OH-2 Special Election Coverage and Prediction thread...

[The Duke]

So, large contirbutions by DU Democrats and high energy from Kossack volunteers made a by election competitive in OH-2.  So what?

Well, an A for effort, Democrats.

What the hell is a chickenhawk anyway?

A chicken hawk is what Democrats say about Republicans when they've run out of real arguments.

Its the Democrats MO.  Reagan was stupid, Bush is a chickenhawk, any time they lose the actual argument they start calling people names like a 4 year old on a playground.

Nick,   

I served four years in the Air Force. Which branch of the military are you in, or planning to join?

I dont remember calling you a ChickenHawk.  When I typed "NeCons" you were not one of the posters I had in mind. 

Thank you for your service, sir.

And who exactly did you have in mind?

AuH20 has clearly confused the personal income tax and the FICA tax.  FICA, which funds social security, is per earner.  Personal income taxes can be filed jointly by married couples.

Scoonie is only technically right that the poor pay FICa taxes.  They pay the tax, but then they get an EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) Which is specifically designed to offset the impact of FICA taxes on the poor.  The poor pay, but most get it all right back in the EITC.

Thank you. He needed to hear it from a Republican to believe it.

I'd imagine he doesn't believe it.

I'm going to ask someone that knows what they're talking about, not a loony Democrat or retard Republican.

Which is why John Ford stepped in between Scoonie and you.

I appreciate that, Tredrick.  I've been taking sh**t from this guy all day.  Its nice to see that the people who matter are with me.
