Here in Oklahoma, we know that if you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. ;)

They way they phrase that: Obama not catching on in Oklahoma

As if Obama is something that could "catch you on".

I don't see people lining up to catch AIDS either.

This needs to be repeated throughout all the states who will lose if Obama is the nominee.

I don’t want my stock of popcorn to go to waste, the greatest entertainment in the world would be if logic wins out and Hillary steals it from him.

Of course there will be billions of dollars of damage in all the major cities from the riots, but who’s fault would that be? Not our side, that’s for sure...

You mean, Obama speaking in front of thousands of Germans at a memorial dedicated to German imperialism and treasured later by Nazis didn’t seal the deal Oklahomans?

Bush's fault, naturally.

What you've said is a real possiblilty, if not probability. And that's a pity.

The election should not be about race from most Americans, look at their difference tax proposals each has said would be implemented.

Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election if Obama elected.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN (No change)

0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples) McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA (Increase)

28% on profit from ALL home sales

How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN 15% (No change)

OBAMA 39.6% (Increase)

How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or re invests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 4 0% of the money earned on taxes if Obama become president. The experts predict that ‘higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN (No changes)

Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA (Increases)

(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Under Obama your taxes will more than double! How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing thei r assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet

* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already)

* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)

* New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least...

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

Thank You
