My mom has actually worked for American Airlines as a flight attendant for 37 years so Ive flown ridiculous amounts. One of the newer things bothering me is the people who dont take their laptops out of the bags when they go through the line or the people without their ids out. As far as on the plain. I stopped using my laptop to watch dvds so for the most part I play games on my cell phone or read. Wifi is in the works on airplanes though so I am very excited for that. I cant imagine anything would make a flight easier than being able to go online.

I agree, the other post doesn't fit in to this thread, but at this point can't you at least give us the dignity of not pretending like the Ayers stuff isn't just insanity? Like you said, his post didnt fit in here. Obama fan boys can never take anything without freaking out. I agree the Ayers stuff is over blown for sure, but he is the one who brought up a point that included Ayers and then called republicans scumbags. I was pointing out the irony.

Ya, those scum bags. They should be great humanitarians like Bill Ayers.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Yah, member of Obama's family... They're about as close as Dick Cheney and Barack Obama. In the meantime here's what other Republicans have been doing. Quality human beings these types. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5063279.ece The Republican party desperately needs some time in the wilderness. She was worthy enough of being talked about in his book. I guess it shouldnt matter that much though, he said she should get tossed...I guess I agree with him on something. I like his brothers keeper comments even more now. If I was living in Boston I would be pretty pissed about my tax dollars paying for that p.o.s. to have assisted housing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) I'm sure Obama and McCain both know every single name on their donation list. It was $265. It will be returned. He wrote about meeting her in 1971. 37 years ago. He was 10. Considering he never saw his father again, he may never have seen her. But don't let facts and common sense get in the way for some last ditched effort BS. Also your thread title says family members, who are the additional people? The s was a typo I couldnt change because it was a thread title, but Im getting the responses I expected. Im sure if it was McCains family it would be a huge deal. I know its not as big as a private jewish groups opinion on Obama but that seemed to really ruffle some feathers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) Well, I would like to add to this discussion that I expect everyone who was outraged over the fact that state workers in Ohio illegally accessed information about my Halloween Costume and his tax issues will be equally outraged over the fact that this information was illegally leaked from the Immigration and Customs department. Seriously...this country's laws regarding personal information need a gigantic overhaul. They're just a disaster when these things keep happening over and over. About what I expected, a family member of Obamas is here illegally, violates election rules and is living in government assisted housing and whoever leaked the info was at fault.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) I really hope you're not serious. I didnt think green was needed for that. I do however think this is a big deal and I dont believe Obamas response to it for one second.

If he cant keep his own illegal immigrant family members out of the country how can we trust him with Mexicans.

So, Obamas aunt has been living illegally here for 5 years in government assisted public housing. She has also donated money to his campaign, and for those who dont know, arent allowed to accept donations from non citizens. Obama wrote about her in his book and now claims he had no idea this was going on.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 12:39 AM) Middle Class started at below 250k, then 200k, then Biden said its 150k, and now Richardson says its 120k. The number keeps falling. And it keeps dropping. Democrats wont think its a problem until it hits their income level, which it will.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) That's a funny video,lol...we need to laugh a little because this election is getting real ugly with the effigys and with Hannity,Rushbo et al trying to scare people with this nonsense that Obama is a foreign terrorist...Obama/Biden 08 You got a link for this news flash?

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 12:46 PM) Is it just me, or is the Libertarian party basically what the Republican party used to be? Unfortunately it appears that way. I like what the libertarian party stands for.

Every single kid that came to my condo trick or treating dressed up like a democrat, they all wanted me to give them free stuff.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 30, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) McCain won. They didnt announce a vote count. Not surprising for a Lutheran school. Gives me some hope for the future.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) Even Fox News knows McCain cant win as a republican... Photoshop

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) lol i didn't condemn john mccain. and i didn't say his campaign was sending them out. of course they're not. and yes, I WOULD condemn Obama cuz as everyone here knows I'm not his no. 1 fan. I think he's got a lot of problems and he's exactly the same as every other politician who's ever run for office. I just don't want that Palin character anywhere near the White House. SOrry then, I prematurely called you a hypcrite when you were trying to say someone else would be hypocritical if the shoe were on the other foot. I guess we were basically saying the same thing.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 05:17 PM) i bet you wouldn't think so if it were Obama's campaign sending out racially charged flyers and losing his home state... Pretty ballsy to assume that his campaign is actually sending those out. If theyre even real, they might just be some idiot. I love the assumptions though, Im sure if the shoe was on the other foot you would condemn Obama immediately like you are McCain, stay classy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) Making rich people pay 4% more in income tax is not much of an injustice. But that's strictly my opinion. Why isnt it? Theyre paying the same percent of taxes as everyone and now all of a sudden they have to pay more, how is that not an injustice? Just because they have more money doesnt mean they HAVE to be forced to pay even more of the load than they already do. They earned the money, they should be taxed the same as everyone else. It is punishing them for being successful. I know some people hate that choice of words but taking money from people is the most basic way of punishing them and thats whats going on here. It doesnt matter how bad they need it or what theyre going to spend it on, its theirs. What if someone told you that since you pay all your bills and still have a little left that theyre going to take the extra and use it how they see fit. Now, just because its on a smaller scale doesnt change anything, its taking more money from people that earned it because they "dont need" it because theyre "rich"

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) I must be the only one on this site that makes less than $250K. It's amazing how much outrage there is here. So you dont care about injustices unless they affect you? A lot can be interpreted from your comment. Apparently you dont care because for the time being the increase wont affect you, but with Obamas proposed spending increases it will catch up with everyone and maybe than you will care.

Good read CC. Unfortunately so many people wont read between the lines and see what kind of agenda Obama has no matter what. This has nothing to do with his race, religion, hell even party, it should scare people to think what this guy might do if he becomes president. There are so many issues about his character, whether it be his association with several radicals of varying levels or his past comments about the country and racism that should really make people scratch their heads. I hear people who only get their political news from CNN or MSNBC barking about everyone getting tax cuts if they make under $250k but theres never a mention of his 1 trillion dollar increase in spending. Where is that gonna come from? Do people really think the numbers on his budget will add up? He is going to raise everyones taxes on one thing or another and to be honest, why should people who make over 250k have to pay even more now? The wealthy already pay the lions share of taxes and now they should have to be punished for being successful? Its socialism anyway you slice it and people might not worry about it now because most of us dont make that kind of money Im assuming but just wait until this kind of stuff starts to trickle down and it does effect you, which will happen.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) "Everyone take a step back and remember Illinois, and Chicago, are run by Democrats. That means it's perfect. Done and done. " Everybody knows that, however 90% of people wont acknowledge the significance that has in the current election. They seem to think that Obama got his feet wet in Chicago politics without corruption.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 22, 2008 -> 08:37 AM) Hamas endorsed Obama... now Al-Qaida endorses McCain gmafb

QUOTE (sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) I watched that with my brother in the theater. We drove separately and both cried like kids on the way home. good times. Thats funny. I saw it on an airplane coming home from Vegas, i had a friend with me and immediately after we looked at each other and thought, theres two hours of our lives we will never get back. Seriously, nobody...My Girl? Thomas J cant see without his glasses

Do I have to answer this

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Oct 20, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) One of my good friends is from Pittsburgh, and his mother was in town last week. She told me that many of the old ladies she knows (she called them steel widows), who have voted Democratic all their life, can't bring themselves to vote for a Black man. She said they'll probably stay home. Most of Pittsburgh (which is in western Penn) is like this. How was Murtha wrong? Well I guess if your friends mom says the whole area is racist they are.
