4. Good!

I still don't understand why the repukes making less than $250,000/y in the red belt don't want to have tax cuts, and why they STILL want McGambles to give some $300,000,000,000.00 MORE tax-cuts to his filthy rich lobbyists.

6. If a LIHOP or MIHOP happened now to manipulate the election, it could crush the economy so

badly that the penalty for the rich would be decades of zero-profit years. The rethug's best bet for economic health is to put their best and brightest SS men on Obama and make sure he's safe.
