illini07: 1) good to hear.
2) felons already can not own guns. felons have many of their rights stripped, including voting for the president. that has nothing to do with gun laws. laws only are there for law abiding citizens, so passing more laws is in fact no way in fact to curb violence. there is though one way to curb violence efficiently, arm the populace. works statistically every time.
3) fire dep, and the rest are all state (city) level, not federal. so again, your ideas of high taxes for things we need are flawed. taxing me for social security which i will never see, and taxing me to pay for social welfare programs that dont ever work is not only no fair, but criminal.
your comparing us to the russians is nothing more then idiotic. sarah palin, who i assume you are talking about, has had more experience then obama in an executive role, and she is the vp, not the pres nominee. btw, the president is an executive position, not legislative, no matter how much biden thinks so. sarah palin has an approval rating in her state higher then any other elected official in a state capacity.
i do want someone like me in the white house, who knows that it is hard to pay the gas prices, and high food prices. who knows that a quarter of my earned income not staying in my pocket is ludicrous. the difference between wanting someone like her, and say a communist would be the penchant for communists to want more government, like obama (who is a marxist, btw), and conservatives to want less (present president not included). she decreased the size of the govt in alaska, and fought corruption in her own party. how is she the same old…..? obama, he may actually be to blame for freddie mac and fannie mae! community organizers are used by organizations like acorn to intimidate corporations like banks to give “equal” products to people who cant afford it. in this case, houses.
only an insane person would think obama is better for this country. even biden doesnt think so, except he wants to be vice president, so he is going on the obama bandwagon.
