Are you saying not voting for Obama or questioning his postion makes someone a racist? Or are you saying because he is African-American he should automatically win the election?

Well, this has veered way off-topic.

Anywho, on the local news tonight they had a repoter on the street type deal asking people what they thought of McCain's VP pick, Palin. Most people said "who?" So, McCain can ask "who?" right along with them.

Repubs, and Dems are two sides of the same coin to me, but you gotta go with your gut instincts, when dealing with the lesser of two evils. The repubs have MADE profit, the dems under Clintoon STOLE their profit, and sold us out to foreigners in the process. There's a difference. Making a profit is legal, selling secrets to the enemy is TREASON.

This is the most nutty bunch of trash I ever read.Truly ill.

What I am saying is that the US is so racist that even talking to an average american about it is like the old saw about asking a fish "Hows the Water?" to which he replies-"Water,what water?"
Its so deeply imbedded folks cant even see it.

McCain is the classic opportunist. Palin has absolutely no experience and doesn't offer anything. If McCain kicks the bucket do you really want somebody as clueless has her to be Preisdent??? The only reason he picked her is to try and win some pissed of hillary supporters. For no other reason than because she is a woman. Obama picked Joe Biden because of his wealth of experience in his 36 years in the Senate. His foreign affairs record is one of the finest in Washington. Joe Biden brings important experiences to the table and has many things to offer. That is the difference. Obama picks somebody intelligent, experienced, and highly respected. McCain picks some random chick because she might win over some hillary supporters. Thats it. Opportunist.

Impulsivity may be more appropriate. it is thwarting the Obama bounce in the poll especially with Rasmussen and that was a short term plus for the selection. I find it amazing to read that they are using the time on the bus to bond and get to know each other since they know so very little to be incredible about his execution and decision making judgement.

According to his campaign he met her in February and then again on Thursday at his ranch where they conversed and he offered her the job. So in a way they had two meetings but only one really before he offered her the job. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm and wow but ok if thats what you consider good executive decision making then go for it. I hope he meets with his Secretary of State more then once before surprising us with a war.

nah he isn't that low on the totem pole. He probably would love for to fall asleep with her head on his shoulder while riding their bus together. I wonder if in his mind however he has lusted a tad or two.
