Re: Comments about McCain vs. Obama survey

When this first started, I was behind Mrs. Clinton because I recognized her as a strong woman who stood by her convictions. But the longer this race has gone on, the more I realized I couldn't trust her - she felt too much like Bush to me. I'm not in favor of universal health care especially when that will cut into my benefits - NO MRS CLINTON - DO NOT TOUCH THE FEHP! But then what I considered to be strong convictions because a person who looked just like Bush - only what she wants counts - and then I saw a woman who only looks out for the "white working class" - oh well, at least I have experience being left out in the cold!

Re: Comments about McCain vs. Obama survey

Obama is a communist bar none. He fit right in the hate America crowd. Bird of a feather flock together. He is the most far left senator in the senate. He association with Bill Ayer of the Weather Underground, Reverend Wright the Hate America vitrol and he mentoring with members of the Communist Party while in his teenage years in Hawaii. The latest of the vitol of his "friend the Fr. Pfleger who her orginally claimed he shared his view shared his view. And his wife Michelle's statement about the first time she was proud of America, and other member of the Hater America crowd. The individual is not fit to flip hamburgers. and clearly is not fit to lead the United States of America.

Re: Great Candidates!

I am an african american and a vietnam vet. I agree with you. Yes , I could vote for McCain. Hillary will in my opinon do anything to get elected and I mean anything. the lady has something to proved and being president comes second. she has a serius personality problem that's underlaying.

Re: Great Candidates!

If you can't distinguish a difference between Obama and McCain then you need to learn to read. Sorry for having to be so blunt. May Jesus save us from from Christians and voters like you.

Re: Now I Understand

Dear Child.....

If a Colin Powell, or Clarence Thomas, or another individual of that stature were to be a nominee, I would vote for them!!!! Your candidate Obama is a closet Marxist as far as I am concerned, and I despise Marxism and everything it represents! That is why I am not voting for him!

Get over it. Just because people oppose Obama does not automatically make them a racist! You sound more like a racist than those you accuse!

Re: Now I Understand

Dear Adjudicator, you missed the point - the point is the judging Mr. Obama because of people that he knows - he must be this because Dr. Wright said something - follow along with me - and try not to get lost - people you know say something so now I can't vote for you because you stayed - that's the logic so many people are using - my point is this - if staying somewhere influences him - then the logic follows that people who stayed in this country when they legalized "strange fruit" are just like Mr. Obama and that's why they are afraid of him. Understand? And to vote for Mr. Thomas - you must be out of your mind!!!! The closest man in the past years to a honorable African American in politics was Mr. Powell - and honorable he was - he knew a stinky rat when he smelled one!

Re: Now I Understand

Boy, this presidental election is going to create a firestorm! If I don't choose Obama, people like you automatically label me a racist. Never mind that I may not happen to agree with his political position on some things. Obama has stated several times that votes should not be cast based on race. Did you know that?
Your comments obviously indicate that your feelings on this matter. Sorry, it's not a black vs white issue. You demean Obama when you voice opinions such as you did- he has merit based on his qualifications - none of which have to do with his being black. Yep, racism is alive and well alright - ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.

Re: Now I Understand

What is this nonsense. It is so poorly written that it does not make sense. If I did not vote for Obama, am I a racist?
I voted for Clinton in the primary. If the race is between Obama and McCain I will probably vote for Obama. This is not to avoid a racism charge. It is because Obama has views close to mine that the radical Republican right.
The issue has nothing to view with racism. Also, please note that blacks voted very heavily for Obama. Does that make them racist?
Please note that some voters will vote with race in mind. This is true whether they are black or white. Cut the racist nonsense and talk about the issues.

Re: Now I Understand

So, if we don't vote for Obama, we are racist?I see.Your way of no way.It could not possibly be that our opinions differ, not because of color, but because of concern for our country's future?Get over the persecution complex that has infected so many Americans, and is used as an excuse for failure.Don't you realize you are playing right into Whitey's hand:he wants you to feel oppressed and downtrodden, that way you will become apathetic as the attitude is handed down from one generation to the next. There is a great future in America for everyone,but don't expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter.
If anyone has a right to feel stepped on, it is the American Indian.Look at what has been done to his former home.He has been evicted, and confined to reservations on land so poor a jackrabbit has to pack his lunch to get across.The American Dream is still alive, but only to those who do not make dreams their master,but use dreams as a goal to work towards.

Re: Now I Understand

So...I must be out of my mind to consider voting for Clarence Thomas for President, but you are completely reasonable to be voting for Obama! Gee, I did not know you had a monopoly on wisdom. Quite frankly, I consider my opinion as valid as yours and I know a Marxist when I hear one!!!

Re: Now I Understand

Yep Mr Adjudicator - you're out of your mind to vote or even suggent C. Thomas as President - and you keep leaving out Socialist Clinton -

I like Condi after all at least she is in touch with America - she told the truth - I just love her - America has a birth defect! The most powerful woman in world - and she's truthful too - how did she get mixed up with GW hmmmm

Re: Now I Understand

Well lets see, I want to socialize medicine, increase social programs, punish wealth, I sat in a Pew while my pastor spewed hate, my wife is ashamed of america(the same america that afforded her an excellent opportunity to succeed at whatever endevour she attempts). Racist? Marxist? Well, if my lack of respect for Obama is either racist or anti-marxist I'll wear the title proudly.

