Political Punch

who cares what color he is, a reguler guy he is not. I will not vote for him as he is ignorant, and arrogant. I expect him to erect a pulpit to give us his weekly sermons of hope eeven though he does nothing. A president cannot make decisions on his own! Wake up America! McCain/Lieberman 08

Steven from time immemorial, blacks in America have always voted for white candidates. So what are you talking about? The truth of the matter is this: most white Americans are turning their backs on Obama because of his looks, and not because of his economic agenda and foreign policy issues. Let’s face it, Obama looks more black than white and above all, he has a black wife. His daughters look black as well. Race is a very big factor in this campaign. Even Hilary and Bill Clinton the so called first black president raised the issue of race during the primaries. The Hilary camp all along believed that Obama will not win in the general election, simply because of the fact that he is black. They introduced the issue of race in the democratic primaries. Hilary was once quoted as saying, “He can’t win, don’t you that see he is black?”. As long as blacks remain subservient to Bill Clinton it is okay. As soon as they seek higher offices and leadership positions it becomes a problem with Bill and some in the Democratic Party, who probably believe that it is not in the genetic make up of a black man to rule or govern? I want someone to convince me that this is not racism.

Hey, Jake....come on....fair is fair....Obama is trying out a new campaign message? Yeah, right from the Hillary Clinton playbook. This guy hasn't had a new idea...let alone a creative thought ...sorry, didn't mean to say the latter.....he loves being the rock star and now, as we understand it....the producer of rock events. His acceptance speech on the Martin Luther King "I Had a Dream" event...which ought to be a solemn event is one hell of a way to honor King.....drag out Jennifer Hudson,....drag out Bono....drag out Springsteen.....get everyone you can on that stage...hell...fly over the music acts who got you your big audience in Berlin...and have fireworks..like the Chinese did a week ago. Accept the nomination.....maybe juggle a few balls in the air for the folks...you know...."make 'em feel real good"

Everyone's talking about Barack being black all the time, but he is no more black than he is white. It's not like he only got 30% of his white mother's genes and 70% of his dad's. OK? He's both.

So let me ask this question. If he was 1/4 black but looked mostly white, would you vote for him? What if he was 1/8 black?

Do you see how stupid this whole issue of race is?

McBush is not going to do anything that his corporate puppet masters don't tell him. Having alligned himself with Bush/Cheney sais it all. He's so out of touch with the actual needs of working America, it's scary. Having recently toured six southern cities, It's apparent to me that the Bush years are taking a negative toll on literally thousands of inner city families. The rural areas are even more impacted yet un noticed.
This election is about hope(Obama) not fear(McCane), green(Obama) not greed( McCane). You watch and see both Bush and Cheney speak at the RNC to support McCane. With friends like that,who would seriously vote for McCane??

Never in the entire history of America, has anyone presidential canditate emerged as strong as Sen. Barack Obama. Obama has ispired millions of Americans and has given them a glimse of their long forgotten dreams. I think this guy has come on the right time when the Americans peopls are desperate in need of a wise leader to rescue the country from sinking and to restore back into the hearts of every single America the hope the had lost in their own country. Those who are intensively working to undermine Obama's call for a foundamental change in this country of great previlage are those who has disregard for the middle class Americans and the working class America. I only hope that we look not into our racial class. We're one people of one country. let's unite to change this country. God bless us all, God bless America, and God bless our heroic leader Sen. Barack Obama.

White Americans will always find a reason to vote against an Obama presidential ambition. I mean white Americans from Bill Clinton to the last republican out there. White people are generally almost the same when it comes to issues of race, whether they are democrat or republican.

If Obama losses, he will loss not because of his past, his agenda or his religion. He will loose simply because of the very fact that he is BLACK and has a BLACK family. What else can the man do? He has led out a solid plan to restore this country back to its past glory and prosperity. He is dropping in the polls because for once, white Americans are waking up to the reality that a black man has a chance to be elected president. Charles Barkley summed it up very well last night on CNN when he decried that if Obama was a white man, he will be trouncing McCain in the polls by double digits right now. If Obama was a white man and given the present condition of things in the country, McCain won’t stand a chance in the polls come November. But again, we live in the United States of white America where racism and discrimination still rules supreme.

If Obama looses in November, the racial divide in this country will only deepen. It will most definitely reaffirm the world’s view of most Americans as racist and proponents of the neo con white rule and dominance, which the Bush Cheney white house propagated. It will further clip America’s wings abroad to continue to preach the gospel of human rights and self determination. The world will wake up to the full reality that America is a land of hypocrites. The resentment for Americans in the world will only continue to grow.

dean O!

