I'm warming up to the idea of an Obama presidency

[DarrinS]

I was only luke-warm on McCain in the first place. Besides, things are going well in Iraq now. The economy can't be fucked up any worse than it is. Obama won't be able to afford his socialist agenda. Taxes are going to be raised because of this stupid bailout -- with either candidate. Palin is one heartbeat away from the presidency <gasp>. She's has a bright future in politics, but I don't think she's ready right now. She does have more experience at being the chief executive in govt, even though those govt's were small.


Besides, if Obama doesn't win, we will have major riots, and we don't need that.

One thing still bugs me. Why Biden?


Obama bin Biden 2008 -- get on board.

I think Obama bin Biden will win both the popular and electoral.


EDIT> But why Biden?

[O.J.Simpson]

You bunch of idiots. This is an election not a trial. I even know that.

I'm never enthused about any politician nor the system, which has been completely captured by super-wealthy, system-gaming capitalists and corps.

But foreign, black Muslim unpatriotic HUSSEIN! is so much better than old, sick, senile, unstable, pissed-off, stupid, lying, makes-up-shit, wooden, unlearned, unintelligent McSame with insulting VP, there really is no choice.

HUSSEIN! will have little room to maneuver, due to the neo-c*nt Repugs intentionally bankrupting govt and leaving the long-lasting, "dangerous and effective when taken as force-fed" poison pills of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The best I can hope for a HUSSEIN term is flushing out the destructive, willfully incompetent Repug politicized turds from everywhere in govt and replacing them with competents.

Black will not riot................. :rolleyes Jeez you white folk...... :p:

[Anti.Hero]

If Obama doesn't win we will be called racists for the next 5 years. Fact.


Not that we would care, however many out there cannot comprehend why one would not vote for Obama therefore they must just be racists. Bitter redneck hick sister-marrying bubba the south will rise again racists.


When Obama wins, people will rejoice in the streets now that America has made such a giant leap on acceptance, (no thanks to those racists conservatives). Later down the road, when another conservative black leader steps into the spot light and is beaten bloody by the media/left, people will still ignore the hypocricy.

It's just too damn easy to predict the future.

"we will be called racists"

because YOU are racists, Repugs/right wing/conservatives have been, are, will always be white supremacists, even if only a few admit it.

HUSSEIN getting 90%+ of the black vote (for those blacks the Repugs don't illegally intimidate and disenfranchise) will be completely offset by the Repug/right wing/bubba/NRA/NASCAR/shit-kicker/conservative vote that will NEVER vote for black man just because he's black, no matter what his policies are.

iow, the only reason McLame is still in the race is the Repug racist vote.

Blacks vote 95% for the black guy; Whites are nearly split evenly - and WE'RE the racists???

Got it.

[hater]

Black ppl will not riot if he loses. If he wins, I agree, it's gonna be party after party. It's gonna be crazy. Black + white girls gonna be giving up pussy for free the day Obama wins. I wish he wins just for the partying that's gonna happen. I know I'm gonna party and I ain't even black. It's a historical moment to have a black president.

But I also beleive the white rednecks/supremacists/neonazis will try something crazy like assassinate him. He better get tons of secret service if he wins.

"Whites are nearly split evenly"

"whites" includes non-racists, Dems, independents, dont-give-a-fucks.

The Repug whites are overwhelmingly racists.

this surprises you? wake up. This would be 1st black president, don't you think black ppl realize this and wish this to happen? plus he seems like a good guy so much that half white ppl are voting for him. Plus he is running vs. a 72 year old fart, an old fart that probably used to own a couple of black ppl back in his day. you do the math.

Thanks for making my point.

Racist = Using race in a decision making process. A person who is not racist, is color blind.

So much venom and vitriol.

At least you don't generalize and stereotype people. :rolleyes

"generalize and stereotype people"

generalizing and stereo-typing are useful tools, not all the tools.

I assert that, specifically, white Repugs are racists, Regpugnants are the party of racists. You're welcome to disprove my assertion.

Do you think the Dems are the party of racists?

Repug vs Dem is class warfare, haves vs have-nots, and blacks are overwhelmingly in the have-nots/Dem category, is why the Repugs work so hard every election to disenfranchise blacks JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK.

Then there is the subset of racists who are also namists, people who will NEVER vote for a man exclusivley because his NAME is foreign/Muslim-sounding Barack or Obama. We have at least one namist here in this forum.

A democrat tactic for YEARS.

[TomBrady]

Let's be serious here.

The Republican party in the last century has never been a bastion for civil rights of any kind.

They are openly homophobic today as they were once openly racists towards blacks and other minorities. They are consistently on the wrong side of social progress and only serve to slow the progress that will inevitably be made. Does anyone here seriously believe that gay men and women will not be allowed to marry and obtain the same rights hetero couples get in the 2-3 decades?

[Crookshanks]

Reading this thread shows just what a messed up country we have. People voting for Obama just because he's black, but then calling out those who would vote against him for the same reason. Doesn't matter if he's qualified or not - he'd be the first black president and that's a great reason to vote for him.

I truly am afraid for our country.

i brought that out to a close democratic friend of mine, who happens to be black, and i kid you not.....he said they weren't black enough. he said pretty much all blacks in the republican party aren't black enough :bang

That's exactly the rationale used by the jury that acquitted OJ of murdering Nicole and Ron. Great - let's elect a socialist who's totally unqualified just because we're afraid the black people will riot if we don't.

What does that say about black people?

[clambake]

how do you guys live such a paranoid life?

welcome to reality. Nobody is completely colorblind. Everyone is at very least a bit racist. glad I helped you see real life.

[rascal]

How many blacks were at the Republican convention?

The red states are now predominately the states that were slower to adopt civil rights for blacks. In the 1960s the Dems had a strong hold in the south but as the Dems embraced the civil rights movement that began to change and the south turned to being a more Republican base.

[baseline bum]

If there were no riots after 2000, what makes anyone here make the ridiculous claim there will be this year?

Im gonna go to KFC and order two buckets of FRY chicken if Obama wins!!!! :fro
