What the hell are you smoking? Ever been elsewhere in the USA?

That would be confirmed if a highly-qualified black Republican lost to a drunken Ted Kennedy in the South.

There you go. Its official. She is running on the Lieberman ticket.

Mmmmmmm profits


Mmmmm other people's profits

2/6/2007 1:33:08 PM

how does her realizing that large amounts of dangerous people hating us make her on the lieberman ticket?

edit: also, oil companies got subsidies for a long time, they still get money. why shouldn't it go back to the people in some fashion? take my tax dollars and raise the gas prices? nothx

In 2005, ExxonMobil paid about $23 billion in taxes on $59 billion of profit. So $23 billion went back to the people, and still Hillary wants to take more. After all, those profits don't belong to shareholders, they belong to Hillary.

Did they pay 23 billion and still have that much profit or did they pay 23 billion on everything incoming total? That's a huge difference and those facts are often thrown around to make it look better for the corporations.

2/6/2007 2:03:33 PM

^^how much were they subsidized that year?

2/6/2007 3:34:17 PM

From a 2005 article:

Quote :

"Exxon Mobil and other oil companies may benefit from $2.6 billion in subsidies in the energy bill that is nearing passage in Congress. The subsidies, designed to encourage domestic oil and gas production, were part of an oil industry "wish list," according to David Hamilton, the Sierra Club's energy programs director."

funny how everyone is always like, "OMF THE SOUTH IS SO RACIST"

but everytime I've been up north it seemed to me that most black people don't live anywhere near the white people

"Did they pay 23 billion "

Exxon paid $23B on $59B leaving them a $36B profit. That's a profit margin of about 10%.

Compare that profit margin to:
Qualcomm 32%
Texas Instrument 30%
Pfizer 40%
Wachovia 26%
Google 26%
Microsoft 25%
Coca Cola 22%


Hillary should go after the profits ofthese companies since they are keeping a bigger percentage of "HER" money.

do you ever have an argument that isn't based on anecdotal evidence?

2/6/2007 5:44:21 PM

ok nevermind, I forgot when it goes against someones argument that real life experiences are just anecdotal and not valid

I didn't drive around up there and see that blacks and whites live a whole lot more seperate than they do here

a week in jersey, no black people

a week in vermont, saw one black guy, played bball for UVT

driving everywhere else up there, plenty of blacks(in their black neighborhoods), but there weren't any whites anywhere around them

same in montreal

same when I visited baltimore a few times


what I said is still valid, everyone screams that the south is racist, but I think there are plenty of backwoods northern fucks and elitist big city people that are more racists than most southerners I come across.... but you can deny it

shitty people are everywhere, not just the south as you people like to scream

OMG THE SOUTH IS FULL OF HATE AND RACISTS, THATS WHY I WANNA LIVE IN MARTHAS VINEYARD OR CAPE COD... give me a fucking break

and I find it funny that most of you left leaners are all about black people when it comes to politics, but I'd be willing to bet plenty of you people wouldn't want to have your house near them

hippocritical fucks

Well, I'm glad I've never claimed that, then.

I'm quite proud to be from North Carolina.


If you can't name both of these men, you aren't a true North Carolinian.
