   Thanks for setting Frank straight- that argument he made is quite   
   incorrect and I'm suprised people still buy that 'redistribution"   
   nonsense. Jo   
   ============================================   
   Obama has stated that many times, you call it nonsense, he doesn't. Yet   
   you support him?   
      
   It is a message that Obama has been repeating ever since he became an   
   Illinois state senator and before. Are you really that blind or do you   
   just plain want to ignore the truth? Any honest person would admit it is   
   a mantra of Obama, now he is backpedaling like mad trying to sound   
   moderate between now and the election. You should listen to interviews   
   of him made in Chi a few years ago, and to his message to the German   
   people not long ago. Unless you are pro-marxist it would be hard to   
   miss.
