    No, it really was about Obama given the highly publicized Ohio plumber's questions to the aforementioned.

    The question is about whether Barack Obama's tax policies, which directly affect small businesses, would cause a small business owner to change his/her vote.

    All you seem to be about is insults, but thats cool if thats your way of debating. Im fine with that.

    I just choose not to participate in it.

    If I want to be fully honest with myself and with you, I guess I'm not angry about people choosing not to vote for Obama because he's black. I can't imagine this country being led by Obama, so by any means necessary.... I guess????

    At the same time, I'm against racism. I'm conflicted on this one.

    The statements made in your posts were not sentences. I do not want to address the points made if they were not in proper sentences -- as that affects how they could be interpreted.

    No insults or personal attacks were intended.

    So its justified in your mind when its someone you are against? You maybe against racism, but you are complicit if it is by any means necessary. I believe you when you say you are against it. But your character should tell you to seperate the issues of racism and policy and not use both of them to defeat a candidate.

    Anyone who makes an uninformed decision is a moron. Unfortunately, this includes a majority of the general electorate. It appears to be a minority on this forum, as most people research or at least see support for differing viewpoints.

    So voting against Obama because he is black is wrong, as is voting for him because he is black. The same can be said for Hillary voters that only considered her being a woman, or Palin for that matter. If you don't look at the records of your candidates, in conjunction with what they say they will do, then you have nothing to complain about.

    Unfortunately, Obama has used the phrase "spread the wealth" in conversation with a plumber that would like to purchase a company. He really isn't even trying to hide it. Joe the plumber is being swatted with the same stick as the uber rich. Sadly, the majority of Americans think that the upper 5% is filled with guys like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They are the overwhelming minority.

    Reality check guys; it's filled by Joe the plumber.

    Absolutely. Why is it such a shock to people that lowering taxes and giving incentives to businesses to create jobs is not a part of republican strategy over the past 30 years? Am I missing something?
