McCain and Palin together: taxes taxes taxes
Still riding on that phony plumber, traipsing around in her designer duds. How the hell can these people relate to her?

McCain, Palin Rip Obama Over Taxes in NH, Ohio
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 7:32 p.m. ET

GREEN, Ohio (AP) -- John McCain struck an anti-tax chord Wednesday in the state that launched him toward the Republican presidential nomination and in the home state of the plumber he hopes will help him reach the White House.

During rallies in New Hampshire and Ohio, the Arizona senator said Democrat Barack Obama favors taxes that will hurt the middle class and small businesses -- despite Obama pledging to cut them for 95 percent of taxpayers.

''Sarah Palin and I will not raise your taxes, my friends. We want you to get wealthy,'' McCain told 10,000 people gathered in a football stadium near Akron, Ohio. The scene had a festive air, with those sitting in the grandstands behind the candidate dressed in T-shirts that composed the red, white and blue Ohio state flag.

Palin, holding her first joint event with McCain since Oct. 13, derided Obama as ''Barack the Wealth Spreader'' and said: ''You have to really listen to our opponent's words, because he's hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money.''

McCain and Palin have accused Obama of fostering socialistic tax policies since Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher questioned the Democrat two weeks ago. Both now routinely invoke ''Joe the Plumber'' as part of their closing argument.

1. The Muslims at work always crack up
when I go off about this country's Christian Radical problem (I work at a hospital). They understand well.

3. Sorry, I thought I was replying to this thread...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4290018

My internet connection's running slow tonight, and I've clicked back the back button and refreshed a lot of pages to hasten the downloads. Clearly I clicked on this thread - which immediately precedes the one I meant to - by accident.

So, uh, while I wasn't 'implying' anything, I understand how nonsensical the response would seem.
