What If?

“What if” there were NO Race Card for Barack Obama to play would McCain Voters still be RACISTS? “What if” Sarah Palin had aborted her Downs Syndrome baby would McCain Voters still be RACISTS? "What if" Sarah Palin and John McCain had attended Law School, would McCain Voters still be RACISTS? "What if" NewsWeek and the entire corrupt American media had not been in the tank for Barack Obama, would McCain Voters still be RACISTS? "What if" the writer and the poster of this post were not Race Baiters, would McCain Voters still be RACISTS?

"What if" Cindy McCain had graduated from Harvard,could McCain voters have been saved from RACISM?

Wardrobe

Stay up with the news guys, the wardrobe purchases only amounted to 50,000 not only for Palin, but for her family as well. Immediatley 50,000 was returned and 50,000 was tried on then returned. For a VP candidate and a family, the clothing is a must. Dont let the liberal media try to tell you otherwise, lets see how much Barack is spending on things not only in his campaign but the porkbarrel spending through his career.

Press

I think all we have to do is look at who runs the press and we see why everyone is so biased against McCain and Palin. I agreed with Fred Smith from LA about the majority of our children will never attend Harvard or the other Ivy League school. Should we tell them now they will neither have the education or money to succeed and posibility become President of this United States of America. I do believe at one time, anyone could grow up to become President of the US. Not so anymore??

And your point?

The words of a true elitist.

who is stupid?

Wow. How rational. Just like your leader. And hateful. Just like your leader. And by the way, he did crash planes (plural). The facts are published for all who would read them.

My dad, cousin, husband--all veterans. Honorable men who fought for their countries, did honorable service, love it and would serve again in the same way if they could. None of them are so narrow as to think that being a veteran is all one needs to become a good president. And having fought for our right to be free, none of them would "look me up, find me, and teach me some respect" for voicing my opinion.

Who's racist ?

You wanna talk racism ??? Duh, Rev. Wright......... Oh,No wait a minute, he just hates America!!!!!!

vp wardrobe, upside downworld.

First of all your donations are non-refundable my friends.Dont even go there.Second of all Sarah has been to a better university than the one senator obama went to.That sounds like a very old one,and like the other one said they just give them seals on paper.No metttle .No character.Unlike my Sarah. She went to a brand new one ,with a credible real -America sounding name:Matamuska-Susitna college.Look it up my friends.WE are the real deal.Fansy education corrodes and erodes character,dont be listening to senator Obama .He is a socialist.And by the way doesnt she look fansy since the other day.You dont need all the Harvard stuff to look like that.She looks stunning... doesnt she?

Oh by the way no refunds as from today ,Sarah know s the executive stuff and she is my adviser...for now.

Oh about the character thing we are very high on the list by our standards.Dont let senator Obama change your mind on that one.Tell him to go get busy...somewhere, measure the drapes or something....and leave us alone..

894th out of 899 isn't so bad

my high school ranked students to the very end of the class, and i took last place. but i know i could be President and do a good job, so why hassle McCain?

It would not matter...

If Obama and McCains pasts had been reversed the majority of Americans would have never heard fo Barack Obama.

Its funny to watch predjudiced minds see truth.

Its as though they are so scared that they post any ole accusitory crud hoping that the nasty old facts will go away.
