Obama's friends, not racism, may decide race
Daily Tribune ^ | 10 October 2008 | Opinion

Posted on 10/10/2008 9:55:49 AM PDT by Terrence DoGood

So Obama is leading in the states that will decide this election, according to pollsters. But in each of these states, undecideds total somewhere between 4 percent and 9 percent of those surveyed.

In the primaries — the Democratic primaries against Sen. Hillary Clinton — Obama led in polls in New Hampshire 38.3 percent to 30 percent for Clinton. He lost that election, with Clinton winning 39 percent of the vote and Obama 36.4 percent.

In California, polls showed him up 44 percent to Clinton's 42.8 percent. Clinton took 51.9 percent of the actual vote, and Obama won 42.3 percent.

In both cases, undecided Democrats broke almost unanimously for Obama's opponent.

Many analysts have interpreted this phenomenon as evidence of deep-seated racism in America. But another interpretation, and one we think more likely, is that the media in this country have created a climate of fear in which it is better not to tell the truth than risk being seen as politically incorrect.

But consider this possibility: Maybe these undecideds will decide not to vote for Obama to protest the fact that major media reporters have so far refused to ask Obama the questions that need answering.

We can only hope the polls are wrong. I’ve never been so scared in my life. I could have jumped through the tv and throttled McCain during the last debate. He has to come out swinging next week or we’re toast.

The only racist in this race is Obama. McCain would’ve been drummed out before it all began if he’d kept the mirror side of the company that Obama kept for twenty years.

For me it is the color. Not of Obama’s skin color, but the color of his mind...RED. He is a dangerous candidate, a modern day Manchurian Candidate. He has too many ties to the extreme fringe of our society and international (African) politics. He is also married to a racist shrew that hates white people. Her writings at Princeton need to be exposed. The leopard cannot change its spots.

Up Next - Odinga!



1. Obama went to Kenya on the taxpayers' dime.
2.Obama supported him at campaign rallies while there.
3. Odinga was a known communist and relative of Obama.
4. Odinga signed a deal with the Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected (prior to Obama's visit).
5. After losing the election Odinga promoted violence that included the burning of a Christian church and death of over 50 people (including children).

Simple and Clear. Barry supports radicals all over the world!

The Democratic Socialists of America were VERY impressed with Obama’s speech at one of their forums:

From their newsletter:

“When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS [Young Democratic Socialists] Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy.“

Mix this with the contract that Obama signed with the marxist/socialist New Party, the Odinga stuff, Ayers etc...and you get a good idea of what Obama wants to do with our country.

Obama’s INEPTNESS (or maliciousness?) should convince voters to choose McCain.

*OBAMA-STILTSKIN* spins other people’s money into garbage that is harmful to Americans.

He’s used other people’s money

1. to corrupt our voting system. (ACORN)
2. to promote racism (funneled money to Revs. Wright and Pfleger)
3. to hurt Chicago schools. (Annenberg Challenge)
4. to build Chicago housing which is now scheduled for demolition. (funneled money to Rezko and his other cronies)
5. to help derail our economy (Protected Fannie Mae buddies, got contributions)

I know many democrats that will sit this one out in California. I have no doubt he’ll still win here, anyways...but if that sentiment rings true in other states, I’m thinking McCain still might have a good chance.
