Good read :thumbsup

Coles notes:

Obama is THE MAN :thumbsup

Umm... How about because he is black and the majority of black voters would vote for him for that reason alone, regardless of his stance on the issues?

So the 13% of the US population that is black is what is going to make Obama win? Even though the black population almost always overwhelmingly votes Democratic anyway?

We won't actually know until post election data comes out, but I think that because Osama is black it'll draw out a large % of black (and other minority) voters that don't normally vote at all - and those voters will vote this time simply because he is black.

I'm white and my upper middle class republican mother is white and we are both voting for obama. :)

I agree completely. The Democratic party is comprised mostly of people who are too fucking lazy to get up off their asses and work for a living - that's why they are Dems in the first place.

However when they are given a chance to "represent," they jump at the chance merely because the only meaning in their lives is giving each other undeserved credit for accomplishments that you and I do as part of everyday life, showing off the things they have and that they have not worked for, and taking all they can from those of us who work our asses off to make it all possible.

I've probably offended a large portion of GFY's readers with my opinion, but it is simply the truth. Historical data shows that Democrats are lazy, and that they don't give a rat's fuzzy little ass about their country beyond what their country can do for them.

Okay, I'm done. Let the flaming begin...

For being so lazy, it is amazing how the blue states are the wealthiest and most educated. You would think that it's the other way around, but red states are the ones mooching off those blue states.

Daddy? Is that you?

No shit. It shows that he has the simple thinking mind that he blames the democrat for having. I have met thousands of democrats in the military alone that were hard chargers let alone the biz owners I have met that make alot of money from hard work.

We should have let them Secede IMO.
They would have lost all their labor and these gene pools would have died off.

Yeah tell that to Warren Buffet, Larry Flynt.

so if they vote for mccain its ok NOT!! OBAMA '08:2 cents:

the rich exploit the poor, ever wonder why the most prestigious universities are in the shitties urban ghettos

cheap land

the poor will greatly give up their freedom under blind submission, perfect for the democratic party, perfect for the rich and powerful.

dem politicians dont give a shit about you, you are a tool for them to have total control over american life

Tell me about these prestigious universities in shitty urban ghettos.

Harvard - Rich part of Boston
Northwestern - Rich suburb of Chicago
Stanford - Rich city in California
Yale - Nice city in Connecticut
MIT - Wealthy town in Massachusetts

Give me some examples of this please. I can't think of a single one.

That was a good article, read it this morning.

If you like this sort of inside baseball stuff with politics, here's a great NY Times Magazine piece on the McCain campaign. (very long article)
