McCain should explain why Obama wants to talk about his race and name
911FamiliesforAmerica.org ^ | June 25, 2008 | Tim Sumner

Last week, Senator Obama made this assertion:

"We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. ‘He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?'"

Senator McCain should have responded this way:

"Barack Obama wants you to think about his race and name.

"He does not want you to think about his lack of preparedness for the Presidency of the United States or managing billion dollar government programs or serving as Commander-and-Chief in time of war.

"Mr. Obama is still that kid in college who said...

143 days on the job should be plenty of time for Obama to have prepared to fill the shoes once filled by Ronald Reagan.

Problem is, McCain to too concerned with a dignified campaign and projecting an "above it all" image.

Which ain't gonna cut it. Since he has no stomach to battle his opponent, he should follow the advice I gave on June 7

McCain should suspend his campaign

<<>>> It will not be the Republican Campaign that will scare me on Obama. It is Obamas Campaign that will scare me on Obama. The more I hear him the more scared I get for America.

What McCain should be doing, and what he IS doing, are two different things. It is his election to lose, he has had his entire campaign strategy handed to him on a plate, and he had better get with it.

“above it all”. He's totally out of it all. He's clueless.

That would be an excellent response. One only wishes he would say something like that.

Maybe, on his campaign stump, McCain could include an apology for obama’s obsession with his name and his race. Just a thought... :)

McCain Campaign Charged with Racism

Democratic presidential candidate Senator Obama charged that his Republican rival, Senator McCain, “is engaged in a ‘time-worn’ and insidiously subtle racist campaign against me.”

Obama said he bases his accusation on logic and observation. “The Republicans have no winning issues,” Obama claimed. “Polls consistently show the voters disapprove of the same old Republican economic and foreign policies. If they have no winning issues, logically, all that’s left is a smear campaign focused on race.”

“Evidence of this ancient strategy is already there for those who look for it,” Obama contended. “Senator McCain has yet to congratulate me for becoming the first African-American to win a major Party nomination. This disrespects my historic achievement. Was he as reticent in congratulating the first White-American to attain such a height?”

The Illinois senator also took issue with Republican assertions that he lacks adequate experience for the job. “Saying I’m ‘too inexperienced’ to be president is a clever way of reminding voters that they’ve never placed their trust in a Black man before, so why start now,” Obama said. “It’s a scare tactic worthy of the KKK.”

McCain is following the stupid Bush policy of not dignifying charges. That’s why Bush is an idiot and McCain will be sent out to the field after the election.

The list of things McCain should do and won’t is endless.

“The more I hear him the more scared I get for America.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Two things are extremely scary to me.
No. one, the media are busy licking the feet of Obama, the people who are supposed to be the fourth branch of government who are supposed to expose fraud are as useless as teats on a boar hog, nay they are much worse, they willingly support this fraud as they willingly supported the Clintons until their new messiah arrived.

No. two, we have millions of voters who lack the brains to accomplish anything meaningful on their own, there should be requirements for voting other than simply being eighteen and breathing. People who have near zero knowledge of how this nation came into being have no business voting. People who have never lived a day without being taken care of by parents or others have no business voting. People who cannot name one single accomplishment of the person they intend to vote for have no business voting. I could go on and on but enough.
