It is not for nothing that as a rule, conartists are very likable and charming people.

Baseless guilt by association attacks are pretty weak compared to that.

Since when is attacking the people who represent the very people you need to have vote for you, a winning strategy?

Also, OT, but has anybody gotten a picture of the house that 11,172 voters in Columbus, Ohio registered from? This is a clear violation of the Help America Vote Act, and from what I can ascertain
if CITIZENS of Ohio file a complaint against assumed illegal practices, it can be investigated, but NOT if the Voting officials try to. I don’t really know how that would work, but if Ohio is going to be fraudulent, and we know this ahead of time, it seems as though it is worth doing exactly what those students who took it upon themselves to investigate the address did…take a camera and record voting fraudulently in Ohio on Election Day. I will go vote fraudulently on purpose in Ohio and record it on video for the News to see, why not? Might as well MAKE them go through all the votes in Ohio. I think the GOP needs to mount a serious counter attack and beat these guys at their own game. IF Ohio thinks that the GOP are coming in to sabotage the Election, they might be forced to do their job, and check each vote for possible fraud. In the process, those Election officials who wanted to do their jobs correctly, will be allowed once again to do just that.

Until whites can criticize blacks w/o being labeled reflexively as racist, there will not be Racial Equality in America. What we have now is freedom of speech for leftist blacks, while whites are treated as second class citizens.

Well, I think people use techniques that work. Plain and simple. When using the race card doesn’t work anymore, then it will stop being used. People are just going to have to wise up and not be manipulated by it. Of course this will have to be on a large scale, and I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon. My dad was a government employee that had hiring/firing responsibilities. He said that it was so incredibly hard to fire a black person with cause, that some of his counterparts wouldn’t even attempt it. He was not one that would ever allow himself to be manipulated, but he did have to have 10 x more documentation on wrongdoing, eyewitnesses, and would without fail end up in court with the NAACP on his ass. And I’ll just state for the record…my dad is nowhere near a racist, and I was taught by both parents to treat everyone equally.

I was reading an article on the Newsweek website yesterday and it was completely full of posts on how racist McCain and his supporters are. I have been watching this entire election very, VERY closely, and I have not seen one single incident of racism, or so-called “code language” or anything of the sort. The only place race is mentioned is by Obama and his supporters. I’m quite frankly sick of the race card, and I think it is being overused so much now on a national scale, that it will go a long way to reducing its effectiveness.

Having spent most of my life within a hundred or so miles of Mr. Wurzelbacher - I’ve met hundreds of men and women just like him in the rusty auto manufacturing region of Ohio and Michigan. I stand next to them in the grocery store sniffing the cantaloupes, sit next to them at rock concerts, they’re at the next table at Applebee’s on Friday evenings and in line next to me at Best Buy a week before Christmas.

They work hard, never quite getting ahead like their parents’ generation was able to do, but they do their best to pay for the necessities and put a little bit of luxury on the credit cards. It works well until an unexpected event happens - a divorce, a health crisis, a lay off, economic downturn (the new word for recession), etc… and then the bills pile up. They work hard to pay those bills, never asking for a hand out. A few bills get pushed aside each month while they juggle payments. But they keep plodding along working for the day they can once again be in the black at the end of each month. One day, they hear about a business that is up for sale and they daydream about how nice it would be own that business, to have a chance of being in the black at the end of each month and maybe, just maybe have a few extra dollars left to put away for their kids’ college and their retirement. It becomes more than just a daydream and they look into financing the purchase of the business.

Along comes a presidential campaign. One candidate wants to raise taxes and our daydreamer turned serious purchaser begins to worry if he buys the business it’ll be another act of futility on his part - will he still be juggling bills at the end of the month? This candidate shows up on a sunny afternoon in our daydreamer’s neighborhood and he asks the candidate about his tax plan.

It’s 2008, not 1978 anymore and Mr. Wurzelbacher ends up on cable news from Detroit to London to Seattle to Sydney. Within hours Mr. Wurzelbacher knows what it’s like to be Britney Spears with the media camped in his neighborhood, their satellite trucks humming away - reporting on whether he’s five minutes late at watering his roses and where the kid delivering the newspapers has thrown his paper today. When that gets a little boring, they start running credit and background checks on Mr. Wurzelbacher and discover he’s typical of Ohio and Michigan. A man who works hard, who has had the typical financial setbacks of the region but keeps hope alive that the day will come where he’s in the black at the end of the month and he can afford to send his child to Ohio State.

Who would have thought that the people I encounter in the grocery store and Best Buy, sit next to for concerts on the lawn at DTE Energy/Pine Knob and are sharing the same server at Applebees with me are a toxic poison in the United States of America and not the back bone as I’ve always been led to believe.

Obama, America’s Last President.

Have many Americans no understanding of what Democracy is? Why people all over the world are fighting and dying for the right to vote and for free speech and press?

Honestly, we Americans have never had anything different than virtually complete freedom. So, no I don’t think many Americans realize the path we are going down here. I, for one, recognize the Obama policies and the current incarnation of the Democratic Party as being extraordinarily dangerous for our country. It is frankly terrifying that at least half the country is not fighting them tooth and nail.

Someone posted this link on here, I found it and read the whole pdf. This could be the very reason nothing sticks. I have had experience with hypnosis before. It is real, it is a fact. For anyone that knows anything about hypnosis this is a must read. For those (like me) who try to avoid Obama speaking after hearing him a few times, it is also a must.

How many people on here actually listen to Obama give a speech? I have heard parts and now I use my mute button. I used to listen to GWBush, just to yell at the screen, but I don’t listen to Obama… maybe we are trying to protect ourselves.
