It is very sad that someone, in order to get votes, has convinced an entire population of poor that their life will be great just by taking money from the rich. So as a nation we now think that money solves all ills. Sad stuff.

We watched that debate,We did not think anything wrong of it.
It seems to us..Barak Hussien Obama has to be protected.He cannot stand on his own,cannot be open and truthful with us.
Yes he should be AHEAD in polls..
They are taken in Dem.Lib areas.
They are worded for him.
And with all the work ACORN had done,for a few years now.. bringing in illegals and signing them up telling them how to vote.
No one questions him or them..no one faces charges..HEY this guy ha it made!

With out all this, he would not be where he is.
Look at his list of accomplishments..2 or 3?

Its sooooo "historical"...PLEAS E.. its crimminal..
is what it all is.

maybe I have just missed it, but when has Senator Obama actually used race to his advantage? Yes, his dark skin lets everyone know that he is of Africian decent and yes, to achieve what he has as a man of color is remarkable. But he isn't or hasn't said to anyone vote for me because of the color of my skin and I'll take you all to the promise land. You all need to come off that lie.

I am proud of the fact that the gentleman embraces his whiteness and his blackness because both races makes him who he is. However the color of his skin doesn't define him as a man.

Obama crys racism almost daily. If he is not trying to use race to his advantage. Then why even bring it up???
Yes we all know hes black and white. So he needs to grow up and quit being such a cry baby. I personally think scumbag works.

Where do you get your information from? Fox (Faux) News? McCain is the real villian here. He's the one that associates with scum like Bush, Charles Keating, Phil Gramm, etc. At least Obama is focusing on the issues, and not desperate name calling like McCain. And Sarah Palin, Ugh! No qualifications at all to speak of. McCain was really scraping the bottom of the barrel on that one.

Maybe you don't live in the same America as I do, but racism is alive and kicking butt every single day. But Seantor Obama has NEVER to MY hearing "cry racism or use race to his advantage"

Max, my friend, racism has reared its ugly head through this campaign. It is a fact, a fact and a fact and some of the "veiled" ways the repugrats have voiced their racism is despicable.

If there is as much bigotry and racism in this country as seen in the rallies and on these threads, racism is a huge factor for some.

The only test we can ask ourselves going into the voting booth is:

Despite color, age, smears, fears, and lies, am I voting for the best candidate who will fix this country?

Guess we will have to see if America is smarter than a fifth grader!

I have seen it myself. But I understand that your vision is clouded by partisan blindness. Its hard to see fault if your not looking for it.

That being said. I must say that Mccain sucks almost as bad as Obama.

And you know why? Because the Republican party now is not the party that my fellow Kentuckian, Abe Lincoln, knew. It's become a joke. I'm not saying the Democratic Party is perfect by any means, but look at the difference. Unless you're clouded by partisan blindness.

I agree with you that the party has gone to heck. I would take it one step futher to say that both parties are bad and corrupt. I do not like eaither one of the candidates. Nor do I think eaither one is going to be able to fix this countrys problems. So therefore I am voting for Mccain. This is based only on race. Thats right race. I see nothing good in eaither of them so it comes down to race in my case.

Well, supposedly, it's a free country, and I admire your honesty. Not your decision, but your honesty. I hope you're not too disappointed when you wake up on November 5. BTW, Obama's mother was white.

LOL ... based on race. I hope ALL of white America reads this since everyone feels that black America is only voting for Obama because he is black since white America seems to so easily forget that his mother is white and he was raised by his white grandparents. So what you are saying is, you can't get past Senator Obama's SKIN COLOR, not his race!
