Scroll For Updates…OBAMA’S LEAD SHRINKS IN KEY RED STATES!! Don’t allow the Obamedia to influence you!! GET OUT AND VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN!!!

Posted by Pam on 11/3/2008

John McCain What we’re fighting for

Final Mason-Dixon battleground numbers: dead heat

Here are the final numbers from the Politico state polling:
The final round of Mason-Dixon polls has Obama enjoying small leads in the red states that would deliver him the presidency, but he’s below 50 percent in each and there are enough white undecided voters to leave some too close to call.

Colorado: Obama 49, McCain 44, Undecided 4
Florida: Obama 47, McCain 45, Undecided 7
Nevada: Obama 47, McCain 43, Undecided 8
Pennsylvania: 47, McCain 43, Undecided 9
Virginia: Obama 47, McCain 44, Undecided 9
Ohio: McCain 47, Obama 45, Undecided 6
Missouri: McCain 47, Obama 46, Undecided 5
North Carolina: McCain 49, Obama 46, Undecided 5

As Brad Coker, who runs the Mason-Dixon poll, notes, the vast majority of the undecided voters in these states are whites.Love that last line– No kidding!

Do not allow the Marxisant Radical into the White House.
Don’t allow the Obamedia to influence you.
GET OUT AND VOTE!

Dr Sanity posted A PINCH OF REALITY, found within the pages of the UK Guardian:

You have to pinch yourself â€“ a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.

No one likes Mccain. He actls like a jerk. He’s too old and doesn’t even know how to use a computer.
I pray as does most of the country that he will loose.
I am sure that he will NOT be our next President THANK GOD
Sigismund O. S. 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:41 PM

Hello Everyone,

I am a Nigerian. I am pround to be a Nigerian, no matter the negative impression anybody has about my country, because nobody is a saint. Firstly, i will like to commend the posting of Riana above. From her statements, i realise and wonder why a kettle should be calling a pot black.

The man called pam that posted this is also an anti-american by posting all these rubbish. If he was a true American, as Americans are advocating unity and peace, he wouldn’t have released his statements.

Most of this negative reactions from the republicans are based on racism, envy and jealousy. America needs a serious change, if not its empire will fall sooner than expected as no empire is forever. Today, where are the roman, greek, Britian, russian empires? The next empire is China and then Africa.

Nature is taking its course. God almighty is a wonderful God. Our forefathers were your slaves, but our children will be your king. No matter how the republicans double their numbers.

Thanks.

Sigismund.
Milla 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:43 PM

Okay this is what I’m thinking. I think that Obama should win. No offense to those voting for McCain, but just give it some thought. McCain is going to do the same thing Bush has been doing these past 8 years. I’m not saying that Bush was wrong, it’s just that we are a large country in debt to others and we were due for a reccession/depression soon. It is unavoidable if you think about it. All countries go through a cycle of wealth and poorness. A new depression is as avoidable as the earthquakes due in New York and California. There is no true way to avoid them. Both Obama and McCain have their pros and cons. Think of some of these questions. Should celebrities pay the same taxes as we do? Should we have taxes on health benefits? What is McCain or Obama died in office, whose Vice Presidential choice would you rather take office? And why is Obama a “Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, on the verge of becoming President of the United States?” Give me a break! Okay, I’m going to stop typing before I get off the true topic. Just remember this. Vote for who you think is best. Don’t think about race or gender, just think about why you want McCain or Obama to be president. One last thing. Vote tomorrow. You have no right to complain about who is president if you didn’t vote.
Riana 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:45 PM

“Dave you better get out your wallet too if Obama gets in. Because you’ll need it for that $6 gasoline on the way:”

Yeah cause we’re doing so well now, the economy has so tanked that people can no longer afford to even pay for gas thus leading to th drastic decline in price. Sarah Palin is chanting drill baby drill of course leaving out it would take 10 or more years to get an amount of gas which wouldn’t even manage to service a quarter of the United States and you folks are talking about ‘Obama and 6 dollar gas’. That’s just sad. Your party had a chance, you sucked hard, and now you’re suffering for it…and it’s hilarious when big name republicans publicly denounce the party. Go Obama! Most of you supporters were still kissing George Bush’s *** when your kids were being blown up in Iraq.
Obama Internet Team Leader 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:46 PM

I just want to take a moment to thank and congratulate members of the Obama team who are posting here. Keep up the great work! I am very impressed by the quantity of posts; you are overwhelming your opponents by sheer volume!

