" To Get the Facts, in Gen.33:28, Jacob's name is changed to Israel and since Jacob represents USA and Esau represents Russia. You will see why God hated Esau. That is why the USA is this nation's super power. When God scattered Israel you will understand why the USA have mixed cultures and why everyone else depends on the USA. We are the mixed tribes of Israel. We are the Christian nation. That is why the other nations are Communists. "

" To Get the Facts, Jacob and Esau in Gen. 25:23-25, There are two nations waring. Esau means red, as in "red nation" as in Russia. The other nation is USA! There are too other references to the USA. In Revelation, the 4 beasts represent the 4 hidden dynasty of politics, religion, economy, and education. The 7 heads are the seven continents, and the 10 horns are the ten world rulers of Satan's 1-World system (USA, Russia, China, France, United Kindgom, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Iran). Always put God first. Bless You. "

" To, Stick with the Facts, Yes, Bill Clinton was rather full of something, maybe Charisma. Yes, your pun is yet to be determined. Obama will maybe pull a rabbit out of the hat by taxing the wealthier to give to the poor. Seen as a miracle for some. After a while, we will say, "where did all the rich people go?" Then Obama could say,"You are considered wealthy and more taxable under 50,000." He'll find your category. "

" To: Let's Move Forward, Do you just expect us to submit to whatever comes around from the new administration? We can't help it if you did not have the wisdom and insight to vote for people who know right from wrong. It is not a matter of not moving forward. That depends on your definition of "forward." We will voice our opinion because we should in this free country that my forefathers built on a godly foundation. This is what made America great. Visit Europe and you'll see why they are so behind, not forward, being told to submit. "

" Charismatic, Obama maybe, but who had more charisma than Bill Clinton he was as smooth as they come and yet no one called him the anti-christ. Why is that? What miracles has Obama worked? The message was "yes WE can" I'm not trying to defend Obama, just pointing out that your points are not valid. At least not at this point. No pun intended. The bible says "the poor will always be among us." Every government has mixed components some capitalism,socialism asd so on, and the USA is no exception. Ponder that. Take care. "

" Sticking with the Facts, When people see and hear an anti christ, they are seeing someone suave and charismatic, maybe doing miracles taking the glory all for himself not living his life to the glory of the one true God, Jesus Christ. Antichrist sets himself up as god. Did you know the USA is not mentioned in the Bible during Armegeddon? Hopefully many more of us received Jesus and went with Him (rapture) when He comes for us. Armegeddon will happen 7 years after that. This is what many Bible scholars believe. "

" To those assuming that Barack Obama is the antichrist, sleep easy. Antichrist will most likely come as the appearance that most people would have of Christ such as the ones depicted in pictures etc....Most people would not think of Christ as Black or Muslim. Another thing, Antichrist will first appear in Jerusalem as stated in the bible, not in the White House. Quit being pew potatoes on Sunday and read your bible. Some of you will read a romance novel from end to end and have yet to read one book in the Bible as it is written. "

" God loves us too much to leave us in ignorance. He allowed many ungodly leaders throughout the Bible to bring His people to their knees. Our God uses Kings and those in authority, like Pharoah, Ceasar, Pilate, etc. to motivate people to pray and get into position for His will. Some lessons of history are hard learned and if forgotten must be repeated. Oh oh...The Bible says God has the hearts of Kings and rulers in the palm of His hand. Man thinks he is in control but God is sovereign. God also laughs from heaven at calamity man causes. "

" Now that the election is over with the people making that their "final answer", to all whom are upset and feel they've been cheated, there is a solution. You take the ride and change it in four years, keep it a smooth ride by cooperating instead of "figiting" in the seat while crying, "Are we there yet?", or move back to the mother-land or father-land or where ever it is you or your descendants may have come from and try to find Shangri-la there. It's too late to whine and complain. Let's try to make the best of it. Sigh. "

" Kimbro, You read and then don't answer the question. You can't give an answer of heartfelt logic, I suppose. I am not speaking of everyone's tax dollars. Mr. Obama wants to raise only those he considers wealthy to pay for the poorer folk. Can't you understand what I am saying? Do you honestly believe he should take from the wealthy (who got this way by more education, working 2 jobs, etc) and give to the poorer. These people planned their future and need their wealth, one reason is to employ us. Surely you can understand this is wrong! "

" To MikMac Girl, In order for you to discern as to whether a person is godly, you should look at their actions and the issues the person stands for. I would not think Mr. Obama is godly! Didn't you hear? He wants death to little babies in the womb, called abortion. He wants same sex marriage. He wants to tax you more if you make more than another and give it to the poorer one. Is all this godly? There is more too. Just look up what he stands for. He also wants your gun and his own army. "

