    In the last debate, Obama said that he voted PRESENT on the late-term abortion issue because there was already a law in place. If so, why didn't he have the guts to vote NO??? Poor leadership.

    In reading some of these comments, it seem that lot of McCain supporters are out of touch with the fact that racism still lives in the hearts of some Americans... The article never said that all of McCain???s supports were racist, only a percentage... Although the percentage is small, because White America is still the majority, it account for a large number of votes. Wakeup people, racism still lives in your families, neighborhoods, schools, towns, cities and your country... Pointing out racism and knowing that it???s alive should not make us angry; so, if you just realize that change has no color, hope will save us all...

      Why is it when blacks vote for Obama because he is black, its not called racism?

    • Posted By: jgosnell @ 10/26/2008 12:58:52 PM

      yes racisim lives in this country. 95% of a population would never vote for the same person unless it had something to do with race. yes there is racism but the racist here are the black voters. they vote for obama just because he is black and anyone who says different is a lier. 95% of black voters cant agree on anything yet they all agree on obama. who is the racist

    To all Christians:
    Jesus said to give all your money to the poor . Does this make Jesus a socialist ?

      Yes, actually, it does.
      A 'socialist' from 'another kingdom' "...my kingdom is not of this world...'

        How is this apples vs. oranges old and New Testament agree the early church was founded on this principle the Tithe and the offering how did Jesus make money what about Paul and the other disciples how were they supported? It is a clear commandment not a request.

      He said to "give", not for you or Obama to "take". There is a big difference. I give plenty and I do it from my heart, but when it is demanded I quit giving...

    Racist ??? The only people who are racist are the writer of this article, Jonathan Alter, and people like him.
    Putting forth race as the only reason someone would not vote for Obama is in itself racist. Personally I don't care if the man is white, brown, green or purple I'm just not ready to be a part of the Obamanation or a Citizen of the Worl as he puts it. Give me someone with the same values and beliefs as mine like J.C. Watts and see how fast I vote for a black man. Until then call me a RACIST ...... I'm not a citizen of the World ...... I'm an AMERICAN !!!!!!!!!

  • Posted By: purpleconservative @ 10/26/2008 1:08:19 PM

    Leadership is not voting PRESENT over 120 times in the Illinois state senate. Obama does not have the guts or judgement to make the tough decisions.

  • Posted By: JD13 @ 10/26/2008 1:07:57 PM

    That was pretty offensive. I live in the Florida panhandle and resent the implication that unless I vote for Obama I'm a racist. There are things that I dont like about all the candidates, but race is not a factor in my vote. I'll say this though, media bias, and the ignorant reporting of thoughtless opinion by his supporters turn me off to Obama almost as much as his half baked ideas on health care and taxes, his involvement with the Fannie Mae fiasco, and what I feel is a severe lack of perspective on the current situation in Iraq.

    What a piece of garbage this article is! A pure waste of the electrons used to assemble and transmit it.

    Perhaps what we should consider is McCain's past: divorcing his first wife and children, being invoived in the cause of the deadly USS Forrestal ship fire which killed over 100 men, crashing several planes during his early pilot career, and getting himself shot down and captured. These are not heroic acts. They are merely examples of bad judgement or bad luck, neither of which I want in my President.

    I keep asking myself: Is this the best they can give us out of 300 million Americans? They really can't find anyone with more brains, more charisma, and frankly, more character? Our American politics truely must be bought and paid for.

    May God help us, because I do not believe either Republicans or Democrats will.

    This article is insane! I am very informed and done extensive research as to all of the candidates. I am also from N. IL. and Obama has not done one single thing to help IL. He is the most liberal senator to date, when he decides to vote. Everyone knows that IL politics are crooked and he is right there with them Do your research! Check O's attendance records and voting records in IL. It has nothing to do with race, but everything to do with experience and leadership. That is NOT Obama!

    • Posted By: spiritdml @ 10/26/2008 1:07:43 PM

      So N-ILVoter you'll take your chances with the Nazi party then instead?

      Great choice -- if you hate America and freedom that is

      If you really even are from N-IL -- McCain / Palin are liars and all their supporters are suspect too

    • Posted By: leepdx @ 10/26/2008 12:32:50 PM

      There is a unique culture to every state's political environment , in Chicago you can vote yes, no or present . Present means no with cause, maybe there were good reasons why many bills should not be enacted without further debate.

    • Posted By: billysid57 @ 10/26/2008 12:21:45 PM

      What, you mean voting "present" doesn't matter? At least we knew he was there and not on the campaign trail on the taxpayers dime.

