For example: I'm sure Steve Jobs doesn't think I'm rich. But my welfare, drugged up, baby making machine of a cousin can't understand why I won't give her $20 with all the money I make.
Although, I do have to say...when she gets her $2500 check on the 3rd of every month, she doesn't give me any of it either. Maybe it's because I'm not her drug dealer.
That's where the real money is.

McCain and Obama, are puppets that serve the same master that gave you your goverment.report abusebebopredux

Typical Liberal Left drivel. Tag Republicans as "rich" and "big oil". The Clintons and Gore have wealth that far surpasses McCain. Kerry married a wealthy woman or, have you forgotten that? Obama keeps making elitist comments that have many concerned that he views us taxpayers as merely a vehicle to implement his socialist Utopian vision.
I wonder if Obama will live under the same laws he would have "we the people" live under. Would he himself opt out of 24/7 fully automatic weapons protection for him and his family? He would have us "little people" who "cling to our guns and Religion" be unarmed. Make no mistake about that. That my friend is "tyranny" defined.
Sadly, I think the Liberal Left wing will win in November. They will quickly move to shut down opposing views via the "Fairness" Doctrine which is nothing less than Hitlerian. What you say? The Fairness Doctrine is "fair" because it demands opposing views? We have that already. Rush (doesn't that name frost you?) and Hannity and Laura et al are popular because there is AN AUDIENCE FOR IT! You had Air America and it failed. Miserably. So, you would ride on the coat tails of Conservatism to shout down opposition. How utterly scary.
That woould be your "great country" vision wouldn't it? "Gramps" McCain has more integrity in his little toe than the entire inept Democratic "leadership" now in single digit approval ratings.
But, it's all Bush's fault right?report abuse
