		<description>Dammit Robert, stop using FACT and LOGIC. Libtards don;t get that. 

By the way, I called my local voter group about a car parked about 10 feet outside out Tuesday polling place. COVERED in Obama stickers and assorted Leftard paraphernalia. The inside even has signs in it. 

BS. It&#039;s still there Tuesday I&#039;m going to make it onto the 10 o&#039;clock news.</description>

		<description>-------------WORSE STILL---------------------------------------------


Lyndon Baines Johnson36th. President, Democrat
Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969

Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent&#039;Trust Fund&#039; and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could squander it?

Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969) and the Democrata-controlled House and Senate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

Answer: The Democrat Party.

------------------------------------------

William Jefferson Clinton
(Bill Clinton)
42nd. President
Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
45th. Vice President

Democrat Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001
Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

Answer: The Democrat Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the &#039;tie-breaking&#039; deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.

------------------THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL&#039;S BACK !!-------------------------------------------------

James Earl Carter, Jr
39th. President,Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981
Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments toimmigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:
Answer: That&#039;s right! James Earl Carter, Jr. (Democrat, Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981) and the Democrat Party.

Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democrat Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that theRepublicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will Evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully Sure of what isn&#039;t so.

But it&#039;s worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Who was the great statesman that warned America about Big Government, the trademark of Democrats for the last 80 years?

Answer: Thomas Jefferson

3rd. President, Democrat
Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” Thomas Jefferson

He must be turning in his grave at the abomination that the great Democrat Party of yore has become in the hands of “progressive Democrats”.

Think of all of the above . . . and the following . . . before you vote next Tuesday, November 4
McCain or Obama?

		<description>I had 2 copy &amp; paste this so that I could share information:
I sent this info 2 every single person I knew b/c there were a few things that reminded me of some history that I had forgotten!
Read on &amp; send out:


November 1, 2008


As of 9/30/2008 the US Congress has run up a debt – funded and unfunded – of $55 trillion. Most of this debt is “entitlement debt” – Social Security and Medicare. When our entire Federal budget is only $3 trillion you understand why the kids know Social Security and Medicare won’t be there when they retire. Big government Democrats have put America in this financial bind – see below. The election of Barack Obama and a Democrat Congress will make this problem ten times worse.

It is important that you send this message to everyone you know or America will transform into a country where individual liberty is replaced by decisions made by largely ignorant bureaucrats who have no capability to make decisions 300 million people can make on their own.

(**SCROLL ALL WAY DOWN BEFORE CLICKING ON RISE UP AMERICA. I LEARNED A FEW THINGS MYSELF. **FROM ROXANNE)


If you want to know what to DEMAND from your elected officials in Washington (President and U.S. Senators and U.S. House Representatives) to solve the Ponzi Scheme called Social Security go to www.RiseUpAmerica.us .

And if you want to know who did the wrecking, go through the following: Send this out to independents &amp; friends.

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt
32nd. President, Democrat
Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945

Creator of the New Deal, inspired by what he and his advisers, such asStalinist agent, Harry Hopkins, admired in the Stalinist Soviet Union

The creator of what -- as part of the New Deal -- eventually became the grossly inadequate “pension” program that Social Security is now.

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), aDemocrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent &#039;Trust Fund&#039; rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Tolerable, up to here!

But

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check for a paltry amount every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to &#039;Put Away&#039; -- you may be interested in the following:

----------THEN---------------------------------------------------


Dwight David Eisenhower
34th. President,Republican,
Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961


If I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If I recall correctly, it was a Democrat-controlled Congress.

From what I understand, Congress’s “logic” at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.</description>

		<description>Here is the sad and, at the same time, the SICK thing about the DEM/MSM with regard to Barack Hussein Obama:

The media did MORE investigation into and were more interested in the background of Joe the Plumber -- in a mere 24-hour period -- than they&#039;ve EVER done in the past 26 months involving Obama.

I have never, EVER seen the media become such complete and obvious Village Idiots and Lapdogs for a political ideology in my damned-near 60 years on the planet.  The DEM/MSM have NO problem with being the Palace Eunuchs and suckers of cock in the Harem of Obama.
