not the little white house which isn't exactly what Obama would aspire to.

Yeah, and that was a rousing success of socialism, wasn't it?
Absolutely correct! Racism most certainly is a huge factor in this election.
98% of blacks will pull the lever for Obama the Magic Muslim, for no other reason than his race.
Any “true republican” who thinks that a Marxist from Chicago is “in line with the GOP’s original values”, has gone to the bong one too many times. Leach is NOT a Republican. He’s a RINO.
What percentage of the black community is voting for Senator Obama just because he's black? It is far greater than the percentage of the white community voting for Senator McCain because he's white.
Jim Leach endorsed Obama at the RAT Convention??? Wow. I wonder what they found in his FBI file.
He writes that race is a factor, and probably it is, but its Democrats who are making it a factor, because race-obsession is part and parcel of who they are.
If you don't care about race, if you aren't interested, if you are far more interested in a man's character and philosophy, you are probably a Republican, or you are headed our way.
If you would vote for someone, or against someone based on his race, you are probably a Democrat. God bless you, you are in the party you belong in.
You'll note that the Democrat quoted in the article didn't say, "I just couldn't vote for a guy who has never held productive employment of any kind in his entire life". He didn't say, "I just couldn't support a socialist", nor did he say "I couldn't support anyone who would throw Petraeus' victory in the dumpster". Had he said those things, I'd have thought he might be Republican quality.
But, no, he just focused on Obama's race, like most of Obama's supporters and like a disappointing number of his Democrat opponents. Which means, he may vote McCain this time, but he's not a Republican until he can get over his race issues.
"Character". "Philosophy". These are the things that matter. Vote for a man who could look Putin in the eye without wetting himself.
Race baiting - and too many conservatives bite on it.
There are so many legitimate reasons why the Democratic candidate is paper thin, but they still serve to weaken the arguement by trotting down into the mud.
“When former Iowa Congressman Jim Leach”
He knows Obama will up the ethanol subsidies, which he can’t count on McCain for; so he sold his party affiliation to him who will pay more for it.
Leach is not a “true” Republican nor is he like “old-school” Republicans. He’s a a socialist RINO.
Anybody out there mind being in a foxhole with Jim “the leach”?
That would NOT include a personal right to bear arms. It WOULD include a right to crossdress at the office and drop trou in whatever bathroom you choose. And it DOES apparently include support for the global poverty tax because if we can't get rid of the world's poor with the money from the American taxpayer, at least we can increase poverty at home to "equalize" things. You can't just set your thermostat at whatever you'd like y'know...
What is a man? I guess not a baby. Babies have no protected rights to freedom in the Democrat Party.
The author needs to point out just when his Democrat Party changed into the "original Republican Party".
Sounds good, let's limit the amount of land non-citizens can buy. In Mexico the standard is ZERO.
DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. And THEN tell us all how Republicanism was founded on SOCIALISM and that there is no bigger SOCIALIST candidate for the presidency than Barack Hussein Obama. PLEASE come out of the closet and tell people to vote SOCIALIST. Please please please!!!
Americans find the tyranny of socialism repugnant. Let's take the mask off and we can get past this phony slur that people who won't vote for Obama are "racists". We hate the guy's politics and personal aliances with known antiAmerican radicals. We don't hate his skin color or ethnicity.
Operation CHAOS?
And I guess this puts an end to the myth that "Republicans won't vote for him because he's black". I voted for Alan Keyes in the Texas primary.
It's RACIST to call people of my skin color "a white" and to refer to "a black candidate". I am against people using a color as a noun instead of an adjective when discussing SOME people. It dehumanizes the person based on skin color.
The black (author) properly used the word 'black' to refer to a black (candidate). But not when he discussed how whites (potential voters) won't vote for "a black" (candidate).
I'm getting sick and tired of hearing the term "whites" in this racist campaign and I am serious. We all deserve the dignity of not being called a color. We seem to have gotten beyond the notion of calling black people "blacks". The point has been stressed by calling them the latest term that they have insisted on being called "African-Ameericans".
Note the same ill advised use of these terms...
And this follows the media's template in push polling.
When asked in the economy how YOU are doing, poll respondents say "not bad". When asked how they think the economy is going, they say "terrible".
It is projection and wholly unscientific. These people are making up answers and guessing how bad a problem is or isn't based on media portrayls.
And to think they called Senator Joseph McCarthy a paranoid hate monger...
Theoretically, if the Democrat who wouldn't vote for Obama because he is black lied to a pollster, his lie would be negated by his friend who would out him to the media authorities as a bigot when that friend is polled.
Poll samples ARE that random, right? RIGHT?
Depends on the "issues" 'don't it'?
If we look at the election in terms of major liberal agenda items of gun control, same sex marriage, and abortion there is a wide distrinction in positions of Obama and McCain and I can assure you that Obama is NOT in the majority opinion.
Conservatives give a thumbs down to Bush's stance on immigration and McCain's stance on immigration, but Obama's stance is no better.
Is "the war" where Obama is raging over "thumbs down" on the GOP "stands"?
Without itemizing the issues it is just a DNC talking point to say that the public doesn't like the GOP stands. Congress' approval numbers are even lower. Single digit. Lousy talking point for the Democrats to claim they hold the views that Americans support.
