That and the fact White America has allowed itself to be blinded by affirmative action to the point we do not even question the qualifications of a sudo-Black candidate for the highest office in the land.
Obama not only made history for being elected to be the first Black president, he also made history for being the first President elected under the Affirmative Action mandate.
Have a childhood friend whom I have stopped talking to after she informed me that she was a democrat and would vote democrat.
I figured that it would be best if I stopped talking to her, that way I would not have to tell her I think she is a moron.
I had a friend call me on the telephone the other day and after he sensed I wasn't my usual cheerful self, he asked me what was wrong. I told him I fear for my country and I told him why. He said ah, Obama isn't that bad and he tried to defend his vote for Obama. I told him to call me when he gets buyers remorse and not before!
Frankly, I am sick of Republicans losing elections every time they win on the big isues. After Reagan succeeded in ‘tear[ing] down this wall,” Americans felt safe enough to elect an adolescent to POTUS. Clinton would NEVER have been elected if the Iron Curtain and Cold War were still going.
Then, when Bush’s (McCain’s) surge succeeded in Iraq, that war was off the list of the public’s priorities and the very guy who ran against the war and the surge was elected. Go figure.
BDS played a bigger factor in this mess than anyone is giving it credit for. I heard from many Obama supporters that they just saw McCain as another W term and wanted something different.
The female need to have some assurance that they will be “taken care of†is another huge factor in this mess. I saw that something like 70% of single females that voted voted for the O. Country started down this path the moment women got the vote
republicans have to solve problems. If mccain doesn’t know how to solve the economic problems then what’s the point of sticking him in the WH to do nothing for 4 years?
Republicans have to pick people who truly understand the economy; not old war heroes.
they caught mccain on video saying he voted with Bush 90% of the time and used that in ads across the country. cheney’s endorsement also didn’t help. I don’t know how McCain could get around that.
McCain made many mistakes but I think the fix was in for any republican because they’d be tied even closer to Bush than mccain.
“Republicans have to pick people who truly understand the economy; not old war heroes.” OR community organizers?
I honestly don’t think Obama knows shiite from shinola about economics, but will give him credit for surrounding himself with a group of prominent financial and economic advisors .. now let’s see what they do.
he doesn’t have to. All he has to do is redistribute the wealth and his supporters will be happy. If that’s not enough, he can blame the greedy capitalists.
that’s what I am saying: republicans must solve problems while democrats merely take advantage of them.
Someone has to make wealth for them to distribute! At what point do the wealth-makers object? If I run my own business, I’ll make damned sure I don’t earn enough in a year to trigger the higher tax rate. SO, if I have to cut back production and lay someone off in October or November, so be it.
I agree 100%.
But IMHO we need to poll FR readers and focus our efforts on select issues rather than everyone just write their elected officials about what bugs them.
We need to make our numbers count through solidarity.
but you see, they don’t really want wealth.
They just want everyone to be the same. It *bothers* them if someone makes a lot more than everyone else even if they benefit from a richer society. So they vote for democrats so that they won’t be jealous of those who are successful.

Look in your workplace parking lot, anyone with an Obama sticker is the one to lay off, they wanted the change, give it to them.
btw if everyone just lays off people then the next part of the plan comes in: govt jobs, nationalized industries and community service
dont be silly. i know plenty of women who hate obama. obviously you believed the MSM lie on that topic. maybe we should go back to forced slavery of both blacks and women for you. :-)
First question: "How many states are in the USA." That one alone would knock out Obombus and 50% of those who voted this year.
Just wait until the melamine takes Affect.
I thought at one time that McCain as a moderate was the only R that could win. I now think that was mistake, McCain would have been destroyed without the out of character Palin VP pick showing all of us that a Conservative on the ticket made all the difference...if we had a principled and well spoken C on the ticket, we very well could have stopped the BHO win. McCain was absolutely unable to carry any message. McCain got pwnd...he was the problem.
Considering everything involved we didn’t have an election, we had a coup. That’s correct our country has been overthrown.
Man the barricades!
