You all are talking about businesses using their money as if it's the only way anything gets done within a business, or the only way a business will grow. There are many things that can be done within a business to make them operate leaner and more efficiently, making the most of their investments and cutting costs at the same time. You don't necessarily have to spend more money to make more money, it's all a matter making the most of the resources available to you, and those resources aren't always dollar bills.

Now that the VP debate is over i can rip on Palin again.
The fact that she lived up to the LOW expectations of most of the commentators is just sad. Mainly because the Expectations are so low that pretty much any "Joe 6 pack" could have. The fact that someone shooting for VP didnt smash the low ass expectations proves that this woman should not be there. She seemed like she had studied for a big test and wanted to get every question right. Nothing seemed on the fly, She kept changing the subjects, not answering the questions, and her hunkeedory attitude was annoying at best.
On the other hand, we have Joe Biden. I know i have a biased opinion towards him because ive already made up my mind on who i am voting for. But i thought he did a REALLY good job. He was ready for any turns sarah tried to pull on him. He brought a lot of facts to the table, made a couple nice soundbites and attacks. It really did seem like he was holding back a ton of comments he wanted and could easily have spewed her way, But im sure America wouldnt have reacted so well to him just making a total mockery of her and tearing her apart because people still believe that you shouldnt pick on a girl. I truely feel that Biden would make a great VP.

She did better than I thought, and so did most of the media and political analysists ive heard from. I still cant stand her, she shouldnt be on McCain team.

I dont think Biden tore her apart or really did that much better than her either, and thats what ive read as well.

Sorry Tom, but you saying she sucked and biden ruled, just shows how left straight liberal you are.

You are so narrow minded it makes me sick.

Palin held her own imo.

Biden seems more qualified than barack

I'll agree there, he's been in national politics for 35 years. Obama formed his Presidential exploratory committee after being a senator only 143 days. You can't even manage a McDonald's after 143 days of experience, but he wants to run this country? Fuck that.

If Tom can post up crap poll results from the debate then so can I.

Change the "she's" to "he's" and is sounds like Obama in the first debate!

Brandon, that is a very interesting power point, I had heard some of the parts before, but never the whole story put together.

Quotes from Osama's I mean Obama's books:

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Lets get this straight. Anyone who saw the debate and the analysis should agree.

People thought Palin did what she had to, defend Palin. Biden did what he had to, rip McCain.

There was a completely different objective in this debate. Palin was just trying not to embarrass the party and Biden was trying to better his campaign. This is why some republicans think she did well, lower expectation and she didn't embarrass them (again).

IMO, McCain campaign talked with her before the debate and said, "if you don't know what to say, just say you are thankfull to be running with McCain and his policies and talk about something different."

She avoided giving answers to several questions as she has no idea what is going on in the world.

Peter, how can you vote towards putting her into office??? She is one bullet away from running the country. Do you think she is qualified??? What a mess we would be in.

For those who think Biden would be better, you are voting on the two of them. There is no fundamental difference between Barak and Biden. They have similar beliefs and views on the world. I believe that they are going to work together to fix the mess we are in. It is obvious that McCain and Palin don't see eye to eye on issues and that it will be a campaign run by McCain.

I just can't see how anyone can try and vote Palin into office. Anyone on the senate would be more qualified to run.

id rather have Palin as Vice-Prez then Obama as President.

maybe its just me, but i would still like to be able to afford gas, and entertainment, and maybe college.

Please explain how Obama is going to raise gas, entertainment, and college costs. Seriously, do it. I will even read a source to wikipedia. What makes you think this?

311evo · 10-04-2008

i didnt say he would raise the prices, i said i would like to afford these things. which means if all my money is gone to taxes (and the price of gasoline WILL go up under Obama) i wont have fun spending all of it on parts and helping the economy

im not a big political guy, so im not argueing with you John, i think everyone should vote for whoever they want, so im not looking to change anyones mind.

311evo · 10-04-2008

and even if Obama says he wont, he's lied about the dumbest shit before (like his uncle, who doesnt exist, that liberated auschwitz, which unless he was in the soviet army, never happened. etc.)

So how is he going to pay for universal heathcare and bigger government without raising taxes?

311, I totall agree. I would rather have an rookie as VP vs. a rookie as Pres. Palin should have at least a few years as VP before she would take over.

Raise taxes on the people making over $250k, that is how yo raise the money. I bet there is not one person on here who would be affected by affected by this. Most of you probably don't know that they have been increasing the social security cap over the years which I support. For example in 2006 it was $94000 and in 2008 it is $102,000.

The article above talks about it increasing the tax evasion. This is BS as they have significant penalties they charge for payroll tax evasion. For example, I was working on a local company the other day who payed over $32,XXX in penalties this year. The author doesn't know what he is talking about.

Palin calls herself in the middle class. They released her tax returns and she made over $170,000 in low-cost alaska.

I think a few years in the senate is far more valuable than part of a term as govorner. Atleast obama had to deal with issues affecting the country including internatational issues. Not just abusing power while sitting in as governer.
