  1. I would define the middle class as above the poverty line and below where Democrats want to raise taxes.
  2. When I was growing up, we won some goldfish. They miraculously lived longer than a week. After several months, we stopped changing their water, and we left them outside. They refused to die. Then we went out of vacation, and our grandparents came and changed the water (which was filled with algae by then). They died.
  3. How will he protect the Constitution from rulings like Roe v. Wade that create rights not defined in Constitution?
  4. Your loss. I was totally prepared to do so.
  5. Say what you will about Palin, but when that fleet of Putin heads flies into our airspace, all of y'all will regret voting for O'Biden.

  14. I don't know about you, but where I live libraries and schools are owned by local governments. Hospitals are not typically owned by the federal government (with the exception of VA hospitals). That just leaves the post office. It's too bad there aren't privately-owned companies that can be used to mail things.
  15. Cut spending. Not that McCain is going to do enough of this to make much difference, but that's the answer.
  16. Oprah is an example of conservatives not liking to think?
