Personally any one of the candidates have a high chance of assassination if elected. I mean they are ALL controversial.

-Educated Black Man
-Female Snake
-Or A Bush Clone

Any one of them elected and its going to piss someone off. It is not very politically correct how I put that but non-the-less very true. Why that should be one of the points in your argument is beyond me.

America is a country filled with hate or at least that is Bush’s legacy that he will be leaving behind.

Obama is the only chance your country has at making up with the rest of the world. He is the one that could stand to actually rebuild bridges that your past president has burned time and time again. Elect another war mongering president and I have no doubt in my mind that its just going to make your dollar drop more and more because of bad relations.

The world is for Aboma. It would be a breath of fresh air if the US could play nice with the other kiddies for a change.

It is my sincere hope not only for your country but for every other country that has to shake hands with you that Abama is elected and a better tomorrow can be built.

But “Stupid Americans” never seethe to surprise me….take for example Bush getting elected not just once but twice…. So McCain will win because so many of you are retards. Maybe after he reaps havoc even farther then Bush ever could your country will wake up…

I’m just say-in…..

I’m just say-in…..

Oh and just for the sake of argument, the only “CHANGE” Obama speaks of is the change of a white president to a black president. He’s not speaking of the world, because ANYONE who steps in to that role will end up CHANGING the US/World.

Obama will not win. Here are the reasons as I see it, from what I have heard, witnessed and experienced.

1) Assumes that black people only vote for black people.

2) Assumes all white people consider race the primary factor for voting for a candidate.

3) The republican conservatives hate McCain. Did you listen to Rush Limbaugh and others criticizing McCain during the primaries. They are not as united as you believe them to be. If Romney had won the primaries, they would have been.

4) Applies only to those voters who consider abortion the number 1 issue. b) he has NO Muslim roots, regardless of those who wish to keep that myth alive by posting it in places like this. c) Do you believe that everything a preacher does in a church you once attended means that you are also responsible for doing those things? So if your preacher commits adultery, then you believe in adultery?

5) What are the exact qualifications for president? Everyone keeps talking about this, but no one seems to have any specific criteria they can add. Having been in the senate for years and years while all of these problems have existed and gotten worse and not having been able to fix them in all those years you were there doesn’t exactly qualify you for president either. It just shows that when you had the chance to solve problems, you didn’t.

6) Most people do not want change? They want gas prices to go higher? They want more wars? They want more torture? They don’t want healthcare? They want the economy to keep getting worse? I doubt it. People do want change when it is change that improves their lives.

7) Yes, ridiculous and not worth a comment on the assassination thing. The overwhelmingly majority of those who have wealth make up a tiny percentage of people in the US, so he does not need their votes.

9) On appearance Obama wins over McCain hands down. If you choose to vote against a candidate because of his name, you should turn in your right to vote. If you think patriotism is determined by whether or not you wear a flag on your lapel, then you should really turn in your right to vote.

And by the way, McCain was not born on US soil and Obama was.

10) Yes. We should always elect illiterates as president. Give me a break.

11) You say he will not get these votes. What did you base that on? Your reasons you put into this blog?

You assume all blue collar workers are too dumb to use the Internet? Who are those millions of people online? All harvard grads?

Those who cannot afford the Internet because they are scraping by know it’s the republicans who made it that way.

And McCain’s ads say nothing about what McCain is for. They are all about Obama.

12) Obama is not against owning guns at all. So another false troll item you added to your list.

13) Bush had no military experience. Clinton had no military experience. So according to the 2 most recent elections you are wrong.

So, congratulations on being a troll.

Looking forward to hearing Obama speak this evening.

Eliza

Now, on to the comments, by the way I don’t agree with the-mine that is. I was trying to write from the perspective of a conservative Repub and also from some of the comments I have heard.

As far as knowing black people–know several as I work in healthcare. I have heard all kinds of comments to liking Obama, to not being very interested in voting “because they’re all crooks and it’s fixed anyway.” Not MY sentiment, but that’s what I have heard.

Yep, been watching the DNC and saw Obama’s uncle. Had to remind my husband that Obama’s mother is white. Maybe it’s because I’m hear in TX and have heard too many EDUCATED white men say they won’t vote for Obama. Plus, I think after watching the film Borat I didn’t realize the number of racial people in our country. Call me naive.

