I just feel dirty, republican voted for democrat in Texas primary

Posted on March 4, 2008 | 1 comment

I just read an interesting post about a republican that voted for a democrat in the Texas Democrat Primary. His decision was made prior to the statement by Rush Limbaugh. Here is an excerpt:

“I voted Democrat today for the first time in my life. And I feel absolutely horrible about it.  Since I voted Democrat today, I’ll think like a Dem and blame the system.  My reasoning, which pre-dated Rush’s call for Texans to vote Hillary, was solid. If Hillary and Obama remained locked after today, the Democrats wouldn’t be able to lock their nomination till late August in Denver. That means the Democratic nominee would only have six weeks to launch a national convention.”

New ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that a majority of Democrats want Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to stay in the 2008 nomination race if she loses Ohio or Texas

Posted on March 4, 2008 | 1 comment

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that a majority of Democrats want Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to stay in the 2008 nomination race if she loses Ohio or Texas. This is ironic since people such as conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh want Hillary to stay in the race to continue fighting with Obama. The poll respondents voted 2 to 1 for Hillary to stay in the race.

Texas Primary results 2008, Hillary or Obama, election results

Posted on March 4, 2008 | Leave a comment

The pollsters are proclaiming a lead for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama in Texas. Rush Limbaugh is urging people to vote for Hilary. Will there be enough new voters voting for Obama? Will enough people vote for Hilary to stop Obama? As soon as the results are clear, they will be posted here.

Here are some comments from AOL Hot Seat:

“Truthfully, I think that History will tell our posterity that 2008 was the year that “America Woke Up” and realized, you can’t keep electing Liberal Socialist Demoncrats into office and allowing them to keep waving the American Flag, while they are constantly empowering Government to regulate our thoughts, actions, and desires, with absolutely no ability of freedom of choice in how we will live!

NO MORE DEMONCRATS. Freedom Forever!!!!!!!”

Regarding the Rush Limbaugh impact:

“His plan very well could work. His objective is only to keep the vote close enough to keep Hitlary in the race, and keep these two Liberal Socialists fighting, tearing down, and exposing each other for what they REALLY ARE.

Keep both of these Liberal Socialist Democrats (LSD) active and fighting”

By mid afternoon, election officials in Ohio and Texas indicate a high voter turnout, despite bad weather.

Will enough people vote for Hilary to stop Obama? As soon as the results are clear, they will be posted here.

Posting rules, disagreement, civility, accuracy, insults, hate, Clinton versus Bush taxes

Posted on March 1, 2008 | 7 comments

Several days ago I posted an email that was sent to me regarding the tax rates and federal taxes imposed under the presidency of Bill Clinton and George W Bush. I clearly stated that the data came from an email and provided a link to The Tax Foundation. I knew that tax rates have been lower during the presidency of George W Bush and that Democrats are generally known for raising taxes and Republicans for lowering taxes. I posted the email as received and wanted responses. I received a response that is typical of a certain political segment that is known for slinging insults and an agenda of hate. The poster used a derogatory term and therefore the post got deleted. It was ok to disagree with a post on this blog or me. However, it must be done in a civilized manner. I have posted corrected data which still shows a big difference between the taxes paid during the Clinton years versus while George W Bush has been in office. This is one of the many lies about George W Bush that have been told, that he only cuts taxes for the rich. The Republicans try to keep taxes lower for everybody that earns income and thus prevent government from taking more of our money. It belongs to us!

My friends, I urge you to seek the truth. Do real research and go beyond the political rhetoric and lies.

Bush versus Clinton corrected tax data, tax tables, George Bush taxes

Posted on March 1, 2008 | Leave a comment

The email that was sent to me had some math errors, however the message is the same. Your taxes have been lower under the presidency of George Bush. Here are the corrected figures:

The table below presents the correct amount of tax paid by each of the hypothetical taxpayers in the comparison. Note that this comparison does not take into account the Alternative Minimum Tax, and the taxpayers in these examples take the standard deduction and do not have children.

Individual Income Taxes Under Presidents Clinton and Bush, 1999 Law and 2008 Law
For taxpayers who take the standard deduction and have no children
Taxpayer Tax under Clinton, 1999 tax law Tax under Bush, 2008 tax law
Single, income of 30,000 $3,157.50 $2,756.25
Single, income of 50,000 $7,262.50 $6,606.25
Married, income of $50,000 $5,085.00 $4,012.50
Single, income of $75,000 $14,262.50 $12,856.25
Married, income of $75,000 $9,426.50 $7,762.50
Single, income of $125,000* $29,378.50 $26,472.25
Married, income of $125,000* $23,426.50 $19,462.50
*This chart does not take into account the Alternative Minimum Tax
