Well let's not forget McCain's call words, "honor" and and "service", not to mention the fact that he's been throwing around "change" quite a bit lately as he tries to separate himself from Bush.
"One wants to be President, and one wants to be vice president. You really don't see a difference???" Obama does lack experience, but not near so thoroughly as Palin. He does have some good experience. More important he has the intellectual acuity and integrity to look at the evidence and evaluate it.
"Obama's pastor damns our country and speaks hateful words towards white people..." No reason to believe Obama thinks this way. OTC, his own mother is white. He is half-white. Jesse Jackson even accused Obama as acting white. Obama's main problem is that whites and blacks about equally despise intelligent people whom they feel are arrogant elitists. If he really wanted to be president he'd be all like "No taxes on nuculear weapons so 9/11 and remember the terrorists!"
Not to give Rev Wright any kudios or any thing but the man is old enough to have lived through quite a bit of predjuice, I am sure he has lived with segrgation. The fact that Black men were not allowed to play professional Baseball or attend white colleges. As yes there is some merit to his words. We as a nation did poision a large
handful of black men. Under the disguise of medicine. They were called the Tuskegee Sypillis experiments.
For (what was it? 9 months?) Obama wouldn't even sit for an interview on Fox News!! But you think he can sit across from someone like Putin or Ahmadinejad?
His father died of a heart attack at age 70. His grandfather died of a heart attack in his 60's. Using nothing more than your own logic we should expect him to drop dead any second now, of course perhaps his mother was parthenogenic.
You have to vote McCain/Palin being willing to have Palin as president. If McCain's dad died in his 70's and his grandfather in his 60's, he has a higher genetic likelihood of taking after them than his mother.
What bothers me about the Palin pick is the hypocrisy in it. First the McCain camp screams for months that Obama has no experience. If lack of experience is a big selling point for them (which obviously it turned out not to be, making them into hypocrites), then why would they pick Palin? There are plenty more experienced Republican women.
If Family Values are one of their huge selling platforms, you'd think they wouldn't pick a candidate with an unwed pregnant teenage daughter. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Heck, I coulda been pregnant at 17. But I'm not using my great virtue of promoting abstinence to get elected to national office, either.
Palin just exposes hypocrisy on the right, to the entire world.....I mean - if Obama had a pregnant teenage unwed daughter, or Chelsea Clinton announced a pregnancy right now (if Palin weren't in the picture), can you just imagine what the conservatives would be saying? They'd probably blame Bill Clinton!

Have any of you actually done any research concerning the history of Blacks in the USA?
Have you ever researched the history of the KKK? Learned about segregation and the Civil rights movements at all?

I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
The McCain camp had better HOPE the word "change" hasn't been exhausted, since their own slogan is now "Change is Coming."
All of you sick of the word "Change! Change! Change!" had better get some dramamine, because more "change" is coming, whether yer exhausted or not.
