Pick another reason to dislike Obama, it's not because he's Muslim. And your kidding yourself if you don't think his skin color makes a difference.

But Obama is a skinny suit of rhetoric as compared to McCain's hefty suit. So by pure physics we can deduce that Obama spouts less rhetoric...

Why don't we get real here and just admit that the hardcore Republican's will never say anything good about Obama and the hardcore Democrats will never say anything good about McCain. It's all about the PARTY. But as an Independent, not tied to Party loyalties, I can evaluate and make a pick based on what America needs at this point in time and it's not McCain. Sorry guys and gals.

I am a Libetarian so I can find little to agree with that Obama has to say. He IS a socialist when you sort thru his rhetoric. And shiny or not an empty suit is still.......... an empty suit. Lots of pretty words, very eloquent... But clueless when it comes to how to implement the pie in the sky ideas. This guy is so unprepared and inexperience it would be laughable if it were not so serious.

I agree you have a right to an opinion.

Your generalizations don't hold any water. If anyone votes for someone or against someone based on their race and only their race, then it's not a standard we should be shooting for, but there you go somehow trying to defend it.

so tell me how all these great ideas he is promoting are going to either be implemented or paid for.

and please do not use the spin some use that he would end the war and we could use that money. that is borrowed money so it does not count. we already are going broke because of a bloated govt so how can anybody seriously think the way to a better country is to spend more. shit, i would like a 30' boat and a cottage on the lake. i could probably pull that off for a few months and then go bankrupt. this is what our govt is doing, and both parties are complicit. the only guy that would have made a serious attempt to right the ship was Ron Paul. The guy who was for following the constitution and got labled a kook

You loosing your cool? I've never implied or insinuated it's only bad if it happens to Obama. I just had to finally spell it out for some of the thicker skulls around here.

Oh, I don't know. Speaking of "paid for", why don't you tell me why you supported Bush and Company for 7 years of thoroughly reckless deficit spending? You know the Republicans, who are supposed to fiscally conservative and responsible? Another, "his heart is in the right place no matter how much he trashes the country" supporter?

First of all, I didn't try to defend anything--if I want to defend something, I won't try, I'll do it.

Second, the point I was making which you completely missed is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with voting for someone because there is something you have in common with them (such as race). The issue of racism goes to your reasons--there are positive, negative, and neutral reasons to focus on race. My point with regard to Lieberman was that there are many Jewish people who feel something in common with Lieberman and would vote for him on that basis. There are plenty of black people who would vote for Obaman because they have something in common with him--nothing wrong with that. But as soon as a white person votes for a white person for the same reason, you liberals are ready to villainize the person as a racist--you throw the race card around so often that you perpetuate the divides that exist!

not rude at all...actually to be honest after I typed that out I thought the same as you...just never got around to changing it....but you know, regardless of Mccain or Barack I think we'll end up with the same crap from the US as we have always had. Its our leadership that needs to be better so we don't need to care as much as we do.
