Boy, I’m sure people will be really impressed that the wing nut Republicans don’t like Obama! I’m only surprised that they left their sheets at home, then again, they know if they show their true colors nobody will support their program of bigotry, hate, and greed.

Truedem, now they’re claiming Obama isn’t really black, but “bi-racial.”
The depth they will go to try to win this thing is unknown.
McCain, on the other hand, is “bipolar.”

Senator Mccain needs all the reassurances he can get. This time his party too is on the brink of extinction. No wonder you are compelled to mention a few “young people” in support of the old geezer. Young people are all working to elect their own candidate, Senator Obama for president. But make no mistake, the electorates will vote with vengeance for the GOP failure to address their declining economic and political fortunes.

My 4 year old son had a bigger crowd at his lemonaid stand.
“We can’t afford change?” Funny stuff GOP. $9 trillion and counting.

You lefties are a hoot. The moveon.org wing of your party, forgetting the whipping America handed to McGovern, has succeeded in nominating a man who makes Ted Kennedy look like a moderate. Sure, there are a lot more moochers out there who will support that sort of garbage than there was thirty years ago. But I still look for him to go down in flames.

And truedem, you have a nerve accusing Republicans of being racist. The only people who have racial motives in this campaign are Obama supporters. For some reason, voting for him because he’s black is noble, but voting for McCain for reasons having nothing to do with his race is racist.

In the end, Obama will be crushed. Sure, he’ll win Vermont, Massachusetts, a few more northeastern states, and will probably sweep the west coast. He’ll probably win Minnesota and Wisconsin, and of course, Illinois. But that’s about it. McCain will sweep the south, including Florida. He’ll win Ohio and Indiana, Missouri, Arizona and New Mexico. Only 5% of blacks will vote for McCain, while 25% of whites will vote for Obama - and you’ll still say that whites are racist.

There were actually 23 (mostly) young folks with dour faces carrying various signs, chief among them “Obama—Change we can’t afford,” and the most ludicrous being “Honor.” It is the height of hypocrisy to associate the word “Honor” with John McCain, the man whose first wife waited stateside while he was a prisoner of war, suffered a tragic car accident which left her a semi-invalid, a wife whose “brave” war hero husband then repaid her by engaging in extra-marital relationships, finally landing his trophy drug-stealing wife, Cindy. Yes! “Honor,” indeed!

Worse, though, was the older married couple—she carried a sign approx. 3 x 4 feet which displayed a hideous picture of a dead fetus and the single word “Abortion.” A local politico and I discussed this while gazing down at the street. While I support freedom of expression, this sign was extremely graphic, and probably should not be allowed in public. I personally feel no child under perhaps 8–10 yrs. of age should see it. The husband carried two signs, one stating “Obama says no hope for the unborn.” This is, on its face, a lie, since I doubt that Sen. Obama has ever uttered such a sentiment. It was an interesting diversion as we waited for the Senator to appear.

We haven’t seen the first debate. Unless McCain is wired like Bush 2004, Obama will tear McCain apart (war, economy, healthcare, oil prices, cost of college education, etc.) I’m betting McCain loses his dentures within the first 20 minutes. It might prove helpful if he just keeps his mouth shut.

Nick, there’s no way Americans will place a Republican into office as President in this present day.

The Republicans have become a sad bunch and deservingly so for the position that they have placed this country and its citizens in.

They have fallen far from their throne because of all their distorted thinking, deceptions, hypocrisy, greed and self serving thoughtless behavior, including much blood on their hands crying up from the earth in Iraq.

No one with good sense wants to hear anything that comes from the mouth of a Republican because they have proven themselves to be mindless and unworthy of the duties we entrusted to them in Congress. Never once questioning the actions of their administration, just going on without any check and balances.

For all their dirty deeds, they now find themselves fallen from grace in the eyes of Americans and the world.

They have been awarded a President candidate who is obviously in the early stages of senility, but who should have been the Presidential nominee instead of President George Bush. Now, they have come to that conclusion too late because now eight years later at the age of seventy-one he is not up for the job. Nor, is the atmosphere among the Republicans right for McCain to succeed even if he were of sound mind.

It’s just a travesty what the Republican Party has made of themselves. People have been traumatized by how they have run things in this country these last eight years. Democrats still do not have the necessary numbers in Congress to make any true changes, hopefully that too will change and it appears that it is with the Republicans losing seats in every election that has come about so far.

I am too frighten by Republicans to ever cast a vote for one any time in the near future. And, I will not be casting any vote for those who jump and leave their Party to become a Democrat because they can see that they have tainted their Party.

With respect Mr. Kasoff, I in no way implied that it is racist to vote for Senator McCain for President.

What I was implying is that a very large segment of the Republican party is composed of white racists because they are.

Racism as is very well known by anyone who has been paying attention, has been the ally, friend and first resort of Republicans now for many decades. But unfortunately for the intellectually and morally weak Republican authoritarian personality, the utility of racism in building electoral victories for the party of greed, corruption, and criminality is at long last coming to a close. The door will be slammed on that come November by a nation that is now wise to the Republican shell game of stirring up racial hatred, religious hatred or any other bigotry available in order to gain votes so that Republican officeholders and their wealthy masters can rob the treasury, rape the taxpayer, ruin the government, and weaken the institutions that have kept our nation strong for hundreds of years.

To put it in terms that cannot be misunderstood even by a Republican: the racist Republican Party is (in case you hadn’t noticed) utterly and completely discredited, has no credibility and is headed for the oblivion it so richly deserves.

Complain about that if you will. Grouse all you like. It won’t change the facts or the truth. While it is impossible to argue with the truth and win, I feel certain that if anyone is foolish enough to take a go at that venture it would be a Republican. Good day sir!

Wow, 23 whole people! And how many of them are on the McCain campaign’s payroll? Now that’s a newsworthy event! Of course, an anti-war rally with 300 people attending gets exactly zero coverage from the Post-Dispatch. Also, has the Post-Dispatch ever done a video piece that presents only a liberal group’s side of the story?
