What Will The Neighbors Think?

Lee Holmes: Bush and Chaney have done more to damage the economy and nation defense than ANY previous four administrations combined. The last ???liberal??? administration left a budget surplus. So, if you really wanted the economy to get better and the defense to improve, you would be voting for Obama instead of someone who helped put them in the gutter. All of the other subjective garbage you dumped in your message is a poor attempt to camouflage the fact that you are voting against Obama because of his race.

Listen up you gringos, crackers, rednecks, gueros, and other melanin challenged, left cerebral dominant, recessive disorder prone Homo sapiens. If you don't vote for Obama then you will considered racists by the rest of the world, specially those Europeans. On the other hand, weren't the Europeans the ones who brought slavery to this Continent? Did this country not loose more than half a million lives ending it.? Was it not the Europeans who cooperated with the likes of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Franco, and Mussolini and murdered millions? Did we not spend the last fifty years trying to keep the peace in that sorry continent. Is it not in Europe where anti-Semitism is again rearing its head? None of this is ancient history.

Sen. Obama is NOT Hawaiian, Hawaiian is a race. He is a native of Hawaii, but not a native Hawaiian. It would be nice if you Mainland people could do a little research before writing stuff like this. But all things aside, we are still proud of our son of Hawaii, and all that he has acccomplished. Because being from Hawaii gives a person a unique perspective about racial harmony that small minded closet bigots in middle America just don't understand. These people are sadly still stuck in the 50's.

Racism works both ways. Does it mean nothing that 90% of black voters are voting for Obama based on the color of his skin, isn't that racism? So big deal, less than 20% of white are not going to vote for him because he is black. I think the more alarming number is that 90% of blacks are voting for him just because he is black, for no other reason than his skin color. To me that says that racism is more prevalent in black culture than it is in white. I'm not voting for him because his policies are flawed and he has changed his stance on the big issues too many times, and my wife isn't voting for him because of his ties to Wright and the health care scandal surrounding the University of Chicago that he was a board member of (which speaks volumes, if you don't know about it educate yourselves). So if there is no Hillary, then I'm switching to the Republicans, they are just as deceitful, but at least you know what your getting up front!

If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth? Are you kidding me? Obama has secured the Democratic presidential nomination. Whether he wins or loses, that is a phenomenal example of the monumental strides this nation has taken with respect to equal opportunity. To say Obama has to become president for America's youth to think equal opportunity exists, is ridiculous.

His defeat would say that when handed a perfect opportunity to put the worst part of our history behind us, we chose not to? I'm sorry, but electing a black president will not magically solve all racial tension in the US. Achieving racial equality in this country is an ongoing process. Please don't discredit all the work citizens of this country have done to realize that goal by hinging the success or failure of the effort on the election of one man.

Everytime I read a horribly skewed, and illogical article like this I swear off Newsweek for a couple of weeks. When I come back I find it has only gotten worse. I read it more for the chuckle I receive from reading such liberal propaganda than I do to be truly informed.

It is undeniable that an Obama presidency would be very significant from the standpoint of equal opportunity in a country that has not fully achived it. Nevertheless, I disapprove of the general tone of this article, since it suggests that thres is only one acceptable outcome for this election. As it would be wrong to deny Mr. Obama your vote because of the color of his skin, it would be wrong to do the opposite. Voters have a right and an obligation to scrutinize each candidate's policies and background, and choose the better alternative. If they do that, they can feel proud of themselves, in spite of the final results, whichever it is.

Lisen up yu gringos. If yu do not boat for our amigo Obama yu are all a bunch of racistas. When he becomes El Presidente yu will get what is coming to yu. No mas pistolas. No mas hunting animalitos. No mas patrullas en la frontera. No mas remember The Alamo. No mas. He will return Tejas to Mejico and yu will go vivir en Arkansas. Jerry Jones two. Comprende?

Poll for White House Tied
by Paul Steinhauser CNN Deputy Political Director

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- It's a dead heat in the race for the White House.
The first national poll conducted after Barack Obama publicly named Joe Biden as his running mate suggests that the battle for the presidency between the Illinois senator and John McCain is all tied up.

In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominees, with an equal amount supporting his Republican opponent, McCain.

"This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain."

So what's the difference now?

It may be supporters of Hillary Clinton, who still would prefer the New York senator and former first lady as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.

Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. That's down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.

"The number of Clinton Democrats who say they would vote for McCain has gone up 11 points since June, enough to account for most, although not all, of the support McCain has gained in that time," Holland said

Weisberg. You are a self-aggrandizing jerk. This said,the option to defeat Obama is not one based in ''racism''.[Weisbergs usual hangout,SLATE Magazine,if chockfull of self-flagulating liberal whites like Jake here who agonize over the ''racial''componant to this race,getting so out of hand that its political columnist,Tim Noah,compared the use of the term ''skinny''to a racial epiteth].
No. Those of us who reject Obama do so in spite of his skin colour,rightly suspicious of the ''Chicago Way''brand of politics he brings,alliances to an economically and national defense-damaging leftwing,his position on abortion,and his dalliances with patent ideologues,among other areas,none of these,having anything to do with his race. Peddle your maudlin,whiny garbage to the choir Jake. We are not buying.[blacks however,who will vote for Obama SOLELY due to his race,which Jake is too gutless and cowardly to adress,are].

I don't think it is Obama's skin color which would keep him from being elected but rather his youthful looks and short Senate service. Colin Powell could easily be elected and Connie Rice certainly has great respect. Newsweek seems to want to create a racial issue when the real reasons are ones they don't like. And calling McCain sub-par is low. If there ever was a Republican who could be called the anti-Republican it would be McCain.
