I did. It was a somewhat fair representation. I like the fact that McCain's plan has negative numbers across the board. I wish I could find an article about the corporate tax rate that compares McCain and Obama.

I'm sure it would show that McCain understands that if you tax ...oil companies...for example that they will pass the cost into the price of gas...orgies..or no orgies..

Does it make sense what I am saying? That corporations do not pay taxes? They pass it into the price of their products.. It sounds good to increase taxes on the higher incomes, but it ends up hurting the middle class.

I'm talking about taxing businesses on the national level..But to answer your question, if they are required to do anything by contract, of course they should follow through. I've always thought that the purpose of a contract would be to use in court if requirements are not met.

How will it help to tax them more? Will that motivate them to bring jobs back? This is the problem I have with understand that philosophy..

You know, it's a company-by-company deal. It depends on which company actually keeps their word.

But IA with you.......when I read oil & energy companies are having parties and orgies on my dime, and that they should still receive huge tax breaks, yeas Greg, that would piss me off as much as it does you.

Hey Roman. I would definitely check it out online later if you can. There were some great moments.

Babs really gave it to him what he and SP meant by "reform" when their party has been in power the last 8 years. "What specifically is she going to reform?" She asked that about 4 times before he responded with how she "reformed" Alaska. That was the most visually ackward moment.

But they didn't give him a break on anything - the ads that are lies. Oh - Whoopie questioned him about separation of Church and State and if he believed in that. He answered that he did. Then Whoopie asked why he picked a VP that obviously doesn't share that view and how does he feel about it.

Overall, I would suggest everyone catch it online (if you can). I'm assuming that ABC posts their daytime shows on the web like CBS does....

I'm not sure if Palin's reason for nomination has been lost somehow, but I dont believe McCain picked her to be an expert on foreign policy. I think that may have been Obama's reasoning behind his pick of Biden.

McCain is banking on his own experience for matters of the world. Palin's greatest use is going to be implementing her reform credentials in Washington.

This doesn't surprise me. I still can't believe that there are people who feel this way:

As long as the electorate either refuses to listen to real news stories and votes via the rumor mill, this isn't going to change soon. These types of people still believe that Saddam had something to do with 9/11. There's no getting through to them.

And the Repubs could care less how they win the election. They aren't going to win on the issues, so if they can get enough "swing" votes from uneducated voters that think Obama is a muslim, they'll take it. It's nothing that they should be proud of.

I've already answered that in a previous post.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
