All of your comments show complete ignorance and denial.
Everybody knows that if the media attacked NObama the way they attacked McCain, the African Americans in this county would cry racism just like every single time something doesn't go their way.
That's insane! Though I probably agree with you more than not that Obama is the likely next President, your claims that a McCain vistory is purely due to whites not voting black is idiotic and purely racist in and of itself! Get a grip. These 75 million ill-to-un-informed as you put it may not be the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to politics, but to insinuate that a vote for McCain is a vote againts Obama purely based on the latter's skin color makes you the biggest biggot of them all.
Either that, or its TRUE!
Either that, or its TRUE!
It will be a sad day for America and the ideals it was founded on if Barack Hussein Obama wins. NOT because he is a black man, but because his policies so conflict with the democracy that our country was founded on. In simple English? He is so far left of center that his policies smack of socialism. His associates are radical, and yes, oh my goodness, even racist, as in the case of Rev. Wright. It will be a terrible thing for America if he is elected.
Heaven help us if he doesn't win...simply because we have seen what happens when blacks don't get their way.. do the Rodney King riots ring a bell ??? or the Jenna6 ? or any other time things don't turn out the way they expect , the riots and mass destruction of property will be horrible , and that is exactly why they post topics like this , to scare people in to voting for this person.
Barrack Hussein Obama , friend to Ayers the terrorist , the Rev"Stomp the Whitey" Wright the racist anti-American ,and friends to HAMAS , IRAN , and all of the other Muslim terrorist nations ,( READ HIS book !) he says "HE will stand with the Muslims !"
If OBAMA wins and passes his Socialist agenda , the USA will quickly become the USSA and turn in to a 3rd world crap hole.
Plus if Obama wins , the amount of "I TOLD YOU SOs" will be histerical , I mean...I hear so many idiots saying...the sky will be more blue , the birds will sing louder , the price of gas will be 50cents a gallon , unemployment will be over and everyone will make 6 figures , and so on...
Obama is NOT the 2nd coming of Christ , and he will NOT save this country nor the world from the Economic melt down that is coming , but he will tax every succesfull buisness at 53% along with every successfull person who makes over 250K at 53% and give the rest of the money to his low class friends who don't work now as it is.
Obama wants the amount of people who don't pay taxs to go from 17% to 30% ! and pay them with YOUR money if you are doing well in this time of economic uncertainty.
OBAMAS IS BULLCHIT !
Well written, racist loser!!!
How extremely stupid! Did you call it socialism or communism when Roosevelt, to half of Clinton's Adminsitration in the White House?
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 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.
RIGHT ON SISTER!!!!!
Neither is a terrorist sympathizer like Barrack Hussein Osama the right president for this country. I too believe he is not naturally born and that his grandparents are respopnsible for the forged birth certificate. In the family photo album circulating, there are no pics of him with them before he was around 4-6 years old. They were so proud of him that even though he was born in their back yard they have no pics with him as a newborn or as an infant? WAKE UP!!!!!!
You are ridiculous.
Last time I checked, socialism was defined, broadly, as the state/government owning the "means of production and/or distribution of goods." So, what exactly does that mean for the US, under republican leadership (McCain voted with W. 90% of the time), since it effectively owns Freddie, Fannie, AIG, and a host of other companies under the broad "bailout"? WE ARE ALREADY SOCIALIST, PEOPLE! WAKE UP and try to understand the basics of economic and political theory, please.
Comments to Phawk33 "points":
1. McCain has served his country his whole life. He's so old, that's why it's been such a long time!
2. Both candidates are politicians, and politicians cannot be trusted....period. However, learn the facts....they aren't what you think. Obama's associations aren't as bad as the Republicans have tried to make it.
3. Redistribution of wealth....that's what taxation is! How long have Americans been paying taxes? Taxes will never go away. It's a matter of how much we all pay, and that depends on what the President can actually accomplish with the Senate and the House.
4. Obama's lack of military service has NOTHING to do with whether he would be a good president or not. George W. was never in the military, and look how that's turned out! George W. never ran a successful, profitable business, and he's proven, at our expense, that he can't run a country either!
Personally, I would like to have another candidate to vote for. However, the lesser of two evils is Obama. McCain thinks middle class makes up to $4 million. On what planet? McCain is not for middle America. He may be stronger from a military perspective, but he also voted with President Bush 90% of the time. It's true that we can't afford another 4 or 8 years of the Bush-like administration. It is time for change. What's so wrong with taking a chance on a candidate that sounds like it's the right things for America? Obama cannot be worse that George W., and we need a Democrat back in office.
