The youth vote is in, and it says Obama will win

we are their future

I am soooo thankful someone has the INTELLIGENCE to see what is really going on.  We are getting a snow job by the Obama campaign and any child with grade school education could tell you his number do NOT add up.

We have about 40% of the US not paying taxes, yet Obama says he wants to cut middle class tax some more.  Well, as a middle class person, I am all for paying less taxes but his numbers and voting record do NOT add up. 

Obama says he will not give Middle Class a tax hike, NO, he just wants to take AWAY the tax cut Bush gave us!!!!!  Technically, that's not a hike but I will take home LESS pay.   Under Bush, it was the Middle Class that benefitted the most by percentages!!!  MC tax payers taxes in the $30-60,000 range could almost double if Obama gets rid of Bush's cuts!   

As for the rich not paying enough taxes, get over your class bias.  The top 3% pay over 95% of the taxes!!!!  The other 90-something pay very little of the overall tax burden.  Don't get me wrong, I cannot afford a higher tax but NO ONE should have to pay 50% in taxes! 

For those of you who are not intelligent enough to know this, the wealthy create jobs and investments that benefit us ALL.  Perfect example, you are on a computer right now.  The average person is only able to afford a computer now due to the fact that wealthy bought them during their "expense" start up years.  This allowed the manufacturers to survive until mass production was feasible.   This is true for most of the things we consider common household items such as TV's, refrig.'s, car's, etc.   So when the Democratic Party gets off it's class warfare, we will be a lot better off!!!

Also, as I have stated before, it's the liberal's who are the ones who stoop to ugle personal attacks and name calling!!!!  Case in point, just look at the vulgar and low-class anti-Palin shirts the liberals are wearing.  If that we a Republican wearing something like that about Hillary, there would be he-- to pay!  We wouldn't here the end of it in the media!!!  Yet, you don't see a single story about it on MSNBC only on Fox and other non-biased news orgs.

Oh, and as for the Dems playing the race card AGAIN!  It's the Dems that keep the race war alive!!!!  You don't see the Republican's going on and on about color, they look at CHARACTER of the person.  And boy is Obama a character!   CAUGHT in one lie after another.

Sooooo, No, I don't want to take political advise from a young generation that is probably the most screwed up we've ever raised.  Look at the facts, the kids killing parents, kids killing others because they looked at them wrong, etc.  These young kids couldn't pass a history or economics test if they tried and you liberals are extolling their virtues?!?!?  Please,  as a young mother, I see that my own generation is just beginning to "learn" the truth about government although I have always been one of those involved in what is going on thanks to a politically active Democratic mother who got smart and changed parties when the Dems went so FAR left.

An gentleman told me just yesterday about an old adage that I find completely true.  "A young person will be a liberal after leaving college but will be a conservative Republican by the time they are 40".  That's because after they have LIVED and paid taxes and seen the error of their youth, they get real and think about it.

Sorry lady, that old guy was wrong. The past practices of the republican party have pushed me to the left. So, I have lived and paid taxes and see the error of my youth was supporting the GOP, not the other way around.

"A young person will be a liberal after leaving college but will be a conservative Republican by the time they are 40".What a load.   I was a Republican from the age of 18.  I voted first for Reagan, then Bush I and Bush II in 2000.  I fought in the first Gulf War.  Post 40, it has taken the last 8 years of Bush for me to see the light.   I'm voting for Obama.What has changed my political views in this election?I've seen what failed economics have done to this country.  I have seen how shortsightedness have led us into an unnecessary war.  I have seen how incompetence and stubbornness have led to the deaths of thousands of my brothers and sisters in arms, not to mention hundreds of thousands of civilians.  I've seen Iran and North Korea become stronger.  I've seen my privacy invaded, my rights stripped away.  I've seen a VP who feels he is above the law and a government so obsessed with secrecy that it scares the hell out of me.    I have seen my paycheck remain flat, my state and local taxes go WAY up due to cuts in Federal dollars to the states.  I've seen my property taxes triple in one year far outstripping any Bush tax cuts.  I've seen gas prices, food prices, just about everything increase alarmingly.   I've watched my retirement account that I've faithfully contribute into for the past 20 years lose half its value in a week.  I've seen my house lose 30% of its value.  I've seen friends lose their jobs, their houses and their sense of self-worth.  I've seen foreclosure signs pop up all over my neighborhood.   I've seen small businesses close their doors. I've seen the dollars I spend at the pump go straight into the pockets of the Chinese, Russians and Middle-eastern countries.  I haven't seen any plan to stop it.  I've seen the schools fail to prepare our kids for the challenges of this century.  I've seen them fall behind in basics like math and science.  I've seen art and music programs dropped entirely.  I've seen major U.S. cities destroyed and citizens left for fend for themselves and die in their attics waiting for help to arrive.  I heard the hatred coming from the Republicans, the name calling, the racial innuendos.  I've felt the ugliness from the McCain campaign and from Sarah Palin in particular.  Frankly it did nothing but strengthen my resolve in preventing Ms. Palin from setting foot in the White House.We are all so busy just trying to make ends meet.  We are all working away at our jobs trying to get ahead.  We all cringe when we stop to fill up our cars or at the grocery checkout.  We all worry at the end of month when we look at the pile of bills and balance in our accounts and wonder how we can afford to buy the kids new coats and calculate in our minds how many years left before we have to send them off to college.  Yet, with so many people struggling, McCain want to continue Bush's failed policies and spend billions more of our dollars on an unnecessary war, give billions more to large multi-national companies in tax breaks, privatize social security, continue to deregulate industries and stop government oversight.   He will lead this country to its end.  It is time to try something new.  We need a new New Deal.  We have to get America working again.  We have to produce more than we consume.  We need money flowing in rather than out.