Back to the Hillary supporters . . . well, I didn’t see that Hillary actually said anything good about Obama, merely that we have to vote for him. I am irritated at her supporters, especially that one guy walking around trying to get people to sign to get her on the ballot. I also work w/a Hillary delegate who says, “Come hell or high water, I’m not voting for Obama. Hillary was it.” Now he’s voting for McCain.

Obama is the Christian if you had to say which one is. A Christian is a person who follows Christ. McCain is closer to Constantinite–which is what most Christians now should be called anyway. I appreciate the depth of exploration that Obama has done. My two conservative right wing friends do not and say he’s all phoney, scary and they won’t even begin to explore the candidate with me. They say they are fixed with their beliefs related down to the abortion issue.

I think personally Obama has enough pertinent experience. Yes, I agree about the other presidents who were young and/or inexperienced. I try to remind people that really ONE person doesn’t run the country solo–he has his advisors that are carefully chosen, just as Biden has been selected.

People keep talking about change when you see ads and Obama’s speeches. The majority of my friends all want change, but I have come to realize I may not be in the majority. There is a psychological impetus to maintain the status quo . . . it’s like that abused woman who stays in the relationship because at least she knows what she can expect, even if it’s bad. I, for one, want out of this George W. Bush regime.

Yeah, the assasination theory . . . weirded me out when I first heard it and then again from a completely different person. Anyway, could definitely be a cheap mask of silent racism. Even if that were to happen, sounds like a really dumb reason not to vote for someone you found qualified.

I like Obama’s tax plan. I just dislike how twisted some Repub sites make his plan like he will tax the middle class.

When I first heard Obama’s name it made me curious. I looked into him and read as much as I could about him. I could care less about flag pins that were probably made in China being on lapel pins anyway. I think all of that talk is nonsense, but the conservative repubs and “people with lots of national pride” eat it up with a spoon. It’s so dumb. As far as education, beyond a BS/BA or master’s I’m all for it. My dad had 3 master’s and he’s one of the smartest men I know. I don’t know why some people knock people’s higher education . . . I can only think jealousy and insecurity.

I am afraid though that Obama supporters may be overconfident, especially since many of them do get their info from the internet.

The gun stuff, well that is from some conservative sites I’ve read that say that Obama will take away their guns. Remember, I live in Texas and everybody loves their guns!

As far as the military, I have served and there is a mindset I saw while I was in. There was a mindset of saving the country and yes, many people who have joined the military have improved their life by joining. And I don’t think that being a prisoner of war automatically makes one a war hero. I was sitting around the other night and thought why, why, why are we (the US) the only ones fighting this war? Why aren’t there other countries helping us with this war on terrorism? Yeah, I know, late questioning.

Anyway, I’ll be at the polls voting for Obama who I really hope will win. I have never been so excited for a candidate in my life.

Peace out,
Elizabeth

1. Apparently you don’t know many black people.
2. Did you even pay attention during the primaries? in states like Iowa?
3. Have you been watching the DNC con at all?
4. You might have a point here, but it is equally safe to call McCain out in the same regard seeing how he has had a shady past with Christians as well.
5. Bill Clinton and a host of other politicians have been consider lacking experience in the past and went on to win with over whelming victories.
6. i am not really sure what your point is here. I think that most Americans want change. This is seen in over whelming amount of polling data pointing towards a complete democratically controlled congress.
7. This is an interesting theory, one that I have never heard of. But more importantly, I think its a cheap mask of silent racism.
8. I love this one. Did you know that Obama’s tax plan is basically word for word the same as Bill Clinton’s? So much so because allot of the same people wrote it. Have a problem with Clinton’s tax plan? That makes sence, no body likes the larges period of economic growth, having a record budget surplus. I mean if you are against budget surpluses and economic growth then you probably should vote for Bush…oops I mean…McCain, Sorry.
9. Once again a cheap mask for silent racism.
10. Oh yeah, lets forget the vast majority of politicians and former presidents that have PhD’s and have been to law school. And, heaven forbid that we have a president that looks smart! Seriously, we are better off with one that can’t even speak correctly.
11. Honestly, I am not sure of the obama supporters demographics online. However, seeing how this is a marketing blog and we like talking about things like demographics, i would love for you to show us any data that supports this theory.
12. give me more to work with here…I am not even sure how to respond…Whats your point exactly?
13. Oh yeah, this is a great point. this is the same reason that Bill Clinton didn’t win the election in 92, oh wait, what? Oh that’s right Bill Clinton did win in 92 despite not being in the military. And yes, McCain is a proud veteran that served his country, to bad he forgot that when he voted against the GI bill, and numerous legislation to extend medical coverage to wounded soldiers.