I notice some of you are offscript somewhat; let’s face it what you are posting is way below the quality of what you were given. But that’s okay in the long run, because the kind of simpleton that would vote according to what you posted is who we are targeting; the dumber the better!

So just keep up the volume! BTW we will check your PCs after the campaign and will record how many posts were made by each of you. After the Obama coronation in January, the top 3 posters will get free paid trips to meet with Jihadists to be congratulated for your work! It’s a free vacation to the mountains of Afghanistan, and who knows, you might even get to meet Osama (yes, I meant Osama, not Obama!).

And you never know…your work here is a real resume builder! You could parlay it into a journalism position with the New York Times!

So get back to work, comrades, and remember: Our “truth” is the only “truth”!!!
Robert 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:49 PM

“…Sarah Palin is chanting drill baby drill of course leaving out it would take 10 or more years ”

With that one statement, taken right out of Nancy Pelosi’s mentally-ill talking points, you have shown you do not even have a basic enough understanding to comment on the subject.

Buh-bye!
Carri 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:50 PM

Republicans, you can hope all you want. It’s time for real change, not just a different puppet. I’m voting for Obama.
Dave Ruckman 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:53 PM

Robert, high gas prices are mostly due to rich speculators, target of Obama’s tax policy, I can’t even blame that on Bush. Then again, he may not yet realize that prices have changed, busy playing with his toes.
Robert 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:55 PM

John Wilkes:

“FDR comes in, used government money (heard this one before?) to put people to work, established billions of dollars of public work organizations, formed the Central Banks, the FDIC and saved the nation.”

You are an absolute moron. Go back and read what you are babbling about. You don’t even understand it.
Robert 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 05:57 PM

Dave you think supply and demand may have something to do with it?
Riana 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:00 PM

“With that one statement, taken right out of Nancy Pelosi’s mentally-ill talking points, you have shown you do not even have a basic enough understanding to comment on the subject.

Buh-bye!”

The spelling is bye-bye. I wouldn’t typically correct this, but I have noticed with all the folky speak and dropping of g’s the Republican party has been looking like it’s in desperate need of a dictionary lately. As for the rest…well it’s hilarious. Most of you folks are repeating the biblical rubbish of Fox News which has been disproven by basically severeal news media, but of course that ‘darn liberal media’. Satisfactorilly you choose to ignore that which doesn’t fit what has been regurgitated into your minds by your handlers even as the number of sources disproving it grows. McCain and Palin have been naming names like school children telling a teacher. Most amusingly attacking everyone from Matt Damon to Ben Afleck for publicly having a difference of opinion. So you think Pelosi’s the only one who’s said this…ah Fox News is getting too lazy to even list the number of people who think it’s crap anymore. The good thing about the amount of misinformation you have is that it makes it easy for your own party to use you as badly as it uses everyone else.
Dave Ruckman 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:01 PM

Emanuel, I doubt if you were on the fence as you claim based on your follow-up comments but no matter. Bush inherited a little over 3 trillion in debt, is leaving behind nearly 10 trillion. What the fat cats are calling ‘spreading the wealth’ is Obama’s plan to raise taxes on the wealthy and giving tax breaks to the middle class. If you are wealthy, I can understand your support for McCain and you should certainly vote for him. If the old fellow should die in office, just be prepared to live in a country run along the same lines as the local PTA. We can have a bake sale to raise money for your retirement.
Milla 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:03 PM

Obama Internet Team Leader-

“I notice some of you are offscript somewhat; let’s face it what you are posting is way below the quality of what you were given. But that’s okay in the long run, because the kind of simpleton that would vote according to what you posted is who we are targeting; the dumber the better!

