I think it's always had that racial undertone, but now that's it's close to closing time, it's becoming more racial than anything. Some of the
things Republicans were saying in regards to Obama were just
worthy.

I think it is racial and also fear. There is alot of fear out there that he is tied to terrorist. It's unfortunate in this day and age this is still such a
big issue. Obama is obviously an educated man, knows what is going on and he has a new energy that you don't see with alot of politicans. If he wasn't
half black I think he would be a shoe in.

If you can't debate issues, play to their basic fear of minorities.

I think it's sad that race is still an issue in this day. I have classmates who have openly stated how shitty McCain is but will still vote for him because
'he's more qualified'. Bullshit and you know it.......I almost said it's because he's white.

You should say it. Call people on their bullshit.
And yes, it's becoming increasingly racial and just goes to show that McCain has no cards to play other than peoples' fear and ignorance. |