It used to be that race divided America; today, it's much more about politics that divides us. But the beauty of America is that we have the right to believe what we want, to make our own decisions, the freedom to express those opinions, and the freedom to vote. Sure, part of the country will be disappointed by the nominated president, but we need to move forward.
McCain scares me. But Palin scares me to much more. Having Palin in the White House will be another joke like having George W. in the White House.
GET OUT AND VOTE! And encourage everyone you know to do so!
1. Yes, McCain has a LOT of experience in Leadership as well as in Government. Dismissing him as old is no better than dismissing Obama because of Race. McCain is bright, experienced and will serve us well for 8 years because he is not motivated by wealth or by an ego. The man has served his Country with vigor and dedication all his life. I trust him 100%
2. Obama's associations (Rev. Wright, ACORN, Ayers, The Chicago developer in jail, etc.) are questionable because a) shows his poor judgement, b) have never been thoroughly investigated, and c) have been brushed aside by the candidate himself. Why is it that he never associated with admired figures and only with shady characters. I DONT TRUST OBAMA.
3. Taxes are a way of life anywhere. I don't mind paying my fair share because thta is what it takes to live in a free country that cares for its citizens. Obama's social experiment will kill the incentive for individuals and small companies to innovate and create jobs and that is bad for America.
4. You made my point: Dubia didn't have any real military experience and look where it has gotten us! But in his defense, the Country has been safe from Terrorist attacks since 9/11! Do you want a weak demagogue like Obama to be at the helm of our Military? He hasn't the foggiest idea of what it takes to lead a strong nation, militarily or otherwise.
Funny how Histry repeats itself: think Nixon (bad) followed by Carter (weak), followed by Reagan (old, experienced and strong). Why don't we skip another Jimmy Carter (Obama) and go directly to a capable and experienced leader like McCain.

Jonathan plays the race card for Obama. The complete message of this article is that you must vote for Obama or be labelled a racist and ignorant of the superior intellect of the media. There is no place for those of us who do not share their values. I made up my mind this week after reviewing Obama's proposals on his web site and comparing them to John McCain"s.
1. Economy. John McCain's proposal is pro employer and therefore employment. Obama's proposal puts the U.S. suppliers at a further disadvantage to foreign competitors . The country needs to retain and invest in jobs more than it needs gifts for political benefit to the remaining employed. I believe that Obama and the media are wrong.
2. Energy. Both candidates agree that increased domestic production of petroleum is required as a bridging strategy to the yet to be identified future alternative energy sources. McCain is fully committed to increase domestic production. Obama will only commit to "study" doing so. I'm disappointed that both candidates continue to ignore the shale oil opportunity, but McCain has a positive plan. Obama does not. This issue is greater in significance to solving the countries cash flow problem than all other factors combined.
3. Medical services. Obama favors government run medical services. McCain supports resolving the problems and retaining the benefits of our current private health care. Having lived 5 years in England, I state with certainty that McCain's direction is the better of the two.
4. Pro life versus Pro choice. I side with McCain.
5. Terrorist and foreign threats to our nation's security. I have more confidence in McCain as does the military personnel by a three to one majority.
6. Trust and confidence. Obama'a policies and behaviour are patterned after his mentors Emil Jones and Rob Blagovich, Senate majority leader and governor of Illinois respectively, The Illinois government has been dysfunctional for the last 6 years while both the Legislative and Executive offices have been under control of the same party. This cannot be afforded at a national level. McCain, has been protrayed as being a continuation of George Bush. That simply is not the case. McCain is a centrist who has parted with Bush on many critical issues whereas Obama has followed the Democrat party line with 97% consistency.
The preceding are the reasons that I am voting for McCain. My motives are what is in the best interest of the country. If that is being racist and ignorant, so be it.
zgofer...enjoyed reading your post. Thanks for stating so succinctly the big reasons for voting for mccain. I believe the majority of americans will do just that; the media and obama's campaign are both so afraid that americans will not bow to their propaganda, they are pulling out all the stops here in their last days of mass delusion.
So the Mc Elitist Camp picks up Hasselbeck from the view to campaign with them...yet they talk of 'Joe the Plumber', the small timer!!! Advise for the Obama camp: Pickup 'Sarah the maid' OR 'Jude the nunny' (ordinary citizen) to campaign with. We will see which camp is ELITIST!
