Snopes: Obama/McCain Tax comparison is bogus

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp

Not that I like Obama, though if the game of political charades was real and if I were forced to choose it would not be McCain.

If it were real, one would have to look at how Reagan and the Bushes destroyed the economy and how we had eight straight years of improved standards of living, decreasing crimes, welfare roll reductions (ultimately by 50%), no imperialistic incursions into other countries to make them safe for big oil and Haliburton, no significant losses of personal freedoms and liberty, and decreasing deficits (and ultimately budget surpluses and reduction of the debt for the first time I can remember).

I would certainly have to wonder why it is that the dirty tricks, slander and bogus messages that get slung around the internet seem to always come from one side of the aisle.

I might also consider that when Clinton took office, gas was $1.oo a gallon and when he left eight years later, it was $1.26.  Bush took over at $1.26 and less than eight full years later gas topped $4.00 a gallon.

So, if it were real and I were forced to choose . . .

Since it isn't and I am free to choose, I will likely write in Ron Paul.  Or else vote for Chuck Baldwin.
