The world has turned upside down!!! (Re: McCain vs. Obama for President)

lol, who knew the comedy this site had to offer!?!

progressive, lol you cant be serious. the ONLY Progressive president was Theodore Roosevelt (a republican BTW).

yeah they did, thanks to the republicans

a fact?

what about your state?

named as the new version of a crappy a$$ 3rd world country,

that BTW in my life time (30 years) have voted Repulican (Red) for president than has not 4/7 times.

In fact, the entire nation is shifting blue. Have you not been paying attention?

Racist much? What does that have anything to do with the facts? Apparently you prefer hyperbole to debate.

Yea, its been in the news for many months now.

You can show me votes all day, but the fact of the matter is that the south used to be a democratic stronghold until the Civil Rights Act signed by LBJ. If it was Republicans that were the champions of Civil Rights then why did the backlash target the Democrats?

Should be a simple question. Lets see if we get debate or more hyperbole.

must be all the foreigners, um i mean immigrants. the new crowd always falls for the entitlement, and the hype.

apparently you prefer to make personal attacks than to debate.
Mexico does suck, bad. there is nothing racial about it, I think Canada sucks too (not as much as mexico), but you wouldn't call me a racist for not liking canada, so cut your character assassinating leftist BS. if you want to debate that is (most on the left just want to use name calling so i wouldn't be suprised if you didn't want to debate). Besides mexican is not even a race, its a nationality. do you even know what racism means? or do you just throw the word around when you have nothing else to say?

the media is all about facts, i forgot.

what i read from this is "you can show me evidence all day long but im still going to think what i want to". are you a creationist? or ID fan, because your approach to the evidence in political matters is very similar to thiers in scietific matters.

Im waiting to see how many more times you call me a racist 1st, you drop the slander for no reason, and i'll drop the hyperbole.

Your right. I shouldn't have called you a racist. I got too fired up and the fact that you pick a racist symbol for your avatar doesn't help. That still doesn't change the fact that you comment was dismissive of my state for no reason. New Mexico has about as much to do with Mexico as Texas does.

Unless you are Native American

For the first time in a very long time Virgina has a democratic governor. They got rid of a blatant racist when they ousted George Allen for Jim Webb. And this election cycle Warner was been consistently leading in the polls, is highly expected to win, even by the GOPs own analysis.

What you are doing is only presenting some of the evidence and totally dismissing the larger picture of the history surrounding the Civil Rights movement. Thats why I take your roll calls showing the voting on civil rights legislation and raise you the fact that since then the south has been staunch republican. And the fact that as a result of the CRA of '64, many democrats jumped ship to your party precisely because they supported segregation.Those are also facts, you just seem to like to hold on to your facts, and completely dismiss mine.

1. Why is that if your party was the champion of Civil Rights did so many of the bigots flock to the rolls of the GOP?

2. If it was Republicans that were the champions of Civil Rights then why did the backlash target the Democrats?

and that is the problem about making it a partisan issue. i bait democrats who want to jump into the democrat vs. republican game. but when you do this i can claim that the republicans (Lincoln) saved the country, and if civil rights comes up i can make the justified claim that republicans passed that act too.

And I can point out that conservatives opposed the War of Independence.

We have just lost the South for a generation.

m sorry but i honestly have no idea what you are asking, can you rephrase it or explain this backlash, its a bit vague to me.

A vote for Obama is a vote for his assassination, IMHO.

And I am sincere in my worries about his impending martyrdom.

It won't matter in the end. Do you think the redneck racists of America will tolerate Obama as POTUS? He is perhaps too much like JFK. And he is prime meat for any sniper who has "KKK" tattooed on his chest. A vote for Obama is a vote for his assassination, IMHO. And I am sincere in my worries about his impending martyrdom.

Methinks Obama may very well still be a Muslim. Islam teaches and practices lying if it's for the advancemnt of Islam. The Koran teaches that Islam must rule the world and Biblical prophecies seem to indicate that the Islamic nations will prevail in the end to the point of invading Jerusalem with success to the point of taking a third of the city before Armageddon ensues to destroy the invading nations noted in Ezekiel 38.Methinks the kingdom Obama is referring to is none other than the Islam global kingdom that Islamic leaders intend on establish as per past and present violent aggression but certainly he's never going to say so. He's certainly not a Christian fundie and the only other religious group that forsees a kingdom of God on earth coming is Islam and fundamentalist Christians like myself. The difference is that the Christian fundies have no intentions of forcefully establishing the kingdom. It is Jesus the christ/messiah who will take care of that at his 2nd advent according to the Bible prophecies both OT and NT. On the otherhand Islam intends to violently conquer the world for their god Allah and the Islamic faith.Imo, this man has been set up by Ben Ladden or the Saudi Wahabis or the Iran Shihites to become president of the US so as to advance Islam in the US and worldwide as well as to end the US support for Israel etc.It will not surprise me if Obama becomes the next president of the US despite his lagging position presently. Perhaps he's got some cards in his hand to trump Hilary, being she has a lot of dirdy baggage in her closet from the shenanigans of the Clinton administration.The Western nations are stupid on Islam, thinking that it's basically peaceful. The only peaceful ones are the ones who haven't been subjugated yet or the ones who have been subjugated but dare not speak up, who want out but will be in jeopardy of loosing their head if they do so.Imo, even if he is a setup for Islam and were to become president, he would never admit to it. He will simply undermine the resolve of the US to protect Israel and to make war on terrorism all the while maintaining his role as a closet Muslim.Perhaps I have it all wrong, but I'm going to be watching him and listening to what he says closely. I forget what it was but something he said recently regarding our policy in the Mideast caught my attention. Imo, only a Muslim intends to establish a kingdom of some god on earth. Christian fundies know one's coming but knowing the prophecies have no intention of doing it themselves by violent force.
