It's getting seriously crazy out there. This just came in my inbox...
This has the weirdest list of shit in it I have ever seen. If this is the Great Democratic Conspiracy, I am feeling damned left out.

>>> Give me five minutes please...... I have talked to many of you this political season about the upcoming choices. Some of you are very educated on politics, actually knowing the truth about the candidates beyond what we hear on TV. While others are assuming the position the commercials are meant to target; those that vote based on what they hear. And lastly there are one or two of you that routinely think that politics is one big joke and would vote for Charles Manson if he was running...

I am sure most of you have hit delete by now as you hate me for sending my two cents, but if I can reach one person with facts about OUR future I consider it worth it. I am not for any Republican candidate this election as this is a two Democrat race. One is Republican only by name. So I will choose one Democrat this time around as I never vote party line! One of the Democrats in this race will do the following:
(I challenge you not to dismiss this as fiction - None this is made up. I assure you a lot/most of it will happen and nearly all of it will be attempted under one Democrat)

- Reenact the fairness doctrine ( forces equal time on all talk radio shows - Anti-free speech legislation )
- Grant amnesty immediately to 20 Million illegal aliens
- Appoint at least two of the most radical(non-constitutional) left wing Supreme Court judges (and numerous radical federal judges)
- Cut defense spending by at least 25% when Iran/N Korea/China/Russia/Venezuela are all hugely growing their militaries
- Close Gitmo detention center
- Invoke carbon dioxide taxes on Energy Providers that will DOUBLE your electricity/natural gas costs for your home
- Renew bans on off-shore drilling and drive gas to 6+ per gallon again .. (OPEC drastically cut production last week - expect high gas again soon!)
- Invoke universal health care to everyone, including the 20 Million Illegal's just granted amnesty
- Raise tax rates on corporations (we are already the 2nd highest in the world, why do you think companies leave and outsource jobs?)
- Sign bill #HR6049 - "Tax Relief for Trial Lawyers" Bill. 1.5 Billion for trial lawyers over 10 years ( doubt me? research it folks - this is nuts!)
- Sign his own proposed "Global Poverty Act" bill #2433 - An estimated 845 BILLION in foreign aide over the next 10 years. (this is NUTS!)
- Sign HR6561 - Which will provide gas subsidies to anyone making up to 3 times the Federal poverty level or 63k/year for a family of 4
- Sign a Federal "Wage Insurance" bill - It pays people up to 50% of the difference in wages between an old job if they lose or QUIT any job!
- ELIMINATE the TAX DEFERRAL of 401k contributions - They will eliminate 401k's as we know them and get that lost revenue back to the gov't
- Pass legislation that will subsidize the purchasing of any NEW cars....
- Let the Bush taxes cuts EXPIRE on ALL AMERICANS on the expiration date in 2010 that means 3% minimum higher across the board FOR EVERYONE
- Clinton won by saying he would ONLY tax the rich people but, as we know, he raised everyone's taxes. (while you probably are under the belief that only the rich got anything out of Bush's tax cuts, the facts are that the poor got a 5% tax cut under Bush going from 15% to 10% While the evil rich people went from 39.6% to 35%) --> http://www.moneychimp.com/features/tax_brackets.htm
- Ban on carrying any firearms outside your home (proof in link below)

New Federal Pay Roll Taxes you should expect to be paid by EVERYONE by 2010: Approx 15% more in taxes on top of the 3% raise across the board federal income tax
- Federal Health Care Tax
- Federal Wage Insurance Tax
- Federal Savings Plan Tax (Substitute for our 401k that they eliminate)


How many of you go to work every day and work for poor people? How many jobs a year do poor people create? None!
Folks we have to lose the punish the rich mentality because 95% of us work in jobs provided by Rich people - The less you punish these evil Rich people the MORE jobs there are for us so we can work towards being Rich too! "You do not make poor people rich by making rich people poor!" Folks in these rough economic times please remember your history! Hitler came to power in Germany during tough economic times by giving speeches saying that the rich people are screwing you, and that he will punish The Rich and give all Germans' free health care, retirement plans, and a better over all life provided by GOV'T..... Remember that this failed and Germany collapsed in bankruptcy.