I love Repubs using scare tactics. WE DO NOT KNOW OBAMA! Really? How so? What do you want to know or what you already know you do not like and want to hear something else. I know Mccain and I do not like him period! He has lied to the public in ways that is dangerous for this country.

Did you read the article?  They're not old enough to vote!

Call ACORN they can fix the age problem.

Better yet call Palin she will abuse her power as governor and  and get them to vote she will contact them by phone , email or text them at the mall. Then she will lie and say, " I quote" I did nothing wrong.

Donna-sad but true

Why would she need to draw herself?

What makes you think she has not made an intelligent decision? People with different political ideologies will vote differently. Nothing wrong with that.

I do not mind ideologies or opinions GMM is expressing their opinion. My opinion is if you try to say something about someone at least have merit not just opinion or else you get my opinion which is Jane is spinning with no merit and she is unintelligent. My opinion.

sorry, i took the preparation o these children into where they would be as voters, did not mean to go so far off the article...but... these kid are being educated the same way that the ones who registered this election season... if they are not being taught how to examine issues, they will become ill-prepared to vote...we are a visual nation refusing to read The Congressional Record, watch CSPAN... again, sorry if i'm a skeptic about the training of our next generation of voters...

iculook- think about the voting records of the experience, 19 times Against Children's Heath Issues, ok, do young girls always want to get less pay? Follow the money- (there's a chart on the Politico site, old folks will make a better decision than you just did)

I am sad kids cant vote, they are smarter than you!

Wow...just because I don't think the way you do I am not smart.  How long did it take for you to come up with that one...idiot!  Better not let mommy and daddy know you are on the computer again.  You might get whooped like Ocrapa is gonna get!

iculook- you're not stupid because you don't think like me. You're stupid for many, many other reasons. The fact that you are willing to elect a president who has picked a running mate who will be on trial soon makes you pretty stupid.

Well, look at what you just wrote, any kid will have a better rational than you.  Is this all you have? The truth hurts doesn't it?

I wrote it like that in hopes that it would be on your level and that you would understand.  Do you need me to use smaller words or spell it out for you?  The truth...you can't handle the truth!  Kids are to be seen and not heard.  You must be from the north...sorry, there i go using words with more than one syllable again.  Here, let me help you..........y o u  no-no.  Bad baby. 

I am now not surprised you will vote for McCain/Palin.

I am now surprised you can read big words.

iculook I voted for Obama today.

And Palin has what experience to run the country when McCain can no longer?  By the way they said that Clinton had too little experience too and this country was 1000 times better off during the Clinton years then the bush years.

OMG, you absolutely make no sense.

It's hard to explain anything to someone that isn't smarter than a 5th grader.

Iculook, have a great life!

But by the way you sound you are a miserable human being. I feel so sorry for you.

Wow...we went from how bad Ocrapa sucks to me being a miserable human being.  Are you in your basement at your moms house right now?  I do have a great life...thank you.  I wake up every day with a smile on my face.  I wonder how you wake up?  Is it from a prison cell, mommy's basement, or the library because that is the only place you can get a woman to talk to you and she is telling you that you have an overdue book that you owe .05 cents on?  You need to go spend $5.00 at Wal-Mart and get you a mirror and look at it every now and then.  Because when you have one finger pointing at me saying I am a miserable person and you feel sorry for me, you have 3 of your fingers pointing right back at yourself.  You should get out of the house more...get some sun on that skin...get out with the real world and see that there is more to life than your parents basement!  Good luck on your new outlook...and may god have mercy on your soul.

