McCain and the Neanderthal vote

If we don't like his position on any given topic, well, it must be because we're too busy ironing our robes and hoods and lighting crosses to read up on the issue. It couldn't POSSIBLY be because we've already gotten past the race thing and just don't like where he stands, as a candidate. (All of this happened with Hillary too, but with her, of course, it was the gender card.)

I don't hear McCain supporters jumping up and down about how they don't want a BLACK MAN in office, not even in private one-on-one discussions. What worries most of us more is his association with people who are ON RECORD as hating white people, as hating America. You are whom you associate with, to a large extent, and that really does bother me in reference to Obama.

Oh--and one more thing: If Obama wins, I'm assuming part of this glorious, high-gloss "CHANGE" will be to abolish the kind of bigotry and hate shown in the original post? Or will it only be kicked up a few notches?

To celebrate Obama as the Second Coming merely because he's black--or half-black, as someone pointed out--is to miss the point of what a Presidency is all about.

For Crissakes, since you are indirectly talking about the Reverned Wright, did you even bother hearing the mans whole quote, or do you only want to hear the "Goddamed America" part of it since Faux News told you so?
Listen or read what he said before that and I doubt you can seriously think what he said had no merit at all.

Ugh! Ooooga ooooga ooooga.

There used to be, people were crying after posting messages like the OP posted and then complained when they got a neg rep.

If your attempting to say that the quotes were cut up to make them sound like Wright said something that he didnt say then its obvious that you did not hear the whole thing.

I have listed to his whole quote, actually heard the whole sermon in fact (and I mean the whole thing, from hello, to goodbye)... it holds absolutely no merit at all, and the quotes were not taken out of substance by "Fox News"

Now, as I stand back and take a gander at John McCain who is truly a pathetic man, I wonder about the preferences of these 61 million Neanderthals. Can they be reasoned with? Are they blind to history in the making here? Are they so blinded by race that they would again support a candidate who has no more business being president than Yosemite Sam?

I have no faith that those Neanderthals are capable of doing the right thing, so I think it's safe to say that Obama will not get the Neanderthal vote. I for one am very glad of that.

It is sad that not everyone can be as sophisticated as you. Only the most evolved of the species can create the argument of calling someone a name. I once saw a child that must have been a savant because he was able to do that at age 4.