What do the 25 most empoverished cities have in common? Every one has had a Democrat mayor for longer than 20 years, many as long as 100. If you always do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
Talk about low intelligence voters? That's what Nobama is counting on. All the googlie eyed people that don't have a clue what his policies will do to them. Watch your wallets and OUR National security. This news organization is an embarrassment to all real journalists. Not only are you in the tank for NObama but you lie and distort the real facts
way to go Obama Camp. Cancell all appearances on a central Florida T.V. station just because Biden was asked simple, direct questions. Is this how it's gonna be if your elected? Media blackout just because you don't like the questions? Keep it up, we don't need you in the white house anyway! Oh, for you that didn't see it on this sight, ask yourself why it wasn't here? Come on News week Fair and balanced reporting s the goal of all media reporters.
I'm sure he has his reasons, but we still haven't gotten official notice as to why Palin was never available to the media.
What about the African Americans amongst those 75 million uninformed voters who choose to vote McCain? They're racist too? And the 75 million uninformed voters who vote for Obama? They're what, somehow less racist, more informed, lucky, Newsweek subscribers??
If McCain wins, we'll just have four more years of George Bush. We already know what that's like, so there's no need to speculate.
FOUR MORE YEARS OF GEORGE BUSH...that is all I hear but apparently, with all the earpeices in the heads of the Democrats, they can't hear what McCain is saying. He is not George Bush. If we have for more years of Bush it will be because the Congress will undermine everything McCain tries to do.
He voted with BUSH 90% of the time - he basically is Bush. Remember - Bush sucked for 8 years - 6 of those with the Republican majority in the senate. I love how you neo-cons are already making excuses for McLame - "oh it's Congress's fault". Same excuses the Bush clones use. Again - McLame = Bush, Palin = the stupid white trash Alaskan lady!

Obama voted with the democrats 97% of the time. McCain voted against earmarks. The reason Obama didn't vote 100% was because 3% of the time all he could say was "present".
Yup, lots of class here.
This article is insane and Newsweek should be ashamed for publishing such utter nonsensical crap. To surmise that the only way McCain could win is because the 75 million ill-to-uninformed voters out there (I'm surprised the author didn't just outright call these folks "political idiots") would vote for McCain over Obama purely because of the latter's skin color is the more overwhelming statement of bigotry. Regardless of who wins or loses, this country is better than to think that we will fall because our candidate doesn't win. The larger satisfaction might just come from a McCain victory just to show that media (such as with this stupid article) doesn't have quite the power to sway the American voting public as it certainly seems to like to think it does.
Talk about low intelligence voters? That's what Obama relies on. People are all googlie eyed and don't know any facts about NObama. Watch your wallets and our National security. This news organization is an embarrassment to the journalistic field. You are not only not fair but totally out of touch with the reality on a NObama presidency. Wake up and smell the taxes
I love the way the press has decided for the American people that Obama has won. I hope not- How are we going to pay for all of his wonderful ideas?? We can't pay for much more now.
The press considers Obama the second coming-he is NOT. HIs color has always been in the fore front instead of his lack of experience, knowledge and voting record.
I hae voted for McCain/Palin already! Obama has his littleaear piece with someone telling him what to say & do! What a puppet! He came on to the Oprah show to talk about his book w while back. Oprah said" I'm not getting involved in politics",she did... guess what, she uses the media to promote him like those loser movie stars(We pay too much to see them act anyways & they're not worth it). Of course she doesn't want to lose
her money! IT"S ALL ABOUT AFRICA! NOT THE USA!
Out some in the Kitty for Obama & buy him now!
Rosie - Your ignorance is unbelievable. I'm very certain that your early vote means that you loved the Bush policies and want them continued. You might also enjoy World War III since you have no idea what the Republican machine is capable of doing.
Haven't voted yet, but it will sure be for McCain/Palin.
Blah, blah, BS and more nonsense coming out of the desperate MCPalin supporters. Boring ....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Obama lead margin is artificially made up by ovewhelming liberal media. He will lose not because he is black, but because of his selfishness, personal ambition. He doesn't care about this country. He cares only about his ambition which demonstrated at the end of the 1st year of his senate tenure. It is dangerous to elect him.
The common sense and decency of the American people could possibly dissagree with Obama for intelectual reason also. However it has become more and more clear when 98% of the black vote is skewed to Obama as an example of who are the real racists in our country. You are very condecending to conservatives in an ivory tower way as most ultraliberals are. Shame on you and it only proves that the mainstream media is far left of center in America. A sad thing that you fail objectivity
perfectly said..."rural white America is clinging to its GOD and its GUNs because they are angry and bitter" and blacks are only voting for Obama because he is black , and wants them to never have to work by taxing the hell out of the rich and giving them all their money...what a crock of socialist crap.
