Funny how politics and people work.
I have seen articles proclaiming Obama to be Hitler, the antichrist and scary. Also for anyone who hasn't heard Obama is a Muslim that is going to infilltrate our government from the highest level and give control to the radical Islamic nation.
Now as far as Obama being the reincarnation of Hitler. Hitler hated Jews, blacks, and pretty much everyone can you see his soul actually agreeing to be placed in a black man?
And yes Obama is the antichrist, the bible says so. Never mind that the nation of Islam didn't come around til the 6th or 7th century AD long after the bible had been written.
As for Obama being scary. Is that scary as in educated man who wants to help the people and not worry about what is best for the corporations or scary as in "That black man is going to steal my purse?"
And last but certainly not least, Obama is a Muslim. Yes he did go to Muslim school but he also went to Catholic school. Both are scary.
Late last night I had an ephiphany. Inspired by an article by Sandy Knauer and painkillers (not necessarily in that order).
I wrote a nonsense article about John McCain wanting to raise the drinking age to 12. I admit I was looking for a response and I wasn't disappointed.
According to some of the people who commented on my article I am a drunk who slanders and is guilty of defamating McCain's good character.
As for the title to this. I saw in a thread that someone had commented they were just deathly afraid that people will vote for Obama because he is black.
So how many people will vote for McCain because he is white. Now that is really a scary thought.
As a totally unrelated afterthought, what the hell happened to Lyndon? I went to his page and his account has been deleted.

Look at McCain's voting record and Obama's (Brief as it is).
If the Republican was black and the Democrat was white, then they'd be full of angst.
we're up s-creek without a paddle then, one had little experience and the other has experience killing people. But then, that's pretty much what the Secretary of State is about.
Their background such as McCain the moral leaving his wife for his hot blonde mistress and marrying her.
Wilma thanks.
How much experience did George Washington or Abe Lincoln have before becoming president?
Lori if you look hard enough nasty things are said about all candidates. I am not sure if you saw but in Florida there were state vehicles tagged up with spray paint that says "Obama smokes crack". It is said to be the work of Clinton supporters.
My point is that the background chatter amongst the nutjobs are irrelevant unless you want them to be. Many blacks want a black candidates some whites don't. So what? May the best man win.
If the Republican was black and the Democrat was white, then they'd be full of angst."""
That was a nice honest bigoted view of things from a "typical white" liberal.
Politics is dirty.
My question to you and the Florida incident...how did they come to the conclusion that it was Hillary supporters that did that?
Pretty funny. hopefully they won't vote based on voice.
I am called a racist because I am for McCain.
I didn't vote for John Kerry either. But 2004 was nice. We looked at the issues more and we did less name calling.
Wilma, McCain was a soldier and if he killed people he did it in the line of duty. Would you accuse George Bush (41) or John Kennedy of killing people? What about Eisenhower who led the D-Day invasion?
Many of our presidents had wartime experience.

Thanks Jeff.
The Democrat Primaries breakdown of black and white voters:
Maryland: 84% blacks vote Obama, 15% Clinton....
Virginia: 90% blacks vote Obama, 10% Clinton....
etc... and you think it's 'dumbsh*t'.... well, I would agree that voting based on color is pretty dumb, but that's is exactly what happens in the black community. Are you going to make a stink about that? You should, but you won't.
Well, I don't like the Hilldabeast anybetter and I wouldn't vote for her either, so does that make me sexist?
When folks say they are voting for a particular candidate based on their sex or skin color, we are all in trouble.
Did they poll every single person? Can they guarantee that people didnt lie or refuse to answer?
Polls are not FACTS.
You're obviously a moonbat idiot savant. Polls are never 100%, but we SHOULD be able to agree that there are within a margin of error. Why don't you go and research it and find information that refutes the information I provided. Stomping your feet doesn't count.
You lose.
:o)
Faith thanks:)
How many people on gather think that Don doesnt know his ass from a hole in the ground?
Now remember Don polls are facts so if the majority of people answer yes to this then it is true.
I'm afraid of anyone voting for McCain because he's a disaster waiting to happen.
Thanks Erik
" """ I wonder who blind people will vote for?"""
Pretty funny. hopefully they won't vote based on voice "
I would say to not reduce this to the ridiculous, but its too late for that. It's one of the reasons that I don't fuss when I hear people say that they won't participate in the political process, and give the reason that it's screwed. How can I argue with it, when people do NOT vote issues, but vote based on . . . say, colour, religion, or status -- like, it's you and me against THEM.
Since I'm a Christian, aren't I supposed to be voting with the Republicans? It's hogwash. No one is going to put me into a box, although people never stop trying to do it.
Since I'm a so called "Christian", aren't I supposed to be voting with the Republicans? It's hogwash. No one is going to put me into a box, although people never stop trying to do it.
