    Proof?

    There's probably hundreds of thousands of rednecks who would never ever listen to a word that Obama says simply because he's black. Trust me, there's enough ignorance on both sides.

    I thought about starting a new thread for this, but figured it was more apt just to keep it all in one thread.

    The L.A. Times and the Chicago Tribune both endorse Obama.

    This is a big leap for both papers, the Times, a republican leaning paper, has not made an official endorsement since Nixon. The Tribune has never endorsed a Democrat in its history dating back to the 19th century.

    With these, Obama has extended the newspaper endorsements to a better than 3:1 ratio, with 51 to McCain's 16 endorsements.

    Since when has the L.A. Times been a Republican-leaning newspaper?

    I'd have to say I don't really agree with economic equality. You deserve to keep what you work hard for. Sammy Slacker shouldn't be rewarded with a portion Wendy Workhorse's money.

    I spoke to a Jewish lady yesterday, she said that Obama and his entire campaign are a bunch of liars, and that Muslims shouldn't have more power in this World, that you can't trust such people.

    Talk about ignorance.

    Talking about liars, Colin Powell (remember his UN presentation??) has just endorsed Obama....one of the reasons being that Mrs Palin is not suitable to become president...

    The Colin endorsement has to put a hurt on McSenile....and a large amount of conservatives who have said they'd vote for Powell if he would run.

    Even Peggy Noonan is now saying Palin is a failure as a VP choice.

    I'm not sure that Palin was the best move at all. It was publicity stunt to get Hillary voters in my opinion. However, I do find all four of them to be unsuitable but McCain (through all of my political research) seems to be the slightly better person of the quartet.

    i would like to point out, that he was given an order to do that, and did not agree with it, knew the evidence was false, and did not want to go into iraq at that time.

    colin powell is a much better man than anybody else in the administration.

    I wanted to be ahead of people who would started in all seriousness to call Powell a liar, because of this....at least he had the guts to leave after GWB's first term.

    Yeah the people who worship Obama are akin to a cult thinking the god Obama will solve everything and pay for our college educations and healtcare (ahem with non-existent money). McCain is an old senile idiot who did a 180 degree turn on everything he used to believe in when the primaries came around so he can't be trusted either. Both McCain and Obama are morons and dangerous for our country and basically anyone would be better presidents than these two. Vote third party or independent

    Yes, unfortunatley many of the old Jews in Florida have a natural distrust of the schvartzes bred into them.

    I respect Colin Powell quite a bit for leaving after Term No. 1, and as I have said before, Palin is completly unsuited for the job.

    EDIT:
