Radio Host Doc Johnson Calls Tanning Tax 'Racist!

This is silly. In my opinion this is a "vanity" tax. If you can afford to be vain, you can afford the tax at the tanning salon.

But, just for the hell of it, I'll play Devil's Advocate and pose this question: If a white President signed a bill implementing a tax on something that was targeted at a black audience, like, say, hair braiding, wouldn't the African-American population and the far left media jump all over him?

I'm just sayin'....

Oh, puh-leeze. How is this even still being discussed?

The majority of America voted for this congress and this president.

...as the lies and misinformation spread around by the right wing continue to be exposed, the majority will be in favor of it.

The majority of America voted for this congress and this president. We are a republic not a democracy.

We will see if Mig is right, and if some of that same majority cuts him off at the knees in the mid-term elections.

And these same Americans are putting Republicans back in office(Scott Brown, NJ,VA Governors.)

also too sarah palin is another reason why i hope obama stays in the white house.

The Dems will take a hit in November, but will not lose the Senate or the house. I will make a friendly wager of an adult beverage (within reason) with Apple and Mig on this prediction, and another wager that Obama is reelected in 2012.

If I do bet you how do I get to redeem this adult beverage?

At an Obama rally .

Politics aside, the law of averages alone dictates Obama won't be re-elected. After 8 years of Clinton followed by 8 years of Bush, we are about due for a one-term President.

But save your money, dt. According to the Mayans, life as we know it ends in 2012 regardless of any election, anywhere.

I'm just wondering if it'll be due to nuclear attack or a solar flare. Either way...won't be pretty.

Sarah Palin is what I fear most from politics. She lies (death panels), she gives incredibly stupid answers to seemingly simple questions ("...all the newspapers" and "I can see Russia..."), she's incendiary and she'll take any gig for a buck.

Palin would be a hands down far superior President to the one we are suffering with right now.

I can agree with this 100%

The whole 'death panel' thing may be a harsh term, but not a lie an not as unlikely as some might like to think. It is a look at the long term effects of universal healthcare, when high costs lead to the inevitable rationing, and some group of people having to sit at a table and decide, because of age, prognosis, stage of disease, or whatever...who gets treated and who does not. There have been many instances of this under the socialized medicine system in Europe.

So in twenty or so years, when some of you now 40-ish and up members of the Gangster BB, or your friends or family members need lifesaving medical care and cannot get it - not because you're not 'covered' but because it simply isn't available unless you can come up with alot of cash on the spot, then you can think back to the seemingly ridiculous term 'death panels' and wonder if it was such a lie after all. Unless of course, much of the horror of 'ObamaCare' is eventually repealed.

Sarah Palin isn't the liar, Barack Obama is the liar. He is one of the biggest most arrogant liars that ever set foot in the White House. And although I doubt she could make it through the primaries if she even decided to run in 2012, Palin would be a hands down far superior President to the one we are suffering with right now.

Palin is a screaching moron

"How's that 'hooked on phonics" thing' working for ya?"
