To the Democrats it means a lot, especially since they have a candidate of their own with no damn experience. Back to the Obama campaign, he has simply bought the whole election and the votes, by buying the media (tv stations, newspapers), by buying people (that are well known in this country), by buying hollywood (who I don't really care about) and by buying votes (ACORN, and other organizations).
Wouldn't technically the people bought this election for Obama, since we are the ones who gave Obama the money to buy the ad buys? Your misinformed. How is Obama buying votes with ACORN? How does having Mickey Mouse and Tony Romo registered in odd places to vote help Obama? That was just a volunteer being lazy, and not doing their job, stealing ACORN's money.
CK, there are so many odd things about this post, I hardly know where to start. I certainly respect your conservative views and your desire to vote for Mccain, but to argue that some people will vote for Obama because they feel "pressured" by those that would otherwise call them "racist" is ridiculous. Voting is anonymous. How can anyone call anyone anything when no one has the right to learn how anyone else votes? You are free to do as your conscious demands. And I don't know what it means that "Democrats use the race cards 95% of the time."
This is the #1 conversation amongst Americans regarding this election (proving that people can occasionally think independently of the media if the topic is obvious enough). People will vote however they want, but how big is the gap between that and what people tell pollsters? Lots of people are trying to assign a percentage to this, but there is no way to be sure until the election is over. It's like diagnosing Alzheimer's. You can diagnose it to an inch from certainty based on the symptoms, but the only way to confirm it is during an autopsy.
I think you calling Barack Obama a Muslim, and trying to put a negative connotation on the word Muslim has more to do with people calling you a racist than you voting for McCain.
Right; we don't know how accurate the polls are. But I don't know anyone who would call someone a "racist" just because they don't vote for Obama. Narrowminded, foolish--they come to mind.
I'm not calling him a Muslim, I could care less what he is, but his middle name is Husein, he cannot drop the name now that he's running, and he's the one trying to portray the Muslims as bad people because he quick to say that "he's not muslim, but a "good" christian".
I lived in rural South Carolina, and a lot of people there would go out of their way to disassociate themselves with the appearance of racism around me because they think all Northerners are constantly judging them. These people are not dumb. They realize that what you say is true - that the election is about hundreds of issues and a vote can be earned for a million different reasons. But in their heads, there is always this nagging feeling that the way they talk and where they are from will cause others to think they are racist if they openly support McCain. It's not even logical, but I can see it happening a lot down there.
A friend of mine once said (about this election, and whether or not someone voted for McCain or not)... "I don't think you're racist because you want to vote for McCain...I just think you're stupid"
Link to Obama trying to portray muslims as bad people? I think this claim is more than a bit contrived. barfo
And he got the money to do all that from evil warlords from the planet Xactar, correct? And his master plan involves harvesting our spleens? barfo
I would argue that Sen. Obama's race has guilted the media into not agressively vetting him. The number of stories they've decided not to pursue is shocking. When you get scooped by the National Enquirer and Sean Hannity you should be embarrassed. I believe the media is driven by political correctness and the people that occupy the desks in New York and DC believe America to be a much more racist place than it really is.