No offense, but calm down. Even though I’m too young to vote, I don’t stoop to the level you have. Excuse me, but some people need to trash the racist comments and start talking like civilized adults. I don’t like bad mouthing and although I can’t vote, I can at least be more mature. Please grow up. You’re setting a bad example for everyone voting for McCain.
Pam 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:03 PM

Milla-

The economic situation we are in could have been avoided or at the very least, contained 3 years ago, to a much smaller problem that what we are faced with today. The American Dream has become our National Nightmare. Extending credit to people that were not able to pay the loans back is not what the American Dream is. When questions were raised and the word investigation came up, the cries of RAAAACISM could be heard all throughout DC! A bill came up and our Senators had a chance to stop this in 2005. The vote spilt along party lines..but thank god Obama wrote that letter..it has made all the difference in the world!
Dave Ruckman 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:07 PM

Actually very little, Robert. Everyone here would be shocked if they knew how little the Arabs actually receive for a barrel of oil. When we were paying just shy of $2 a gallon they received about $7 a barrel which sold here at around $40, the difference went into the pocket of the speculators. However, if your question implies we are oil hogs, you are right on point. It is a consumption issue and, yes, the world supply is finite. We got the wake up call in the 70′s and, while Europe responded with fuel-efficient vehicles, the good ol’ USA worked it’s way up to the Hummer.
realitycheck1968 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:07 PM

Regardless of anyone’s political stance, it is important to remember that as the world sees it, we as the nation “by the people, for the people” have allowed the bloodshed, and chaos that is war run rampant like an unstoppable juggernaut. The anger and frustration has landed on our front porch in the form of 9/11. Instead of addressing, , and resolving the issues that led to the tragic and horrific events in New York, we have instead, decided to hit anything that appears to be a threat with the biggest stick we can find, and then stand on a chair in the kitchen screaming about how democracy can save the world. Funny thing…democracy, by its nature, must be the overwhelming wish and desire of the people. You can not cram it down a nation’s throat by force and expect them to come back asking for seconds…they have to be willing to stand by it, defend it, and nurture it just as we have had to do. And yet, as a nation, we have forgotten where we started, poor, in debt, divided into thirteen seperate countries, fighting to survive against everyone. It is easy to blame the Federal Government for our current troubles because it is big, slow, and in a sense, hobbled by its own girth, but in doing so, we are really blaming ourselves for our greed, inaction, and silence while we stood around and watched the monster we created, devour our freedoms and peace of mind that we have sacrificed lives for and strived to maintain as a legacy for our children. We have all fallen short in our duties as citizens by not being vigilant in ending injustice and inequality no matter the cost. Tomorrow, before you cast your ballot, reflect on our past, hope for our future, and vote your conscience.
Pam 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:11 PM

OMG Riana, how old are you? Maybe 20? You have no idea what a writer is inferring when they write Buh-bye, do you? =))
Milla 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:11 PM

Pam-

“The economic situation we are in could have been avoided or at the very least, contained 3 years ago, to a much smaller problem that what we are faced with today.”

I am not an idiot. Three years ago is the past. Think of the future. Right now, I and a lot of others are focused on the future not the past.

“Extending credit to people that were not able to pay the loans back is not what the American Dream is. When questions were raised and the word investigation came up, the cries of RAAAACISM could be heard all throughout DC! A bill came up and our Senators had a chance to stop this in 2005. The vote spilt along party lines..but thank god Obama wrote that letter..it has made all the difference in the world!”

Even if the bill was passed, it would only delay, not stop, where we are now. I do believe that people should be able to pay their loans, but also keep in mind this. Have you ever taken out a loan? Ever notice how hard they can be to pay off if you are starting a family or living in a large one? Everyone has their own opinions on things, but Pam, you are currently taking it to a new level. Please, GROW UP.

Whoa theres a recurring statement that ive been picking up from those messages that say if u vote for Obama the future will be shit,Iran will get nukes etc etc..

