      The dumbocrat dribble and kindergarden whining is unbelievable. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. Racism knows no color. There are White racist,Black racist,Brown racist, ECT. To some it is a hatred, to some it is distrust, and to others it is a tool of deceit. The last thing the USA needs at this time is an Amateur. There is no time for on the job training. More Socialist debt is definitely not what we need. Research what and who you vote for, check your resources, do not buy into the hype, think and reason for yourself. Being what one "guppy" called an old f*rt, I have already survived this type situation (Carter), and really shiver at the thought of having to go through it again. Therefore the inexperience definitely concerns me. The Socialist leaning is a big red flag. Obama's record shows nothing to recommend him. Pretty words and rhetoric may soothe the soul but do nothing to solve problems.

        Honestly, I don't think there's anything overtly racist going on. The McCain campaign is attempting to cast Obama as the 'other', certainly. That may cast a net that snares racists, yes, but I don't think that is the intent.

        Regardless of the two books Obama has written about his life, regardless of the intense scrutiny he as received, we still see articles about 'Who is Obama?' What this intrinsically implies is that there are questions Obama has yet to answer. I think what it really means is that there is a 'truth' that has been constructed around Obama and unless he 'admits' to it, we will never really know the 'true Obama'.

        Brilliant strategy, but I think it's backfiring. Obama as been noting but frank about every single question presented to him about his character, his policies and his associations. I hope McCain follows through with his intent to 'call' Obama on his association with Ayers during the next debate. Obama has only to answer, "Senator, why are you asking me about someone I barely know when the economy is on fire?"

          The only racism I see is in the voters, not the candidates.

          Amervtrn: you spoke correctly of racism. But the technical definition of racism, as in, someone's private feelings, are not really the point. The point is that racism, in our lifetime, led a lot of people to murder. The reason racism is such a white person's issue is the history of what white people have done BECAUSE of being racist. If white people had not killed so many black people for being black, we wouldn't be paying the price of being the typical subject of the "racist" label.

            Very strange that any time I pick up a newspaper or listen to news it is mostly a BLACK person doing the murdering! Blacks murder blacks as well as whites. When people like you start looking at the person and not their color of skin the world will be a much better place. The reason I do not want Obama to be president is not his color but his values. He seems to favor worshiping the Islam faith rather than the Christian faith. Islam followers behead anyone who does not worship their God. I prefer to worship our God who is a loving God. Just be very careful who you vote for!!!

            We already have socialized roads and highways. We have socialized sewers and water. We have socialized schools. We have socialized police, fire protection, military, and prosecutors. We have socialized air traffic control and national parks. We have socialized banking (as of today). We have socialized radio/tv spectrum… The list goes on and on.

            So "my friend," your fear of socialism is simply a bogeyman for you. This really isn't about socialism, is it? The whole socialism argument is code for "I don't want my money going to violent lazy black people as welfare. You think socialism means welfare, don't you?

              Just thought I would mention the socialistic bailout of the trillion dollar bust.

              Socialism for the disgustingly filthgy rich who creat the mess, but trickle down (urine) capitalism and stable cleaning for everyone else?

              Oops!! Forgot. The bailout socialism is only temporary. The oversight regulations WILL Be lifted!!

              What can be more socialist than the Federal government bailing out (giving money) to huge corporations(banks,this time) with billions of dollars? Once again it's the Republican party that's doling out dollars to private companies that paid their c.e.o.'s millions of bucks to run the company into the ground to bail them out.The Republicans talk a great game,but their true symbol is not an elephant,but the 'hammer & sickle'.They seem to be a bunch of suit wearing, 'Give the money to the wealthy' Communist.(Remember the savings & loan bailout,"Old Fart?"How much of that money did they allocate to you?

                how many times do i have to read this exact same post? word for word

                come up with something different - just because that repetitive bull works

                when the talking heads on the radio and tv do it, doesnt mean its

                going to work here - and its losing its effectiveness in the media as well

                  I just hope that if I'm ever in trouble with the law, I can simply shrug off the findings of an investigation in one day and go on pretending my behavior was acceptable.

                    First of all she wasn't in trouble with the law simply because it wasn't a legal issue. The "findings" came out of a kangaroo court panel to satisfy their own personal vendetta agenda and using public funds to do so. Yes, we all know that the legislative body uses public funds in the investigative process but this one wasn't necessary and is very much invalid because it's the Personnel Board that is responsible for investigating complaints of an ethical nature. Get your facts straight before posting your vitriolic comments. Palin and her husband will be cooperating 100% with the Board's investigation at the end of this month BTW!

                      "The "findings" came out of a kangaroo court panel to satisfy their own personal vendetta agenda and using public funds to do so."

                      The findings came from a bi-partisan, mostly Republican appointed investigation team. Palin and her husband, along with the other people McCain Lawyers asked to refuse testimony should be prosecuted for refusing a summons.

                      She said she'd cooperate fully with this investigation, so it begs the question what's different about the 'Personnel Board' investigation. Could it be that she only wants to cooperate now with the investigation she's already been assured would find 'nothing' ?

                      I'm frankly tired of politicians refusing testimony because of "state secrets," "executive privilege" or various other illegal excuses (illegal because the supreme court has decided in the case of BushCo that they are illegal excuses). All it does is set the most dangerous people in the world out of the reach of the law. It's not good for America no matter who is in office, or which 'side' is refusing to comply with the law.

                      If the Bozo Obama Hussen becomes president, I will no longer be a proud American. Obama will "Never" be my president. You liberal idiots need to get off your ass and get a job and stop sucking off the working class. Quit expecting something for nothing.

                      I'm sure our founding fathers are turning in their graves. This country is turning into a third world crap whole thanks to the democrats

                        That is some well thought out commentary, chuckie.

                        You epitomize the worst of this country.

                        You support of failure and disregard for solutions is typical of the mentally challenged majority of the current Republican party.

                        You ludicrously claim that 'liberal idiots' need to stop "sucking off {sic} the working class", yet your failure to recognize that the working class is spending FAR more of their money supporting the 'investing class' of ultra wealthy at the hands of idiotic domestic policy (think war, oil and defense spending) while building the planets largest deficit!

                        Economics 101 is a good starting point. Deficits do not pay for themselves, nor do they just disappear.

                        Perhaps YOU should quit expecting something for nothing.

                                The only people talking about race are leftist liberals. This was a strategy that the Obama campaign devised at the on set (against Hillary) and it has continued as a tool to bar legitimate inquiry into the background and associations of Barack Obama.

                                  Oh please! Obama has been hammered over and over again about Wright, Ayers, Resko, his 'Muslim upbringing', etc. To say there hasn't been legitimate inquiry is laughable. The ONLY reason you don't consider it 'legitimate' is that the answers didn't conform to your version of the 'truth'.

                                    I seem to remember reading one of your posts where you referred to Mr Obama as 'Monkey boy". Maybe I'm wrong but that does sound a bit racist to me. There were several other references to scratching fleas. Unless you're a liberal Democrat I think that qualifies you as a racist, actually lets call a spade a spade you are a racist. We are so proud of you for that, what a fine example for a American citizen.
