Does this mean I'm not a racist any more for preferring Clinton over Obama?

Bozo10:20AMMay 20th 2008

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA ARE COUNTED.
Michelle said what that "this is the first time, I have been proud to be an American" regardless her denial of the statement. I will vote Republican if Obama gets the democratic nomination.

Bozo10:23AMMay 20th 2008

IF OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATED WINNER...I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN. MICHELLE SAID WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT BEING A PROUD AMERICAN FOR THE FIRST TIME...THEN SHE DENIED THE STATEMENT. HE HAS 2 YEARS OF DOING NOTHING
IN THE SENATE AND THAT IS ALL HE HAS DONE TO DESERVE ANY POST.

Clinton can't even run a simple primary campaign. A good CEO knows how to balance expenses against revenue. Her campaign is more than $20 million in debt. Now she wants to do for the country what she did for her campaign. No way, Bush already did that for us for 8 years. Hillary will be another tax and spend, and borrow and spend running up the national debt and deficit. McCain borrowed $6 million from Arizona bank for his capaign, he proposed summer gas tax holiday without money to pay for it, other than add it to the national debt. So, McCain is another novice when it comes to the economy. Strong economy equates to strong national security and both Clinton and McCain can't get us there. What also worries me is all these lobbyist in every corner of McCain's campaign. Five of the lobbyist stepped down this past week with the agreement with McCain that they will be given cabinet posts in his administration. What a shame! None of the candidates is sqeeky clean, but Obama appears to be relatively the cleanest.

We want a full-blooded American for President-If Hillary doesn't get it we will all vote Republican.

norrdebb10:42AMMay 20th 2008

norrdebb10:45AMMay 20th 2008

GOD made them when he made everyone else, doesnt anyone ever think about the ten commandments anymore?? love thy neighbor as thyself, i love everyone, race or whatever, i just dont like for the illegals to come over here and steal, again, says in the BIBLE, thou shalt not steal, you break one youve broken them all.america, wake up, if americans go to mexico, they will be put in jail and be beaten, what are we trying to do to them????? i say go home, i have nothing against them, they just dont belong here.

Gary Boggess10:47AMMay 20th 2008

I have been searching the web for insight concerning the next presidential election. In my searching and reading... it was EASY to figure out why I didn't want Hillary in the White House because I was able to examine REAL substance concerning her current views and positions, and weigh the evidence of "what she said" with "what she actually did" in her past political performance. Without going into detail, I was able to discern WHAT she stands for, and form my responses to it. I was also satisfied to follow the same process with McCain. BOTH have a past I can examine. BOTH (on most issues), are fairly clear about who they are and what they'd do IF elected. As a result... I have declared myself a political orphan this election. I have concluded that THIS election is a sham of unprecedented dimensions. Here we are in the midst of the worst problems we've ever faced, and we've got THREE JOKERS running for president.

So... what's left? Obama. Well I've been watching Obama. And although I think he's a very good oratator, speaker, presenter and he LOOKS like someone who has it together, I am stumped to explain to myself HOW this man could sit in a clearly racist church for 20 years. I mean... here's a guy who is offering us CHANGE. He's also offering LEADERSHIP... and he claims that he's qualified to make critical decisions for the country. But after hearing Rev. Wright's hate- teach, Obama just sat there for TWENTY YEARS! It doesn't take a wrecking ball for me to see; that if Obama couldn't pick his ass up and leave that church 19 1/2 years ago, that he is no leader. He didn't CHANGE his church affiliations. He didn't CHANGE his racist political associations. He didn't CHANGE his support for men who OBVIOUSLY supported and even awarded Louis Farakhan, an anti-semite, anti-white racist "Man of the Year" 2007! And Obama didn't CHANGE ANYTHING until the media & public opinion FORCED him to. And I'm sorry... but that nice little "B&W racial" speech he gave in Philadelphia just didn't FIX IT for me. WORDS mean things... and if they do... DEEDS precede and follow. As far as I'm concerned, Obama is 19 1/2 years too late.

So... as a result... I have been looking for reasons WHY people believe in this man who obviously doesn't BELIEVE HIS OWN SPEAK!!! Because if he did, the above two paragraphs wouldn't need written.

I have been looking for substance concerning Obama's claims for CHANGE. And I can't come up with substantive comparable's to Hitlary or McLame. Obama offers us a collection of empty political rhetoric tantamount to political vapor-ware! No Substance. No history to support it. Nothing but ambiguous WORDS. I'm sorry... being a good speaker isn't a qualification for being a leader, much less a President!

