Some poor Republicans apparently oppose Obama because they figure they're gonna
get rich one of these days, and they don't want Obama raising taxes on them after they get into that million-a-year club.

I figure the best way to deal with this is to ask them if they think they're gonna hit those astronomical income heights in the next four years, what with the Depression of '09 coming on and all. If they don't think so, then they ought to vote for Obama this time and te-evaluate in 4 years based on how well they're doing.

1. They just don't want to be treated the same way they treat Democrats.
I'd be scared if I were one of them also. There is hell to pay, and the bill is due.

2. My son in law is one of 'em
Borrowed up the wazoo against the equity on his home to buy crap (big ass pickup, motorcycle, ATV) now he's upside down on the mortgage, can't buy gas for the pickup cause his remodeling jobs have gone down the shitter. Our daughter was hoping to retire in ten years when she reaches 55 but it looks like she'll be working until she dies just to pay off the mortgage. He c;aims he'sstill voting for McStain but she isn't talking. I suspect she'll cancel out his vote.
