“3. Senator McCain does not support the SB2433, the Global Poverty Tax. This bill written by Barack Obama mandates that an 845 billion dollar tax be extracted from Americans on top of the support we willfully give to the third world. This payment amounts to a 255.00 payment per month be given to people outside the United States whose income falls below our standard of living. This tax will be collected by the IRS, given to the United Nations for distribution which will find its way into the despots instead of the poor its intended to.”

This paragraph right here is quite a selling point for ANY American, regardless of party leaning, to reject an Obamanation. WOW!

Actually, it is quite specifically Black people who SHOULD vote for McCain. If you’ve put in the blood, sweat, and tears to pull yourself up by your boot straps and build your life and the lives of your family into something good and noble and admirable, you certainly don’t want everything to be pulled down by a hard Left socialist who’s planning to tax everything of any value, and regulate everything having to do with economic gain. You’ve worked hard and you’ve made it; do you want it taken away for the sake of yet more Liberal giveaways calculated merely to garner the votes of the mob who covet what you’ve earned? Not if you’re sane, you don’t.

Great point. McCain should be mentioning SB2433 that Obama will pass to make Americans pay for @ 845 billion dollars ($255 per month per person paid to people OUTSIDE the U.S.).

About the video I had posted that you told me was produced by a Freeper, man that was an excellent video. The guy on the video is GORGEOUS with an incredible smile and a GREAT attitude and of course his head is screwed on sraight! I really think he is good enough to go into show business. He has a really strong “stage” presence.

“I’ll be voting for McCain because he sucks less than Obama.”

That good. I would vote for McCain just because of his military service and his personal sacrafice for the country.

Fortunately, I also like his policies. Palin has had a good effect on pushing him slightly more to the right which I have liked seeing.

I’m glad you’re voting for McCain-Palin.

“Remember when Jackie Robinson was chosen to break the color barrier, how he had the right temperament? Obama has the exact opposite temperament and will have a reverse Jackie Robinson effect for America.”

What a great observation. It really shows your insight. That’s a very forward thinking realization. Thanks.

“I just spent the last two hours surfing black conservative websites and forums. I had no idea there were so many.”

Me too. I was encouraged to see how many people were willing to honest about voting for McCain-Palin even though they would have been expected by many of their peers to be voting for Obama-Biden.

There’s nothing like a good education, a little means, and a few years to shift a person’s political views to the right.

Go McCain-Palin!!!

“J.C. Watts was one of my favorite Congressmen. He always had a positive attitude. As far as I know he always came down on the right side of issues. If I learned more about him and my perception held up, I would vote for that guy without hesitation, to be President of the United States.”

Thanks for your post. I, too, have been watching J.C. Watts for many years now and I too have been very impressed. There’s nothing I’d like more than to cast my vote for the first Black President. I am still sorry Barack Obama was not that man.

Thanks BioChemky. It will happen in time, and we’ll share the experience of voting for the right guy. You take care.

It is unfortunate that Obama is not that guy, but substance over timing is our only course of action.

I pray that Blacks are not saddled with a guy like Obama, to be their first presidential leader. What an insult...

I want the guy to represent them well, heck us all well.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Jackie Robinson was also a Republican, and he encouraged the black community to not get concentrated on one party alone, because he was exactly afraid of what’s happening today: The Plantation Effect.

He knew that the Democratic party in the short term would have helped some in the “community” with their economic benefits, but he also knew that in the long run, the best way to stop the race from being marginalized was to do what other oppressed minority groups did in this country.

Build from their ghettos, make a few businesses that made it big and attracted a crossover appeal, then expand their locations in the suburbs with their good name and reputation there. That’s how come we have such great Americans such as Famous Dave Anderson, the Native American barbecue magnate. That’s how Asians moved out from the San Francisco ghettos. But across the bay, the blacks are still reeling because of the whole “5 acres and a mule” mentality.

You should read more about Jackie Robinson. He was a man that was FAR ahead of his time.

No, it’s the wrong guy. I’m actually TypeZoNegative, the “Zo” in this case stands for my first (But seldom used) first name, Alonzo.

Hi Zo!

I started to put it all together after I posted my message. Sorry!

Sounds like you’re in the SF Bay Area...? Me, too - East Bay, formerly lived in SF. You’re absolutely right.

My late father was born in Oakland - he would never recognize it now.

PS - Looks like we have two Zo’s - the man with the YouTube video is a Freeper, too!

It’s an awesome video.

Nice to meet you.

This tax will be collected by the IRS, given to the United Nations for distribution which will find its way into the despots instead of the poor its intended to.

Poorly-written sentence. The tax most likely would, as intended, find its way into the hands of despots instead of the poor.

Nope, I’m from the North Star State. We have our own San Francisco and Oakland, before both of our cities became “Oakland”.
