Five reasons to vote against Obama
By Howie Carr | Sunday, November 2, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists
Five reasons to vote against Obama? Only five? I could give you 50, no problem.
1. He wants to tax working Americans back to the Stone Age. He lies when he says he will cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans. You know it’s nonsense because they can’t keep their numbers straight from hour to hour. Obama claims everyone making under $250,000 is safe, or is it $200,000 (the infomercial) or $150,000 (Joe Biden)? On Friday, Gov. Bill Richardson cut it to $120,000.
Oh what a tangled web we weave. The fact is, the wealth-spreaders have vowed to do away with the Bush tax cuts. So everybody who pays any income taxes is going to take a hit. Plus, the friends of ACORN also plan to get rid of the cap on Social Security withholding taxes. That means everyone who makes over $102,700 will be slaughtered. I don’t have room to talk about capital gains.
2. The federal courts. In that famous 2001 Chicago radio interview, Obama wistfully talked about the need for the Supreme Court to break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. You know, those pesky constraints that make us a nation of laws, not governed by the whims of the Friends of Obama, or Jeremiah Wright. You think Breyer and Ginsburg are beyond the pale? Obama’s crowd thinks they’re too conservative.
3. Teach the Obama-worshipping bumkisser media a lesson. Have they ever been more in the tank for anyone? They’re all worried about the Patriot Act and terrorists’ rights at Gitmo, but they had no problems printing flat-out lies about Sarah Palin. More recently, they took handouts from Obama thugs in Ohio on Joe the Plumber’s tax liens, divorce problems, child-support payments etc. - worse violations of privacy rights than anything that’s happened under the Patriot Act. But who cares - Joe the Plumber is just a typical white person.
3. The character of Barack Obama. You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much. He lectures you that your kids will have to learn Spanish - your kids, not his. He’s always railing about economic justice, but his illegal-alien aunt lives in poverty in Southie. Hey Barack, I thought charity began at home. Like John Kerry and Joe Biden, he doesn’t believe in donating to charity. Obama is a classic liberal hypocrite: He’ll give anybody the shirt off your back, not his.
4. Michelle Obama. Another pampered semi-literate Ivy Leaguer who still considers herself a victim, even with her $360,000-a-year job as diversity coordinator at a Chicago hospital. Can you stand four years of this harridan lecturing you on your greed?
5. All the other stuff I don’t have much room for. Where the heck was Barack Obama really born? Don’t forget his pal Bill Ayers dedication of his 1974 book “Prairie Fire” to, among others, Sirhan Sirhan. (Are you listening, Teddy and Caroline?) If Obama loses, Gwen Ifill’s book tanks. The return of the Fairness Doctrine to censor free speech. Joe Biden, a heartbeat away. And the No. 1 reason of all to vote against Barack Obama: If he loses it will drive the moonbats absolutely bonkers.

Maybe he’s afraid of Obama’s taxes and/or losing his job when Obama shuts down the Boston Herald.
How about if the Fairness Doctrine pretty much eliminates
political talk radio? Radio stations will switch format rather than deal with the lawyers and “moderators”. Howie
might have to go to Internet or Satellite radio, true,
but he’d be off the air... so would Rush, Hannity, Laura,
Savage, et al. Howie would lose his job on radio too.
Let’s face it. Obama will screw everything up, even for the every-day moonbats.
good one to send around...
The trouble is, they are all too dumb to "get it" yet. They don't worry until it affects them...and affect them it will.
There is a saying to be careful what you ask for, you may get it--and it will be what you never wanted.
Thanks for the ping!

"Oh, absolutely, Howie"
Hey, Happy didn’t get canned, did he?
Seems like the background audio snippets are slower now than they used to be
it’s possible, as I mentioned a couple weeks back. Howie did say on air that he, Sandy, and Happy were going out to dinner the next night (kind of a consolation for losing Happy?),
I don’t think Happy has spoken on air, and I have heard him
mention another producer/board-op (can’t remember nickname)
...we don’t hear kidding around anymore with Happy
about the gas station he allegedly works at, etc.
Oh, and note this from today’s page:
>>3rd Hour

That’s right; Happy’s name is absent. It used to always be there.
Happy is gone, the new person is horseshack.
right, Horshack—that’s the name (couldn’t remember)