And a child shall lead them.

Muslim is not a race. It is an ethnic group. Get over your ignorance. So, you have an issue with "yankees". It's oh so apparent that you like to label people as this or that. That shows a low IQ.
Thank God I was raised to be tolerant to the differences in people. Different races, different religions, cultures, etc.
Try to be more open in your thinking. Don't paint everyone with the same brush. "Muslims" are no more dangerous than "Eskimos". Stop tying radicalism to Muslims.
That said, to alleviate your paranoia, Obama is a Christian with a Muslim background. There is no reason to be afraid of that. If you disagree with his policies that's fine. To bash the guy with veiled associations to Islamic Fundamentalists is wrong.

Damn...you said the Eskimos word!  Oh crap!  Have you seen the spears that they use?  OMG!  Ok, no paranoia here...just don't think we should elect someone that doesn't reflect the way that 95% of Americans believe.  Muslim, Islamic, Sadam Hussein...what's the difference.  If they are violent people, then they are labeled as VIOLENT!  It doesn't matter what their race is or religion is.  They all hate us because we are what they long to be. Just one more question...do you live in the north?

So you conclude that all Muslims are violent people? If so, you couln't be more obtuse.

It's confusing to me that Obama leads in the polls yet you say 95% of Americans don't believe in him. So, using your logic, McCain wins 95% to 5%. Thanks for the education.
And what exactly is your obsession with the north? Are you sore you got your ass kicked in the civil war? That's been over 140 years ago. Let it go.

iculook- What's with the north thing? So I'm from the north, what of it? I've got no problem with southerners. I have a problem with idiots. Idiots who would rather have an experienced moron (bottom of his class) as opposed to a brilliant, (graduated with honors) less corrupt President. Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld are some of the most experienced politicians in Washington. Look how well that worked.

Amen Michgunandboat. I am from Pa, also own guns but darn it no boat (yet). I wish I had a Lake Mich to go boating on. That would be really cool. Hunting season coming up. It can't come fast enough.

Wow...some people love to show their inability at intelligence...95% christian...the other 5% is the other religions here in AMERICA...duh!  I don't have an obsession with the north.  Most yankee's think they are better than everyone else down south, and your post shows that, and if the war happened again...you sure wouldn't be saying yous guys any more...it would be ya'll.  I tell you what, how about you from the north and me from the south get together and see if we can settle this the old fashion way, huh? 

Michigan, do you want the counter person at McDonald's being your president?  Evidentally you do.  First or last in your class doesn't mean you have the ability to lead and accomplish anything.  It just means that you can read and retain information.  If you don't have REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE, then you are ignorant and inexperienced, period!

Ya, no paranoia in you my friend. None at all. You're the poster child for what's wrong with any area of this nation; north,south,east or west. Cool down dude. Maybe you could join Palin with her seccessionist act up in Alaska. That way, you be the "north" and everyone else will be the "south". You need to work out your frustration.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems you want to get a little violent with me? Whatever floats your boat. I'll buy you a beer after the election and we can celebrate Obama's landslide.How's that?

JFKWERERU- This IS my hunting season. I love to bow hunt. It's much nicer in the woods before all ot the republicans get out there. I'll gun hunt for about a week, but usually have my tags filled by then. Sometimes I go out in December for muzzleloader, after the republicans have decided it's too cold to be outside.

I know how lucky I am to have the Great Lakes, and how important it is to protect them. I fish Erie, Huron and Michigan.

That sounds like a deal, but don't be crying in that beer when you hear your golden boy didn't make it on the "W" side.

Ya, my mistake. It is hunting season, I was really referring to deer season in Pa that opens in December. I love to bow hunt also, but my job at this time prevents it. I'm currently in Atlanta for 18 months, then back to Pa. I really miss home that's for sure.

your proving that atleast one southerner is lesser than intelligent

Muslim is not a race, but it is not an ethnic group either. A Muslim is a person who practices Islam.

Are all religious practitioners now ethnic groups? I guess that makes Christians an ethnic group?

Not sure what says about your intelligence JFK.

Hey did you know that McCain gave a keynote address at a recent ACORN gathering?

Obama didn't invent ACORN. The same greed and corruption that drove unscrupulous Americans to finance mortgages to those who could not afford them, to hire illegal aliens to work well below minimum wage, to abuse their gubernatorial power, to accept bribes and favors for their services, etc. etc, etc...

