I hear "he's so intelligent" and to me it's just marketing.
You don't graduate harvard law School magna *** Laude if you aren't somewhat intelligent. Obama's professors there thought him to be exceptionally intelligent.

The world changed drastically in the last two months before the election, in case you weren't paying attention. Things which could have easily been accomplished in July 2008 were infeasible by November.
Give Obama credit for refusing to be a "decider" and drive America all the way off the cliff Bush has us aimed for. I'd much rather have a Large-P President who knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em than the arrogant imbecile masquerading as president for the last eight years.

Not unless you get a handle on why you lost in 2008, you won't. you may not get another republican elected unless you run him as a democrat, and whoever it is had better be a good enough actor to make the public believe what they have to say.

So many things go on behind the scenes that we find out about only years later. I see what just happened in India and I know those SOBs would much rather do us dirty right here. I give GWB credit for preventing the a second attack on US soil. It isn't a matter of if but when it happens again. When it does, Bush might get some credit for accomplishing the nearly impossible. Keep in mind post 9/11 GWB had the highest approval numbers of any President in US history. No president in his second term while at war had good approval numbers. Americans don't like wars to last more than a few years.
Track consumer confidence from 2000 when the economy slipped a little through 9/11 and you'll see a trend in lowered economic expectations that isn't likely to change because we have a new president. Energy costs, medical expenses, food prices and college tuition rates have all increased exponentially and these are daily realities that have combined with the longer running trends of business relocation, outsourcing and downsizing to give the public little reason to be optimistic.
McCain's all the above approach to energy would have helped to alleviate doubts about future energy costs, and scrapping ethanol production and subsidies that cause us to use 29% more fossil fuels to produce it than it yields going away would be a positive step. But try to sell that and still carry the grain belt. Still it would help to reduce food costs that are a family budget issue here but are presently causing riots in the developing world that depends on our food exports. They'll forgive a war, but they'll be a lot less likely to forgive us starving them so we can gas up our Escalaides with E-85.
The rest of those expenses are uncontrollable, so consumer confidence will continue to lag. I can't imagine the sales pitch Obama could make to get us to spend money again.
I dunno, I think the average McCain supporter has WAY more sense than these screwballs. These jaspers are WAY 'round the bend and are more neo-Nazi than Republican.
Maybe so maybe not,
but I will tell you this: Obama supporters most likely would not have gone with a VP who thinks Africa is a country, who left the US for the first time even after I did, and who can 'see Russia from Alaska'
In an effort to understand the type of backwards conservative minds that seem to be infesting this thread. I would recommend reading this: Anti-Semite and Jew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This gives a good overview of an important essay by Jean Paul Sartre. I would actually recommend that people try and read the complete work. I will admit that for those who aren't used to reading philosophy, it may get a bit overwhelming, but stick with it, in this work you will find some great insights into the type of crude thinking as witnessed on this thread.
Is the Democratic Party the new anti-White racist party?

How boring - that tactic used by the left when criticized to insult the other person. They can't refute the information but they can say the opposition is racist, anti semite or dumb because that's about all they know to do.

By all means, please feel free to expand on the OP's claim that the Democratic Party is now anti-white racist. I look forward to your divine insight.