" Kimbro aka Kim, I am not saying you are all that. If you agree with Obama on this issue of making the wealthier pay more in taxes, you are actually saying "yes" to paying the poorer person more out of the harder working, more educated person's pocket. But, if the shoe fits, wear it. If you are poorer or someone you know, do you think you deserve my wealthier aunt's money? "

We are the United States of America remember. What, you black people think because he is president things are going to look up for y'all and change and take everything away from the white people? Haha wrong. Black people sterotype themselves for what they don't have and who they are not the white people. Grow up people! "

Negatively against those asking for handouts. Some people asking for handouts require handouts and should be screened properly. this doesn't happen. people everywhere take advantage of the system and then someone like a disabled person can't get the help that they need. back to the God issue, regardless of your "research" on the political issues.....tell us Kim.....What does GOD think of this election? i don't see god in yoursight.

" Well, Kim, the $250,000 has been significantly reduced several times.

To all concerned, Obama has no intention of keeping his word to anyone, he can't seem to keep it to himself because everytime he speaks his statements change and the figures change. If he's elected there will be one way to see what I'm saying is true. His actions have already proved to me what he's all about, some of you may need to feel the pain of his actions before you'll believe. "

" Get the Facts, you wrote"According to the constitution, all men are created equal."This is a common mistake. The actual fact is that this line appears in the"Declaration of Independence"written by Thomas Jefferson & edited by John Adams& Benjamin Franklin.The Constitution has no law against making some people pay more than others.The 16th Ammendment states that The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. "

Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 4, 2008 10:57 AM:

" Obamas plan did not state that those making less than $250,000 would pay no taxes it states that their taxes would not go up.Those making more may see their taxes stay the same or go up, but it would still be at a lesser rate than in the 1990's.Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan(thats less than 18.2 percent of GDP). "

Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Nov 4, 2008 10:57 AM:

" Get the facts.Income tax was initiated in 1862 to help support the Civil War effort. In 1913 it became law.The 16th Ammendment to the Constitution made income tax a permanent fixture in the U.S. tax system Some have said that they want a flat tax and that everyone should pay equal amounts.That however is not the way it is.We have what is known as a progressive tax wherein Americans who earn less pay less, those who earn more pay more.I stand by my statement that I see nothing wrong with those who make less pay less.

Being made to give or stealing some people's hard earned money in the form of taxes is against God and should be against the law. Like I said before, "How do you think you deserve the money of a person who went to college, worked harder and longer, maybe 2 jobs?" How do you figure you deserve this person's money? Quit quoting google and let's see some real debating. "

Jeff Fisher, prof. at American U. had similar results from his study from J.F.K. to Reagan with 66% .I think both candidates have good intentions.I hope that whoever wins will make a more concerted effort to get necessary things done.

Sorry Kim, I don't fully agree with you. I just don't think you're getting the true picture of this potential problem, but I won't belittle you because we don't agree. I don't believe that Obama will be true to his words, and I don't believe that Obama has the right plan anyway. I received an e-mail that describes Obama in a vernacular - a post turtle.

My mind is open, & as a very short person have a very thick skin when it comes to teasing.Maybe, an epiphany will come your way and let you see the light.

" Luckily, I have not had dealings with the IRS beyond doing my own taxes.I have always paid them by the due date.I even pay taxes to our state for internet purchases(of that I am pretty certain I am in the minority). IRS Liens and levies don't just come up out of nowhere. They are usually a last resort on the part of the IRS.I wonder who really knows more about the IRS.Joe actually has a lien against him by the State of Ohio, had it been the Federal Gov.he would not have a chance to get any loan to startabusiness.

" Long &short Joe is feeling the pinch of a sick economy like many other hard working Americans. No I do not think $1,182.98 is a lot of money to pay,I was pointing out that he won't have to pay because someone has set up a fund to do so for him.I also did not write that I am fearful of running a business,&that I don't understand.I merely stated that I would not be good at it because I am too soft hearted.

" I have no self esteem issues, and make friends easily. (people like me & I am dependable)I have not made any personal remarks against you.The only thing you have written about me that is true is that I am very well read.Enlightenment on Samuel J Wurzelbacher aka Joe the Plumber.1) He does not own a business. 2)He is not buying a business.His question was hypothetical 3) He works for a plumber,under the umbrella of the plumber's license and makes no were near $250,000.3)He doesn't even have a drivers license because it is suspended.

