    This election will be decided on race alone. If Obama had been born Berry O'brian, a white guy, he wouldn't even be in the senate, let alone running for president. He stutters and stammers all the time. He can't get even a basic security clearance due to his current past associates.

    I love how anyone who is religous and sticks to their beliefs are zealots. Of course anyone who doesn't believe and vote like you is delusional. You bitch about people being zealots and then act like a narrow minded partisan that whines about being a victim. That's what your party is all about, a bunch of victims. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are going to stick it to all achievers, including the ones that make less than 250k. Obama has never talked about tax cuts let alone voted for one but now when it is expedient he talks like he is the second coming of Ronaldus Magnus. If tax cuts work when a economy is struggling how come they wouldn't always. The problem is the Dems need someway to get people to vote for them. You have had 40 years and trillions of dollars and yet we still have the poor, YOUR IDEALS HAVE FAILED. How about helping people to help themselves (Teach a man to Fish....). Obama talks about having the economy improve from the bottom up, what a joke. If it really worked that way Mexico would be a super power and USA would be full of starving people sneaking across the border to live down south. I can't believe he is so naive. If you would have picked Hilary she would be mopping up McCain with all the help you guys get with the media. Socialism doesn't work, why do you people insist on proving it. It is our kids that will suffer. Come on be honest with yourselves.

    The next election will be determined by election fraud. It's already happening.

    Whoever "the controlers" think will best serve their purpose will "win."

    Unfortunately delusional thinking seems to be predominating the issues and it seems as if many Americans are willing to suspend disbelief so that they can vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Think about this - if Obama had nominated Hillary for VP, the Republicans would have excoriated her while glorifying Palin, to the disbelief of many. If Obama was a democrat with McCain's record running after a democratic "Bush" administration and had given the speech McCain gave about change at the Republican convention, his campaign would have been over. Obama has been crucified for his association to Pastor Wright, but is he on tape saying half the religious propaganda that Palin has? No, imagine if he had where his campaign would be today. These are two of the many dissonances that mark the current election. Why the inequity and disparity in treatment? I don't care what people say about each other, as long is it is logically and ethically consistent.

    What do Americans really want is my only remaining question? McCain is Bush, like it or not. His administration will continue to impact Americans as the Bush administration did. If Americans like how there lives have shaped up over the past 8 years, then I encourage them to vote for McCain and Palin.

    I won't even broach the subject of intolerance evinced by these two candidates. As Americans we champion the ideal of a melting pot- I don't think a religious zealot and a conservative, flip-flopping maverick have any idea what that concept means, let alone value it.

    Frankly I think the only thing that would cause me to vote for them is if I were delusional.

    Unfortunately, it is only delusional thinking at this point that will elect McCain and Palin; and it is only delusional thinking that seems to be pervading the election dialog today.

    What a disgrace!

    I voted "other" because FEAR is what decides political issues today.

    This is STILL America, the change most pundits are taking for granted has not yet occured. Race will prove to be the issue of most impact. We refuse to talk about it but silence does not mean it no longer matters. Unfortunately it means the republicans will remain in power . Sad, but I see and hear the evidence here in the "New South" every day. This is still the cracker south and Nascar America prevails. People will not see the source of all of our problems. Big money, big religion , and big hate wins out again! We will suffer through four more years. And we will deserve it .
    Now see if you can find a reason to hate the messenger instead of thinking about our political naivete and acting.
