Dear Anon (10-28; 4:10 PM)That was one of the greatest posts I’ve read. There are many, many, many people, who unfortunately, ARE voting for b.o. solely because he’s (what, half, maybe?)african-american. That’s never a good reason, you’re right. To refuse to look past his color, and not check out anything else that may be to the country’s detriment, is just as bad, if not worse, than NOT voting for someone because he’s black - it’s STILL RACISM, either way.

On your computers, enter the name of Huntley Brown. On Google, it will come up and read that article that says Huntley Brown..why I am not voting for Obama. This is a black concert pianist who wrote this. Read it and it may really change the way you think and vote. I just heard another speech Obama made dissing Joe the Plumber. What a candidate to do that to a potential supporter. Well guess what. Joe the Plumber is endorsing McCain.

To Carol,
You should have used “where” instead of “were”…. but education in our United States is another story all together.

Since you dealt the race card, let me just say this.

I think we are in a sorry state of affairs when our public will choose to vote for a candidate based on his race. I am speaking of all those American’s who are idealistically voting for Barack Obama simply because he is a “black” man. I too have overcome racism in this country, but will not vote for a man who does not a) have the experience to pull our country out of it’s misery & b) does not have our country’s best interest in mind (yes, he does associate with persons of unscrupulous character- many people/many times over).

Don’t get me wrong, I do not wear rose-color glasses. I know McCain has a few mistakes & misteps behind him…. but fact is, he does not associate with persons who have ties to (or are from) Iran, Iraq, Syria and other terroristic countries.

I will be ready to vote for whomever is truly the best candidate of our options given, that will serve me and all other, Americans. In this election, that means I will be voting for McCain. First time I will vote Republican in the Presidential election.

My recommendation for all would be to do your homework. Research the internet. It is tough to come by for Obama, as he has his records sealed, but there are legitimate background articles out there…. that is unless you are afraid of the truth and want to hide behind your idealism & hope that Obama truly stands for change. I just hope that you are prepared for the actual change you will get if he is indeed elected. I hope you like having terrorist-sympathizers & promoters in your back yard.

Extra should really keep their political views to themselves as those of us not voting for Obama will more than likely be tuning in to Inside Edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People should learn how to spell and form complete sentences before voicing ignorant opinions. Extra likes Obama so we should ignore terrorist ties and hatred against white people. Couple that will lack of experience and overall arrogance and there’s a good candidate.

Vote McCain!

Thanks “yall” Carol…its about fairness and equality. News should state the facts not opinions in order to sway uninformed voters.

Why are Republican’s such haters. Just because McCain might lose, doesnt give yall the right to put Obama or his supporters down. He is not asking to be in the media. The media is after him, because they love him. And the Republican are scared of changed. You can say what you what, this race is base on racial issues. That’s why people are claiming to be attacked by black Obama supporters and they just arrested two guys that threaten to kill Obama when spotted. All these hate posts are adding fuel to the fire. Embrace who is for all (white & black) and not just yall (whites).

Hey Lavern - copied from Kathy’s info below…. I’d say there are ties to terrorists…have you been hiding your head in the sand. Or, are you voting for Obama simply because you want to say you made history… better be careful of what History you actually make….

Found researching on the internet:
Obama met Antoin “Tony” Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which provided Obama with “seed money” for his Senate campaign.

Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born billionaire, loaned Rezko $3.5 million (The London Times) three weeks before Obama’s new mansion was purchased. Obama met Auchi with Rezko numerous times.

Now Obama is running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama’s boss. She became Obama’s chief advisor and he doesn’t make any major decisions without first talking to her.. She was born in Shiraz, Iran. See any pattern?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama was “sacked” after the press found out he was having regular contacts with terrorist group, the “Hamas ”

On 04/25/2008 the Judicial Watch broke the news that ,”The chairman of an Islamic “charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists has dedicated himself to raising money for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

He has made a public announcement that in the event of a catostrophic Islamic terrorist attack against the US,“I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance.”

Mario - I used to like u until i read the article on how you are pretty much rotting for Obama…He isnt worth the time of day … My husband and i live here in colorado, and r only 45 miles away from steamboat springs, and we go up there alot, and there was Obama supporters standing on the cornors, with obama signs, wanting people to vote ,and my husband has a mccain coffee cup, and held it up, and they saw it, and they were not very happy people when he showed the coffee cup… you are only crazy to vote 4 someone that has ties to terriosts, whats next? If obama was to take office, that tells me he would stand there, with a welcome mat , And shake all the terriost hands and grin like a cheesy cat, and let’em walk right into our homes…. So i guess u have to vote for who u thik is right and i will vote for mccain ,a man who knows his stuff…

I am so tired of the liberal media shoving the big O down our throats. Finally a reporter does a decent interview asking the tough instead of fluff questions and poor wimpy Biden couldn’t handle them. Is his head so far stuck in the ground that he can’t see the socialism wreaking from the Obama camp. Years ago Cuba wanted change…..they got it alright and we all know how well that change worked out there. I truly thought Americans were smarter than this, but apparently I am wrong. God help us all.

It is absolutely amazing to me that a liberal show like this doesn’t reports - at all - that most of their forums posts are conservative in nature. Interesting.

Now for those undecided voters (& perhaps some of those wishing for a “change”)…. do some research, do not simply rely on celebrities to sway your decisions. We are at a critical time in the history of our nation and our democracy (not to mention our safety). As other posters note on this site- Barack’s records are sealed. Makes me wonder, how about you? I’m pretty sure this isn’t the change I want…….

Found researching on the internet:
Obama met Antoin “Tony” Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which provided Obama with “seed money” for his Senate campaign.

Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born billionaire, loaned Rezko $3.5 million (The London Times) three weeks before Obama’s new mansion was purchased. Obama met Auchi with Rezko numerous times.

He has made a public announcement that in the event of a catostrophic Islamic terrorist attack against the US,“I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance.”

This goes on & on…. it is staggering and quite alarming as well. Do your homework - our children and their children require it.