Quick give me wednesday lottery numbers .. iam tired of waiting every 1st and 15th for my welfare money i needs my Crack asap.. Did u guess see how the Bush Administraion would end up like?? Guess u guys cant for real huh??
Barbara - Woodland Hills, CA 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:14 PM

Obama – A forward thinking leader. I refuse to believe that McCain could actually win. He is a badgering, cranky man, with a pinhead as his choice for the Vice Presidency. OBAMA TOMORROW~ VOTE.
Riana 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:16 PM

“OMG Riana, how old are you? Maybe 20? You have no idea what a writer is inferring when they write Buh-bye, do you? ”

…how old are you? The smiley face having a fit and the gleeful joy to jump on a comment that was focused on political commentary more than ‘buh bye’. I have to assume you’re fairly old…
Some Guy 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:17 PM

Im just browsing campaign arguments between people. This one’s hilarious. Milla, your response to “Obama Internet Leader” or whatever is priceless. How much of an ignorant ass do you have to be to put up blind sarcasm in the middle of a political debate blog? If we lived a few centuries ago, Internet Leader would have been a good old fashioned clan member. Not quite as funny anymore…but ignorance does breed. That is all.

Good luck to everyone and may the best candidate win. Personally, I would choose Obama.
Dave Ruckman 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:17 PM

Pam and Milla,

As a former banker I can tell you this. Far more loans now in default were granted to people refinancing their homes to buy and flip other properties for profit than to those lower income folks who over-bought. That’s the risk of investing in anything especially the stock market. Maybe you win maybe you lose, they lost not only the investment property that became rapidly devalued but also their homes that they risked with adjustable rate mortgages that they had planned to pay off in a couple years with profits.
Barbara - Woodland Hills, CA 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:20 PM

I am also glad to see that nearly all the comments here are in support of Barack Obama. I believe it will be an overwhelming win, and that all the “hopes for the Republicans” are written by the people who are being paid by John McCain. It’s going to be a beautiful day on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. We will finally have a President who honestly wants change for the better of everyone.
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA…..:d
Dorie 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:22 PM

How is it that EVERY poll I vote on shows McCain as a clear winner? VOTE!! VOTE!! VOTE!!! MCCAIN/PALIN. Don’t give that liberal racists a chance to ruin our country. They have plunged the economy into chaos with their propaganda and fear inciting media blitz in order to scare the ignorant and poor into thinking that he has any concern for them. Send them ck to where they belong. VOTE – speak out for the conservative people still the majority in this country.
Ridgeway 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:25 PM

I have encountered white, conservative Republicans who plan to vote for Obama, not because they share his views but only because he’s black and they are excited to see to color line get broken. I admit to feeling the same excitement, but I have to vote by the issues, not by race, so I am voting for McCain. I just wish the first black person to run a credible campaign was not so far to the left! Why couldn’t we have someone like Collin Powell run for President?

I see a lot more sexism than racism this election. Some conservatives are voting AGAINST Palin rather than FOR Obama. They always site her lack of experience as the reason, but I don’t believe them. Being a governor of any state is better preparation for the presidency than being a fist term senator who has spent his entire senate career running for another office. I wonder how much better McCain would have done in the polls if he had chosen a man to be his running mate?

I also believe that the risk of McCain dying in office is exaggerated. His mother is still lucid and ambulatory in her 90s! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, remember. I am afraid that this fear simply masks prejudice against women in higher office.

Therefore, I conclude that racism is overrated in this campaign and that sexism is underrated.
Zelda 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:25 PM

Wow!!! Great stuff on so many levels.

I will be voting for Senator Obama. I think the Republican’s have really misrepresented what he is all about and I think he’ll do a great job.
Barbara - Woodland Hills, CA 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:25 PM

It’s interesting, the difference in language and attitude between Obama and McCain supporters. McCain’s crankiness is obviously wearing off on his supporters. I don’t look at this as a popularity contest. I believe that Obama is going to start moving our Country forward. John McCain just scares me.
Emanuel 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:29 PM

You know why blacks are supporting Obama, because they are just so fucking lazy, Iam black too, i can testify to that, with Obama they have seen a messaiah who will, take money from the hardworking whites and give to the lazy poor blacks.

And whites (DEMOCRATS) on the other hand, are so stupid that they can even see this coming… Have u ever asked:

1.Why are the prisons filled with blacks???

2.Why is africa so poor???

3.Why are Muslims in America mostly Blacks?

All these alL boils down to laziness.

So VOTE!!! JOHN McCain if u are a Hardworking White who doesn’t want his cash giveN to lazy blacks.

