I vote based upon what I believe about a candidate...a belief/disbelief developed by paying attention to what a candidate says/does during their campaign AND researching what they have said/done in their past. "If you have no record to run on, you paint your opponent as some to run from." -- Barack Hussein Obama, 2008 DNC Nomination Acceptance Speech. That one statement should have told every objective thinking person that Obama himself didn't believe he could win on own record.

What in the fuck is going on that conservatives and Republicans consistently take things out of context to try to prove their points?

Are you that weak-minded that you cannot come up with legitimate reasons to criticize Obama but have to resort to this nonsense?

Transcript - Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech - Text - NYTimes.com


But this, too, is part of America's promise, the promise of a democracy where we can find the strength and grace to bridge divides and unite in common effort.

I know there are those who dismiss such beliefs as happy talk. They claim that our insistence on something larger, something firmer, and more honest in our public life is just a Trojan horse for higher taxes and the abandonment of traditional values.

And that's to be expected, because if you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters.

If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.

And you know what? It's worked before, because it feeds into the cynicism we all have about government. When Washington doesn't work, all its promises seem empty. If your hopes have been dashed again and again, then it's best to stop hoping and settle for what you already know.

First off, you gotta have a message to refute. That is, you actually have to say something that is at least peripherally true, logical and worthy of consideration.

Apparantly you either didn't read, didn't comprehend or, most likely, are ignoring the OP's message because you can't refute it.

I did, and as presented it was asswipe.

Americans makeup as of:




White persons, percent, 2008 (a)
79.8%


Black persons, percent, 2008 (a)
12.8%

So to say that some people  (who happen to be white) are dissatisfied with Obama is like saying that the whale is undoubtably one of the largest mammals alive today. 

What is the significance of what is patently obvious?   There are more white folks in america than not.  How would you expect something stunning out of that?  What fucking possible use is that in the headline other than to sensationalize some ho-hum asswipe?

Like I said, really bad economy with no easy fix in sight, and hes doing better than reagan was same time same place in a not as bad economy.

But yeah, they both did horseshit, next.  We know hes not doing any miracles, so what miracles are there to perform?

Hell, whats Hipshooter or Faceshooter got?  They turn this bitch around and we'll toss Obama and elect them Prez by proclamation.

Nobody's got nothing, nobodys gonna get nothing.

What the fuck is going on is you just fell for the trap I set for you...just like Obama, the NAACP and the liberal msm fell for the trap Britebart recently set for them. What the fuck is going on here is the fact of the matter is that during the election it was Obama himself who didn't have a record to run on, so he painted McCain as someone voters should run from.

And that was to be expected, because after he put whence he came under lock and key, Obama had no alternative but to use "Hope and Change" to attack McCain and scare voters.

And you know what? An ever-increasing number/percentage of people who voted for Obama have had their hopes dashed by Obama.

The key word in the title and OP is "Deserting".

The significance of that is patently obvious. An ever-increasing percentage of whites and independents who voted for Obama, the ones without whom he couldn't have been elected, have been deserting him.

Love listening to Obama got you thrown under the bus by Obama. LOL

I do not think I got "thrown under the bus" by Obama. I do think Obama is better than any republican that could challenge him. I voted for Obama in the California primary right before I changed parties. I like Obama. I think there is hope for his presidency. I find those who adamantly oppose him are often doing so out of racial fears.

From your posts people are not wrongly classifying you as a racist because you "oppose Obama"... but for the reasons they have eloquently posted on this thread... Now I can understand no one wants to wear that label "racist", but hey, if the shoe fits, dude, you better wear it...

Notice something? I have been attacked by both left and right on this thread because I am politically radical. I expect being targeted, in fact I am used to it, nothing that has been leveled at me here shocks me, some people have to get personal because they can't debate their way out of a paper sack....like you, for example... but it comes with announcing a political opinion in 2010. Here is the deal though, no one, not one person, accused me of being a "racist" because I do not know if I can support Obama... so your post that anyone who doesn't support Obama gets labelled a racist is WRONG.
