Loading ...INDECISION ‘08
I’m out of town today getting ready to meet with my accountant and vet out some tax issues. I really need to just have one job and be done with it. Either that or maybe the government should stop taking so much of my money, either way I’m out today, but I wanted to leave you with this thought about Indiana’s Super delegates.
As you know, Indiana’s Democratic Congressmen have not come and publicly stated who they will support for President. Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN-1) , Rep. Baron Hill (IN-9), Rep. Brad Ellsworth (IN - 8), Rep. Joe Donnelly (IN-2) and Rep. Andre Carson (IN-7) are all in the undecided column, or are they.
My sources are telling me that Hill, Ellsworth and Donnelly are going to back Barack Obama. The logic makes sense, each is running for re-election in competitive areas and who wants their opponents to hang the albatross of Hillary Clinton around their necks.
Carson is a different creature. I don’t expect him to endorse anyone until after the primary because he has no reason to. Half his supporters are for Clinton (Evan Bayh, Dan Parker) and the other half are for Obama (Bill Crawford, Greg Porter). Carson has nothing to gain by coming out and making a decision. All it will do is make half his base mad, so staying undecided for now is about the best decision he could make. I would expect him to make a decision after the May primary because then he can use the “will of the voters” as the perfect cover.
I have to get back to gathering up some more documents, but I thought I’d send this little item your way.
Enjoy your weekend.

As a Tax Preparer I want to thank you on behalf of your Tax Preparer that you are taking that time to assist him in assisting you. One of the biggest frustrations we face in preparing your taxes is where did you get this money, how did you spend it and what the heck are you doing? As you immerse yourself in 1040’s, Schedule C’s and 1120S’s don’t forget that in the end you will be better for it. LOL

Abdul: DUH…. it does not matter how many jobs you have, it is all about income. So, if you wish to pay less taxes, lower your income…it is real simple. This of course does not address the fact that many people no doubt think you are probably grossly overpaid for what ever it is you do.

Pay your taxes: DUH…..Abdul’s problem is the tax system is too complicated. Since he is an achiever with numerous jobs, the paperwork is crazy and we shouldnt be expected to have to figure that craziness out.

Pay your taxes. There is another option open to him. He could become mega rich and avoid paying taxes altogether. He could check with Soros, Kerry, Gates, Buffet etc. They probably pay less in taxes due to all the loopholes their lobbyists have imposed than Abdul has to pay. Of course, like you said, he could always do it the go old Demo way by falling backwards. The answers to problems is always to do less.

Carson is obviously supporting Billary since he was at her previous swing through the state. I thought he was supposed to BE IN WASHINGTON but just like grandma…. besides he sounds so stupid that opening his mouth turns off anyone who hears him.

1. Congressman André Carson was also at the Obama event in Plainfield too. He has made no commitment to either candidate.
2. Congress was on a 2-week Spring Break. Congressman André Carson returns to D.C. tomorrow.
3. The voters heard Carson and Elrod and decided Carson made the best speeches - the majority of voters chose Carson. Anonymous nobodies like at 7:17pm aren’t permitted to vote: recall the VoterID Law!

Wilson, “blah, blah, blah, blah…”
Andre is a sexist.
March 28th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
anonymous nobody: “nonsense, gibberish, lies, sour grapes, whining, etc.”
By the way, Congressman André Carson returns to DC on Monday. He hasn’t missed a single vote!

Well, Wilson, that last line is the best news I’ve heard about our Congressional reperesentation in eight years.
Voters make another choice May 6.
Tick tock, Wilson.

Wilson, YOU posted the YouTube that showed Andre’s sexist ways. Then someone smacked you upside the head and said to get it down immediately.

Chill out, Jocelyn - the Carsons get elected, you never do. Your incessant namecalling has gotten you nowhere!
March 29th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Abdul, what do you think of the fair tax?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:07 am
HELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOO Wilson, I am NOT Jocelyn.

Wilson spewed forth: “The voters heard Carson and Elrod and decided Carson made the best speeches - the majority of voters chose Carson. Anonymous nobodies like at 7:17pm aren’t permitted to vote: recall the VoterID Law!”
Don’t you mean that you and the Center Township Mafia stuffed the ballot boxes so Andre’ would win and keep your crew in power? I mean cardboard boxes with no REAL security???

Good Wilson! It’s about time a Carson did his/her job. They should get applause for doing what they are supposed to do?
Now lets see if Andre will just vote the party line every time or will he think for himself.

[...] It looks like Barack Obama is about to get another Indiana Super Delegate. Talking Points Memo reports Rep. Baron Hill (D-9) is going to endorse Obama this evening. Anyone reading this blog already knows this because we told you this weeks ago. [...]