I searched the web, and I "GET IT" that Obama is offering CHANGE. BUT WHAT CHANGE? Obama has yet to define it. I can't define it. Nobody can. Promises are one thing. HOW is another. I emailed a few of my black friends in Ohio... and they told me they're as lost as I am concerning Obama. WHAT CHANGE are we looking for and if things CAN BE CHANGED, does it matter HOW anyone DOES IT??

GERMANY got "CHANGE" once... and it wasn't a good change. I see that Obama proposed a house bill proposing that the American people commit to paying over $850-billion in handouts to "a world poverty tax." Are we going to do that while we're chasing our own families out of their homes due to foreclosure because there's no jobs left here? Talk about NAFTA taking jobs away and allowing corporate fascism to control our government, and leaving Americans with no jobs and a run away inflationary economy headed into depression!!! READ THIS!>>

WHAT DOES OBAMA MEAN WHEN HE SAYS THE WORD, CHANGE!!!????? And when he refers to these changes... HOW does he justify doing it? You might be tired of the same old Washington CRAP. I sure am. I'm for change BIG TIME! But WHAT change are we talking about!!???

THINK10:54AMMay 20th 2008

HAD THE BIASED MEDIA NOT PROTECTED OBAMA BEFORE OVER HALF OF AMERICA HAD VOTED --- HE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS RACE!

HE STILL HAS NOT EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT HE WILL DO AND HOW HE WILL DO IT!!! HE HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES!!! HE MAKES GREAT SPEECHES --- BUT HE IS JUST AN EMPTY SUIT!!!

Has Obama gone completely wacko?

Telling the American people not to speak of his anti-American wife is insulting and a huge mistake. She has spoken out against our country. She is fair game! He has no right to say, “Lay off my wife”. We don’t need a dictator!

Complaining about President Bush will not get him votes. Obama is offering to “debate” President Bush — President Bush is not running for President — Hillary Clinton and John McCain are!!! Why wouldn't he debate Hillary before Indiana and North Carolina?

There are lots of us hard-working, blue collar Americans who don’t want to raise taxes! Obama does! He and his wealthy, elitist associates will never understand "most" Americans.

We don’t have 57 states! But we should include the voters in Florida and Michigan.

What country is Obama running in?

Don’t forget all his ties to terrorists and anti-Americans (including his wife)!

He is a cry-baby and a whiner! Keep his finger away from that button! He’s not strong enough to stand up against our enemies. He says he will meet with them “without preconditions” — doesn’t sound like he plans to protect us!

His inexperience and reckless judgment are a danger to ALL Americans!

Will they take us from “within”? Don’t forget 9/11?

debbie10:55AMMay 20th 2008

this just came to mind while reading more comments, as all the americans know, if one is voted in and the americans arent satisfied of how they are running the country, we can vote them right back out, remember that. and david, i didnt mean any of what i said to offend you, was just saying what i thought, lol

seemickeyskate10:57AMMay 20th 2008

OBAMA ALL THE WAY. Forget what yall talking about. We the American people are ready and definately need a change. We don't need a crybaby who will let their emotions get in the way of running this country. Bush has messed us up bad enough. We are still gonna be feeling Bush syndrome in the year 2015. WE WANT CHANGE! WE WANT CHANGE!

MJG2210:58AMMay 20th 2008

HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS IN KENTUCKY, OREGON, MONTANA,
SOUTH DAKOTA AND PUERTO RICO.
DON’T LET THE TALKING HEADS IN THE MEDIA CHOOSE OUR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE:

From the outset of this campaign, the biased Media has been making the case for Barack Obama as the likely nominee of the Democratic Party on the flawed assumption that Florida and Michigan voters will not be counted. This will never happen. It never has in the past and will not happen now. The Democratic Party can not and will not disenfranchise 2.5 million voters. If they did, they would be defeating the very premise that the Party was founded on and that is that EVERY VOTE MUST COUNT.
It is the DEMOCRATIC MANTRA, as well and just it should be.

