Why Nobama

[mkemse]

Can an Obama supporter please explain how you support his position on this from the ABC Primary debate:



Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax ... he admits it will reduce government revenue ... but he wants to do it anyway ...

Lower capital gains taxes spur investment, investment creates jobs, jobs are good for people who don't have one ...

If you look at the quote you posted he does not say he will raise captial gaines taxes all he said was he would lok at it, many thing have changed in the last couple weeks
I also saw a CBS new poll tonigh that has Obama up 15%

And ealiertoday (Oct 14, 2008 the Chairman of the RNC said if Mccain does not get a huge bump in the Polls aftertomorrows debate, he plans to redirect someo f the money foing to Mccain to other GOP races so even the GOP seems to be loosing faithi n Mcaain ability to win

On the upside, the rock Groups Heart, Jackson Brown Survior and John Cougar Mellencamp have all filed lawsuits again the McCain/Palin ticket using thier songs in their campaign and at the covention without prior permission, as jackson brown said "I do not want any of my songs used by them, i have asked them to stop and they didn't so i filed a law suit, I do not support them or thier ticket and i do not want any one who hears my songs associated with them to think I do, it misrepresents who I am"

I love what was said last night, at Mccain rally he said yes he was concerned about loooisng the race andwanted to focus onthat, later that day Obamam said he want to concentrate on those who may loose their homes, jobs, 401k's, seem ot me big difference in priorities right now
To Bad Ron Paul isn't in this

Right ... that's the other thing he said recently, that he might have to put off implementing his economic plan because it might have a negative effect on the economy ...

Should the next President have an economic plan that he thinks might make the economy worse?

What was the question being asked and the context of the two quotes?

At various times in the last couple months, I've said:

My top priority is getting users of the application I'm writing something mocked and, ultimately, useless, so they can test the user-interface.

That doesn't change that my longer-term top priority is to get them an application that's useful to them. Or that my top priority in a different context is to do everything I can to ensure the continued success of the company I work for. And none of that takes away from my ultimate top-priority of taking care of my family.

But what I describe as my "top priority" changes with the context and the specific question I'm answering.

Seems that, right now, yeah, a candidates "top priority" would be winning the election -- since if they don't do that, none of their other priorities really matter.
