CULTURE

“There is another factor at work in this year’s election that makes polls and predictions more unreliable than usual. That factor is race. Barack Obama’s string of victories in early Democratic primaries against far better known white candidates shows that large segments of the American population have moved beyond race. It is Barack Obama and his supporters who have hyped race, after his large lead in the polls began to shrink or evaporate, as more of the facts about his checkered career came out. Almost any criticism of Obama has been equated with racism, even if there is no connection that can be seen under a microscope. Barack Obama himself started this trend when he warned that his opponents were going to try to scare the public with various charges, including a statement, ‘And did I say he was black?’ McCain said no such thing. Palin said no such thing. But those who support Obama—and this includes much of the media—are acting as if they just know that this is the underlying message. Congressman John Lewis has likened Senator McCain to George Wallace. Congressman John Murtha has condemned a whole section of the state of Pennsylvania as ‘racists’ because they seem reluctant to jump on the Obama bandwagon. Senator Harry Reid has claimed that linking Obama to deposed and disgraced Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines is racist, since they are both black—as if the financial and political connection between the two does not exist. Much is being made of the fact that, in past elections, some white voters who told pollsters that they are going to vote for a black candidate did not in fact do so, so that a black candidate with a lead in the polls ended up losing on election day. This is supposed to show how much covert racism there is. It might instead show that people don’t want to be considered racists by pollsters because they are leaning toward someone other than the black candidate. In other words, the media themselves helped create the charged atmosphere in which some people give misleading answers to pollsters to avoid being stigmatized.”

If Obama is not elected, Obamamaniacs will go berserk and cry out that it's because he's Black! It's because this is a racist nation full of bigots and rednecks!

If Obama is not elected it has to be because he is Black, not for any other reason. It can't possibly be because:

• he has an economic plan that is Socialistic in nature
  
• he is pandering to those who feel they are entitled
  
• people hate George Bush and this is an "Anyone but Bush" mentality
  
• it would be an era of Reid, Pelosi and Democratic ruled Congress
  
• it would be an era of social entitlement programs paid for, not by the rich, but by the middle class
  
• his judgement in the people he has associated with is questionable
  
• of his association with groups that are engaged in questionable activities
  
• he spent 20 years listening to a minister who is hate-filled, and claimed that minister as a mentor
  
• he has no executive experience
  
• his most Liberal Senator rating
  
• he has never authored or sponsored a bill of consequence or substance as a Senator
  
• he took the safe way of answering "present" as a state representative instead of taking a chance
  
• raising taxes in a time of economic turmoil
  
• he's spent almost as much time electioneering for the Presidency as he has in the Senate
  
• he will have the opportunity to place two or three Justices on the Supreme Court and numerous Judges on the Federal benches
  
• people are afraid of what Joe Biden might say as VP
  
• Using the usual Democratic scare tactics such as "The Republicans will take your Medicare, your Social Security and cut them out"
  
• Using misquoted and quotes taken out of context as talking points
  
• He will meet with leaders of terroristic nations without conditions
  
• The Constitution will be further assaulted and changed according to the Liberal movement
  
• Parental rights will be surplanted by the rights of children
  
• same sex marriage will become the norm
  
• the rights of the State will surplant the rights of the individual
  
• Freedom of speech will be determined by what you are saying and to whom
  
• Freedom to bear arms will be eliminated 
  

and so much more 

There are so many reasons not to vote for Obama, that his race is so far at the bottom of the list that it's on another page.