Whether they be democrat or republican, corrupt, greedy individuals are in a class of their own.  They have little respect for the law, and are only motivated by selfishness.  

 McCain... (someone I was once going to vote for, after Hillary didn't get the nomination) His pick of Palin floored me - how inconsiderate can you be?  @age 72, you pull a trick out of your hat like that?  SELFISH.

If it had been McCain that was involved with the ACORN group, we never would have heard the end of it. But now that it's Obamee, well, let's just brush that under the carpet. (It's getting crowded under that carpet with all the William Ayres crap and the Church stuff and the Anti-American junk under there)

there is no "Ayers crap". Us Democrats researched all of this when Hillary brought it up and we all decided that a guy who was never convicted of a crime and who is now a respected Proffessor who sits on charitable boards that stand up for the needs of children really wasn't someone to be worried about. But by all means, keep pushing for it to be an issue. The only people listening is the republican base. By the way, that is not a slam on Hillary- I'm just saying that the whole process caused the vetting of the Democratic candidates. Not so with the republicans. Hillary in '2016!

Of course there's no problem when you dems research something against "your boy"...how could there be...? You guys are NEVER PARTIAL....you guys are always upstanding patriots...Hahahahahaha!

keep listening to that gut of yours. The rest of us will listen to logic and the facts, but you just keep listening to your body parts.

Any brain cells in that gut of yours?

I got a body part for you to homie. I guess you don't know the difference between right and wrong. Haven't you ever heard of a gut feeling? Wow...maybe they should review how they teach ya'll up there?

Well, if I don't know the difference, then a majority doesn't know. On the other hand, a majority didn't know in 2000 and 2004, so that is not a comforting thought...

Like the homie part too. lol...

That is exactly what I want my kids learning in school! Listening to your gut 101. George Bush acted on his gut feelings quite often. He's even said so. Listen to your gut when that is all you have available. We still have a survival instinct in us that can and should guide us in quick life or death situations. This is not a "gut" type situation. Everyone has plenty of time to make an educated decision based on facts.

Here we go with the race crap again.  It's go nothing to do with race, it's inexperience that I'm worried about.

You are right...if he is so good, why isn't he running away with the race?  It's because the kids they are polling to show that he is ahead in the race either don't answer their cell phones because they are at school, or they realized that they will be busy on election day and won't be able to go vote like they thought they would.

I think it something else: if barack would be white, he would be up by at least 25 points.

No, if Obama was white, he would have gone the way of John Edwards and Hillary would be the nominee.

iculook, Obama isn't racing ahead because of all the racists. You do know if you don't support Obama you're a racist right?  Can't wait for him to win and then all the racists will be shut down.

Palin isn't from the north, she's from Alaska...there's a big difference in that.  Where did Ocrapa grow up?  Was it outside the United States?  Guess that makes him a terrorist too, huh?

Okay, iculook. I answered you that I'm from the north. Now let me ask you just out of curiosity, how old are you and what is your education. Honesty is required. Thanks.

Easy tiger, keep the words below 3 syllables...

38 years old and I's gradiated frum coledge 2.  I's gradiated frum 6th grade twice!  Give me a break.  I guess the yanks can't handle and educated person from down south.  We can even put words together now like...you all, do you want too, she ought to...instead of ya'll, youuntto, sheotta.  Ain't ya'll proud!

My money is on michgunboat. Go easy on him. He'll owe me a beer after the election.

I played Hockey for ten years. There will be some bleeding, but he'll still be able to have that beer. We can all have a beer and discuss how fruitless it was to fight. Fun is not always fruitful. but I'll shake his hand when it's over.

Do you really think I am one of those scrawny republicans that can't hold their own?  Boy are you wrong.  Don't you know they grow them big in the south?  ol'fashion head thumpin'?  You sure you ain't from Alabama?  Guess your gonna lose your money jfkwereru and you are gonna have to buy the beer too.

At least I know you don't have a glass jaw like ya'll normally do.  Call your wife and tell her to come scrape you up.  2 minutes in the painility box!

Ok iculook, lets hammer out the details. I'm sure that I'll need to come down to you since your camero is most likely up on blocks in the front yard right? No problem. I like WV, NC, TN, KY best, but I'll meet you wherever you need me to. We're going to have to make it a weekend (I have a job). Weekend is what we call Saturday and Sunday in the north. Many of us who work for a living try to take those two days off.

