I think all of you talking are doing it because Obama is part black..

The NY Times and the Lib. media, especially CNN and CNBC have been trying for some time now to get Obama, the most dangerous man to run for the highest office of the US of A, elected. Now the Times of UK has also joined in.
Obama’s past associations are a reflection of his future and God forbid that this man should take office.
If nothing else, he is the US version of Neville Chamberlain and we know what a mess this gross appeaser and weakest of British PM’s left behind for Churchill, FDR and later, Truman to sort out!
Finally, Obama enjoys the backing of 93% of blacks, which is a level of support even Sadam Hussein would have been impressed with. The trouble is, this makes it the most racial of all elections in US history. Come Nov.4th, the backlash in the ballot boxes would shock even the most rabid of right-wing pollsters!

IS OBAMA FAILING TO WIN BECAUSE OF RACE?
Interesting article, however it would be even more interesting to see the same kind of analysis if the black candidate was Colin Powell, or Condelza Rice. If the black candidate had more experience, and didn't vote present over 100 times ... was not so far to the left ... did not propose such radical changes to our society, such as a socialistic agenda ... did not have negative associations, such as 20 years tied to a Reverend Wright, and other radicals ... Threw his close friend of 20 years under the bus for personal gain ...did not have a Muslim name, father and step father, just 6 years after 9-11, and while America, and it's allies is in the midst of constant attacks from murderous Muslim terrorists ... was properly vetted from the beginning ... did not enjoy such overwhelming biased favoritism from the media ... did not arrogantly create his own Presidential seal ... did not disrespect historical American institutions, and traditions, as a way of selling his Change message ... did not use accusations of race in response to every opposing argument ... did not flip flop on important issues ... chose Hillarry as his running mate ... as well as several other substantive factors.

Both myself and all my friends are jublilent over Sarah Palin, she is exactly what America needs to remind all American the need to return to common sense values, family values and enough of this weirdo stuff far too many democratics find charming.

Let me add one more thing. Why do some of you people have such a BIG problem with how gay people run their lives? Does it affect you? Do you actually know anyone who is gay? Let me tell you a few things. I'm about as straight as they come. I like racing, old cars, beer, and sports. I'm married, and like mowing the lawn, etc etc. My best friend also happens to be Gay.Not because I intentionally went out to find a gay friend, but because we worked together and had a lot on common. He likes the same things as I do and we enjoy each other's company. Before I knew him, I was somewhat wary of homosexuals. They made me uncomfortable. But now after having had this person as a friend, I fail to see the difference in hating gays and their lifestyles and another hating another race.
When I read comments about people who think Gays have no rights and talk about them as if they are not human, I kind of have to wonder if you actually know anyone who is gay. I bet you don't.Typically in society, we fear what we do not know, which this certainly qualifies. Who CARES if a gay couple gets married? Does the definition REALLY matter? Again- does it affect YOU? Does it hurt your feelings? I seriously don't get it.

First of all, I'm voting for Obama. But I watched the RNC with an open mind. Personally, I think Mccain is a smart, intelligent, and probably highly progressive republican. Out of all the speakers at the convention, he was probably the softest speaker there. Additionally, you can definitely tell that he doesn't actually agree with the Republican status quo or desired agenda either. He even mentioned that Republicans had lost the trust of the American people. ( did anyone notice how quite it got when he said that?)
What bothered me most was that the majority of the speakers before him brought ultra-conservative, Christian preaching to the stand along with abortion and a super-pro-militaristic stance. These people are really out of touch with reality. I can just about guarantee that the Mccain that didn't get elected last time doesn't believe most of the crap a lot of the other speakers were saying. That to me tells me that he's willing to either be a puppet, or simply shed the disguise and return to being a liberal republican as soon as he's sworn in.
I'm sorry, but after having grown up in a super conservative area where people generally were OK with who you were and what you thought, NONE of those at the RNC represented anything I'd call valuable. This is why I do not believe in Republicans.
