hold up?! Let the boy sleep in your damn bed! He said he'd wash your sheets!

Mr. O'Malley: < outraged > Sweet jumping MARY AND JOSEPH!! Let the boy give the old lady a BATH!! You know she'd give HERSELF a bath if she could!! But she CAN'T!! So let the boy DO IT!! You think she LIKES smelling that way?!! For GOD'S SAKES, have some COMPASSION!! Good.. Lord..!

15. We need to do this because we have to refute the lies & attack McCain?Palin w/the truth, it is the

lurkers we are trying to influence when we refute the lies.

McCain's achilles heel is his plan to tax Employer Provided Health Care benefits.

The cost of the Iraq War and the fact we have no more troops for Afghanistan because of it is McCain's Achilles Heel.

We refute the lies, I refuted the billion dollar lie with snark and a pop culture reference to a knowing as much as a 5th grader

We must focus on a narrow set of issues that moderated and undecided voters care about. The undecideds are mostly uninformed. Who gets to them first will win them.

DUers are UNIQUELY QUALIFIED to perform this task.

All it takes is a keyboard & an internet connection.

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Once you register PM me the link to your User Profile so I can add you to the SW Ohio Rapid Response Team's Web Site & infrequent emails to discuss strategy.

I am having an effect. I just need some more keyboards to increase my effectiveness.

32.9 million page views is a lot of eyeballs.
