This comes as no surprise to me. Smart democrats have this thing figured out. We will not be fooled (or cheated) again! The country can't afford it....

Smart democrats

Oxymoron.

I read that poll...most of it was done before Edwards dropped out.

In Iowa, you could say who your second choice was. 40% of the Edwards folks listed Hillary and 25% of them listed Obama.

Iowa was a long time ago and not representative of the entire country.

If Obama picks up Edwards voters, it won't be on his message...it will be mostly anti-Hillary sentiment.

That's been the whole deal all along RM! The anti Hllary thing will win the day before the slick republicans have a chance to devour her.

48.42% of American households make more than $75,000 a year (2006).

(pretty charts instead of real data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States)

Tulsa County averages just over $40,000 per hosuehold, suggesting that around 35% of the state makes more than $75K (assuming the ratio holds).
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/Unemployment/RDList2.asp?ST=OK

The Senator's state of Illinois is close to the national average, so one would imagine 48% are above $75K.

So, if I understand this, and this is kind of what I am understanding and pleas correct me if I'm wrong, Obama wants to tax those of us in the top 48% to help the lower 48%. I guess then if that is true, then my wife and I need to get a divorce so we will both be in the lower 48% and the taxes won't eat her business alive.

oxymoron
noun
a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., smart democrat,).

Oh. Thanks. I assumed it was a pain pill taking moron. There's so many out there.

[cannon_fodder]

AOX, explain the spin to me?  I linked DIRECTLY to the hard statistical numbers and to a website with pretty charts.  I had no commentary and was clear to indicate extrapolation.

Are you having trouble distinguishing fact from fiction (spin)?

I heard a great analogy the other day.  Someone compared Obama to the fable Robin Hood, because he wants to "take from the rich to give to the poor".  

The problem is that Robin Hood did not take from the rich to give to the poor.  Robin Hood took, from the Sheriff of Nottingham, the collected tax money,  and gave it back to the people.  Robin Hood was a tax protester.

Lord,
please help those victims of our public school system not to make any more stupid comments like this.  -Amen
