Well the facts are there,plain and simple (like your distorted view of America)Obama has never shown to be on the side of gun owners and has in fact many times voted against us and been the director of a antigun orginzation.
Tell me when has OBAMA EVER VOTED FOR GUN OWNERS???
Obama by his own words wants to "spread the wealth" and is dissapointed that the Supreme court did not address it.
The blame for the current financial turmoil rest clearly on the dems, Clinton,Carter (The CRA) and those that gained from the fannie/freddie fallout (Obama is second in line for reciving donations for helping hide the Acorn led raid on banks forcing them to loan to renters)
Your views on our gun laws, from a country that does not have the second ammendment have no meaning for those of us who enjoy the freedoms of America.
You claim to have worked on Wall street yet forget the fact those in the towers perhaps some that you worked with died in a act of terrorism that you have not experienced.You should be ashamed Kerryman!
What a load of old bladderskite!
Contrary to what you suggest, I am pro America, and when working there have given my time (unpaid) to Eximbank, to both Republican & Democrat officials (e.g. Christie Whitman when Gov. of NJ and Richard Daley when he was SS for Commerce) and to dozens of trade associations, Chambers of Commerce and colleges around the US. Your post is an ill-informed diatribe of petty and quite ignorant crap. Far from being ashamed as you suggest, I am sorry that I am debating with someone who believes the bigoted shite that is being posted about a Democratic candidate
Firstly, in early 2001 I moved office from 40 Wall to 2 WTC and fortunately for me I was not there on the fateful morning of 9/11 when I lost several friends. I have made my views on that event and the subsequent lies, stupidity and ill-informed antics of the Bush admin. known on this BB and in a subsequent debate here on the current Iraqi war & “plausible denial” with Larry Brown (for whom I have respect because he is well-informed and does his spook job very well!)
Secondly, to blame the Dems for the position the US economy finds itself is grossly stupid. You have had 8 years of economic mismanagement under Bush. His laissez-faire policies allowed the US economy dig itself deeper into the hole and, what is worse, allowed the scum of the markets to do what they did best – line their own pockets. In simple terms – because your earlier posts show you might not understand a more detailed explanation - Bush allowed the USA to borrow huge amounts primarily from China to permit the US to buy billions of dollars of goods from China, thereby allowing the Chinese to become a superpower. That has to stop, because most people do not want China to be more powerful than it is now. That means that US population has to get real, smell the coffee and realise that gun ownership is at this stage a minor issue. It also means taxation has to increase and I do not see why the wealthiest (and I underline wealthiest) in the US begin to pay their share. For example, although it could be unpatriotic for me to say it, the Irish government’s tax laws allow US companies registered here to wash their international profits through the Irish subsidiary thereby making a huge saving in tax to the detriment of lost BILLIONS to IRS tax revenue. Obama has said he is going to stop that, which will mean the loss of thousands of jobs here. Bad for Ireland but great for the US.
Thirdly, your comments prove a point I have been making for years – the biggest problem the US is facing is ignorance, based on a deplorable school educatipon system. Your posts and those of your ilk are further proof that intellectual laziness, pre-formed and unresearched comment still prevail.
Finally, as for Ireland not having a “Second Amendment “ I see no need for one – I have a pair of 12gs, a 20g and a deer rifle. I see no need for a Kalashnikov or a Glock; I’ve had to live through what the lunatics here were doing with them (most of which, BTW, came frm the US or were bought with US funds!) If I wanted a pistol I could easily obtain one, the only requirements being that I get police approval and store it in a safe.
Go read some books written by those without a bigotted agenda and educate yourself; regrettably it is too late to do so before you vote.
K.
