ALPA endorses Clinton

[atrdriver]

Its still true today.

No, it was true when Truman, and even Kennedy were in office. They were the last of what I would call the "good Democrats." The current Democrat party is a lot more socialist than they are anything else.

Edwards Voter ????

Don't assume I'm voting for Hillary, I actually favored Edwards, and will consider how Obama is going to be with labor, and corporate reform/oversight. Electability and experience are concerns of mine as well.

Her 'negative perceptions' are a combination of fears instituted by Rush-Hannity-O'Reilley-Fox News, and the rest of the right wing media and repulsion of an american public who can't get over monicagate.

Also, she's not a slickster Ken-Doll like Mitt, and her public personna (body language, voice, speaking manner) could be more perfected. In that way she's similar to GWB, who has consistently fumbled grammar and pronounciation while using simple language, and people are endeared to him for that. Why not give cut her a little slack for showing that she's a real person as well?

So dude,you are voting for former Sen.Edwards,who happens to be the BIGGEST EMPTY SUIT running for office anywhere.The guy is nothing but a HUGE BLEEDING HEART DO-GOODER that only knows how to file a lawsuit !!
The former Sen.from N.CAR. is also a huge EMBARRASSMENT to the good people of N.CAR.
Get off the Kool-aid and stay off the far-left websites!!!
Who needs a 28,000 sq.ft.house to live in anyway??
Obama has no experiece and Edwards has dropped out of the race!!

Just the way I like 'em. He wasn't an ambulance chaser, he didn't sue McDonald's cause a shaky woman couldn't hold her hot cut of coffee. His cases were justified. There's NOTHING wrong with fighting against CORPORATE GREED, CRONYISM and FRAUD, and that's what he talked about a lot.

Actually we drink a lot of Crystal Light in our house, and I give equal time to the left and right websites. It's interesting, conservatives and liberals both say that they're trying to restrict American's freedoms and are Fascists wolves in sheep clothing. I believe one thing is for sure, things AREN'T going to get better in our country. Even if Obama gets elected.

Thanks for believing in me though!

So dude,whom are you supporting now? Obama?
The guy is nothing but a socialist!! The guy has never run anything in his life,never sponsored any landmark legislation,his only claim to fame is a law-degree from Harvard.He can ONLY talk about CHANGE because he has NO EXPERIENCE!!!!
The Crystal Light you claim to drink must be srewing you up,you would be well advised to get off the stuff since it is obviously laced with something!!!
An Obama administration would wreck the country!!we need more capitalism,NOT more socialism!!!!

What about Washington and Lincoln? They seem to have very little 'office' expereince.

What is wrong with socialism? Is all of Europe immoral?

Why is it pilots love the "socialism" of contracts, job protections, strikes, retirement bail outs and the like....

but it is all easily forgotten as they identify themselves as free market capitalist and placate limited corp america regulation.....all of which is designed to recycle jobs and keep wages, benefits and retirements cost controlled....

Pilots believe they are in the same league at CEO's and VPs when actually they have more in common with hotel maids. And of course, CEO's and VP's see no difference between pilots and hotel maids: they both are simply costs that must be controlled.

don't spit where you eat....

I can't help but picture the big labowski with your language!!

I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is, let's just say that. I believe Clinton is more electable than Obama, but would like to learn more about Obama's proposed policies. The caucus is over where I live.

PCL_128, doesn't Obama favor Universal Health Care, and isn't that considered a 'Socialist' policy proposal?
I think that Social Security and Medicare were considered 'socialist' during their originating time as well.

Think about this: Between 1981 and 2000 medical related bankruptcies increased by 2,200%, during the same time personal bankruptcies incerased by 360%. We have over 45 million without health insurance.

Obama does favor universal health care, but he doesn't favor a socialized version of it. Neither does the Hilldabeast. The programs that they are proposing continue the private health insurance business, but they make it available to everyone. The government does not take over health care under their proposals. That's called a single-payer system, and that would be socialized medicine. That's not on the table at all.

I think that Social Security and Medicare were considered 'socialist' during their originating time as well.

They are, because they are 100% government programs. Universal health care as proposed by Obama does not fit the same mold.

Pilots are the 10th guy

Pilots are the 10th guy in this story, elect a Dem and be part of the story.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

* The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
* The fifth would pay $1.
* The sixth would pay $3.
* The seventh would pay $7.
* The eighth would pay $12.
* The ninth would pay $18.
* The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.' Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

* The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
* The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
* The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
* The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
* The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
* The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,' declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, 'but he got $10!' 'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!' 'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!''Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do
not understand, no explanation is possible.
