Do you honestly think that the only reason Conservatives who are pro-life, pro the 2nd Amendment, against socialized medicine, against big government, and against crooked “community organizations” would vote for McCain is because they are prejudiced against Obama? Are you kidding me? How dare you! It must be that you think all us corn-fed, dumb white people are too busy clinging to guns and religion to have one brain cell engage to do some research about voting records and actions vs. words. That is a racist attitude. It does work both ways you know.
To cry racism just to get votes is pathetic. Grow up and face the fact that a lot of people (of all races) think partial birth abortion is wrong, think they should be allowed to protect their homes and families with a gun if they want to, don’t want Big Brother controlling their lives, and believe “community organizations” that intimidate people and illegally sign up ineligible voters to cheat the polls should be a crime.
The government can’t run the programs that they are in charge of now; do you honestly think they will be able to add US wide medical coverage to it?
Do you know that now, every time someone says that issues don’t matter; only racism matters, it drives more and more people away from Obama? I know at least 20 non-white voters who are sick to death of the race card being played every 10 minutes and are now voting for McCain.
It almost seems like Obama supporters think that white people are too stupid to examine the issues and make up their minds for themselves – you know us dumm folk don’t want to do any uv thet reeding stuff. It’s just to hard for our limited intellect).

How come the one candidate and party who were supposed to be so uniting, are actually totally trying to divide this country along racial?
