We do not want you to tell us whom to support. Either democrat will be great but not a warmonger or a soon alzheimer-to be. McCain, please go home because it's too late for you to be called Mr president; now it's your alzheimer time. See a doctor mr mcbush would be better for you than running for this office!!!

The only thing forcing her out is that she was out-organized and out-campaigned by a political newcomer who has caught on to a deep and pervading desire in this country to see the partisan bickering stopped. As a white older American, I applaud his honesty, his integrity, and his truly gifted way of bringing people of all colors, ages, and religions together; that is, if you lay aside your pre-conceived political and racial biases, take a step back, and actually look at the kind of human being he has been and is. He is a member of a Church whose former pastor said some controversial things. If you are a member of a Church whose pastor never challenged the political status quo, I pity you. Barack Obama joined a Church, a great Church, which grew to be great under the inspired leadership of Jeremiah Wright. Listen to his other sermons. Rev Wright is an immensely inspiring preacher, who after retirement, turned out to be a human being with the same kind of shortcomings that many of us share with him. If you haven't read about it before, look up "The Tuskegee Study on the effect of Non-treatment of Syphilis in Black Males," a study that lasted from 1932-1972. Perhaps if you read it, you will understand the deep hostility toward a government which at times was immoral and hate-filled toward the black race. If you haven't read it, just be silent - you don't know and can't know what you are talking about.. Clinton supporters, stop talkaing about her being forced out.

We need more people to choose between when we vote. All of you people who complain about the way government is run and then get so outraged when someone like Ralph Nader has the audacity to actually want to run for President b/c it might take votes away from your candiate are such hypocrits. This move could very well hurt McCain but it's good for the United States and that is what is more important. As a McCain supporter I applaud this move.

Obama campaigned for Odinga in August of 2006,just before he filed with the US Federal Elections Commission for his presidential candidacy. The idea was simply to have the Luo tribe, mostly Muslims, to take over Kenya from the inheritors of colonial power, the Kikuyu, and bring the country under Sharia law, kick out the Western investors in the nation that had made it one of the most stable nations in Africa, and supplant those Western investors with wealthy Arab oil money.It all failed.Then Odinga yelled election fraud, and put his Luo Islamofascists into the streets of Nairobi to “protest” by murdering, raping and maiming Kikuyu people, including the recent burning alive of a church full of Christians Obama and his paternal 1st cousin Odinga, wanted to bring the whole of Kenya under Sharia law.

It is a real shame the media shut him down in the Democratic primary. He was not even invited to the debates except the first 2. Mike Gravel has some good ideas and has a backbone. He was the only politician I ever heard declare that the war on drugs needs to end. It is the biggest waste of taxpayer money in history is is not working. Over half the people in prison are in for drug possession, while the hard-core criminals serve only a fraction of their sentences because we can't build more jails fast enough to keep up with the demand.

Just for the sake of explaining this, let's say 500 blacks came out to vote and ninety percent of those blacks voted for Obama, 10% for Hillary. 2,000 whites came out to vote and Hillary had the majority of their votes. You will hear that 60% voted Hillary and 40% Obama. The numbers are not even proportional to each other ; 500 is a long way from 2,000. Perhaps if it was equal playing ground 2,000 blacks and 2,000 whites or 500 blacks and 500 whites, you could make a better argument. Think logically people.

A more conservaqtive mesage is sure to snatch votes from McCain, as evidenced by a quarter of voters in North Carolina and Indiana voting against him-a couple months after his last opponent dropped out. Personally, I'm voting for Obama because I am not going to allow the press to cast my ballot for me. I think he's decent and caring. And I also believe McCain has had 25 years as an insider to change things for the better. He has chosen to not do so. He does not deserve my vote.