And your guy McBush - he is 100% blue-collar guy. 11 or 7 houses or 5 houses, private plane, 500 dollar shoes, country club, water skiing with Georgia president (Do you remember Kerry), etc.. He really understands how hard it is to be poor or middle class...
Come on, dean O, you can do better than this,

Obama: I'm Not Really a celebrity. Maybe an elitist Harvard Lawyer. Maybe a charleton, but not a celebrity.its real telling that clinton never said Obama was READY to be president; only that the Dems should support him. a good speech but not effective for the critics. Obama the celebrity just keeps digging his grave deeper. after last nights convention a party for insiders, and holywood stars, and recording industry. He is just turning off more of small town america. who wants to see people like clooney, barkley, jason alexander, damon, afflack whopping it up on the convention floor. its disgusting and does nothing for his image. an elitst harvard lawyer is going to have trouble relating to working blue-collar men and women.

"I could get a Indonessia passport if my mum married an indonessian! I dont have to give up my USA passport to get one! "

NO YOU COULDN'T... BECAUSE INDONESIA DOES NOT SUPPORT DUAL CITIZENSHIP WITH ANY OTHER COUNTRY!

And as to the question of what passport Obama used...... it's a matter of record.

Do your homework!

Even veterans POW's won't be voting for McCain... I wonder why ?

republicans have never done a damn thing for the workers.

The workers in this country need ot band together and keep the rpeublicans out of congress and the white house.

The fact is if we do not get more moeny and benefits into the hands of the workers this economy and this ocuntry will not get any better.

McCain has no plans to return prosperity to the worker. McCain's pan is the same as Bush's plan, get the money to the welathy and the corporations and they supposedly will create new high paying jobs and pay people more...

That didn't happen when Bush gave out tax breaks, so why would it work if McCain does it to... it won't

wake up people, a vote for a republican is a vote for 4 more years of republican crap

Anyone of us can stand in front of people and speak about what is wrong with America today, because we are living it. I don't need any politician to do that. We need someone who is going to speak on how they plan to change those things that are not working.

As an Independent voter I could care less about the big rocks bands used to attract people to hear politicians speak. I attend to hear them speak about the issues.

Read the words above in the article, just what substance was said? Was anything said specifically how he is going to lower inflation, make a stronger dollar, make an energy policy, pay for all the social programs, where is the substance?

Anyone can say these things but, how are you going to do them, whats your plan. Will you take this trip, if you don't know the road you are going to take?

"I'm just going to remind everyone here, this election is not about me, it’s about you," Obama said. "It’s about who is going to be fighting for you, who is going to be listening to you, who has been, for the last 20 years, standing side-by-side with you. Making sure that unions can organize, making sure that people who don’t have health insurance can get health insurance, making sure that kids can go to college who couldn’t go before. Who has a track record of fighting for you?"

LOL which fictional character is he describing here? He's hoping for the sucker votes with this list of blatant deceptions. Pied Piper!

Watch how Obama wants to disarm country....his staff posted the video!

What are the Obama activists....they are almost as large as the group he's talking to? Why the need for that. Sen. McCain just goes to town halls and passes the mic to anyone in the room with a question, unlike Bozo who is afraid of question, especially in debates which he fails so miserably.
NEVER OBAMA, HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

"beware false prophets...."

I will take your advice at heart.

The duplicity of McCain leaving out Cindy's income while trumpeting both their gifts to charity have already been settled.
And yes, they donated their money to their own Charity Fund, which in turn funneled their money to the private schools their childern attended:

Brophy College Preparatory School happens to be the prep school that McCain's two sons attended.
Christ Lutheran School happens to be the private school that McCain's Daughter attends.
Xavier College Preparatory happens to be where one of his other daughters attended.

In other words McCain was taking a tax deduction for donations to elite private schools that his children have attended. Perfectly legal but…

hmmmmm

Are you a Pakistan passport control agent ? How would you know what passport he used ?

I could get a Indonessia passport if my mum married an indonessian! I dont have to give up my USA passport to get one!
That the rules there! My sister taught english over there and that how easy it is! It not exactly a nation that wants to keep people out!

"with a foreign (Indonesian?) passport?"

Hmmmmm.

Keep making stuff up, don't you?

Simple American Passport. He had already been living in the US for ten years by then.

You guys remind me of the Truthers. You aren't Corsi, by any chance?

S Adams: "I'm leaving you to your delusions. Good night."

S Adams suddenly realizes this campaign is far from over and realizes McCain and the Republicans have made some serious strategic errors. Their own words will come to bite them. Most don't realize it yet, but it appears it has become apparent to S Adams.
