Oregon college has man hanging Obama poster from a tree.
Cincinnati man hangs Obama ghost from his tree.
If McCain, won by say 2% points or less (not even nationwide, but in your state), well, it's likely those votes from those kind of people put him over the top (or even the subtle ones that don't burn crosses, but think the POTUS should be reserved for a white christian only), would you welcome those votes, if your man would win?
If there's a chance that McCain would win by say, 8 to 10 points, than it's a mute point. However, if anyone could win by that much, I'm 90% sure it would be Obama.

JFK was the first Catholic elected president and he faced severe criticism for his religion.....Of course he was able to overcome because he had a vision and a plan and was not a moron!
Let's remember there have been several Democrats that have been linked to the KKK and racism.....the KKK was founded by the dems and killed Republicans helping Blacks.....even Al Gore voted against civil rights as 85% of dems have always voted against civil rights( you can look it up on the voting record).....Can you name one Republican with ties to the KKK?
I guess those racist folks would be dems.......OUCH! My mother would be one of them......she lives in Southern Indiana and has been a dem her whole life and is now in a HUGE group of teachers for McCain and is even campaigning for him.......OUCH!
I followed my non-racist Republican dad when it came to politics!

Yeah, McCain supporters are the racists, right?

Next time around how about we run a republican for president with a resume like Obama's. White voters our sure to vote for him simply based on his race, right?

I would not want the Nation of Islams vote, even if it would give Obama the election, but they probably make up .000001% of his supporters.

You all already did vote in someone with a resume (about the same amount of overall experience, maybe a little bit more, but bad experience) like Obama. George W Bush.

What did you mean by the same reason?
I've read your postings and your not stupid enough to be asking that question.

There is NO doubt that blacks supporting white politicians (particularly Republicans) get criticized massivly in the black community. Remember "uncle Tom", Cracker comments, or do you want to pretend those terms are not used towards blacks who support whites.

My own gf (black) couldnt date me (a "white" guy) without giving up her family and friends, not a chance you'll get me to think politics is any different

Sorry David Duke was a dem first and switched to the Populist party and then to the Republican party he had to keep switching parties so that he may actually win something....so he was a life-long dem until the late 80's.....no go!

Most intelligent people know there are always the "fringe" crowd that, as McCain's daughter put it, drink way too much caffeine before they arrive at the rallies, etc.

You get "fringe" people in every arena of life. We have them in the church too! lol

Big deal! Life goes on and we laugh.

Blacks supporting white politicians running against another white? I don't follow.
Yea, why blacks would vote Republican with people like Cheney and Palin in it is beyond me.
