Obama and McCain Tax Proposals
According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 - a difference of nearly $1 million.

To those of you who are in the top 0.1% of the income scale, I feel your pain.
As to the other b.s.:
"Served in the U.S. Armed Forces" - why, that's funny, I seem to recall the last election, where the guy who served in the military in Vietnam lost to the guy who was spent the war years getting drunk while pretending to be in the Texas Air National Guard. Seems like the guy who served in Vietnam was made fun of a lot, for some reason.
"Will institute a socialized national health care plan" - about damned time. McCain, on the other hand, will leave health care to the free market. You know, the same free market that we're bailing out to the tune of 1 trillion dollars right now.
"Would pull troops out of Iraq immediately" - yes, please.
And, no, Obama does not support gay marriage (he supports domestic unions - I wish he did support gay marriage, but the Dems are wussies when it comes to stuff like that), and he does support gun ownership rights. Sen. Webb of Virginia certainly thinks so:

Everything else on your list is too stupid to even go to the effort to refute. You're going to lose this election, and lose big. Too bad, so sad. And what is it about gay marriage that frightens you, anyway? Are you afraid you're going to start having feelings for members of the same sex just because gay people get to have the ame rights and privlileges as heteros? Maybe it's a latency problem. And gays have been getting married for a while now - in Massachusetts, California, Canada, and a few European countries, and somehow, the institution of marriage hasn't been destroyed yet.
