Ted Nugent: Obama's victory is sad vote for state of dependency

The Waco Tribune-Herald ^ | 11/16/08 | Ted Nugent

[LA Woman3]

Here's a slogan: The result of spreading the wealth around is spreading unemployment around.

More proof that the Founding Fathers made a mistake when they did not define voting as a privilege extended only to those in the military or those who are actual taxpayers.

Baby Sitter in Chief.

I think there was no way they could have forseen the level of dependency we have now.
*sigh*

God Bless you Nuge - in every way possible. Now...when yah runnin’???

Well over half of the people have incomes too long to pay much in the way of federal income taxes. Therefore, they don’t mind seeing taxes raised, as that is a theoretical concept to them. They pay sales, gasoline, and property taxes primarily. People don’t mind taxing their neighbor if they can collect a part of his higher payment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have to be a property owner at that time to vote?

I love this guy. He was talking recently about being an autonomous person. I feel the same way. I dont need the government telling me how to be responsible, and do whatever I need to do, not to hurt others. Ted is too smart to run for a political office, but if he could get a grass roots movement going, I would support him all the way. We should all try to be as independent, and caring for our country as he is.

That is really not a bad idea at all. Wasn't it the intent that only property owners were to be eligible to vote? Regardless, there needs to be some common-sense restrictions we can start by doing away with early voting, same day registration/voting and non-verifiable ID voting.

Absentee ballots to military a must and other absentee (bona fide) ballots okay. It's totally out of hand, fraud is rampant and the election (if truth be known) was stolen as cynical laughter erupts from talking heads on the news (actual occurrance) reporting voter fraud suspicion.

People looked at the economy, gas prices etc and voted against the party that held the executive.

at 47% for McCain, that is not too shabby considering that there are a lot of stupid people out there who dont understand what caused the economy to buckle, namely the Dhimms, fanny, freddy(and fanny/freddy enablers in Jimmah and BJ Clinton, Bawney Fwank, et al) and acorn.

Now if the presidential candidate was not a liberal republican....we may have been able to pull this election out of the coals.

[equaviator]

If Bill Clinton was the first black president, are we now all African-(fill in the blank)-Americans? Thank you too much!

[Fawn]

He makes me itch.

My thoughts exactly, and if not actually running, He could be a terrific campaign spokesman along with Sarah.

[bamahead]

The election of Obama is an example of Americans voting against their own self interest.

The new Obama UNpresidential flag, the “O” seal printed on “Depends”.

Capitalism works in strange and wondrous ways, and has a unique way of severely punishing fools.

Which is precisely why the fools' annointed dear leaders now seek to dismantle it.

I know that this was true in Maryland in the past. It was probably the case in other states too.

My only problem with restricting suffrage to property owners is that there are plenty of high income people who pay a lot of taxes who do not own property.

Maybe Nugent is the right guy to head up the RNC.
