Renters Love Obama
Turns out that Obama escape clause in condo contracts might not be necessary, since the percentage of renters is going up (to 32.2 percent from 30.9 percent according to an Apartments.com survey).

Turns out that Obama escape clause in condo contracts might not be necessary, since the percentage of renters is going up (to 32.2 percent from 30.9 percent according to an Apartments.com survey). And renters, it seems, are planning to make Obama their president. “One week away from casting their ballots, renters surveyed revealed that nearly 60 percent are backing Barack Obama for president and the top issue on their minds is the national economy,” reads a press release that landed in our inbox. “John McCain received 23 percent of renters’ votes followed by 9 percent who preferred not to answer the question and 6 percent who are undecided.”

And besides, I didn’t begin by trying to make this into a debate between you and me on the issues: there are many things we disagree on and that wasn’t the point. I called you on your claim that “McCain is one of the most independent senators in congress. He clearly has a record of bucking his party”: a claim that you still have yet to justify. Keep avoiding the issue; it’s like watching Palin debating.
IronBalls, I do lean towards socialism, so at least you got one thing right. I’ve said before I support higher taxes and universal health care and other initiatives that mirror the Canadian paradigm. I don’t claim Obama’s the be all and end all, but he’s a strong step in the right direction.
1) Timetables are an idiotic way to win a war (aka timetable = defeat)
2) I’m for low taxes for everybody, rich and poor alike . . .
3) Obama’s health care proposal is simply another tax on businesses that will cost millions of jobs if its implemented. He still hasn’t even specified how much of a tax he plans to charge (see-through gutter campaign trick).
I’m a Democrat, and I agree strongly with all three issues.
You’re leaning towards socialism, dude.
Since you can’t defend your position IronBalls, I’ll give you not one, but three similar significant positions McCain and Bush share.
* On Iraq, both McCain and Bush resist timetables for withdrawal and say troops need to stay as long as necessary. It’s possible the cost could reach $1-trillion over the next 10 years, but that estimate also includes troops in Afghanistan.
* On tax cuts for millionaires, both Bush and McCain want to keep in place tax rates set to expire that have reduced the tax burden for millionaires. Also, both men are millionaires.
* On universal health care, neither Bush nor McCain favor any kind of health care system that would require people to participate and cover everyone.
I’m done. At least one of us answered the other’s question.
IronBalls, I’ve cited more than I should have even bothered for you, actually giving you a link to every one of McCain’s votes. But using Palin logic, you’re answering me with an attack rather than a logical argument back.
I’m thinking for the both of us since you’re still avoiding justifying your statement that “McCain is one of the most independent senators in congress. He clearly has a record of bucking his party”. Can you think for yourself as I ask you again how you can make that claim when INDEPENDENT sources like the ones I’ve provided prove you are clearly wrong?
Biff,
You can’t even name one vote McCain and Bush both voted for, other than Iraq, which everybody voted for, that was a bad vote.
I don’t want to read more Obama campaign bs.
If you want to prove your point, you’re going to have to cite specific examples. As I said before, parroting Obama campaign slogans doesn’t make the lies true.
You don’t realize you’re not thinking for yourself.
IronBalls, here is McCain’s voting record. I would isolate and name the differences I have with him, but since that would cover almost every one of his positions, it would be redundant. As for which of his votes are the same as Bush’s: as discussed, every one in 2008 was and 95% in 2007 were. And he’s voted in line with his party 90 percent of the time. Some maverick!

What?? How is it campaign rhetoric when it’s coming from the Congressional Quarterly’s Voting Studies? IronBalls, your level of denial is frightening. Talk about ignoring the truth and spreading lies.
Biff,
What specific votes are you referring to?
Please be specific and stop parroting Obama’s campaign rhetoric like a zombie.