  • Posted By: AKAmomcani @ 10/26/2008 12:57:33 PM

    What an a-hole writer. Could it be that the older voters see through Obama's charm for what he really is? Could it be for a reason OTHER than race, since Obama IS white too? Maybe the voters don't like the idea that he has never even proven that he is a Natural born citizen? Maybe they don't like Obama's ties to Ranes, Ayers, Wright, Acorn, etc.? Maybe give more credit to the American population other than labelling them "LIV" (Little Information Voters). How about those whoa re voting FOR him, not even knowing, or caring what he stands for, only that he is black? There should be a quiz beforehand, verbal, written, it doesn't matter, to verify that the person voting even knows what candidate stands for what issue. Listen to this sound bite, if you want to hear how sad and ignorant Obama's supporters "for his issues" really are:

      I'm pretty sure older people dont want to vote for Obama BECAUSE of his race and the fact that he is liberal. Older people dont want change, they fear it.

    The Republicans have proven time and time again that giving them any position of power is like giving a credit card and a gun to a 5-year old. Time to throw those bums out forever!!!

  • Posted By: purpleconservative @ 10/26/2008 1:05:51 PM

    McCain is a fighter and will be out there until the bitter end. Do not give up on Johnny Mac quite yet. He still has plenty left in the tank!!

    Hey everyone...I hear all sorts of things about Obama...like his "Associations" with folks like of Ayres, and then there's Khalidi and then a guy named Michael Klonsky and Rezko and then the religious dudes Flager and Reve Wright... and someone told me that while living in Hawaii his mentor was a guy name Fank Marshall Davis Gonna watch Sun(oct26) 9ET on Foxnews Sean Hannity's show on Obama to understand

    • Posted By: LilBella @ 10/26/2008 1:05:48 PM

      You're going to watch Hannity to to have him explain something to you? Are you kidding me? I thought the main reason we're in 2 wars is to fight against radicals? Or is it OK in your book to listen to high paid, in-our-own-country American radicals? Please do some actual research!

  • Posted By: bames @ 10/26/2008 12:52:29 PM

    I cannot imagine why anyone would want McCain/Palin; I am a republican but I will not vote for those two liars. Our country is in a lot of trouble if they win.

    • Posted By: AKAmomcani @ 10/26/2008 1:05:40 PM

      But it is ok to vote for Obama who lied about writing for Ayers book, or not knowing the hate filled message that Reverend Wright spoke about for 20 years? Obama lies about everything in his past, EVERYthing. LIES UPON LIES. Now even Biden is claiming that Obama didn't say he "wants to spread the wealth" , when everyone heard him say it! LIES LIES LIES.

  • Posted By: rube @ 10/26/2008 1:04:58 PM

    We were told it was decent and patriotic to vote for "W"- in hinesight it was the worst thing an American voter could have done. Now were told it the same to vote for McCain whos political theolgy is smack dab the same as Bush!

    Mccains litany of failure from a history of deregulation, a lack of a sustainable energy plan, to using the American West as a conduit and nuclear waist dump for the nuclear industry is to much to take!

    I am an American
    voter that understands all to well that McCain strongly advocated and pushed hard for the unneeded
    war in Iraq that has killed hundreds of thousands of people (American and Iraq citizens) while causing a million or so refugees to lose their homes their families as to create near 20,000 prisoners that have been jailed in prisons without due process- and now The American government doesnt have a clue what to do with them!

    McCain politically authored this gigantic crisis!
    And this is supposed to be his strong suite?
    How pathetic, how low, this is fascism! How can a man stoop, to push his country into a war based upon subversion, duplicity anbd ego aand too claim that he is a patroit to do so?

    I appeal to my American brothers and sisters- look hard into the mirror and ask yourself is this what America does, is this what we "one nation under god" stand for? Is this what we want to teach our children to be?

    1996 United States campaign finance controversy , is this why the DC lawyers are endorsing Obama , for more of this same kind of Money making opportunities ????

    The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an alleged effort by the People's Republic of China to influence domestic American politics during the 1996 federal elections.

    I do not support either candidate and will be voting for an Independent candidate (yes I am aware it is throwing my vote away, but better to vote my conscience). That said I am perplexed. McCain supporters are very much about bringing up Ayers, Wright, and Obama not putting his hand over his heart etc. The part that leaves me confused is, if this all bothers you how can you support a ticket with Palin on it?
    First her husband is a member of the Alaskan Independence party that wants Alaska to succeed from the US. Palin herself spoke at one of their meetings. There is not logic that can associate being a secessionist with being a US patriot, in the least. The Party its self has some very questionable ties to shady organizations.
    Then there is the matter of her being blessed by her minister to protect her from WITCHCRAFT! I do not agree with Wright but knowing the era he grew up in, filled with racial inequality and strife, I can at least understand where he is coming from. Belief in witchcraft I cannot understand even a little bit. The psychology behind that kind of belief involved in thinking witchcraft is a viable threat is frightening on to many levels.
