Why McCain Won

I hear Racism used that if Obama doesn't win its because some white people are racist, but what about most of the black people voting for Obama because he is black. Isn't that the same thing?

Please vote for a President based on their political views and not on the color of there skin.

The Lord said you shall not suffer punishment for the sins of the fathers. Once again the liberal media caught in the self-admission that white guilt isn't just a black nationalist strategy but a media strategy to heretically enshrine Political Correctness within Christianity. Go Marxist-Leftists. I, nor most white people today, have sin tied to segregation, Jim Crow or slavery. You can't extort me~boycott the liberal media.

There hasn't been a Democrat majority in Washington since 1965, and before that, 1933. It looks like we are about to see another such event take place. By November 5, 2008 both houses of Congress and the Presidency will be in Democratic hands.

For those readers who can think for themselves, think back to 1965. Kennedy and the Civil Rights movement. A pivotal time in our history, one we can all be proud of. And 1933, when FDR gave us the New Deal and turned around the Great Depression. If you think about the past century, the only two times that we have had a liberal Democrat majority, America got STRONGER and BETTER.

Obama '08

wow isn't it funny that you claim all those white Americans will vote for Mcain, yet you make no mention of the 90% of Aferican Americans who will vote for Obama. Race is a factor on BOTH sides of this election , but the news media can only see 1 side sad truly sad

To Rosie,
How could you possibly think the mess we are in is due to Democrats.. ? For six of the eight years Bush was in office he had a Republican led congress. He was able to enact almost anything he wanted at will.. What did he do...? He gave the highest tax breaks to the rich in history (Tax breaks that the Democrats want to let expire). His other biggest "accomplishment" was to promote fear and take away our right to privacy by enacting what is so inaptly labeled "the patriot act". Bush will go down in history as the worst president of all time and trust me that is saying something because there was some pretty stiff competition for that title.
Fannie and Freddy's decline is due to Republican deregulation enacted during Bush's two terms in office. In 2003, President Bush???s chief thrift regulator ??? holding a chainsaw in his hands as a prop ??? boasted of his plans to cut banking regulations, including the scope of the reinvestment act and his enforcement staff, which he carried out over the next two years. Deregulation that John McCain has supported for most of his political career or at least until this crisis, when it blew up in his face.

I don't care what color he is, if he can't repect the American flag and lay his hand over his heart when they play the National Anthem and understand it repersents his freedoms, he is not an American period. I resent the fact that everytime anybody talks about Obama they turn it into race. He is a radical, he is Muslium, he is so far left most Dem can't even see he and his assoications with questionable people give me pause. I don't trust him, I don't like hin and he will not get my vote. And if he does win all you political correct tree huggers will drag us right along with you and your lack of common sense. Give him 4 years and you will see change all right, socialist change, but maybe thats what you need if you let this man b.s. his way into office.

It seems that the editorial staff at Newsweak is relying on Obama to win the election. Of course they would because they are 100% behind their choice of candidate. This article is nothing more than a propaganda piece and should be thrown in the trash can. The very implication in the main headline shows their bias right up front. Making excuses and not knowing what will happen only gives them license to produce such unnewsworthy articles. In all my 52 years, I've never seen such blatant one-sided reporting on a political campaign. Clearly, Newsweak is just another arm of the democrat party. This is why I will never subscribe to, their magazine or ever take them seriously.

Since when is a vote for McCain considered to be an ill-educated or racist vote?? Who is this reporter to insinuate that I must be a lower class, ignorant, easily-influenced-by-my-betters lemming because I chose differently than he did? When did it become the "stupid-American" choice to vote for your principals instead of what the media and Hollywood tell you to? The unfair bias by the media to pillory McCain and Palin and ignore the gaffes and obvious mis-steps by Obama simply because he is a "black man" and therefore untouchable is what appalls me. I am constantly amazed that the media thinks that America is so easily led that we don't see the conspiracy. If this election were reported fairly and with equal importance placed on the positives and negatives of both candidates instead of automatically assuming that Obama is the "Messiah" as some media call him then we may have seen a different race. Instead we have the media cramming their views down the throats of the public and attempting to bully or shame them into "going along". Shame on you.

John McCain is a big joke. First he picked a running mate who cares nothing about spending political and public funds for her own private use. And second, she should dye her hair blond to match the dumb lies she continues to try to feed the voters. Like Palin, McCain has the distorted perception that the American voters believe his lies as he talks on both sides of his tongue. Somehow, the both John and Cindy McCain have a way of slipping through the cracks when they break the law. It is my belief Cindy McCain should have the position of "Drug Czar" for the U.S. Her drug use and marriage to John is a perfect example of the drug McCain is trying to influence voters with. As McCain tries to explain his position on several key issues, he sounds like a fish talking out of the water. Not only is he not in touch with the reality of the needs of the American people, he doesn't know when to admit he has no knowledge of a particular issue. A perfect example is his choice of running mate. He didn't know her well. He probably picked her because she is a woman and he possibly believed she had was nice to look at. Now when voters look at Palin, we see someone who doesn't mind: Spending her party's money to fund an expensive wardrobe, and spending time defending other questionable ethical issues. Maybe McCain looked at Palin, as he looked at Cindy when he decided he would divorce and marry her. He saw a Cash Cow". In other words, "I am marrying you for money, honey!" Now with the ticket of McCain/Palin, the American people will be sorry when we find out that if they somehow manage to fool the voters, or steal the election with shady vote counts; that we wake up and find they have robbed this country of its finances and send us into the dark ages. After McCain and Palin lose the election, maybe they can take their acting skills to Hollywood and audition for leading roles in:
The Matrix - Truth Revealed. Voters are smart enough to know that John McCain is not the kind of President this country needs.

My name is K. Smith of Humble, TX. and I approve of this message.

It is garbage written by idiots like the author of this article who are likely driving me toward voting for McCain.
Is the media really so insecure that they feel they need to think for the American public. Also, It is insulting to say the least, that slavery be mentioned in this article. After all, I believe it was a Republican named Lincoln who ended Slavery. Give me a break. The next President, whoever he is, will need all of our help. This kind of garbage "journalism" is nothing more than someone abusing the privilege of writing for Newsweek in order to preach their own political agenda. When will this kind of garbage stop?

Then, in the last week, the LIVs swung back to the default choice: John McCain. Some had good reasons other than the color of Obama's skin to desert him; many more did not. In October, a study by the Associated your article says: "Press estimated that Obama's race would cost him 6 percent. The percentage was smaller, but still enough to give the presidency to McCain" What you fail to mentione in your bias article is that black racism will give him 95% of the black vote. If we assume that only 50% of blacks vote in this election that would give him over 20 million black votes. Now, I guess your article is certainly bias when it fails to mention that black racism toward white McCain will swing the election to Barrack Hussein Obama. See, it is all how you want to frame the argument and you, the writter of this article, are either black or a communist sympather.

Let's discuss racism Liberal Democrats? You branded Coin Powell and Condi as uncle Toms. Now, Powell is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It seems that everyone who does not support your liberal agenda is a racist. Now, who is the simpleton?
