Why are white men expected to vote against change?

Let me now defend white males. We can't possibly be as dumb as the polls showing we are McCain's most reliable voting base would indicate. Do we white men believe for an instant that a vote for John McCain would not represent more of President Bush's failed economic policies at home and costly military adventures abroad, and if so, why are a majority of us expected to vote against the positive change that Barack Obama so clearly represents?

Most of us know how to read, and can even Google, so why would we think that GOP candidate McCain, who has supported Bush on every one of his economic initiatives, is now the anti-Bush? What exactly did McCain mean when he said, referring to his Democratic opponent during a campaign speech in Ohio on Monday, "We both disagree with President Bush on economic policy?"

Is McCain unaware that he consistently voted for the red ink run up by the Bush administration, or was he having a senior moment when he said that same day, "We cannot spend the next four years as we spent much of the last eight: Spending ourselves into a ditch, and hoping that the consequences don't come?"

The only time McCain took issue with Bush's economic policy was in his short-lived criticism of the tax cut for the rich - a strategy he now defends. But if McCain doesn't increase taxes for someone, just how does he plan to pay for the trillions in debt racked up by the war in Iraq, which are now vastly compounded by the banking bailout? On Monday McCain gave his answer: "I will freeze government spending on all but the most important programs, like defense, veterans' care, Social Security and health care, until we scrub every single government program...

I want change in DC, but I am not so ignorant to go jump on the bandwagon of a socialist. As for the economy, I trust it in the hands of a non-Socialist. I looked at Obozo’s voting record. As a white male Conservative, he never voted once for issues that I am interested in. And I looked at his friends and preacher. What I got from the Reverend Wright was that I was his problem. And I wouldn't be caught hangin’ out with Ayers, Khaladi, or Odinga. I also looked into who inspires Obozo. I have found that he says he was inspired by the likes of Saul Alinsky. All that was enough for me to say I am not interested in this guy. It has nothing to do with anything but his record and character. McCain will do better, if he keeps the Guvments grubby hands off the economy. Obozo and a demoratic Congress will do everything they can to run the economy aground.

“why are a majority of us expected to vote against the positive change that Barack Obama so clearly represents?”

Changing to Marxism is a betrayal of everything this nation was founded upon. The role of government would be everywhere in your life. And if you think that “bedroom” police seemed scary, just ask Joe the Plumber how he’s had his life investigated by partisan members of the State ever since he was approached by Obama and publicly brought him shame.

Why are white men expected to vote against change?

Answer: To the American left, white men are the Jews. White men hold the same position in the leftist worldview that the Jews had for the national socialists of yesteryear, or the capitalist running dogs of the Chinese socialists. White men are the target which can be used to form a coalition of everyone else. Like the Jews of Nazi make-believe, white men control the economy, oppress the masses, meet in a secret cabal called the “white male patriarchy,” and command the government based on racial affiliation.

Yep, the left is deranged. And evil.

Notice how these pundits NEVER give us any idea of what this so-called “positive change” actually entails?

They mouth the party line, over and over.

As someone here said, “Cuba got ‘CHANGE’ in 1959.”

you forgot the BART ALERT on the title of this post. We can forgive you this one indiscretion.

But that socialist buttplug doesn’t get forgiveness because he won’t ask for it.

Because they don’t need a nanny state to take care of themselves, their work,their family and their country.

” I can honestly admit that if McCain is going to get these guys to vote for him, he ought to get a whole lot more traditional Dems to vote for him.”

Just curious, are you in a swing state?
