Im a nice guy with a live and let live sense of things. :-\
I told my cousin in South Dakota that I was going to vote for Obama and all I got was YOU LIKE OBAMA?? then she logged off. Afterwards I found one of Willco's friends and ate a delicious Sundae in front of them.
My family believes he's a "radical muslim terrorist who will destroy America from the inside".
I hate these people

better a jungle bunny than a ghostface
in a stunningly rare display of political consistency, my dad, who was turned off of kerry by the swift boat efforts, was ALSO turned even further off of mccain by that rolling stone article about mccain's military service. ultimately, though, he thinks mccain is a "wall street socialist" and that obama is merely "toothless," so he grudingly admits he'll vote obama. this is actually pleasantly surprising, since my dad drops the n-bomb in conversation at LEAST every fifteen minutes. :o
mccain is so awful that even some dyed-in-the-wool RACISTS will pick a black man over him! :o :o :o

You have to wonder how McCain as a man of his generation is really dealing with losing out to a relatively young black dude.
Its the fucking CHANGE we need, that is why.mccain is so awful that even some dyed-in-the-wool RACISTS will pick a black man over him! :o :o :o

My thinking on the matter is that as Obama stays ahead in the polls and it gets closer to the election, you will see more and more shit like the "kill him", "treason", and "terrorist" moments happening at McCain-Palin rallies. The people most likely to go to a Republican rally are increasingly more likely to be dumb and racist, and when they hear McCain or Palin say something negative about Obama (which is the only card they have left to play) it will be seen as tacit approval to start yelling about killing him. I predict we'll hear a couple of shouts of n***** at rallies as it gets closer to the election. And I also think that's just going to turn independents and non racists off of McCain even more.
McCain's questioner in Wisconsin today put it clearly.
"We're all wondering why Obama is where he's at. How he got here. Everybody in this room is stunned we're in this position," he said.

An Obama supporter, who canvassed for the candidate in the working-class, white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, sends over an account that, in various forms, I've heard a lot in recent weeks.
"What's crazy is this," he writes. "I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are fucking undecided. They would call him a distinguished black fellow and mention how they don't know what to do because of the economy."
I live on Long Island.
My condolences.
You've already expressed them to me. :-\
I was attempting to state how my family is that way even though they live in BLUE AREA.

The way the primaries are set up...Jindal doesn't have a chance. They may love his Christian values but they love Huck's too, same with Palin. Jindal could run the greatest campaign ever and still lose to them in Iowa, South Carolina, Nevada, and the other early states. No chanceEven as a VP, his nomination would a distraction rather than an advantage.

I've heard some asians aren't really liking Obama for some reason

this uh doesn't exactly make me feel great about prospects for 2010 when the economy still sucks.
On my Dad's side of the family, when talking about politics, they all got pretty pissed. When I asked about voting for Obama, my uncle's face turned red and said "I'm not voting for no fucking distinguished black fellow" and stormed off. Most of them are pissed that the Republicans are sucking ass but can't vote for a black man. So they plan on staying home. A few of them. Some are still going to vote for McCain but he's losing badly in Iowa, so it doesn't matter.
My mom's side are all Democrats but are Hillary supporters. They're voting for Obama reluctantly.
My Dad won't be voting and my mom will be voting Obama. However, both of them think Palin is very smart so that's still kind of a loss nonetheless.
My sister wants to vote for McCain because Palin is a woman. She went to the Democrat caucuses to vote for Hillary. Yeah, she's one of those people.
in a stunningly rare display of political consistency, my dad, who was turned off of kerry by the swift boat efforts, was ALSO turned even further off of mccain by that rolling stone article about mccain's military service.Is that Rolling Stone article legit, or just part of some run n' gun smear campaign?
the Bradley Effect doesn't exist

The amount of racism I"ve seen lately is appalling. In 2008, the year of the PS3, people still buy more white consoles than black. :'(
me and my Alaskan family of liberals (we are very, very rare) are voting Obama. But I personally only know very few people who ain't voting for Palin/McCain.
We were a red state before, we will remain a red state. And the Palin nomination got all the conservatives here (pretty much everybody) EXTRA excited about the election. And yes, I've heard the muslim thing all before.
Do you think that Palin's candidacy can save Ted Stevens and Don Young? Or will Begich and Berkowitz pull out their races? It would be great to get rid of Senator Tubes.
If the residents of any state could avoid feeling the pinch of our current collapse, I'd figure it would be Alaskans. After all, their economy rests on the twin pillars of oil extraction and largess from the federal government.
Ooooooooh yeah. Those 401(k) statements aren't going to look pretty.
Ooooooooh yeah. Those 401(k) statements aren't going to look pretty.
They are REALLY bad. It's part of the reason why McCain's support in PA and FL have completely collapsed-people, even if they don't know how much they have lost in their 401(k)s and IRAs, know that they have lost a ton. If they knew just how much (likely 30% or more for most workers under 50, even with decent asset allocations).
I got lucky and freaked into mostly cash months ago, and only have had a overall retirement haircut of around 7%.
Well, the worst parts were him crashing planes, giving up military intelligence, and causing a blackout over spain so there's no way they could have made up those things without being sued for libel or something. The parts about McCain's attitude/temper were based on interviews with his friends or with reporters so I'm betting that the whole article was completely accurate. It was obviously written only to attack McCain but there is no way that you can claim that much without solid evidence.in a stunningly rare display of political consistency, my dad, who was turned off of kerry by the swift boat efforts, was ALSO turned even further off of mccain by that rolling stone article about mccain's military service.Is that Rolling Stone article legit, or just part of some run n' gun smear campaign?

Y'all make me glad that my extended family is made up of progressive Catholics and Jews.
It does kind of starve me for "here's what the regular folks think" anecdotes, though.
Why do people expect Palin to run in 2012? I feel like she'll just recede back into Alaska and stay where she'll be jailed for abuse of power.
blech, snl giving palin the hate and fear monger air time on the 25th
If you made those Crushed, you are more awesome. :bow

The skyrocketing cost of oil has offset the more endemic economical worries that the rest of the nation is feeling.
it's funny because my family doesn't cause they think he's a liberal slave to the pockets of Israel...wait
<= arabic/muslim
poor obama aint getting love from no one. :(
seriously i never talked to any radical that thought he's good, they hate his guts *funny yet sad*
