Please Please Please Please Please…

…Mr. The One. If you do nothing else in your life, do this:
When [Senator Chuck Hagel [RINO, NE] accompanied Obama on his trip to Iraq and Afghanistan last month, speculation swirled anew that he was a possible vice presidential pick.
Plenty of people have suggested that Obama recruit Hagel, one of the Senate’s most outspoken opponents of the Iraq war. The Illinois senator would benefit from Hagel’s military experience in Vietnam, they say, and Hagel would help temper perceptions that Obama is too liberal. A bipartisan ticket would also support Obama’s call for breaking away from polarizing politics.
Please please please…

The St. Paul police forecast far fewer arrests, but Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher indicated this week that the ACLU’s numbers may be in the ballpark.
Given that Fletcher is demonstrably innumerate (do we need to explain about how 87

No, Mitch, you guys aren’t about cult following, as a result, you don’t focus on meaningless, ad hominem attacks as a political strategery.
Hagel is the actual maverick, unlike McCain.
When is it you guys will get that Republicanism is about using the government as a tool for business and shifting taxes to the middle class, and little (if anything) else?

About the same time you “get” that Tic-ism is about using the power of government to redistribute wealth for the ultimate benefit of a privileged oligarchy, and suppress dissent via shipping people off to gulags in Idaho in Black Marias in the middle of the night.
Hey, if you can demand that we “get” a noxious, stupid, paranoid-to-the-point-of-deranged stereotype, why can’t why demand the same?
You’re not a hypocrite after all, are you?

There he goes again with the “strategery” thing.
The Peev continues to lose his fragile little mind.

Social Security takes 12.4 percent of your income from dollar one until you make a little less than $100k/year. Above that you pay nothing. Medicare tax is similar. Both Social Security and medicare are products of progressive democrat administrations. When Bush proposed a few years ago that social security be reformed, that the people who paid the tax be allowed greater control of their own money the democrats stopped the bill cold, They had plans for that tax money paid by the working poor and middle class.
Democrats support increases in regressive sales taxes, property taxes, and taxes on alcohol and tobacco.
The worst enemy a poor working man has is a democrat.

Penguin-“Shifting taxes to the middle class.” What? You`ve heard it before – the top 50% pay about 97% of the total income taxes, the bottom 50% pay about 3%. And, since Bush became president, the top 1% have actually increased their income tax burden. What kind of “shifting to the middle class” is that, except in your head?

“His head” is pretty much all there ever is.
