snip long list of reasons to vote for Obama


It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of
firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to
be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.





I hadn't realised you were one of his supporters. He certainly seems
to
be
the
only one of the three that won't end up destroying your country.

Isn't it nice to be given a real choice of direction?

Before you get too certain about it, check today's news about what the
Catholic Priest said yesterday at Obama's church. The priest apparently
doesn't like white people in general, and Hillary in particular. If I
were
Obama, I'd have him stuffed and mounted immediately. g

However this looks from over there, Mark, it ain't. There is no way you
could catch the flavor of this from across the pond. You can follow the
BBC,
the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and anything else you
want,
but you won't get the true flavor. It's like pins and needles.

But it is Obama's to lose. The sputtering antagonism you may see here
is
the
work of the very conservative dead-enders who tend to hang out here.
They'd
might as well be ****ing upwind.

Don't be too sure. The election is not a national one but a state by
state
one. If you start adding up the states that are going to go for McCain
for
sure you will see that he's going to win quite a few of them. We saw what
happened in 2000 when the states fell the wrong way and Bush got into the
White House. It's not that big a stretch for McCain do the same thing
because you can never underestimate the racism that is alive and well in
this country. While "liberals" will gladly vote for a black, Hispanic,
Asian, or anything else that isn't the case with conservatives and
independents. When it comes down to actually voting for a black man for
president I can see a lot of white people pulling the handle for McCain
at
the last minute. Just look at the 90% of black voters that Obama gets,
you
can't tell me that's not about race. To think the whites are any
different
is a fantasy. So I wouldn't be all that surprised to see McCain win
because
as advanced as America likes to pretend it is it may still be too racist
to
vote a black man into the presidency. If McCain were to win that would be
the final nail in America's coffin. Bush did most of the job and McCain
would polish it off. It could happen.

Let's see if I understand liberal thought.....

It is NOT racist for a black to vote for Obama because he's black....but it
IS racist to NOT vote for Obama because he's black.

It is NOT sexist for a woman to vote for Clinton because she is a
woman....but it IS sexist to NOT vote for Clinton because she is a woman.

It IS racist for a white person to vote for McCain because he is
white....but it is NOT racist for a black person to NOT vote for McCain
because he is white.


I've always said that if anything IS considered a valid reason to vote FOR
someone, then it should be considered just as valid a reason to NOT vote
for them.

Someone else is setting the rules.....I'm just following the rules that
some others seem to be playing by.
