Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Jun 22 10:12:42 2008  Is he gonna pimp out the flag next? Snarked John McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds, "I think we can all agree that we need presidential candidates that are serious enough not to play make-believe on the campaign trail." "It's laughable, ridiculous, preposterous and revealing all at the same time," Bounds said. I'll allow one of the 224 comments to speak for me. This man oozes narcissism. He has absolutely NO experience, can't form a sentence w/o a telepromter. He has pics taken of himself with that ridiculous halo behind him; SF newspaper calls him an "enlightened being", a "Lightworker", and now the presidential seal has been remade for him. He'd be better suited as the leader of a cult. than POTUS. Might be illegal too, although, the man is above all patents and trademarks anyway(trying to steal Joshua Generation!). |

Posted by SelkirkTMO on Sun Jun 22 10:29:06 2008, in response to so stupid looking, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Jun 22 10:12:42 2008. The Washington Post conducted a poll about all kinds of taboo stuff, like race and age. Three out of 10 Americans admit to racial prejudice yet nine out of 10 are at least open to the idea of a black President. However only two third of Americans are entirely comfortable with the idea. Clearly Barack Obama has a problem here.On the other hand, the comfort level with geezers is even worse. Less than a third would be entirely comfortable with a 72-year-old President, something they will get if John McCain is inaugurated on Jan. 20. What the poll didn't do is break down these numbers by political affiliation and geography. If the third of the people who are not comfortable with blacks are rednecks from the South, it doesn't matter because they vote Republican anyway. If they are Reagan Democrats in Ohio, it matters a lot. It is inevitable that both parties, especially the 527s aligned with them, will try to exploit these fears to the hilt. The Democratic 527s have a slight advantage here because overt racism is really taboo. You can't have a TV commercial with some macho guy in a pickup truck saying "I ain't a votin' for no black guy." The backlash would be horrific. On the other hand, imagine a commercial with a friendly, absent-minded old man sitting on a park bench with a grandchild on his lap asking: "Grandpa, could you be President?" and having grandpa reply: "When I was young, I dreamed of being President, but at my age it's impossible. It's the toughest job in the world and I need my naps" It is probably acceptable if done with humor. Exploiting these fears of blacks and old people will call on all the creative powers of the advertising producers, but if these factors are going to be more important than the candidates respective health plans, you can bet they are going to try. The trick is to throw the mud but not have any of it get on you. |

I saw that "related story" headline in the page for this article.It's okey, cuz, he ain't a woman. Now that'd be a problem. As long as the handlers keep "getting more white people" to stand behind Barry Hussein, it'll be okey. Besides, Hussein's black? At any rate, if rumors down here are correct, and McCain makes the smart move for his VP, it's all over, he could be older than the PM of Italy(whose older than McCain right now), he could be 105, won't matter. |

The trouble is that if Obama loses (hate to even use the term "IF") it will be the "racism" of white America that caused it. The fact that people rejected his stated positions or worried about his lack of experience will not even be considered. Sad commentary on our media and our national state of mind. |

They should really..Black Green Brown who cares about ones color, thats how i look it at.. Do the job to the best of your abilities thats all i ask.. Still think Hilllary would be more interesting as President, she was the first lady, but thats just me, as well as most of my family who votes.. |

It was a poll taken to determine the influence of all the doublespeak so far, and was designed to figure out how stupid the populace is for a specific set of things. I'm sure there will be a "Quien es mas Muslim?" poll soon. :) |

Might this person be the governor of a certain large southern state? I still think Romney is a better choice. Romney is from the northeast giving the ticket geographical balance. Romney is also very rich and was an excellent fund-raiser. With that certain governor on the ticket you'll basically have two sunbelters on the same ticket. |

Plus, he could be a first Mormon in our "gee isn't that special" election. |

I'd wait to see what colour they impose on the Brits, they're pretty pale. Sadly, I slept on the post until I got an answer. :)They got burka fashion shows now...only in Europe or American universities. Apparenlty the welcoming europeans are more into it than the people forced to wear it! On a sidenote, all these people who talk about or use pictures of the burka should use what they use in Afghanistan instead of Saudi Arabia all the time. there are no eye slots!
