politisite, I like this story. It's good stuff. Just wondering how much will it help McCain?

A Trump endorsement is about worthless for McCain.

Of course Trump is endorsing McCain. He knows McCain won't raise taxes on his wealthy pals like Trump. The working class Americans will be paying through the nose if McCain gets into power. Wonder if they/we are smart enough to realize that sad fact?

I keep hearing class warfare issues on McCain allowing tax cuts for the Rich. Let me put it this way. When I was in Practice, I had a housekeeper, a Yard crew, and I constantly was upgrading my homes using local labor. The more money my company made, the more money I was able to spend. When you overtax the rich you take the power out of the economy.
I am not Rich.. but my little business that employee photographers, tech support folks, being able to buy services and upgraded equipment for our work. If our little company is taxed higher.. guess what. I take photos myself, I don't buy new equipment, I don't expand service... ultimatly I pay less to the Government because I didn't make much money. Taxes are paid through corp taxes, state taxes, local taxes, business taxes, FICA taxes, and property taxes... Now do you want to work and make a good wage from a small company or work for some corp who doesn't care about you. 250,000 a year is nothing for a small business.
So continue with class warfare.
I remember when I was in college, I complained about the excesses and attitude of our local muti-millionare. My boss told me that I should thank God for him everyday because over 1/4 of our business came from this one family.
It all sounds good.. tax the rich give to the poor.. tell me this, what has the government ever done well?

Actually, he has made his political choices known for over a 3 weeks now, long before Obama picked Biden.
It has been posted on this website at least 3 weeks. He has contributed to McCain before, including May of 2008 before the primaries, before Hillary lost. He contributed to McCain in 2005 and 2006. He has consistently contributed to both parties in each election for years. He has contributed to Joe Biden in the past as well.
Just because he says he supports someone, means little to me. He throws his money behind so many people that one could argue he cares more about the dinner parties than he does about the political parties. He just wants to be seen.

The other article I quoted related to that. I am not sure why NP users wish to look outside of NP when Trumps writing checks to McCain was posted here on August 28th. I am well aware that Trump helps many candidates financially.

Trump has failed in giving a solid reason why he will endorse Mccain, not picking Clinton does not change the very foundation why you are voting Democrat. It should be about the issues. The Presidency is an instituion it is not now and should never be about just the person.

Donald Trump is a very smart guy, he knows more about business than obama, so, I think he chose well endorsing McCain. Trump you are so smart.

Smart guy. That's why he gets into squabbles and name calling on public TV and radio with a woman who thinks Bush blew up the towers in New York. He has been married more times than J-Lo. And he had, I don't know, about 3.5 billion business debt and $900 million in personal debt in 1990. Back when a billion was a lot of money, lol. Some of us are old enough to remember. And he had his share of labor scandals. Paid some pore illegal Polish people $4.00 an hour, or rather didn't pay them at all, for demolishing one of his project sites for construction. The pay rate then was $11.00 hr to legal labor.
His casinos went bankrupt recently after the public rated his stock in the single digits, and he could not even manage to pay the interest in it's $2 billion dollar debt. His father died, after bailing him out of the numerous bad business deals and over extending real estate projects in 1999. Up until 2004, many companies and creditors have lost a lot of money on him, having to write losses off, after he refused to back his own casino. So they took away most of his ownership. They have sought voluntary bankruptsy protection to keep afloat. As a result, he relinquished his CEO position in 2004.
So, smart may be a stretch. He has experienced really high highs, and the lowest lows. His personal and business debt he had were more than most countries have, and he's just one person.

politisite, I like this story. It's good stuff. Worthless because it was based on emotion rather than reason.

Ain't telling,
If you'll keep looking, there are plenty of blog's and post out there for ignorant people like yourself and that don't have an intelligent brain cell left. Please find them. I don't think "stupid" people rose to the position of one of the most richest in the world because they were "stupid", anymore than I believe all Republicans are racist. Perhaps you missed the news last night where they featured Soro's as only "one" backer of Obama. He has several more. Soro's worth is 81 billion and counting. Do you know who Soro's is? You might want to check that out because when Soro's gets his filthy hands on America, you can kiss America good-bye. Please find another place to blog if nothing more intelligent can come out of your mouth.

Isn't it prejudice to call republicans racists. Abe Lincoln was a rebublican, was he not? Racism has nothing to do with political parties, though I feel that both extreme leftwing and extreme right-wing ideologies are the most prejudice of them all, torwards people who do not think the same way. History has proven that with the history of communists and facists, though one may say they are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. If the spectrum is in fact a circle then they are one in the same.
