Republicans espouse less government, but their administrations don't follow through on that promise.
You got me there!!.............. I'm not saying, Republicans have all the answers by any means. Matter of fact, I'm really disappointed. We are just not left with many choice's and the thought of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama being completely in charge is just frightening.
I do believe, due to the people who want to attack us, is why it lead President Bush in this direction. But I still don't agree with his policy, when our borders are wide open. That's off topic so I won't go there.
Just admit you were wrong. McCain is leading in the rich white demographic. Pointing out one or two or three (or any number of Hollywood stars) that support Obama doesn't change that.
This is now the 10001 connection to race I've heard. Any opposition on anything about Obama makes you a racist. racist racist racist racist. It does not work!
I could write a book as to the REAL reasons why people do not trust Obama. And the book would not even contain a single page about race!
Thanks for the rep 3shepherds. I'd hate to see you waste your time with the same "tar baby" I did.
Your so welcome and I'm done. Hard to debate with someone who is not listening to others. I don't even think he took the time to realize your black and you would know what the people think!!!
Maybe when Obama becomes President Folks will start talking about race in the open. Not just in this thread. Nomatter what background or income bracket trust of race will be an issue until we can heal the wounds of past slavery. This has to happen in an bigger forum, and done with grace. Try to stay on issue folks. enough mud throwing.
Have people forgotten that he's half white!!! So who's being racist!!!
Basically they don't want the United States to turn into the Chicago ghetto. That's what they're thinking in their head, but they won't admit it.
Chicago has one of the most different political scenes in the nation. It's always been a far left thing. So in that sense your right. Some people don't want it.

Reason: spelling
This is not about racism.
OBAMA is a great motivational speaker. That's it.
I would love to hear Obama everyday on the radio speak about motivational things.
That's all what OBAMA is.
He is NOT qualified to be the President of the United States.
Hillary said so.
Biden said so.
Bill Clinton said so.
Palin has more executive experience than him.
What has OBAMA done for the people?
NONE but make outrageous promises that prey on people with more greed than common sense.
The people who are crazy are the ones who are blinded by greed and hailing Obama as the Messiah.

These two, and quite a few others herein, very well said. I do not care about the skin, ethnic, religion, etc. - its the background, the history, the choices, the decisions, the underlying beliefs of the candidate that get me to make a selection. And Obama is not it...
Dont turn this into a racial deal. He is young and hasnt been in politics and authority long enough. Perfectly good reasons to not trust him, NOT RACE!!!
But it IS a racial deal. It IS a problem in this country and unless it is addressed, it will not go away. Frankly, I think white people are scared to death of what will happen if a black man becomes president. I don't they are horrible people for thinking that electing a black man is the wrong thing to do because I HONESTLY THINK THEY ARE TERRIFIED. The racial divide in this country has been solid and trying to go past the color issue, whether it be in relationships, employment or housing has always been a difficult thing for whites to handle.
If Obama does not get elected, I doubt it will be too much longer before a black man (100% not just half black) or hispanic (Most likely Mexican) since the whites will soon be the minority in this country.
I don't trust him because I don't know anything about him. He came from nowhere,
And Palin's been around for a long time? All we know about John is that he has been a BUSH supporter (both Bush's) for years!
