The republicans are loyal only to those with the deepest pockets, PERIOD. Obama took contributions from private citizens and regular people who were giving to his campaign as little as $20. That's where most of his campaign money came from and what pushed him over the top. But the republicans get most of their contributions from corporations and individual billionairs who are basically buying favorable legislation. I'm not saying some democrats don't do that...of course they do. But not as much, nor as blatently as republicans do. The mafia's motto is "screw you , pay me!" the republican motto is "pay me to screw them". Which is worse?

Rove and his group bend the law again, if they do not obey the laws of their non disclosure contributions, they have to spend a certain amount of funds for what ACGPS was started for, I believe its for education? Wait till TAX time when this group HAS TO disclose what they spent their money on, HA HA i'll bet it was not on education.

Anyone who makes less than $ 250 K per year and votes Republican is a fool, plain and simple.

You put the ceiling too low. The tax cut is for everyone's first $250K. If I made $300K, the higher rates would only apply to the $50K above $250K. As a patriot, I could tolerate a little increase in taxes versus watching my country crash around me. Sadly, people well below the $250K level are going to vote Republican. If the Republicans get back in, they finish the job on they started. Of course, they'll blame the DEMS for the results.

Republicans have always played a vicious double game, while republican owned corporations were getting most of the bailouts and stimulus funds, which was given to bring the unemployed into the workforce, republicans instead gave these taxpayer funds to their cronies and top executives as bonuses. Shame, shame. The same corporations want to extend the Bush tax cuts, which have not worked to bring unemployment down, in the last 10 years why will they work now??.

Google up the Bilderberg Group for some interesting reading. You will be surprised just who belongs to the New World Order group.The Bilderberg Group is an annual, unoffical, invitation only conference of around 130 people, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and media. These conferences are Closed to the public. Note the pic of Ben Bernake leaving the 2008 Bilderberg Conference in a limo. Also a member is Timothy Geithner, who would have thunk it..now I wonder if Bill Clinton belongs to this very select group of people who are running our world.

Karl Rove is our modern day Nazi...he follows in the footsteps of his grandfather who I read was a German Nazi during Hitler's time and ran a German concentration camp. It has been awhile since I read this but I would like to read some other comments about Karl Rove and what was the correst spelling of his grandfather's name in German. I don't know why Karl Rove is such a hateful person but I truly find him a very dangerous person to America. If Rupert Murdoch didn't run Fox network, Rove and some of the other goofy people wouldn't be on Fox TV. I don't watch Fox TV anymore because it is so biased. Newspapers and TV company never used to take sides but now the press is owned by people having their own agenda and buying newspapers, TV stations, radio stations just to promote it. We don't have freedom of the press anymore, it communication employees don't write what the owner wants them to write, even if it's not true, they loose their jobs. Does Karl Rove belong to the Buildaberg(sp) Group? You know, that group of people who meet every so often to decide our fate. Jesse Ventura did some investigating about this group awhile back and I found it very interesting. Think I will google it up again just to refresh my memory.

"We don't have freedom of the press anymore" You clearly have no idea what this term means. The fact that you are posting a personal opinion on a public message board is sufficient evidence that we have greater freedom of the press than at any point in history.

If we have one party that has raised 8 times as much as another party from special interests, shouldn't that raise a red flag? Are Republicans really going to look after the interests of the people when they get elected, or are they going to pay back the special interests who propped up their campaigns? I think we know the answer to this question. Rove is a fat pig of a traitor and most Republicans have likewise sold out the American people to the highest bidder. If you vote for these snakes, you'll be getting what you deserve--four more years of special interests getting richer, and the rest of us getting crumbs. Rove is the perfect poster boy for the Republican party--a condescending, fat, white waste of a life.

Obama has not disclosed where he got 400 million for his campaign. I guess now it is more important than it was 20 months ago?What a Hypocrite.

AND after America sees the motley crew installed by the Repubs this year and their performance, the White House will return the thanks in 2012.

LOOP HOLES by the dozens thats what the republican party seeks and your cash to lie and steal your kids future. Its not the future taxes it is your future life all guided by the little fat kid that playd puppet master to george W bush its time you saw Rove for the manipulator he is he makes lobbists look tame. Too bad hes not selling stock with the wall street hucksers hed sell you penny stock for dollars and clear the difference time and time again. If you were in Vegas and Carl was the dealer You better thank slow motion vidio producers for the ablity to see his bottom of the deck deals. The classic ploy that Rove and his buddies at the Chamber of Commerce dont advertize for candidates but do write ads and pay for them that hint at properties that are less than accurate statements over people for election missdirecting the truth to a shade of grey so dark compared that to midnight black in an unlit cave looks Light This is just a mild part of the Republican Revolution they want to keep the rich richer and the middle class as pawns till they barely subsist keeping the True American dream for those that are already there leaving those that are trying to succeede in the dust.
