GO AHEAD, VOTE FOR A SOCIALIST! SEE IF I CARE! Piss away your rights, screw up your standard of living.

Put incompetent buffoons in charge of your childrens’ edu … Ooops, too late.

But when the bread line wait goes into its second day, don’t come crying to me.

The Roger Simon you cite is chief consultant for Politico while this site is written by Roger L Simon, mystery writer, award winning screenwriter and the CEO of PajamaMedia as the web site above states.

Politico’s Roger Simon is indeed embarrasingly an Obama apologist to the nth degree.

Firstly, Republicans don’t break America down into “classes”. Definitions of the “Middle Class” are different for everyone. McCain speaks in terms of Americans without class distinction. I am sure that your definition of “Middle Class” might be different from mine, which would be different from any one else who commented on this board.

Whatever your definition of “Middle Class” is, Obama’s policies would adversely affect the wealth and productivity of most Americans. His plan to tax the rich” and redistribute to the “poor” is not what America is about. It is the agenda of the communist-mentored socialist that Obama is, however.

As far as oil companies are concerned. Have you actually calculated the oil company profits in terms of return on invested capital? You are looking at oil company profits in terms of absolute dollars, which is absurd. Oil company’s return on investment is low. Lower than most tech companies. The amount of capital needed by oil companies to explore fields, construct new oil rigs, pipelines, etc. is huge. Most of the past twenty years the oil companies have been reinvesting profits back into capital investment in developing new sources. By taking an additional $4 Billion from oil companies you reduce the ability of the oil companies to develop new resources and to create new jobs. Those who are not in business fail to understand the dynamics of the velocity of capital. Reducing capital of the oil companies and giving it to the government for entitlement programs hurts America.

The only numbers that matter are the vote count and the electoral outcomes on Election Night.

Oh, and Christopher: The whole ‘Joe the plumber’ episode illustrates perfectly what Obama is “for.” He’s for wealth redistribution – that’s the diplomatic name for it, anyway. The vast majority of “small businesses” rank well above Barry’s 250K waterline. The people who work for these businesses make up a majority of the middle class you speak of, and under Obama’s plan, they will be adversely affected in ways that will make people wistful for the economy of the late 70’s by comparison.

19 days left. It ain’t over till it’s over.

Isn’t it a bit rhetorical and cynical to just accuse others of using rhetorical and cynical talking points?

I’m not denying that Obama is what you say he is– what McCain says resonates with me a lot, especially McCain’s take on Joe Biden. However I have questions and reservations about McCain & Co that I want answered, such as why he thinks our friends at ExxonMobil need billions in tax breaks when they have billions in profits?

Roger didn’t answer your questions because they are rhetorical and cynical, fill in your own blanks and amuse yourself. As a Hillary supporting PUMA voter I find you boring and predictable. I know very well what caring and fairness means for Obama. He talks of middle class is cynical when one has his whole story and means of self advancement in proper perspective. The behavior of Acorn, the voter fraud with clear complicity on the part of Obama is not new to me. I witnessed what went on in the the Democratic Caucuses, Obama’s guiding principles are the same as those he hangs with, Ayers, Wright, Rezco, etc. You are wasting your time.

One: Are you suggesting that America’s strength is not in its middle class? And follow-up, why is McCain’s concern for the middle class genuine while Obama’s is campaign BS?

Two: You still did not answer why oil companies making record profits need another 4 billion dollar tax break. Can’t they keep on drilling with their own money?

Look, I am a Hillary supporter voting McCain so in all candor I can only speak from my own perspective and the “change, but play it safe” is more my mentality. As unenthusiastic much of McCain’s support may seem, if people are still undecided after last night’s debate then they will remain unenthusiastic for Obama as well. True independents know McCain isn’t Bush and aren’t about to punish the GOP by potentially punishing themselves, McCain is the “devil they know”, which is definitely how I feel.

I think the real story is as Zogby said, “Obama still hasn’t closed the deal”. My theory is McCain will get the majority of the votes of those not sold on Obama. I also because while only 9% happen to believe security and WOT is the top issue, let’s not overlook the fact that it still remains on their list. I live in Virginia and here is how they are weighing the polls here in Virginia…

2004 35%(D) 39%(R) 26%(I) +4 Republican
2006 36%(D) 39%(R) 26%(I) +3 Republican
2008 39%(D) 30%(R) 25%(I) +9 Democrat

Most battleground states are being weighed in like patterns, a 12 point swing in the electorate of Virginia in 2 years? By the way in 2000 and 2004 Virgina the GOP won by about 8% points, someone is going to be very wrong this year.