OR

If u are a Wise black Man like Me.
Pandy 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:31 PM

Where do people get this idea from that Senator Obama is going to take money from the rich and give to the non working population? It just proves that whoever is saying this is ignorant and a racist because no matter what Senator Obama says, they can only hear what their racist brain processes. He stated he would cut taxes for the middle class to lessen the burden on us that are making less than $250,000 a year. He didn’t say he was giving money to people on welfare. By the way, I am sure there are a lot of “Joe, the plumbers” on WELFARE. Sure, there are a lot of people that abuse Welfare, but there are a lot of people who need it, i.e. the hundreds of thousands people who have lost their jobs this year. I am sure they need food stamps and other assistance to provide for their family. The people that relate to Joe the plumber and Joe six pack, I am sure you are not making over $250,000 a year. (Those are the ones that are at the rallies – Pam, I’m sure I saw you at one. Weren’t you the older lady who called Senator Obama an Arab and Senator McCain had to take the mic away from you?)

We all have to pay our share. I do not have any children, yet my property taxes doubled to build ten new schools. Why do I have to pay taxes to go towards schools that I have no children to attend? Because I do. It is what it is. We will always pay taxes. It’s what keep this great country running.

This is the best place to live. It would be even better if we got rid of the small minded racist.

For the person who wrote move to another country on one of the post, how about the racist people move to another Planet. The USA is a melting pot of all different types of people with different backgrounds. If the racist people can’t handle the America of tomorrow, I think they should move. How about to Mars?
Dave Ruckman 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:38 PM

You know, Emanuel, I bet an educated black man like you would do a much better with your typing, vocabulary and composition if you’d just straighten up the eye holes in your sheet so you could see a little more clearly. Frankly, I do hope you keep spouting your racism in support of McCain on election eve. It’s probably one of the best arguments I’ve seen here to actually get anyone with a double-digit IQ to get out and support Barak. By the way, he is actually half-white, too, so no matter which race you really are you are a lot like him.
mh 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:39 PM

Anyone who would vote to put a snake-handling imbecile like Palin a heartbeat from the presidency hates this country.
Riana 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:44 PM

“You know why blacks are supporting Obama, because they are just so fucking lazy, Iam black too, i can testify to that, with Obama they have seen a messaiah who will, take money from the hardworking whites and give to the lazy poor blacks.

And whites (DEMOCRATS) on the other hand, are so stupid that they can even see this coming: Have u ever asked:

1.Why are the prisons filled with blacks???”

A mixture of low-class, low-opportunity, bad influences and lack of support. Most of your views are ignorant and hate-filled. I know nothing I say will change that but if you assume prisons are filled with blacks becuase they’re ‘lazy’ then you’re hardly as intelligent as you claim to be. Atleast intelligently say the real reason they’re filled with blacks, the way the prison system offers no reform merely putting out prisoners of all races back on the streets with little skill or opportunity almost guaranteeing they’ll wind back up in prison.

“2.Why is africa so poor???”

Once again it’s obvious you have no grasp of history or information atleast. Africa was a thriving continent until it was effected first by the lashing of slavery by WHITES. After slavery corruption occurred, power was given to whites who lorded over the land keeping blacks down in subserviance. After that they appointed power to blacks who cared more about power and riches than their land and their people choosing to rape their own land in a desperate need for power. Africa is poor because it’s own natural resources are being shipped to the United States instead of staying within it’s land. The charity being donated to Africa are taken by it’s corrupt and idiotic officials. So on, so forth.

“3.Why are Muslims in America mostly Blacks?”

LMAO…I’m not even going to answer this. I’d have to get into the basis of the Muslim religion and that’s time wasted.

“All these alL boils down to laziness.”

Of course it does, no unjustice, unfairness, prejudice, corruption..none of that. Laziness.

“So VOTE!!! JOHN McCain if u are a Hardworking White who doesn’t want his cash giveN to lazy blacks.

OR

If u are a Wise black Man like Me”

Vote for whoever you want to, but atleast crack a book…you’re giving John McCain a bad name…then again you may represent his core constituent.