It is supposed to be ridiculous. I saw a woman last night post a comment saying she was deathly or dearly I cant remember which...she was afraid that people were going to vote for Obama because he is black. So I just reversed it now does anyone see the idiocy of her statement.
The source was CNN.... the poll has a margin of error. As for YOU starting a poll on Gather, that would be biased. Anyways, you obviously have trouble with facts/logic, so no point trying to convince you. I'm confident people will know I am right that blacks vote in large majority for a person of the same color when the opportunity presents itself.
So now it is a FACT
"Bomb Iran!
Bomb Afghanistan!
Bomb N. Korea!
Let's see, we've got PLENTY of bombs left, uh -- who can we BOMB today? For sport, for fun. Dick is getting tired of using that gun, and bombs are big fun!"
CNN so what....a poll is a poll.
Linda what an interesting way to phrase it..and BTW Obama is part white
Not race
How are we supposed to ever get a decent election going with that kind of nonsense happening?
raised conservative
raised republican
served in the military
and voting OBAMA!
That way it won't matter if they are young or old, handsome or homely, Black or White, but just what they are SAYING, what they say they represent.
Neetah amazing isnt it.
I don't care if he is black. I don't care that McCain is white. I think that McCain would just bring more of the same crap that Bush did. Life would not change for any of us if he becomes President. If Obama becomes President, then there will be some changes for the good - we will get out of Iraq, we will hopefully have a better economy, and he will try and create a system where our insurance is given to everyone.
I'd rather take the chance.
McCain will only be voted for because he isn't black and he doesn't have a muslim middle name.
It's really cool that you are able to have fun with this; that's cool, Girlfriend. But check Linda out. Watch and see if she doesn't end up . . . VOTING OBAMA!
For decades it has been the word -- or lack of it -- to exclude Blacks from participating in "the American Dream".
The word that some Whites have grown to hate, "Affirmative Action" didn't just . . .
Ta da!
Pop up one day,
just because.
It came about, because it was recognized that Blacks were being systematically and Institutionally EXCLUDED, due to racism, and somehow, SOMEBODY had to level the playing field. Private enterprise -- one of the proponents of this racism was not about to do it, so the Federal Government HAD to step in.
Now Whites cry, "reverse discrimination." There is nothing "reverse" about it.
EXPERIENCE.
Check with some objective Constitutional experts. Ask THEM about the Framers, and
EXPERIENCE.
The Framers DID NOT want EXPERIENCE in that Constitution.
So, why do people CHOOSE to ignore this? Convenient to ignore?
On my job, I never wanted management -- NEVER!
When they tried to promote me, I stepped back from it -- can't force me into something that I do NOT want. Hell, I wanted to be a free spirit and a Union gal -- not a bought-and-paid-for flunkie.
But once, to prove racism, I did apply for a job. I was degreed, met -- in fact over exceeded the qualifications, had YEARS of [AHEM] E-X-P-E-R-I-E-N-C-E. I was a bad mother-shut-yo-mouth, and I knew it. I just wanted to see WHAT they would do. Here's what they told me:
Too White candidates with no degree, NO EXPERIENCE, and would need to be TAUGHT the job I already knew, less than 2 years in the company (I had about 18 at the time) were better qualified than I was. When I asked HOW were they better qualified, I never got a response.
Don't think my example is an isolated incident. I cite it because it's the one I know best.
Take your EXPERIENCE and go stick it somewhere. We DO know about your "EXPERIENCE". I proved my point. Each time you mention EXPERIENCE, we see the wink and the nod, and KNOW. That term had been around for years to exclude Blacks, and it is not new.
Thank you very much Ronnie.
EXPERIENCE
of the last 10 Presidents of the Country,
and see, just see
how they measure up.
I'll put big money on Obama being in the TOP 5
as one of them with the most impressive resume.
Enough is enough, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
We need to kick these "experience" people to the curb big time.
Didn't Hillary say that SHE was tired of it, too?
I really miss the old company; oh, how I miss the old company.
However, I would have voted for Hillary and a little part of me would have been because she was a woman....what an awesome thing to witness in my lifetime.....If we are being completely honest
Maybe Hillary is ready to make a CHANGE! She has come over to the RIGHT side now, and broken ties with the old fogies, and hopefully with the Washington insiders.
Tsk, tsk. I was starting to get heart palpitations from my own friends here in the Bay Area, pressuring me to vote for Hillary, because she was a female. I would no more vote for her for being a female than I would vote for Obama for being Black.
I agree Lori that many people use Lyndon's language but I think he pissed off the wrong people. Just a rumor I heard.
Lyndon left because he wanted to leave. He pissed off a lot of people, including me. So do you, Don. So do I. It happens every day on Gather. Lyndon stayed awhile after that, and then announced that he had plans for the summer and was leaving. Unless he told you he was forced out, why would you spread "just a rumor".
