John McCain Concerned About "Negative" Tone in GOP Race. What concerns me is why anyone would care what John McCain would have to say.

I am slow on the uptake but I finally got it. I am arguing with a fool!

God forbid that Tea Party people (okay, I confess that I am one too) promote Family Values. As penetrex says that we are far better with the liberal alternative. We should promote illigitimate teen parents, unwed mothers with no bread winners to support the wives and children (step in Fed to fill this role), promiscuous sex with no culpable partners. The country would be a much better place with all this "marriage crap". So, you hypocritical Tea Party People should just stop this Nuclear Family crap and let us "non-hypocritcal" liberals decide what is right for this country. Ignore those statistics about single family mothers, children living in poverty, etc., etc.

I am a dyed in the wool conservative and I do not understand this purported conservative's responses. But let me answer for myself. I do find "progressive" income tax immoral. I think any self respecting low income earner would be loathe the realize they pay no income taxes, yet their vote is just as relevant as the 35% Federal Income Tax payer. If I was a low income earner, I would DEMAND that I be treated equally and pay 35% of my income to the Federal government. How dare anyone believe that I would not be willing to pay my fair share.

Note to Conservatives: I am a Conservative and I am darn mad that I did not get this memo. I thought we wanted to follow the Constitution that permits students to pray in school. Who do I write to, to make sure I do not miss these important memos?

I believe the word "racist" is every bit as vile as the "N" word. The intent of by user is to diminish the human value of anyone who disagrees. When accused of being racist, it is no different than referring to blacks as n.....s. The purpose of its use, and the result is the same. Let's make the word "racist" the "R" word. Anytime someone calls you the "R" word, you have every right to take extreme outrage and offense by that statement.

We are to blame. We abdicated the education of our children to the "useful idiots". These protesters are the fruit. These kids have no clue as to how the real world works. We are to blame for not objecting the American Library Association’s agenda, the influence of the UN's influence with the “International Baccalaureate” program in the US, etc., etc. ad naseum. We have been told about these things for years, and we did nothing. We are reaping the seeds that we have sown. My wife spoke to thousands of people over the years, and our audiences cared not. She is an American by birth, but was raised in Brazil. She saw the danger, and acted as best she could. We spoke to thousands and heard nothing but crickets. We earned this.

oracle1: Congratulations... You have defined the modern day Final Solution!

Correct!

Part II (didn't realize there was a limit on size of the post). You may, at a later point in time, choose to retire and draw your Social Security and Medicare benefits. How many people would be dissuaded from signing up for Social Security and Medicare benefits?
