I AM A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT,BUT IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN, AND I WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR THE HOUSE AND SENATE.I FEEL THAT HAVING A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND A DEMOCRAT HOUSE AND SENATE WOULD BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Thanks for screaming that at us, John. Now that I know how you'll vote in November, I can sleep at night.

And besides, hating black people is SOOO last century. don't you know it's hip to hate Mexicans now?

J Boyd, how did you get "hating black people" out of John's post?

Barack's attack dogs are rabid.

Talk about paranoid that would be J Boyd. Nowhere did I get anything about racial hatred except from YOU, J Boyd. Yes, they are rabid Davidg.
With Joe Andrews as a SD for Obama we can expect more union attacks due to his past connections with labor leaders. Wall Street attacks may come too since he is a Washington lawyer who has represented many Fortune 1000 companies.
Nice job Justin.

I'm not rabid, folks. I've been tested, everything's fine :)

Because, I'm sorry but, voting for McCain simply because Obama may get the nom is just ridiculous. It's cutting off your nose to spite your face. And you can sacchrine-coat it and deny it all you want, the main reason people won't vote for him is because he's BLACK. Come on, you really think people are stupid? Well, yes, you do. Eight years of Bush can attest to that, I guess.

You are willing to flush universal health care, lower gas prices, better schools, a stronger WELL_TRAINED military, protection of our ports and nuclear plants, effective foreign policy and the chance to bring our allies in Europe back into the fold because of a man's skin color? And don't go all "Reverend Wright" on me-- he's been exposed as a narcissistic buffoon. And as far as Rezko is concerned...please, he's an amateur. You want some real real estate corruption, try visiting New York sometime.

None of your arguments hold any water. It just comes down to one thing-- "He's black, so I'll vote for the white guy who'll continue to rob the coffers and hate his fellow Americans because they don't look like him or believe the same things he does. I'll vote for the guy who joyfully accepts the endorsement of a gluttonous racist pig like Hagee than the man who turned his back on his own racist pastor. I'll vote for the guy who'll keep sending my sons and daughters over the fight an illegal war that will bankrupt the richest country on the planet as long as he ain't BLACK."

How's that for rabid?

So if anyone refuses to vote for Obama they will now be labeled a racist. I'm not voting for Obama because he's black (he's actually milato), I'm not voting for Obama because he is a leftist and a Marxist. The proof is in his voting record, his core beliefs and the friends that he keeps(especially ones he disavows). If Obama followed his pastor for all of those years without knowing who Wright really was, what does that say about his judgement? How will he go to Iran (another example of his poor judgement), look Ahmadenijad in the eye, and make a sound judgement as to that scumbag's true intentions?

"I'm not voting for Obama because he is a leftist and a Marxist."

He is neither, kevin. Obama is an FDR democrat. And that made FDR what, a Commie? Cuz that's what he was called in his day.

As far as Wright is concerned...well, I loved my racist grandmother. You wouldn't believe the things that came out of her mouth. But I loved her anyway.

And as I pointed out, Obama turned his back on his friend, a "friend" who did what he could to politically assassinate Obama because his pride got wounded. McCain happily accepted the endorsement of Reverend Hagee, whose hatred is just as toxic as Wright's, but with a diffrence: Wright's congregation consisted of 8000 people. Hagee's IMMEDIATE congregation numbers 19,000, PLUS another 2 million television viewers around the world. Who's spreading the hate faster and further, hmm?

Here's the thing, kevin-- do you really think Hil cares about you? Or McCain for that matter? Hillary has turned this into her White Whale. This isn't about the good of the country, it's all about HER. And she's played the race card all through this race, subtly and not so subtly.

Maybe we need a person to look into the eyes of a maniac like Ahmadenijad rather than talk about wiping an entire nation off the map without talking to him once and laying down some ground rules. Oh, I know, what a Leftist/Marxist idea. I'm not talking about negotiating with terrorists--I'm talking about rallying our allies around us again so we can ALL go talk to him.

I've had enough of Bushes and Clintons. I'm willing to take a risk. What the hell else do we have to lose in this country anymore? Gas at $4 bucks a gallon, food prices going up, mortgage crises, the auto industry imploding, jobs going overseas, our government being infiltrated by religious dogma every single day, corporate bailouts, Bush cronies getting slaps on the wrist, tax breaks for the wealthy, dismal health care no one can afford, our children learning leet speak instead of English, Paris Hilton...

Oh god...

I may never have the America my parents had, but I want to try goddammit. I'm tired of having my vote go to waste election after election, year after year. I'm tired of a government who takes it upon itself to tell me what to believe and what I can do with my own body, based upon nothing but superstition and fantasy. I'm tired of politicians taking my money and spending it on an illegal war when the bridges and roads in my own country are falling apart. I'm tired of having the Constitution of the United States used as toilet paper by oil-hungry robber barons. I'm tired of not having a voice in a government that is supposedly "by the people, FOR the people" which, if you really listen to it, smacks just a tad of socialism, doesn't it?

Wow, now I know where the kids get it from. How can a "life long democrat" suddenly switch sides? Maybe because McCain and his pastor will have us in and out of IRAN in less than 5 years. "we'll never have to send our military into the middle east again" The war for oil, ol' senile Johnny boy has loose lips and is a loose cannon!!!! Just what this world needs!!!!!!!!!