Re: Now I Understand

Dear IT Specialist at DFAS
Since you have expressed your personal opinion, here is mine: You must be completely delusional to consider Obama as a viable candiate for President. But then, of course, since you are apparently a part of the "Liberal Establishment" of this nation, that is no surprise! The vast majority of our nation's problems can be attributed to the zealots and doomsayers who comprise this misguided and mis-informed "establishment." Have a good day.

Re: McCain

Dear Program Assistant -

You don't even realize that the overwhelmingly liberal media is doing such a great job in its goal to brainwash you!

What you said don't even sound like your own thoughts, but rather like something out of the Washington Post! To hear you talk, Bush is the root of all evil - oh, but I guess you DO think that.

Re: McCain

"We will wipe IRAN of the face of the Earth if they attack Israel" ---Hillary Clinton
Sounds like a real Dove to me.
Never give power to someone who has something to prove.
Guess that eliminates Obama and Clinton.

Re: McCain

The fact that I'm just a program assistant does not mean that I don't think. In fact I do think alot plus I don't always watch the new or read the paper. But the fact that the economy is terrible and the price of gas has gone up in the last four years to me is not an indication of the president helping the american people. He and his family are in the oil business along with McCain. So tell me he is not making money off this war or the idea that his family is friends with the Binladin family is not important (this to me does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling).

I am not a democrat or a republican as I don't agree with some of the ideas of both candidates but, I believe that we need to protect our borders so terriost can not enter the our country and we should not be protecting every other country because if we were in the same situation as some of the countries we are fighting for do you honestly think they would come help us (I don't think so).

Re: McCain

Program Assistant - I didn't mean to imply you don't THINK - obviously, I wouldn't be that presumptuous. However, I think the state of the economy is CYCLICAL - it has precious little to do with who is in the White House, but more to do with changes in the market and a million other factors (including those living beyond their means). Nor do I believe all that about Bush being "in bed" with all the petroleum giants - if that was the case, wouldn't you think things would be BETTER as far as gas prices go? I don't like paying on average $3.75 for gas either, but I'm not ignorant enough to think it's all Bush's fault - give me a break!

Re: Obama vs. McCain

I am an african american; vietnam vet with two brothers buried in arlington cemetery. both killed nam. there were five brothers who went off to war at various times. three returned home alive 2 came home in boxes. How do you stop racism in this country??? you tell me!!!!
I think the black man and woman have done everything humanly possible. In time of war you call upon us to serve; we are there. when you take a look at our country , the only real ally the white man has id the black. because he has as much of a stake in this country as the white man. they don't read there history.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

IT Specialist,

You want to know how to stop racism? Keep people like Wright out of the pulpit. Instead of teaching hatred like he does, find people who want to talk about the positives the African American community has contributed. Then use that to encourage others to
do the same. As silly as it sounds, people can accomplish much with reason, smarts, and determination. Flinging hatred in public places (like Church) doesn't do anything but create more hatred.
And, IT specialist, there are lots of WHITE men and women who have tried to stop racism also. You need to read the history also - all of it. And, by the way, white men and women are called on everyday to serve this country. Check the records of those who have given their lives. You will see a VARIETY of different ethnics
who were so brave to do so.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

Examiner, why do you refer only to "Republican lies" about Iraq? What the lies the Democrats gave us?

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), 10/10/02

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), 10/9/02.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

Examiner, you tell us that Republican "lies" are what got us into Iraq and yet to conveniently forget to mention that Democratic leaders held the same positions(and no they weren't just echoing the President, they had intelligence access as well). You also conveniently forget to mention the fact that many other countries in the world independently came up with the same conclusions.

Don't omit historical fact just because it doesn't fall into line with your personal agenda, it only exposes you as a partisan hack.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

"do not forget the lies the Republicans gave us about the Iraq war. Where is the poison gas and nuclear development that Iraq was supposed to have been developing"

John Kerry on Feb 3rd, 2003 - "If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."

Re: Obama vs. McCain

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members.

These are reasons why I didn't vote for Kerry in 2004. And why I'm not voting for Hilary Clinton in 2008. And I won't vote for McCain either.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

I am posting this reply because some people think that evidence was found regarding nuclear weapons were being developed in Iraq. No evidence was found. This was determined after Sadaam was toppled. The intelligence reports were found to be alltered.
Again, my political views were shaped after I found out about this. I moderately supported the actions before the lies were exposed. Since they were lies, we do not belong there.

Re: Obama vs. McCain

Examiner, How do you explain the fact that the Intelligence agencies of so many other countries around the world independently came up with the same conclusions? All these other countries lied too? In the same way?

Re: WE need to put race aside and decide what's best f

Who are you kidding? There are people who will vote for Obama just because he is black. This is true for both sides.