You are an idiot.. If you are going to have an opinion, please have an intelligent one. The bill would have been a better remedy than the $700 billion allotted with $500 billion more being sought. I am thinking of the future and I am basing it on the actions taken by the 2 senators running for POTUS!

Have I ever taken out a loan? Yes. Are they hard to pay back? No, not when you take out a loan you can afford to pay back and you budget your money.

Get an education
Milla 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 06:46 PM

Its kinda half and half. The reason I won’t vote for Palin is because it is not time for a Woman VP. Yes, some people won’t vote for McCain because he choose a woman for his Vice President, but some people were driven away by the fact that she had a part in getting a man fired over family affairs. She misused her powers as a Governor. I am a woman, but as I said, we are not ready for a female VP.

Great post, Riana. Did you notice this “Wise black man” didn’t mention hard-working blacks or lazy whites? He’s also the same guy who, a few posts up, claimed to be an undecided voter until just today. WOW! What a transformation, from not sure to total bigot in a matter of hours!

what do u mean Racist, How can I possibly a racist to my own race, my point is am not like other blacks who vote for their fellow black candidate, regardless of the principles the candidate abides by.

“Great post, Riana. Did you notice this “Wise black man”didn’t mention hard-working blacks or lazy whites? He’s also the same guy who, a few posts up, claimed to be an undecided voter until just today. WOW! What a transformation, from not sure to total bigot in a matter of hours!”

Thank you, and he’s as undecided as Joe the Plumber. Joe ‘I don’t have a plumbing license, am behind in back-taxes, don’t work for the company I claimed to work for – ‘

Wait…wait a minute. Emanuel…are you Joe the Plumber, buddy…McCain’s been looking for you.

“Where do people get this idea from that Senator Obama is going to take money from the rich and give to the non working population? It just proves that whoever is saying this is ignorant and a racist because no matter what Senator Obama says, they can only hear what their racist brain processes.”

Good Lord! This is the very bottom of the barrel of Obamabots. The statement above is so utterly idiotic, so microcephalic on so many levels it stands by itself in the annals of moronicity!

Pam,

Ah, but there is a lot of difference in whether the person was low income or not. Some were thinking that the loose lending market might allow them to possibly achieve the American dream of owning their own home and were taken advantage of by unscrupulous lenders. I was, indeed, still in banking at the time and saw many examples of that. Others were well-off and refinancing everything they had to fix and flip properties for profit. Yes, all of it contributed to the problem but throwing it in an “end of the day” basket is merely the easy way out. This problem was caused by and contributed to by greed not a simple desire to improve one’s lot.

Reading sites like these take me back to my roots growing up in a rural, ignorant, community in the Midwest. As I have left the county, it amazes me how, whenever I return, how sharply racist and ignorant these “red state” people are. As a resident expert on red states, I can tell you, it doesn’t make any difference what is written to a republican, if they are not the top 1% earners, they do not have the capacity to understand the difference, anyway. That, my friends, is why Republican candidates get any votes at all.

Im’ a black woman who has voted for white people all my life, only to be told now that the only reason I’ve voted for Obama is because he’s black.That utterly non sense I have voted for both partys it all depends on their platform and do I believe what they are saying.Obama is just a man and it should not matter the color of his skin.Has America gotted pass race or is it that race matter if black don’t stay in their place, as far as whites are concerned.

Milla-

While you might be proud of pre-school, it hardly qualifies as an education.
Obama all the way 11/3/2008 at November 3, 2008 - 07:17 PM

In response to Mike’s comment:
“only in Africa and the movies!!! What movies had black presidents??? ”

Mike… You’re a fundamentalist asshole… and pretty soon there’s going to be less of you. Lets turn this country into the system built on facts and statistics… not a country where religious fundamentalists like McCain/Palin use fear against the american people and then insinuate that obama is a terrorist. You are what you hate. Religion has no right to infringe on the rights of others, and if you disagree than I guess you fit amongst the jihad extremists you fear. But whatever, tomorrow we’ll find out… in the meantime why don’t you go back and educate yourself in front of the silver screen:D

Sorry. I’m not in pre-school. I probably have a better education then you do anyways. Well, I’m logging off. One thing. Pam, go trash the BS now. I’m sure everyone else is tired of stepping in it. It’s your mess.