When Florida and Michigan are validated their delegates will be seated and the magic number will be 2210 not 2026. In light of critical wins and popular votes she has already amassed, Hillary Clinton is honor bound to take this campaign to the floor of the convention. At this time, delegates pledged before the convention will also have the opportunity to reassess their position and change their votes if they wish to do so. They are not duty bound to honor their previous pledges. This would be the time to find out if Barack Obama really has the support of most pledged delegates, particularly those he
manipulated in the caucus states. Hillary supporters, stay strong, there is too much at stake in this election. Make your voices heard, We ARE GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION.

dfalso11:03AMMay 20th 2008

I can't wait to see Obama facing the press corps when he is president. He doesn't know how to answer questions posed to him directly. He doesn't do well in small groups as he might have to look someone in the eye and answer their question. He loves the huge crowds of people, the sea of faces without eyes that he can preach to. They are not individuals to him, but mass admirers....devoted followers. This is going to be one interesting Presidency if he gets it. I'm scared.

Pennsylvania Voter11:05AMMay 20th 2008

http://www.floridademandsrepresentation.org/PETITIONS.html

SIGN ABOVE PETITION TO HAVE FLORIDA VOTES COUNT. MARCH ON WASHINGTON MAY 31.

Protest the undemocratic sick rule of the DNC, Dean, Palosi and Obama blocking revote and/or votes being counted in Michigan and Florida.

Do you know that one superdelegate party elite insider's vote equals over a million of each of our real voter individual votes? Pretty sick isn't it?

THE DNC HAS RUINED OUR PARTY AND OBAMA WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER IN PROTEST VOTE OVER THE DNC ANTICS.

WE WANT ONLY VOTERS EACH INDIVIDUAL VOTE IN ALL 50 STATES IN THE UNITED STATES TO COUNT.

WHO VOTED IN DEAN? WHO VOTED IN PALOIS EXCEPT THE FEW IN HER DISTRICT, WHO VOTED FOR SUPERDELEGATE PARTY ELITE TO GET SUCH POWER VOTES - NOT ME!

Donate to Hillary now in protest to what the DNC is doing as I am going to do. Show them that we put dollars behind our protest.

EACH AND EVERY VOTER VOTE SHOULD BE COUNTED AND WILL PROTEST BY NOT VOTING AT ALL IN NOVEMBER. OBAMA IF NOT FAIRLY NOMINATED WILL LOSE - HIS AND THE DNC ANTICS HAVE RUINED OUR PARTY.

Lnstarmom11:07AMMay 20th 2008

The Republicans pretending to be Democrats on here are so funny. No Democrat could choose McCain over Obama. This year is a real choice...McCain is not the same candidate he was in 2000 and the Mavrick is no more. Look at his voting record recently...listen to what he says about conservative judicial appointments and most of all his positions on Iraq and Iran! Don't pretend to be a Democrat if you plan to vote for McCain...

Marj11:07AMMay 20th 2008

Sen. Barack Obama in his own words.

From his book; The Audacity of Hope

"I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WIND SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION".....

From his book: Dreams of my Father

"I CEASED TO ADVERISE MY MOTHER'S (WHITE) RACE AT THE AGE OF 1 2 OR 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"

" I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S (WHITE) RACE".

"The emotion between the races could never be pure.....THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART"

" I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S (WHITE) RACE".

THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART"

This is the must read article I found at RCP that completely undermines Obama's arguement that Kennedy, Reagan, and Nixon all talked to our enemies. Check it out http://tinyurl.com/59of3w

Why don't you check out Obama's voting record? It speaks volumes!

Gary Boggess11:10AMMay 20th 2008

Obama promises change? WHAT CHANGE? Obviouslt, we've become so appathetic, lazy, defeated, worn down and tired that we've reduced our expectations to sooth saying platitudes. Pie in the sky. Obama... WHERE is the evidence that he's changed anything whatsoever. There isn't any.
SO... we BLAH BLAH. Let's vote for who's got the best BLAH BLAH. 'Cause that's what we deserve. And this next election... WE WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL DESERVE and it's not going to be anything good. We've lost our stomach to stand for anything. Our enemies know it. And trust me... if you think you can TALK to them diplomatically... then I hope whatever you're smoking keeps you real numb for what happens afterwards. Because our enemies don't want our country, our cars, our land, our jewels, our gold, our technologies, our music, our medicine, or our women. All they want is our death and our destruction. You can blame whom ever it is if it makes you feel good about it, good about yourself or good about your party/politics... but the fact is, the rest of the world doesn't see things the way you & I do. They see ONE thing... America is divided, weak, spoiled and tired and once they figure out that we've got no stomach left... they'll put us out of our misery once and for all. If we don't get smart and wake up soon, it'll be OVER WITH soon enough. They warned us a long time ago that they would defeat us from within... and they're right on schedule.