Wow...the drive through at McDonald's won't be the same without you.  You will need more than a week-end, so you might want to schedule some sick time after that for you to recover.  Preferably a week or so.  While you are down here, I will take you and show you what a deer really is...not one of those little things thats barely bigger than a lab that ya'll have up there.  Don't worry, I'll push the wheel chair for you.

Oh, I sold the camaro...so there! Got me a mustang now.

Besides, I am not a republican or a democrat.  I just don't want to hear all these people crying about who they voted for and how bad a job they are doing.  The democrats are going to cry and raise taxes, the republicans are going to cry about the democrats raising taxes.  Maybe we should all move to the Caribbean and sit on the beach?

A MUSTANG!? That's built up here in the north. Be careful, it'll turn on you. Are you sure it's not a Maverick? You haven't told me where you're from yet so I can't compare the average deer in Michigan to the deer where you live. I do ok. We've got a huge deer population, we just don't have as many BIG deer as some other states. So, we're in agreement! You win the deer argument, and I win the political argument. Can we still fight?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Actually, animals of the same species will always be larger in the northern climates. the reason is the animals weight to surface area ratio.  Now follow carefully iculook, here's where math is involved. The surface area for a given animal does not go up in the same  proportion as it's weight. In other words, if weight goes up by 25%, surface area goes up less. So animals in the north, put on more weight and have less heat loss through their hide. After a few million years of evolution, the animals in the north are bigger given the same age, sex, etc.

The largest whitetails on record come from Minnesota, North Dakota, Maine, etc.

Maybe he meant beer in stead of deer...

The funny part is that none of her kids ever played organized hockey. But then again, the troopergate report cleared her from any wrong doing according to her too.

If you live in the north, and are not a yankee, then what are you?  Not being a smart azz or anything, but that is the only thing I have ever heard ya'll called.  If the whole world went to war today and it was every family for themselves, would you trust them?  Would you trust the neighbors on the other side of you?  Would you trust Christians, Jewish, Buddist, Mormons, Jehova Witnesses?  Who would you trust besides yourself and your family?  Being intelligent and highly educated doesn't amout to much when you have to choose to fight terrorism.  It's called a backbone...you can't talk a terrorist to death.  Action speaks louder than words.  And the last time I checked, I was allowed my right to speak my opinion...this is America, right?

How does Obama plan to catch Bin Laden...? Is he going to send out his spys through his families Muslim network...? you libs crack me up...always looking for something to justify your ignorance!

I am an individual who wouldn't judge another by geographic regions, religions, race.  I am a christian, who teaches sunday school every sunday and sings in the choir.   I am a mom who would like to see a successful future for my children.   That is who I am, not a yankee.  See, we as American's have always labeled people, based on what they are, not who they are.   This is why racism continues to survive in our world today.   I would not distrust my neighbors simply based upon their race or religion.  I would make up my mind based on how they conduct themselves as a person.  I do have a next door neighbor that I wouldn't trust for anything.  They have proven themselves to be highly unlawful.  Check fraud, welfare fraud, domestic disputes, drug charges.  Based on that, they are not someone I will trust.  As for you, I think that you are simply trying to get your point of view across.  I may not agree with you, but that doesn't mean that I am going to labe you as anything other that a concerned American, who sees a different solution.   

Ramzfan, I am neither ignorant or a liberal.  I consider myself to be more independent.  I have done my research, I have read both Senator McCain's and Senator Obama's websites, quite extensively in fact.  I have watched the debates, I do watch the news stations including Fox News and MSNBC, mainly for entertainment purposes, because they are both very one sided.  I get most of my daily news from CNN.  I have weighed in on the issues that are facing my family most heavily, healthcare and the economy and have made an educated decision, which I hope everyone would do in such an important election. 

Is that how it's done in BIG deer country?

Wow...now I'm a racist, loud mouth idiot that never shuts up.  Only a racist would call someone else a racist...so, here's your sign.  I am a loud mouth, but aren't we all?  And and idiot would not know how to operate a computer, get a job, graduate college, and live life.  Guess I am not qualified as an idiot then, so you keep your flashlight and your compass and come out of the closet when you are ready to.

There are a million idiots online, case in point, you, so as it turns out, idiots can operate computers. A person who can clearly see, by your actions and comments, that your a racist redneck moron, would call you racist. If you have a job, I'd be shocked, unless of course you get paid down there for cow tipping. I knew a lot if idiots in college. And any moron can stumble through life, again case in point, you.
next

The dems didnt write this article.. scholastic did.

and your point is....? That's like saying that NBC isn't LIBERAL...!

Sorry, I don't catch the correlation. The children voted, this is who they voted for, end of story... I don't see anyone counting any chickens.
