I will also explain how Bush raised taxes while claiming a "TAX CUT" myth while he was Governor of Texas.

There is no state income tax in Texas, you may ask how he did it?

The "taxes" he cut were the Corporate Franchise fees, and oil & gas royalties (Fees & royalties are not actually taxes).

Unfortunately, these were the funds that were used to fund schools. Now people like the sound of tax cuts, but they aren't going to de-fund their schools. So what had to happen? The schools still needed funding, and it wasn't going to come from the state....

So school districts had to raise property taxes to meet their budgets.

So he actually raised taxes.

Does McCain really want to make Montana a battleground state?

I guess it is somewhere he can compete.

Yes,

I thought that Obama should have pointed out that we created Bin Laden, just like we created Saddam.

I agree that Texas is closer than most national pundits may think.

Except for the rarely-seen Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker in '04, I haven't any Demo bumper stickers/lawn signs in Texas since I moved here in '87.

I see plenty this round. The state may not go blue, but I think there will be pick ups in congress, and maybe with some help from DNC/Obama, Cornyns senate seat. He isn't well thought of, but has high name recognition by those who don't follow too closely..

just wondering, but is the chairman of the SEC confirmed by a particular Senate committee?

Like the Senate Commerce Committee? McCains?

If true, what did the good Senator have to say about Chairman Cox during the hearing?

I saw this, and it ain't like that.

It was Lou Dobbs asking her leading questions. It was all she could do to keep from laughing in his face. It was Dobbs pushing to get the "both sides do it" meme.