" Entertained, you don't know me, yet you judge me.I am not a socialist. I do not envy people who have more money than I do. I have many friends/family in higher & lower tax brackets.I am happy for those who are prospering, & I worry when some are not. When I was in college I worked with a lot of people who fell into the working poor class.Those who would rather do without than recieve handouts.I see nothing wrong with those who make less getting taxed less.

" Why should I be giving up anything? Obama's tax plan does not mean I will not be paying any taxes, just less .According to the US Census bureau for the year 2007 there are only 4,257,000 households that make over $250,000, whereas there are 74,212,000 households that make under $250,000.Spread the wealth means that there will be more dollars in the pockets of the majority of American people, who in turn will spend more money,thus stimulating the economy. The rich will still be spending money because they will still have it.How exactly is that socialism? "

" No matter how you slice & dice it more money stimulating the economy is better for everyone including small business owners.Bad economy doesn't seem to harm big business.They're not doing great but seem to have enough to give ridiculously large bonus money to their CEO's. Especially those in banking. Personally I would rather it go to the little guy's, and by that I mean the small business people.Seems to me the fear of socialism is blinding people.Its not just a democratic party thing because it really is already happening via bailouts pursued by republicans & voted through byboth.

" To Kim:" Wrong about Joe? What, to you $1,100 is alot. Small minds comprehend small things . You need to talk with a CPA and get your facts. Anyone that makes $250 thousand a year pay way more than 11 hundred in taxes in just one week. So what if that's more than you can fanthom. Does not make it wrong. He owes and he'll pay.You admit and are intimadeted ,& don't understand the bussiness side of the world, or the IRS, whom take their time to collect. If you'd have had dealings with the IRS you'd know. "

You judge people ( eariler you claimed everyone was doing it , but you wouldn't) from your low self esteam level. You read alot but live a sheltered life. It's easy to see why succesful people aren't in your circle of friends . You feel like you're better than them just because of economics. I work with and know people on this level and they are as caring , kind and generous as they come. You're raciest against successful people. Sad,just sad. "

" You are wrong about Joe.When Joe the Plummer(real name Samuel J Wurzelbacher) asked his question, and the candidates made him a household name the media delved into his personal life (which was wrong)and discovered Ohio state has a tax lien against him in the amount of $1,182.98 since Jan. 26, 2007, that is still active.People are now donating money so he can pay off his taxes,Socialism?

" My ruthless comment is based on the fact that I would be a horrible business person. People would want the day(s) off,I need a raise, advance me money, more benefits etc. I wouldn't have the heart to say no, productivity wouldn't be there along with the money comming in .(I know my limitations.)I would end up in the poor house quickly.My comment came from knowing myself.Rich people that get rich from business are usually able to detach themselves from emotions. I don't think they are evil, but most will do what they have to, to stay rich. "

Entertained wrote on Oct 26, 2008 7:32 AM:

" To Kim: Since when does one have to be ruthless to get rich? From personal experience , as for paying taxes ,"Joe the plumber doesn't owe even one weeks taxes, based on that amount. Throughout all your replies you won't state your willingness to give up anything , but you back a socialist plan. Your not willing to give up anything ,but just cause someone applied himself & works hard enough to make a little more than you, you feel that person should give your share too. Selfish and hypicritical. Typical Obama Socialist tactical way of thinking. "

" The previous administration has through its foreign policy placed a wedge in America to keep us divided instead of bringing us together.It has been the most secretive administrations in history &has pursued policies that have been disastrous for the American people. Obama strongly believes that our foreign policy is stronger when Americans are united,and the government is open and candid with the American people.
Obama will reverse President Bush's policy of secrecy. He will institute a National Declassification Center to make declassification secure but routine, efficient, and cost-effective. Bringing America together after presidential races is historically the norm. "

" The latest number of states in actual recession is 27.There are 14 (our state)near recession. I'm not against his plan as my family does not make over $250,000.Unlike Joe the plumber I have always paid my taxes on time thank you.
How to get rich,.I suppose it won't happen because I am not ruthless enough to step on people to get there.No matter because middle class suits me fine.I've been there since birth.To live comfortable,well thats easy. Aquire a good education & use it,save your money(a penny saved penny earned )& have a good work ethic. "

Kimbro aka Kim wrote on Oct 25, 2008 7:17 PM:

" Exactly where does Obamas plan require me to rent a room?As a responsible parent,that won't be happening and does not make me a hypocrite.Charity begins at home,and due to reccuring hurricaine seasons,renting is not an option.(need space for extended family) Also due to a budget(which I am excellent at adhering to)I can not rent/loan the car as it will raise my rates & throw my budget off. I do my part by living within my means. All joking aside things in real life for Louisiana is not looking good.We are a state now listed at risk for being in recession. "
