Maybe you aren't aware of the tone of your posts and your incessant Obama-bashing.



You aren't upset that the coming tax increases will be to pay back China for money that Bush borrowed and has already spent? And what do we have to show for all that spending? Where did this record amount of spending go? Where are the new highways, new schools, expanded airports offering better, safer service?

These things upset me.

Obama's candidacy doesn't.



Mine, too. It's hard for me to grasp how 23% of the American public can still support Bush at this point. His approval should really be in the low single digits. Lots of people just don't pay attention.



I understand that Obama has a big challenge ahead of him. He's already knocked over one huge callenge, though. Let's check back in November on your prediction of him losing badly. I predict he'll win narrowly.
trust me, whatever I post, it's done with a smile on my face. anger and violence don't exist with me. those are for politicians. I don't believe they stand in stark contrast. you want to know what I see as the difference between the two? one is a democrat, and one is a republican. mccain is a big government, big spending, deficit loving, warmonger. obama is a big government, big spending, tax loving, warmonger. one loves debt, one causes debt with taxation. what's the difference? for the record, I don't support bush, and I never voted for bush. as for spending. it really doesn't upset me all that much. they could either waste it in iraq, or they could waste it here. it does suck that we blew all that cash in iraq, a country that hates us.

You say there's no difference.

Yet you spend your posting time here slagging on Obama.

Any particular reason there are no 'I love McCain' threads, ya suppose?

Speaking of sheep, certain posters' childish jabs at Obama are no doubt directly commanded from hate radio central.

Good way.... I tend to think that McCain will just be Bush's 3rd term.
It's not like I have a crystal ball and can tell you who will be the best choice... I just go by what seems best. And to me, it's Obama.

I'm voting for him because he will first humiliate the whites, then impoverish them, then kill them.

This poll clearly shows why Obama is getting alot of support. He has a plan for the fture and he inspires people. He makes people believe that the people can have the power again in their country. The fact that he is black comes in a distant 4th place which proves most are not supporting him because of his skin color.
