    Taking our guns away isn't so far fetched for Obama....look at how he has voted in the senate and come to your own conclusions. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens violates our second amendment right and does very little if anything to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals! To ensure that law abiding citizens keep our guns and are allowed to defend our homes and families against the criminals vote McCain today!

    IS ANYTHING REALLY GOING TO CHANGE ?

      A tigers stripes may change colors but the stripes remain the same. We'll get the same crap just a different smell. This country has been dominated by big business and the special interest. Our nations identity has faded in the mobil exxon and wall street wash.

    Why are white people called racist if they dont vote Obama, I believe both has their short comings, but I feel McCain is the lesser of the two evils. So am i a racist...?

    To cawisl01: I'm speechless. If what you write is what you believe, you are either ignorant or an embicile.

    god u idiots.....if u look at all the shadey associations that obama has and has been involved in before in the past...how can you want to put this marxist in the white house....just because he is a good speaker? he is a lawyer and a politician he main job is to talk well...he is horrible and you all are blind to think that he is any good for this country...so i give you all credit for destroying this once great country by voting in this jiggaboo as our president.

      "Once great country..." What the hell are you talking about? Do you see what happened in the past 8yrs to this "once great country"....or have you been in hibernation? You are the idiot...look at yourself in the mirror. This has nothing to do with Black/White...well, only in your warped world!

    • Posted By: mavrick0 @ 11/04/2008 10:19:17 AM

      Boy you are ignorant, pathetic, ill-informed and i racist. you are the reason America never moves on! I am an independent and if you think for one second I am going to vote for Obama because of any reason other than what I feel is best for the economy, then you are mistaken. Shady associations?? Go get your facts right - McCain has had his share...so the BIGGER person who decided to run a clean race and focus on current issues is Obama.. He wil WIN. Then you can come back 4 yrs from now and try to make a better argument ass!!! I like both candidate, but I stick with Obama.

    When there's more than one choice, it's choices, "Spell Checker". Please don't speak about $700 million in donations, when $750 billion as you slip out of the oval office and leave to the American public seems to be more of an evil act.

  • Posted By: raygumgoof @ 11/04/2008 10:41:38 AM

    With our two party system and the minds of people focused on their party just do the right thing and vote! Each man running will do what he or she needs to stay in this race.

    White Folk? See no color please, if you are going to address this subject on the basis of race. Then tell me why you are voting for Obama? What has he done beside come in here and speak very well and educated. They all plan to do this and that but they never do. Anyone that knows anything about money and the economy knows that the finance situation you will have in your term as president is a direct result of the previous president. What type of government do you want to have? One that has their nose in every aspect of your life....The banks andwe as a nation have killed our economy by our greed. Making 10 dollars an hour and by a 300,000 home...shame on us for buying that and shame on the banks for lending the money. Some White people do want slaves and some black people want to only see racism as an excuse for their lives. Please vote for who ever is best for you and your family. Please do not make this a stupid race thing and please Stop saying White Folk. Finally the Government is built around this brilliant thing called checks and balance. Read up on that eraneee

    gstoner73...you have some hostility issues. First of all, in one of your three jobs were you out there picking onions, potatoes or other fruits and vegetables? Were you willing to work for $1.25 an hour with no medical coverage, no benefits and no protection? I think not. Are any of those jobs something you would want to have in those conditions? I think not. The illegal immigrants, are not over here taking jobs from doctors, lawyers, business professionals, factory workers, etc. so the fact that you feel so threatened is crazy. I believe in legal immigration as do many americans including Obama and McCain. You need to educate yourself on the facts instead of having so much hatred for someone who is not taking away your jobs.

    The biggest fear for white America is this ,Obama might be the first but surly he want be the last , he has already open doors that has been closed for decades. Look take color out of the election and thing tell me who is the better man, during this election period I still don't know what McCain's stands for ??? I respect that he was a P.O.W but there are a lot of x service men out there but that doesn't mean that they can run the country, so like Brain said do your home work listen to what both are saying not what you think they are saying , there isn't nothing to fear but fear itself

    The main stream media has done its dasterly deed and lets see how sucessful their campain to elect another demalist that they clearly wanted. At least 75% of the media ran a propaganda campain that Hitler,Putin,Castro,Sadam would have been proud of. The corruptin of the media has trumped the corruption of any political party. But i guess Fox News are the bad ones for actually not doing that.

  • Posted By: BrianBBB @ 11/04/2008 10:25:53 AM

    I have one quetion....If McCain went to KKK's rally's for the past 20 years would have even be considered for this election??? If not, can someone tell me why in the hell is Obama who attended an ANTI-WHITE church for the past 20 years being considered??? And how is he going to unite this country when he hates white people? Anyone that votes for obama hasn't done their homework or is too stupid to do a little bit of
    research. Please American's, don't be brainwashed. You know who else gave great speeches, Hitler! Vote McCain 2008 all the way!!! An American that has fought for the US his entire life.

    • Posted By: cawilso1 @ 11/04/2008 10:40:45 AM

      what the hell is a ANTI-WHITE CHURCH? just admit it, you are a racist so thats why you won't vote for Obama...and you are ignorant...

  • Posted By: Aima25 @ 11/04/2008 10:40:09 AM

    O-BA-MA!! O-BA-MA!!!! It's true!! I'd like to pay less taxes than my boss who makes more than I do!! For too long it's been the other way around which creates a larger gap between the wealthy and the poor. I work my butt of, and just because I'm not rich, it doesn't mean I'm lazy! Make it so EVERYONE has a chance!! I want everyone to have a chance at healthcare too and I want to make my own choices about my body. And as much as I loved growing up hunting with my dad, I think it is absurd to hunt wolves from helicopters! It's also absurd to try and burn books simply because you disagree with them. Moreso than I AM NOT a Republican, I am ANTI Palin!! Can any of you McCain supporters really say that you'd be okay with that crazy lady running our country?!?!? That's a very scary thought. O-BA-MA!!! O-BA-MA!!!! O-BA-MA!!!!! O-BA-MA!!!!!!!

    Mccain create wealth B.S. create it from what?People on wellfare need to get a job before they even get any benefits. But if you have some idea as to where this wealth and jobs are to be produced then by all means I would be for it . but until you know the whole stroy don't knock it

  • Posted By: mellenATL @ 11/04/2008 10:00:21 AM

    My 81 year old, white, Georgia-born mom predicted - 3 years ago - that Obama would win if he ran for president. "He reminds me of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King, all rolled together into one fine young man". I am so thankful that she is going to witness her vote in Florida count towards maiking Obama president. And I am so thankful that my vote here in Atlanta will go toward turning this red state Blue, at last!

      Hear, hear! This 55 yr old, caucasian, ex-republican, disabled ex-legal secretary in Atlanta says HATS OFF TO YOUR MOM! GO OBAMA! nter Your Comment
