I call 'em as I see 'em! Hillary Clinton and John McCain have supported the 3 worse bills in determining the fortunes of the American people in the last 7and a half years, and candidates claim they have great experience. The vote to invade Iraq has been a catastrophic failure for Americans in lives, treasure and for the sake of our Constitution. The vote for the continuation of NAFTA that Bill Clinton signed with a Republican congress has decreased jobs and pay in this country for U.S. citizens with both McCain and Hillary giving support. And voting for the New Banking and Bankruptcy Laws has led to the greatest housing scandal since the Savings and Loan Scams of the Reagan/Bush years.
With a track record like that, Hillary and McCain have both shown the worse regard for the welfare of Americans. Those 3 votes, alone, should have Americans questioning how these candidates' experience has misguided them in their judgment concerning critical issues to our deficit.
The only reason folks aren’t falling all over themselves for Barack Obama is color. Many Hillary supporters say if Barack wins they will vote for McCain and then tell you they aren’t prejudiced. Hillary’s and Obama’s visions for the future are far closer than they will ever be to John McCain’s. So once again, some White voters will vote against their best interests, based on color. Yet, these same folks will tell you they aren’t racists. When race is the basis of your decisions, you bet you’re a racist, whether you realize it or not.
The media has attempted to call Black voters racists, by saying they are voting overwhelmingly for Barack (92%). Yet not one news station has brought up how Blacks voted heavily for John Kerry (89%) and Al Gore (90%), two White men.
The double standard of White Privilege has shown itself in this election process in the racial fear the media and others have congered up regarding Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the candidacy of Barack Obama. Attempting to paint Obama with hate due to his minister's words is pure ignorance. Some White folks see it as a valid issue. What ignorance! Many White Americans have come from racist homes that have produced children that don’t see the country as their parents did. So why are we putting so much emphasis on Obama’s minister? Is it ignorance or purposefully attempting to mislead the people.
There are real issues that need to be addressed if we intend to make this country great again. There’s no doubt about it. America has lost a lot of its luster the last 8 years and we have some serious challenges ahead that have to be addressed with good judgment.
We have two candidates who have helped to get this country in the mess it’s in through their poor judgment. You have one candidate that is younger in years, but has shown the judgment of Solomon when it comes to the issues – the only problem for some people is his skin color.
THEY DON’T TRULY REALIZE THE TRUE PROBLEM IS THEIR LACK OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY IN LETTING THIS GREAT NATION SINK OVER SOMETHING AS SMALL AS RACE! THESE FOLKS ARE NOT PATRIOTS – THEY’RE COWARDS LACKING SELF WORTH!
COLOR BLINDNESS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT. WHAT’S NEEDED IS COLOR APPRECIATION, BRINGING THE SAME DIVERSITY WE SEE IN NATURE.
QUESTION EVERYTHING! THAT'S WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES.
Good analysis Capt.
Also, perhaps, what offends those same supposedly non racist voters is that
the Rev. Wright speaks the truth.
As were the "Reagan Democrats"!
Tabacco, you're absolutely right! These Democrats turned Republicans since
the 60's have been scammed by people who look and talk just like them but
have done nothing regarding their issues of morality - gays, abortion,
prayer in school, marriage, etc. The Republicans have done nothing in
these areas but give them lip service, while following an agenda that's
been for the rich and corporate America. The question is, IS THIS THE YEAR
THEY FINALLY SMARTEN UP AND VOTE FOR THEIR ECONOMIC INTERESTS?
Unfortunately, the rest of us have had to live in the hell of their own
making. I cannot believe that ANY kind of a Democrat would vote for a
Republican after the last eight years. You hit that nail on the head,
Capt. It's got to be racism, there is no other logical explanation.
Catty, I'm with you. November should be a landslide for Barack, but
considering how easy some Americans can be swayed, you never know!
Well just when you think it can't get any worse . . . it's time to trot out
how unsafe it's going to be without a Republican at the helm, in stereo,
with Bush in Israel saying Democrats are appeasing terrorists and McCain
over here saying Hamas wants Obama for President. You just know there are
people out there who are believing this BULL!