But ya know the thing I love most about your comment, is that you didn’t include your full name. I love it when folks on the net hide behind anonymous postings and ambiguous comments when they make outlandish claims like this one.

Joe Hall’s last blog post..Bloggers deserve real tips not stolen goods!

Allen Taylor’s last blog post..Barack Obama Didn’t Make History So Much As Confirm It

1) Obama is not black enough for black voters. Also, many African Americans don’t vote, so he’ll miss this vote even if they prefer him over McCain.

2) Obama is not white, or white enough for most white voters. Most (not all) white men will feel uncomfortable voting for someone who is not of their race.

3) H. Clinton supports will most likely do one of two things: a) vote for McCain, or b) not vote at all. There goes those people. The democratic party has severe problems uniting–they tend to bicker back and forth. On the other hand, the republican party, for the most part, is united and decisive.

4) The vast majority of right wing Christians and evangelicals will not vote for Obama, most likely based on three items: a) he continues to support and uphold the Roe vs. Wade decision, and doesn’t believe that abortion should be banned completely, b) he has Muslim roots, whether he has ever researched or practiced any Islamism or not, and c) he was a bonefied member under a radical black preacher.

5) Obama is considered inexperienced without a doubt. And although a country is run by several individuals, cabinet members, advisors, etc., these influences and factors will not be considered when determining whether he is suitable to run a country by the people who are ACTUALLY voting.

6) Most people do not like change, even if it may be for the better. When things are the same people feel they can predict outcomes and know what to expect. What’s another four or eight years of rolling with the status quo? Most people will not want change because there is no guarantee that things will be better.

7) Now, this is a strange reason not to vote for Obama, but I’ve heard it from more than one person. There is a fear that Obama will be assassinated and that will cause great upheaval for the country, worse than anything of which Bush could have ever been accused.

The overwhelmingly majority of those who have great wealth will definitely not vote for Obama because he has plans to tax them heavily. These people with wealth can often be very influential and will encourage those connected with them not to vote for him.

9) The U.S. is generally a country that is very concerned about appearances and materialism. Obama has an uncommon name that doesn’t sit well with most people. Obama doesn’t look like the average American to many Americans. A person who doesn’t consistenly wear a flag on their lapel and is in a government position cannot truly represent nationalistic pride according to thousands of Americans. Also, there is question and doubt if Obama was even born on American soil.

10) People will not vote for Obama because to the vast majority of Americans there is little worth in education beyond high school and/or at most a bachelors degree. Obama is over-educated for most individuals to really appreciate. Just mentioning his Harvard education leaves many people with the impression that he is a condescending snob.

11) The votes that Obama may be hoping to get through minority groups won’t come through. Most ‘blue collar’ workers could care less about the internet. Many poor people have no access to the internet (except through public libraries) and have little interest in looking up anything in regard to the presidential election as they try to scrape by to survive. Obama supporters are connected through the Internet giving a false impression that there is such strength out there. Many of these Internetters may complain and write excellent articles, but when it comes time to push the button, oops, they are recovering from their hangover or “whatever dude”. What Americans see are ads from McCain that appeal to emotions, and emotions cut quicker than any rational appeal to the head for many individuals.

12) And how about all the gun owners out there? Most will certainly not a cast a vote for Obama. This country is guns galore, are you kidding me?

13) And the last reason that thousands, millions of people will not vote for Obama is that he has no personal military experience. The majority of the men and women love their careers in the military and will feel threatened if their jobs may be cut. Thousands of military soldiers are proud to serve in the armed forces and want to sacrifice their life or health if need be to save the country for which they have great pride. Obama can’t represent these people.

So, congratulations to McCain on the presidency.
