Oh, it isn’t a lie. They just neglected to mention the “if you pull in over a quarter-mil a year” part. A mere oversight.

That said, I can destroy your puny world last since you’re already doing so well on your own.

–Destroying all of reality for the greater good of the Dalek race, etc. etc.

Well, no shit. Everybody knows that the billionaires don’t use public roads and harbors and airports to move themselves and their goods around like us plebes. And they never avail themselves of the publicly financed judicial system. And their sprawling estates and business holdings are protected by private security so why should they have to help fund the cops or the army at all? It’s so obvious that there should be a 0% tax on rich people and a 100% tax on the rest of us leeches.

Rove’s job here is the same as it was in 2000 and 2004: keep the election close enough to steal.

He’s not supposed to attract voters: he’s supposed to repel the other guy’s voters.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin, senior economic adviser to McCain, noted that the report does not take into account the spending reforms – such as eliminating earmarks – that are central to McCain’s strategy to support tax relief and help reduce the deficit.

Huh?

If the media admits to the facts at all, expect it to be framed as a class warfare issue, a la O’Reilly whining to Obama during his interview about income redistribution, which is *gasp* SOCIALISM. Cue menacing tune.

You know what else is income redistribution? Going to the fucking grocery store. Getting a paycheck. Paying the bills. The whole point of money is to redistribute the stuff.

Also, it’s sure funny that O’Reilly has no problem with income redistribution when it’s the top 1% carving out an ever bigger chunk of the pie, as they have been for many years now, but if you dare give a tax cut to the vast majority of the country without giving the super-rich an even bigger one? You’re an evil commie who just likes watching millionaires suffer.

Now, I’ll cop to that, but I’m pretty sure Obama is a little more magnanimous.

what I don’t get is that he could afford to piss of the 27%ers

Well, yes, they always have before.

So Occam’s Razor concludes that… this year, they couldn’t.

I figure that and the racist vote (with considerable overlap) is all they have left.

Not that I’ll complain if this results in an O/B White House, but from if you look at the stratergery alone it really does boggle the mind.

Rape her?

I wonder if ol’ Karl got a nice thank-you note Fed-Exed to him from Obama?
