McCain buses schoolkids to rallies, Obama buses voters to polls.
Edge: Obama
The information you posted came straight from the right wing smear and distortion mill.
Here is the truth:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp
The McCain Tax cuts would primarily benefit the rich: $45,000 less in average taxes from current tax bills for those making over $600,000 and a whopping $270,00 less on average for those making over $2.9 Million a year. Just think of all the illegal alien landscaping guys MD could put to work with all that tax relief.
Oh yeah, the McCain plan would add far more to the national deficit than would Obama's.
It is the OTHER plans of Obama's that would add to the budget and those are the ones that bother me - foreign aid to poor countries, the youth corps, carbon tax, etc - not the tax plans.
As has been noted here before - there are plenty of legitimate areas to attack Obama. No need to repeat crap from the smear mill.

What I dissed Mister automatic disagreeist and "No" vote caster, is the cut and paste false information that was demonstrated to be false. I dismiss fiction. You dismiss anyone who fails to agree with an anti-Obama post regardless of how factual their information may be. In doing so, you dismiss your own credibility.
DQ
Factual or not, that bit of mostly opinion does not make the factual Snopes information about Obama versus McCain's taxes incorrect. In fact it is quite correct and can be corroborated by any number of sources. Snopes just happens to have it all together in one place.

If you actually go to those links, as I did months ago when I began receiving the exact same message you posted in emails which included the same links you just posted, you will actually find that the information posted on Snopes is correct.
(You see that is the thing and that is why I jumped on the message. I had gotten it months ago and followed it to the links and found the errors contained throughout the message. It is a common trick in bogus emails to list links that don't really confirm the message. Often, such messages will even say "confirmed by Snopes", but when you go to Snopes you find out just the opposite.)
For example, the message you posted assumes a return to the pre-Bush tax cuts, but Obama's proposed taxes only restore the pre-Bush tax rates on incomes above $250,000 and actually add additional tax cuts to most incomes below it.

So the truth is that unless you make over $227,000 a year (90% do not make that much) you will not see your taxes go up - though those who make much over $150,000 might see a greater reduction in taxes (which still leaves out over 80% of the population).
Meds? I take no meds and have not for decades - how bout you?
And you call others mo-rons? Do you even bother to read the other posts or do you just automatically attack mine? The references I gave were furnished by 58008 and were part of the original bullcrap tax message that has been emailed and posted repeatedly. It was THAT message that furnished those references as proof of the distorted facts it contained. When you go to those references you find that they do not support the message. If you have a problem with the references, take it up with whatever nutcase first made up the bogus message.
DQ
Then you obviously missed the one where 58008 furnished the references you objected to instead of me. My mistake (again) for trying to engage in reasonable dialogue with you.
Back to ignore. Rant and slur away.
