“WHAT IF” Sarah Palin had aborted her Down Syndrome baby and walked across the stage with only four children instead of five?

“WHAT IF” Barack Obama had taken legal pain killers instead of snorting illegal crack cocaine, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” John McCain’s father had been a Communist Polygamist with five wives who believed in taxing 100% of Kenyan’s income, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” both John McCain and Sarah Palin had become lawyers like Obama and Biden, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” Barack Obama could speak without stuttering or could say more than three words without an “AH” between them, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” John and Cindy McCain attended Reverend Wright’s Liberation Theology church for twenty-five years but never heard a word “GOD-DAMNING” America, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” Michelle Obama, or anyone in the Obama family, had run a successful business of any kind, even a beer company, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” Cindy McCain had graduated from Harvard, instead of staying home to run her family’s business, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” Barack Obama had met the high physical and academic standards to enter the Naval Academy, and gone to war to fight Communists, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” John McCain had launched his political career in the home of an unrepentant American terrorist who killed policemen and stomped on the American flag, would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

“WHAT IF” Barack Obama was NOT a “RACE BAITER,” would McCain voters still be RACISTS?

Yeah, titles mean a lot to people who have no sense. Like most of the “Doctors” who could’t fail since it was in African American studies, and they were black. Free pass. And anybody regardless of education who doesn’t understand that being a Governer is much more than being a Chicago politician who spent his whole life trying not to be white. I don’t want the guy to be President of America. Try Chicago, or Kenya. Take your race baiting idiots with you.

@ J I thought it was jesse jackson that said “The burden of being black is that you have to be superior just to be equal. But the glory of it is that, once you achieve, you have achieved, indeed.” same difference I guess.

The Rednecks for Obama campaign is gaining momentum. Even us rednecks know the direction of the country isn’t right when we can’t afford to fill up our pickups and our favorite beer is made overseas.

We were at the Obama Rally in NC on Oct. 5. See this video

Rednecks of the world unite!

Wow: Only in America could a white man with that track record run for President – against a black man who graduated from Columbia and Harvard.

WTF – I’m sorry, but McCain’s great claim to fame is that he was a POW for eight years. No wonder – he graduated in the bottom 5 of his Naval Academy. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! If you don’t pay attention in school, you are going to end up getting shot down over enemy territory.

Is anyone else a little worried that he’s so keen on “winning” in Iraq? And that almost half of this country believes that he can “win” a war.

He was a POW for 8 years. He didn’t win THAT war – Vietnam. So what makes him qualified to win this one? The fact that he was a POW? Fuuuuck.

It sounds like someone is trying to over-compensate to me.

I wish politics had anything to do with rationality. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

PS – to Marcus Stephens, McCain also didn’t reference Oliver as having any experience with home ownership. He referred home ownership to the man who spoke first about the financial crisis. Classic.

Illseed, props on this one. Good blog. It amazes me that this is at all close. The disdain McCain has shown towards Obama in the last two weeks show where we are as a country. McCain reacts to Obama as if he were an unruly Negro who just doesn’t know his place. Referring to him as “that one” was the icing on the cake. Not to mention when he informed the young black male that he probably didn’t know who Freddi Mac and Fannie Mae were. It shows a lot about where his state of mind is.

My father once told me that, you have to be 2 to 3 times better than your white counterpart, just to be on the same level, in corporate america.

It seems that even though Obama is more than prepared to handle the job…….. it dissapoints me that people are still knocking him. The man has his sh!t together and some people just can’t stand it!.

I for Obamaa
