Ponder the following:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the
stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant
teenage daughter?

What if John McCain was a former president of the
Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of
his graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a
divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife
after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up
to his standards?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a
long affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became
addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her
charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
(The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption
in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger
Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience
that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one who was known to display
publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money
from beer distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

You could easily add to this list. If these questions
reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be
as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and
minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative
qualities in another when there is a color difference.

Educational Background:

Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a
Specialization in International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cu m Laude

Joseph Biden:

North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two
highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world. You
make the call.

No, what really sucks is when dumbasses like yourself don't realize how ignorant you are. At least when you realize it you can change.

Unfortunately for us, it looks like you'll never learn, and you have a joy for spreading your stupidity with everyone.

What if Obama served as a senator for many years?

the stuff you're complaining about is every election anywhere in the world for all time, this stuff isn't just happening to Obama cause hes black. When people were trying to become senators in Rome people dug up shit from their past.

10/25/2008 3:07:36 AM

What if Obama posted political threads in Chit Chat?

What if John McCain told him to GTFO or go post in soap box?

Yeah, but McCain is a maverick, so we have to forget everything about his past except for Vietnam.

who cares

10/25/2008 9:21:41 AM

I'm with you on this one. If their resumes/backgrounds were reversed...McCain would have this thing signed, sealed, delivered....

As is stands though, McCain looks dead in the water, and it is his own damn fault.

10/25/2008 9:41:27 AM

Obama has not alreay won. The liberal left wing media is doing the same thing as they did in 2004.

Plus - the left never gets out to vote.

10/25/2008 9:52:01 AM

I'm more liberal than not, but this list is bogus and grossly biased in that they make NO mention of Biden's respective class ranks, and near academic failures (which historically have been noted over the past 20 or so years). He performed pretty poorly in college, and law school. The case can be made, easily, that the only reason he got into law school was the same reason W did (family significance).

Wolfood98,

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

i'm not saying it's anything to jump up and down about, but...

10/25/2008 2:23:46 PM

That's so one sided, it is just wrong.

All the good qualities of Obama vs. all the bad qualities of McCain.

What about doing it the other way around? Someone with time and motivation on their hand can do that one!

10/25/2008 2:38:52 PM

that's what i was thinking...but i don't really have the motivation


and there are so many things about it that are worded just the right way to make it sound worse than it is...

like the part about McCain adopting a white child. it neglects to mention that his wife brought the abandoned three-month old girl (who was in need of good medical treatment) to the U.S. from a Bangladeshi orphanage run by Mother Teresa.

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, RACE IS NOT A GODAMNED FACTOR IN THIS FUCKING ELECTION. OBAMA WILL LIKELY WIN IN A LANDSLIDE, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT? THE ARYAN NATION TO ENDORSE OBAMA? THE ENTIRE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS TO COME BACK FROM THE DEAD AND PASS A NON-BINDING RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF OBAMA? ROBERT BYRD TO PUT ON HIS OLD FUCKING KLAN ROBES AND SHOW UP AT AN OBAMA RALLEY?

Where are all the Obama supporters calling McCain a dirty, smelly cracker?

Where are the Obama supporters fabricating stores about 6'4" white people attacking them for supporting Obama, and scratching backwards "Ms" (which is still an "M") in to their faces?

10/25/2008 4:01:59 PM

do racists exist? yes.
are there racist McCain supporters? yes.
are there racist Obama supporters? yes.
are they having a big effect on this election? no.


If you want to play the "some of McCain's supporters are racist" card, I'll play the "Obama's pastor thinks that AIDS is a government conspiracy to kill black people" card. This same pastor described Louis Farrakhan as a man who, "truly epitomized greatness." I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to go into south-side Chicago and find plenty of racists who support Barack Obama. Do you really want to go down that road?


Race is only an issue because lazy political pundits want it to be. Ultra-right-wing racists weren't going to vote for Hillary, or John Edwards, or Joe Biden, or Dennis Kucinich or any other Democrat anyway. Obama isn't losing votes on account of race, the election won't be decided on racial lines. Give it a rest.