The Great Depression lasted 8 long years why? Because the gov't raised tax rates on the Rich, Period! Research it (From 28% to 70% by end of depression) One candidate will raise taxes into a slow down and make it worse! Markets react based on what? Could it be the potential for the future? Is it at least possible the current markets are preparing for much, much hire taxes??? (our company is)

Right now the gov't owes $125,000 in entitlements per person in the US (not counting the 20 Million Illegal's) or 185k per current US tax payer.... That has bankruptcy written all over it And we have yet to legalize 20 Million Illegal's and give everyone Universal health care? Point to ponder: If free health care for everyone lowers medical costs then why are NY & California incurring 20+ BILLION in debt per year? There are better ways folks!

If by chance I still have your attention and you want even more reasons to think before you vote, please visit this following web site. It has links to every fact it speaks of.
I guarantee many of you will be shocked what some of the candidates have actually SAID versus what they are saying just to be president..... Very educational stuff....

I thank you for time and thank you for being and educated voter... ~RAW

PS. This is something you should forward to everyone in your address book - If you can free one mind this election we are saving America =)<<

14. Forward the email to them as is, with header info
so they can track the sources and respond to as many as possible who got the disinformation.

8. I know, how disgraceful is it that they think that would be a BAD thing....
.... actually, if I'm not mistaken, I've heard Obama say that. That he would close Gitmo (which we all know is a GOOD thing.) Unfortunately I have to get ready for work so I can't cite that, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

6. those are my favorites. the ones under the guise of a serious, studious, sober-minded
professorial type who acts as though he's made a thorough study of that obama thing and come to his serious, studious, sober-minded professorial conclusion.

then lies his/her ass off like a low-level republican hack on the talk shows.

7. Jeez! If only!
To see the people who benefit most from the economy & security we all provide, actually PAY for it. To live in a cleaner, safer country that respects work more than wealth. To be able to turn on any media outlet and find out the truth about the world instead of the current RW propaganda.

If only the Dems had a spine.

10. Well, seeing as how the federal government is the largest employer...
And the only one that has been creating large numbers of new jobs over the last eight years, it would seem that the best way to create new jobs is to raise taxes. By the same logic that "poor people only get jobs from rich people".

I know, I know, that email is pure stupid all the way through. I shouldn't bother even trying to respond.

12. I don't know how these fools portray universal health care
as some huge evil to be avoided. It seems so counterintuitive...oh wait, I guess I'm assuming a degree of rationality here that I shouldn't. Never mind.

13. I was watching either CNN or MSNBC last week and they had a woman
on who said, "You might think universal health care is great and all, but that's just not what America is about. That's not what we were founded on."

Huh?

20. Not surprised.
Because it's a Democratic issue, repubs have twisted it into something evil in ways that defy logic.

15. You forgot the Alien Overlords. [SPOILER ALERT]
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 12:12 PM by Orsino
Obama is saving US$25 million for the welcoming festivities, and another fifteen million has already been spent on the implants that will be attached to the spines of all Inaugural Ball attendees not yet indoctrinated. From his secret moonbase, Hive Lord Hussein-Bftsplk 23.9 will address the planet via the ultra-high-def channel already reserved by the FCC. Our pleasure centers will be stimulated for precisely 139 seconds in honor of the New Era.

We're gonna party like it's 1999, which is kinda funny, because by the Overlords' cross-dimensional calendar reckoning, it actually will be. A key bargaining point was the removal of the Bush/Cheney Administration from our history, you see. I think we'll all agree that the trade was worth it--because we'll have been programmed to agree.

Clearly, there are still a lot of ReichWing paint huffers and glue sniffers out there.

19. This guy has no clue...
...what happened in Nazi Germany. Hitler was one of the most pro-corporate leaders in history. He conspired with the tycoons to destroy organized labor movements, going so far as to import slave labor after the war started. He wasnt anti-rich, he was anti-rich Jew.
