"She is the only one of the 4 with ANY executive experience. She's more qualified than Obama and all his "present" votes in the Senate."

Agreed 100%

Hey...I'll be the first to admit, all 4 peeps in the race are not ideal....but no Obama says my momma.

Ronald Reagan was fond of saying that the United States of America is the only country on Earth, now or at any time in history, that was founded not on race or nationality, but on an ideal.

He was also fond of using racialized dog whistle politics, most prominently invoking apocryphal "cadillac driving welfare queens," and declaring his unwavering support of "states rights," in all places 1960s Philadelphia, Mississippi - where the bodies of three murdered civil rights workers were hardly cold.
The Republican Party is no longer the party of Honest Abe.
Its the party of Jesse Helms and Rush Limbaugh, who has routinely called Obama "the little black man-child" and played parody songs with titles like "Barack the Magic Negro."

With any luck, McCain will win and switch back to his moderate 2000 self and restore some much needed sanity to what is increasingly a fringe party.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS FOUNDED SOLEY ON THE BASIS OF FIGHTING SLAVERY! THE DEMS FOUGHT THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

and how far the gop has come from their founding ideals!

[conversationpc]

Oh, cut the crap. You guys are getting voyeuristic with this.

I mean, McCain - a man I deeply admire and campaigned for in South Carolina in 2000 - IS worth billions of dollars thanks to his wife, DOES own eight or nine houses...Obama is born into poverty, to a single mother, gets an academic scholarship to college and law school, TURNS DOWN dozens of high paying Wall Street jobs to serve the people...and HE is the elitist? That is absurd. It doesn't even qualify as "opinion". It's just bullshit.

What it comes down to is that a lot of Republicans - are racists. I don't believe you are, RWF, but there are some posters here who clearly are.

Most of the homophobic and/or racist comments I've seen on this board have come from liberals. I know just as many bigots in real life who are Democrat as I do Republican. Your comment is horseshit.

[WIX]

I figured he would pick Mitt. Hmm

But for Christs sake she was born in the same state as me and her story is real close to mine, plus she is very attractive.

3 votes from me!

You'd think that our schools wouldn't be this bad with all the money we've spent on education. 7 must have slept through American history.

Look it up 7.

History doesn't count in this matter. It's a well known fact that in the CURRENT state of the two political parties, the Republicans are much more bigoted and racist than the Democrats. The far-right faction of the GOP are mostly redneck bigots who would never vote for a black, a gay, a Jew, an Arab, a Mexican, or anyone else who doesn't look and act like they do.

Racism according to Merriam-Webster is defined as:

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
Date: 1936
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

I live in the South. Every last racist I have met has been of the traditional southern Republican conservative ilk.

parody songs with titles like "Barack the Magic Negro."

That song was born from an op ed piece in the LA Times.

And before you start spewing your venomous (and warrantless) attacks on Obama, try FINDING OUT THE TRUTH FIRST.

I've heard a bunch of people say that Obama is going to be forced to n*****-rig the economy to get it back on track after Bush destroyed it. I have to admit, that one is kind of funny even though I am an Obama supporter. He would probably even get a chuckle out of it himself.

The black race in America has been let down by race hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They have perpetuated poverty, welfare and government dependence. Keeping a large portion of blacks poor and ignorant keeps them employed and rich. Republicans have had nothing to do with black people being held back. The same cannot be said about the aforementioned parasites.

[Voyager]

I agree... especially Jesse Jackson. He is a pure hypocrite who has done nothing to help the blacks. All he does is incite hatred and race wars.

Al Sharpton is much less hard-edge than Jackson, and I would consider him pretty much harmless. Also, I like Al's jokes. He was great in Mr. Deeds.

I am well aware of this.
Unlike you guys, I actually listen to the countervailing winds of opinion.

Like most of the GOP’s use of racialized tactics, there retains just enough plausible deniability to let it slip by, but they know all-too-well exactly what they’re trying to do.
It’s the same reason the McCain campaign leaped at the chance to make political hay out of Obama’s alleged use of the race card.

You don't know jack shit about my listening habits. I started out listening to talk radio by hearing both sides of the spectrum, Barry Farber's show and Colmes' show immediately afterward. The only liberal crap I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to was that tripe on Air America.

Here is a headline about McCain froma few months ago, which explains his VP choice:

"McCain: Surprisingly Immature, Erratic And Impulsive At 72."

Obama made a very intelligent and wise choice when he chose Joe Biden for his VP. McCain made an impulse decision trying to play on the fact that Hillary didn't get nominated for president or VP. He just grabbed some woman he doesn't even know and said, "Here you go America, if Obama won't give you a woman, I will."

His chances of winning now are just barely above zero.

Reports claim he only met her ONCE before putting her just a heartbeat away from the highest office in the land.
More disturbing than this offchance quirk of whimsy, is McCain's long time reliance of lucky trinkets; carrying with him at times a lucky feather, lucky rabbit's foot, lucky compass, and certain denominations of coins.

Not so sure I want the decision to hit the red button depending on a random shake of the magic eight ball.

Thanks for the link.
I find the first comment especially elucidative: "They should rename Obama: Negro Clown"

Gee, any takers on who he is gonna vote for?

I thought he'd select on of the two female republican senators from Maine. Of course they don't have the "hottness" factor going for them, now giving the uneducated voters a choice of the ticket with a former beauty contestant or a knuckle-bumping preacher of change.
I can't wait for the "Entertainment Tonight" presidential poll.

[Eric]

Obama already admitted and made it clear executive decisions are "above his paygrade." It's the only factual and accurate thing he's said so far. Voting "present" in the senate is more his speed.

Oh, cut the crap. You guys are getting voyeuristic with this.

I mean, McCain - a man I deeply admire and campaigned for in South Carolina in 2000 - IS worth billions of dollars thanks to his wife, DOES own eight or nine houses...Obama is born into poverty, to a single mother, gets an academic scholarship to college and law school, TURNS DOWN dozens of high paying Wall Street jobs to serve the people...and HE is the elitist? That is absurd. It doesn't even qualify as "opinion". It's just bullshit.

I believe Obama did what he did because he's a socialist. Thats what he believes in....

MAN! I couldn't agree anyore. White liberals feel guilty for some reason and want to give to Minorities. White Republicans feel everyone is equal and should work for what they want...and that 150 was too fuckin' long ago! Democrats have been an awful party for Minorities, but because the GOP doesn't sound caring, they stick with the libs
