Comments on: 2008 Presidential Candidate Comparison Talking Points http://david.marcucci.org/archives/100 My personal thoughts, rants, raves, and more...

But I recommend you do if you use it. Personally, I did a quick check from memory and it all looked right to me. (Maybe B.O. isn't bumping taxes to 28% on home sales, maybe only 20%, it's still the wrong direction.) The fact is Obama is soft on Crime (including terrorists and illegal immigrants) and wants to implement a boat load of programs we (the US) can afford. So that means I'll be less safe and paying more for it. I won't even have money left over to buy a gun to protect myself, that is if we're allowed to own guns under a B.O. administration. (The Constitution is overrated, right? No!) Anyway, I respect your opinions and I agree everyone should check up on facts but good luck finding a non-partisan source, there is no such thing. Thanks for the comment and remember, I'll never censor here so feel free to reply. (Some exceptions for lewd, threatening, and/ or illegal content. Oh, and posts with links to Viagra sites.)

Voters would do well to take out pencil and paper and go down his fake list but as checked against the non-partisan: http://www.factcheck.org/ or - http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp or - http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/aug/04/return-tax-attack-chain-e-mail/ Vote for whom you will but it is awful dumb to go on the basis of a email chain-letter. Psst. The creators of this phony list are probably laughing. They were so brazen they actually dared you to click on CNN, WashPost, AARP at the bottom to verify their lies - knowing full well that you'd fall for their hoax - and you WOULD NOT BOTHER TO REALLY CHECK. What - do they think we're stupid?
