I have a feeling that should (shudder) Obama get elected the white media that swept him in will no longer be needed and will have a hell of a time getting access.
This is his background. This is his history.

>>>>>>>>>>>>......................
he seems to fill so many roles: anti Christ, Der Fuhrer, schizophrenia with delusions of grandeur on and on
and to think he is likely to win in November due to the
hapless GOP..not looking forward to the next 4 yrs

They should just come out and say it: "Its time for America to vote a black person into the Presidency." That's what this is all about. It doesn't matter what his qualifications are, at all. His one and only qualification is that he is black. That's what they mean when they talk about "hope" and "change." America "owes" black people (and Liberals by extension) therefore, we should elect Barak Obama. That's all that this is about. Period. Libs want people to vote for their candidate based on his skin color. Wouldn't Dr. King be proud?

perhaps you are delusional, if Obama gets in, the dumbed down American public will love him, it will be too late to turn back, but keep on dreaming:)

"He is the least qualified major party candidate in American history."
Yes, but some hidden money and control machine, combined with 50 years of dumbed-down government education, has bamboozled enough of the electorate to just maybe vote this guy into the Presidency. These are truly scary times.

my dream is the GOP dumps McCain for a viable candidate..
old, beaten, tortured,liberal and corrupt (keating 5) Mccain is in a way the perfect reflection of the current GOP. and Americans view the party that way, calling toe tappers and senator stevens..the GOP has lived up to the MSM image and yet some here on FR continue to support the
corrupt-globalist-open borders-free trade give away, hiv give away-big spending crooks. sad

That would be great, but it will not happen, but you just keep on dreaming and hold true to those principles of yours.
It is not about supporting McCain as much as it is stopping Obama...if you cannot grasp that then you are not much different than an Obama supporter, full of hopes and dreams for a better day-—by allowing Obama to win.
How with a Dem controlled Congress and President Obama will the conservatives be able to stand and fight? What bills will they block?

McCain loves his country, I agree he is a very flawed candidate, but your plan will not work, but go ahead and hope for change by staying home.

The sorting out of candidates should occur in the primaries, not the general.

“McCain loves his country”
>>>>>.................
the evidence over the last few years is HE does NOT..
remember OPEN BORDERS and Amnesty?? how soon we forget.
or else he has adopted MEXICO as his country perhaps?
