This morning, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama, continued the downward ratchet of the level of income at which Barack Obama intends to confiscate income.

Obama started at $250,000, then said $200,000.

Joe Biden then dropped the bar to $150,000 three days ago.

And now, Bill Richardson is telling us that anyone making over $120,000 will be penalized by an Obama administration.

Twas the night before elections

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe

With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

I peered out of my window

Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!

’ On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi’

He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause

And as he flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think

On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

A fellow MCCain supporter here was just commenting that Obambi was taking quite a risk by campaigning like he is...his reasoning? Just too many opportunities for Obama to slip up. Of course we gave each other an evil grin in expectation of schadenfreude should it come to pass!

It’s nice when the surrogates slip up, too!

“but I’m sure they have one.”

I think they’re putting Clooney and DiCaprio on charge of that committee.

And they are still lying because...

1. When they let the Bush tax cuts expire it will raise everyone’s taxes.

2. When he doubles the capital gains tax it will tax anyone who sells any asset they own.

3. When he gets rid of the SS cap anyone making over 95k a year will have that addition money over taxed for Social Security.

4. When he taxes the crap out of corporations, the companies will pass that on to the consumer as well as not create as many new jobs and new wealth (kind of a lose lose proposition).

Bears repeating. Often.

McCain seems to ignoring this vital argument as well, very much to his political peril.

I think he's trying to not be associated with Bush. Right or wrong, Obama has repeatedly said McCain is a Bush clone.

The deuce, noob.

[Issaquahking]

I’m offended! I’m just an electrician, and make over 75. Then again, I already voted yesterday for Maverick/Sarahcuda.

The 0bama supporters are voting for Change. The campaign is just giving them what they want. No matter what he tells you, expect it to change by the time he gets into office. That's the change they need!

Bill Richardson-”DIE Middle Class!!! DIE!!!”

[dervish]

This would make a great TV commercial.

Methinks Obmama meant $250.00.

You know you have some Obama supporters out there all gung-ho about taking other people’s pie, let’s see how they respond when they realize they are part of the pie being stolen from.

Here's a "before and after" photo:

Gee. pretty soon it’ll be $42K..... Go figure

Obama, $250K >>>> Obama, $200K >>>> Krugman, $178K >>>> Biden, $150K >>>> Richardson, $120K

If you can't figure out this pattern, your Math SAT should be:

a) 600
b) 450
c) 300
d) ZERO

A few weeks ago I put in my prediction of $75K means you are rich in AmeriKKKa..... we’re getting closer to my number. Which Dem politician will lower the bid..... ?
