Making Obama look Unpatriotic

[Skibo]

Are people still so freakin' racist in this country that the thought of a black president is that much of a problem? Holy freakin' crap. I must live under a rock.

Racism is so 20th century.

In that case, the people of Pennsylvania are definately a bunch of racists.
They had an African-American candidate for governor in 2006 (his name happens to be Lynn Swann-THE Lynn Swann), and he was soundly defeated.

OH WAIT-I forgot!
He had an "R" after his name.
How dare he! What a race-traitor.

I still have a Swann bumper sticker on my truck.

ah....the race card (actually hate that term by the way)!! If I don't vote for/support Obama, I am a racist? That seems to be a common reply to nonsupport of Obama.

When race is not mentioned at all in a political campaign is when racism will truly be a non-issue....

No. I can name three off the top of my head that I would campaign for regardless of which party nominated them.

JC Watts, Colin Powell and Jerome G. Cooper.

And Clarence Thomas.

It's certainly not an issue for me. I wish people on both sides would STFU about race and use the time to talk to me about issues (which I'm not hearing nearly enough of..... )

GAWD I HATE POLITICS....


(I've known caucasians I wouldn't follow out of a burning building and people of color I'd follow to the very gates of hell.... skin color is so IRRELEVENT!!! I care about the 'color' of a person's character, not his skin!)

There has been method to their madness.

Much of those large Republican deficits (and debt) resulted from cutting taxes to get elected to office while simultaneously 'giving' money to their friends in the military-industrial complex.

It's an old formula that works very well: START A WAR - GET FILTHY RICH.

Then there's those of us with JOBS who don't worry about the economy.

But, for those who like to worry about it, here's ANOTHER novel idea-
CUT TAXES FOR ALL TAXPAYERS, AND HAVE THE C.S.ERS IN WASHINGTON
C-U-T
G-O-V-E-R-N-M-E-N-T
S-P-E-N-D-I-N-G!!!

The illegals & welfare queens will just have to find someone else to sponge off of.

Garry I have a job, and I worry like hell about the economy.....

I didn't bring up the race card. It was in response to the idea that even if elected, he might not make it to inauguration because of assassination risk (due to race...).

I should hope that people who don't support him do so because they don't like his politics. It's no different than saying I won't vote for Bushy because he's from Texas or something.

It is really quite sad that we've let white men run our country for 200 years. I love white men, don't get me wrong, but I'm tired of vanilla!

Yeah. He's a winner.

If the (R) party was smart, they'd be running an uberconservative black dude. Oh wait, Condi Rice already has a job.

Wow....talk about a racist comment....but, of course, according to you, race should have nothing to do with the election....hhhummmm....interesting

They obviously are against teaching sarcasm in Republican school.

Bush = bad on the economy. Bad economy = lower interest rate on debt. Me = lots of debt!! Bush = McCain = little economic recovery = continued lower interest rates = one more taxpayer just holding his head above water...because I sure don't think I'm ever going to see a tax cut that benefits me. No "race issues" here! <giggle>

Just curious, but how is lower interest rates on debt a bad thing? If I owe money and the interest rate is lower, that means my payments are lower, which means I spend less money on debt service, which means I have more money to save or invest or spend on other things, which is good for the economy. I'm not an economist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

.....yeah....that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a silver-lining. While it doesn't apply to fixed rates, flexible-interest loans do see a benefit.

Obama is NOT unpatrotic. I just do not agree with his plan for America

I think I saw an American flag pin on his lapel last night. Wonder where he lost it?

He made a good point in his speech last night that when you have no new ideas to present and no positive record to stand on you use fear and attacks to keep people from looking at something different. Unfortunately it's worked too well in the past. And I'm done looking at these political threads, they give me heartburn.
