Would it have made you any happier had I said, "The Obama campaign's recent $800,000.00 contribution to ACORN, and his work with the Annenburg foundation?

Perhaps those words would have been more pleasing to your sensitive palate.

I think the actual point is being missed by many i think it is interesting that in general we never assume the other side of the coin. We assume that whites are racists and everyone else arent i think thats the main pointto be taken from this. It is interesting that so few people mention the other side whether its in politics or employment or whatever it is almost bigoted to assume that only white people can be racist yet it is something so many of us seem to think.

Obama is running the campaign McCain wishes he could run. McCain hasn't accomplished a lot either. It's easy to be on the sidelines and take shots, call it Maverick, but once in charge, shooting from the hip won't work. He keeps proposing plans a day or two after Obama comes out with one, often changing his former position to come closer to Obama's. All McCain has left is to milk his Vietnam experience again and try to run on character, but when the campaign and its supporters have turned nasty, Obama floats to the stop as the reasonable, calm, honorable man of character. This leaves Obama an attractive candidate even to people who never thought they'd vote for a Democrat--or a black man.

McCain attacks backfire

That qualifies him to run for President. I am of age to run. What other qualifications do I need. If you do not like who is running do not vote for him. Don't make an ass of yourself by spouting off stupid rhetoric.

How about people drop the hysterical End-of-Days-because-of-the-election rhetoric and consider this: it's possible, very possible even, that the large majority of people are moderate and reasonable in their ideas and aspirations. It's possible that they are motivated by rational thinking. It's possible that they will vote Obama because they have considered the options and decided that Obama was the best person for the job, precisely because he is neither a socialist, nor a fascist. Imagine that, aye?

If Obama's a socialist, I'm a born again Christian. Obama's a very moderate centrist. Facts, facts, facts, baby: I know they don't fit in with what you're trying to do, but some of us rather like them :-) .

Do us all a favor and learn what a word means before you use it.

Socialism is an economic doctrine where in the government owns the means of production. Redisribution of wealth from rich to poor makes Obama a progressive.

i think it is a shame how some believe that americans are stupid...they really do.

just like the "Caylee Anthony" murder case.  all the evidence points to a murder even though they do not have her  precious little body.  the evidence is the can of cholorphorm, dna or trace evidence of a dead body in the suspect vehicle and the suspect's suspicious actions after the baby disappeared.   

all of the evidence points to one thing.....something bad and possibly evil.  do we really want to know the scary truth?

At a recent social function, an African-American fellow told me he was voting for Senator Obama because "He understands what it is to be a black man in America".
 
Not being one that can resist any opportunity to break balls, I responded: "That's incredible! I'm voting for Senator McCain because he understands what it is to be a white man in America!"
 
For some reason, I'm the racist.

i looked it up! ha!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.[1][2] Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution which represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.[3][4] 


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism
so·cial·ism    /ˈsoʊʃəˌlɪzəm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[soh-shuh-liz-uhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1.
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.



2.
procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.



3.
(in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Yet Palin likes to say "He's not one of us."

Plenty of bullshit on both sides, frankly.

kitt
i can subscribe to any theory or practice i like that assist me in making a decision, just as others do.  hard evidence carries alot of weight with me.  i simply do not line up and follow the crowd.  just like you and everyone else i ask hard questions and i want truthful substantiated answers.
