Why McCain Won

If McCain/Palin win it will be more of the same, except perhaps a more liberal stance in regard to environmentalists and illegal immigration. Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and big business will likely continue due to McCain's campaign promises, with no relief for the middle class. The economy will continue to struggle, and possibly sink even further. And heaven forbid Palin becomes president. Why anyone would want this outcome is mind-boggling.

The true racist is the author of the article, and for that matter, the entire Democratic Party. I do not understand why News Week does not change their name to Obama Week. I think the entire American media has taken a gigantic step to the left. The media claims that their reporting is fair and unbalanced when it is so apparent that they favor the Socialist Doctrine of the Democratic Party. One would think that the media would shy away from a political party that will ultimately nationalize their institutions; however, when you can not think for yourself, I guess Socialism is great.

Have you guys seen the news? Down in Florida Obama/Biden wont take anymore hard to answer questions.

Newsweek: What if Obama loses? Uhhhhhh...that question, from MSNBC.com, is not answered in this article.

For all of you so eager to hit companies and their owners with higher taxes, answer this. How long will you survive when those companies - the ones that you work for, provide your paycheck, and get you your benefits - go under? How long will you survive on that $1500 that Obama wants to give you? As a Michigan resident watching the Big 3 fighting for their existence, and knowing many people who will b affected by the 5000 layoffs announced by Chrysler, I am really frustrated with the ignorant attitude that screwing the big comapnies is the way to get more jobs! When companies get tax breaks, they build more facilities in our communities, hire more people, and put money into the hands of their workers that they can then spend in restaurants, stores, gas stations plumbers, and other small businesses. We all thrive. By trying to bring corporate America to its knees, we are "cutting off our nose to spite our faces". We're not screwing anyone but ourselves. A financially sound company means a good standard of living for all of its employees. We have to lose that "little guy vs the big company" mentality and pull together, because as the big companies go, so do we all!

Like everyone says Jonathan Alter .......YOU ARE AN ASS ! ! ! Very typical.

What??? Is the writer seriously saying that the only reason people will vote for McCain over Obama is because a) McCain voters are racist or b) McCain voters are uninformed and uneducated? Are you serious? This is another example of the elitist liberals who run our media.

1417 arnaiz, thanks for your comments. I always look forward to hearing the intelligent voice of your average Republican. Please keep spreading your message and astute political and social analysis right up to November 4th. Then, please crawl back in your hole and pull the grass over the top.

I am appalled at the insinuation McCain will only win due to deep seated racism and apathy of the young voter. This tripe is poor commentary and certainly not journalism. What has happened to the journalists of our forefathers (or mothers). If McCain wins, it will be due to independants and his base constituency. The same holds true if Obama wins. Sheesh, Newsweek used to be a good read, with goodjournalistic apporach. I suppose, Joe Friday's, "...jut the facts, ma'am," have been lost on a generation of journalists, and editors. That is the one thing that came out of Watergate that impacted us the most. The need my our media and journalist to place their opinion into their reporting. It is a sorry place we hace arrived at.

Just so everyone knows, if you don't vote for Obama according to this liberal hack Jonathan Alter, then you're just simply uninformed. Maybe John we should just not allow them to vote altogether. Or maybe you should have ACORN fill out their ballot for them. Elitist media propaganda. Newsweek trash.

You are an ass. Maybe we aren't voting for The One because his record shows that he is a typical partisan politician? Maybe we aren't voting for The One because his performance, once elected, is mediocre at best? Maybe we aren't voting for the one because we don't believe in big government and higher taxes? Maybe we aren't voting for The One because we aren't thrilled with the idea of Pelosi and Reid ramming their very liberal agenda down the throats of America? Maybe we aren't voting for The One because we are concerned about what will happen to the courts for generations to come? You are the one who is ill-informed. It is YOU, and other elites like you, who will set race relations back in this country by telling the world that the only way McCain can get elected is because of low-information, racist voters.
