Will Whites Vote for Obama?

gunny. I feel sorry for you. its like I don't like opera. that's too bad for me. I didn't know for sure clinton was gonna be great, but he was. so I have every reason to believe obama, gore or kerry would have been better than mcbush. ceo's r what's wrong with america. them n their house slaves like you. us field slaves are sick of you house slaves telling us how good massa is. obama seems sincere. i'm a good judge of character. u voted mcbush? then you r not. you don't know what's really going on. deregulations and political cronnies in every branch of gov causeed housing crash. enron loopholes. speculation. listen. either u r rich or dumb. dumb too harsh but u know what I mean. what's wrong with u? i'm big into politics and u aren't being intellectally honest.
 
one main reason is because he did not vote, or was not culled into voting for, an invasion of iraq. Another main reason is because his politics does not have roots clear back to the 60s. Another is the tone of his political machine this side of a vitriolic neocon "president or bust" campaign.


any other questions?

Was he even in the Senate TO vote? Methinks you're giving him credit where it isn't due.

You feel sorry for me? Right dude.

You aren't a good judge of anything. You can barely type and damned sure can't construct a sentence.

If you are big into politics and THIS is the best you can do, I suggest you find another hobby because you absolutely REEK at this one.

Your statements are run-on, incoherent blather, and proof you really have NO idea what you're railing about. There are blind partisan hacks, then there's you. You make them look intelligent by comparison.

Now, I suggest you take your 3rd-grade-level politics and your personal attacks and slink off into the corner and try reading up on the topics you like to run off at the suck about. I also suggest you take your petty little insults and shove them up your ass, but the wiser course of action would be to find someone besides ME to try them out on.
 
i'm on an atnt internet phone. I type well but I have to do this with my thumbs. i'mtyping like i'm texting. anyways, doesn't matter cause u won't get it anyways. what more about deregulations and ceo' are the prob. do I need to right. I can tell you r getting mad. don't. just see your ignorance and change. improve. many conservatives have left the neo cons. they r diferent. u do know that, right? so what makes you stay? u must be pro life or anti gay. that means you r gay and have gotten a woman pregnant. lol. but seriously, its rich vs us. r u rich? then wake up before november. hopefully this is your wake up call. ps. I won't do you homework so don't tell me I don't know what i'm talking bout just cause you don't. and I have so many facts but a very small keyboard. i'll try to k.I.s.s.

Hey, guess what? They have caps on phones too. Who'd a thunk it?

I'm not getting mad dude. To the contrary, I find you hillarious. You've got to be the most ignorant person I've ever met on a political message board claiming they are all into politics.

Oh, so NOW I'm gay or got a woman pregnant? LMFAO! Idiot. I'm not a neocon, dipstick. Used to be a blind, ignorant liberal at one time though.

I don't need you to do my homework for me. You need to do your own for YOU. Put up or shut up and that keyboard excuse isn't going to excuse you not playing by the same rules everyone else does.
 
This just in ... polls say what the people conducting the polls want them to; therefore, worthless. DOn't know which one you claim to be spouting off here, but I heard one yesterday that wasn't even close to your wishful thinking.

Matter of fact, based on last night's little conversation with you, you don't even know why you're voting for Obama. I figure Obama's got THAT demograph hands down.



Actually I thought Clinton had the uneducated people.....

And it's funny how polls don't matter when it's not in favor of the persons candidate. <--- just a general observation
 
today I told a guy like you why gas is so expensive. hbe said I was wrong and he repeated the oil companies excuses. he ignored my fact. he refuses to admit they are cheating. he'd rather believe the ones that are gouging. all you need to do is study what enron did. that's what the gop has been doing.
 
Obama never had to vote to invade Iraq.....He wasn't even a Senator yet...But if he's against the war why did he vote 3 times for appropriations totalling 300 million dollars??

Guny is right, you are ignorant....the more you write the more it shows...

You will find several of us here that think polls are ignorant, they are easily manipulated to give the result the pollster wants. What is funny is the fact that just about every poll has another poll that says nearly the opposite and people like you just claim the one that disagrees with you is the "wrong" one.

FYI, the myth that Obama wasn't an active participant in Congress or isn't ready to be POTUS is pure bullshit.



Here's the record of the votes he was involved with.

Feel free to compare his readiness to be POTUS with Bush's when he ran for office.

There is absolutely NO COMPARISON. Obama is FAR more prepared to be POTUS than Bush was...that's obvious.

Dang! I should have inked it.

I think I Googled "Obama voting record".

Let's see if I can find it again...

(0.16 seconds later...)

Yeah here it is, Gunny.
 
Thanks, I was just curious.

Don't call me Gunny, I wasn't in the Marine Corps and don't deserve the title.
 
i know plenty of whites in my state will and are going to vote for Obama. Ofcourse my state is solidly democratic. It's been over 20 years since we had a republican governor.
 
Oh, sorry.

Again I fail to pay attention to the author of most posts, and focus my attention on the post itself.

mea culpa.
