Jody,
as a former geek that used to trace out tripe like this, theres nothing that can be even alluded to the mccain camp on this one.
If i chose to use godaddy for voteforme.com, and told them I wanted private domain info, it'd go thru domains by proxy. Yea, they're in arizona. I could then make my website go anywhere i'd like, such as thisgalsgotbighooters.com, or anything, really, so, its just BS. funny, but BS.
in fact, go here... this is me...

WHOIS domain registration information results for southerncrosssurvey.com from Network Solutions

Like everyone else, they are scared and see the country is in the toilet right now so they don't want to report on stories that would reflect badly on the 'Saviour" party right now. It's all very rational though a regrettably a bit Darwinian.The media just wants a competent person in the WH like the rest of us if you ask me and so their survival instincts are more powerful than any motivations to be "fair and balanced" right now.
If I could fit this in my signature with the daffy-definition of "liberal arrogance" in front of it I would. We should of course all defer to our betters such as the media. Heck, I'm going to give up thinking for myself entirely...seems I've got others that'll do it for me and better. WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS? (g) "Intellectual grasp on things"????? GRASP THIS! (hehe)

Why does someone who makes 18,981$us/year need a 5.5% tax break, do they even PAY taxes ? What's the cut off, anybody know ? Edit -- I checked this out, it looks like even the lowest income brackets pay 10% tax. I actually didn't know that, I thought there was like a low cutoff where people making below a certain amount just didn't pay taxes.

This is indeed bigger than Joe the Plumber; there's no misunderstanding this one. Thanks for the link, Toto!! I heard the same clip on the mainstream radio this afternoon on the way home...this is going to go ballistic.

sck5,
Read this link to Salon and i think you'll have an appreciation, as well as a confirmation, of the undecided voter's status. Undecideds are of two varieties; decided's whom are lying and people whom are not going to vote anyway.

The bad news for Obama about those undecided's : Those "undecideds" are for McCain | Salon

windy - here are their tax "cuts", as defined by a liberal:

  • A $500 "make work pay" payment.
  • A $4,000 payment for college tuition.
  • A payment equal to 10% of your mortgage interest
  • A payment equal to 50% of the amount of money you put into a savings account up to $1000.
  • A payment equal to 50% of the amount of money you pay for child care up to $6000.
  • A payment of up to $7,000 if you purchase a "clean car." By that Obama means an environmentally correct car.
  • Plus ... an expansion of the earned income tax credit .. increased payments on top of your earnings if the government doesn't feel you are earning enough.
There you go ... Obama's "tax cuts." Sounds pretty good, doesn't it. Well, I guess it is, if you're not too successful it IS pretty good. Remember, the harder you work the lower these payments get. Barack Obama's tax plans are all about punishing success and rewarding failure. He understands that if it weren't for failures, Democrats would be scrounging in the alleys for votes.
For further insight, here's the article in it's entirety:

The over-riding question, as I have posed before though is .... Why does Obama deny, disavow or outright lie about so much of his past? It's a matter of public record for pity sakes. The media doesn't have to dumpster dive like they did in Alaska. They don't have to illegally use government databases like they did in Ohio, to go after Joe the Plumber. It's all out there, easily found on the internet, for anyone who wants to make the effort.

Yet, Obama continues to get a pass. We get 5 days of coverage on clothes, and we can't get a half hour on ISSUES. We know about Todd Palin's 22 year old DUI, but we can't see Obama's transcript from Columbia University.

McCain posts EVERY donor, even those below $200 (which isn't required), but with mounting evidence of fraudulent donations, we learn nothing about Obama's. We don't even get spin for why the fraud avoidance software is disabled (something that has to be done manually). It's just ignored.

Not a day goes by without some new story about the mean spirited McCain or Palin, while similar, more smarmy stuff comes from Obama and Biden with nary a word said.

souljour - do you feel you aren't capable of following the news and making your own decisions? Palin is ridiculed for having a degree in journalism, yet we are suppose to bow down to the wisdom of the media elites with theirs?

Think for yourself man. You have internet access. Go out and find the info and make up your own mind.
