The democrats are doing their best to make it sound like McCain and Bush are attached at the hip. It doesn't matter to them who the republican candidate is. They would have given the nickname "Bush 2" to any of the republican candidates. It doesn't matter to Obama supporters that McCain has "reached across the aisle" and worked alongside democrats on many occasions. Its interesting that Obama supporters get all freaked out when you mention Obama's middle name, but at the same time they call McCain names like McBush, McLame, McSame, etc...
There is no need to alter the name Hussein. That is accurate. But Obama supporters think they are so clever when they alter McCain's last name.

Since I never seriously looked at Edwards with his pretty boy looks and expensive haircuts, I don't know what his experience was. I believe he was a Senator but when I learned he made his fortune as an "ambulance chasing" personal injury lawyer, that was enough for me. And by the way, when his infidelity came out, I was not surprised in the least. He just always had that look of "I'm cute and I know it". Like the boys way back in high school!

Do not forget he flew his jet across the country to get a 400.00 haircut on our money.

Well, besides him being a total waste for his affair, the point I was trying to make was that he was a serious contender for the Presidency, and duing his campaign his lack of experience never came up.

Name 3 significant things that McCain differs with Bush on. If you go back and look at Bush's 2004 presidential campaign, it's the same stuff McCain is spouting.

That's because he was a liberal Democrat. It only matters if you're a conservative Republican.

And Obamas change is larger Gov.....What do you think about how the government grew while it was under Bush?

The term change is used every election that I have seen.....Given the chance for change after a supposedly wonderful 8 years under Clinton the country went right back to republican president....I guess the change they saw wasn't worth sticking to...

Most Black Americans tend to vote on the “Real Issues” not gut feelings or race. There maybe a few who will vote for Obama only because he’s Black, but this is also true for many white males voting for McCain and women for Palin. The majority of Blacks have always voted for a Democratic candidate, so the racist argument only reflects the lack of knowledge. We understand our logic in voting for Obama while others can only speculate and debate as to why. I find it comical that so many are trying to rationalize why we vote the way we do and how we will react to the outcome of the election. When you s/b analyzing the problems with your last Republican choice and trying not to repeat it.

Whether Obama can achieve his goals or not, at least, he has clearly outlined his plans for improving the economy, education system, health care, etc. unlike McCain, yet many whites will still vote for him in November (is this racism). Blacks understand the importance of a change needed in the White House because we tend to be the first one affected by a poor economy. There are many whites and other races who also understand. Just last last month, the news stated that women and minority will be the first to feel the affects of the poor economy (explain why this is, could this also be racism).

I’ve always felt that the Republican Party focused on themselves, the wealth, and the racist Whites with money instead what’s best for the whole country. Bush didn’t change my opinion in his eight years in office and he turned out to be exactly what I expected. I still believe that Bush will have a huge influence on the White House if McCain becomes President as well as the oil companies. So if you find reassurance in believing that Blacks are racist by voting Obama, please continue to do so. I will not try to appease those who demonstrated poor judgment by voting Bush into the White House in the first place.

Finally, those who feels that Blacks are being racist by supporting Obama. How are you voting and why? I'm very curious to read your responses?
