I was going to vote for McCain just so people couldn't claim I'm only voting for Obama just so people don't claim I'm racist... but now I'm not so sure. When is the election again?

down along Highway 1 around Half Moon Bay....endless fields of fruits and vegetables......all the way down to Monterey .....endless.
also thousands of illegals on their knees, picking and harvesting, breaking their back, 12 - 14 hours a day.
6-7 $ / hour. awesome benefits, 401K, stock and share options. every season .....several dead of heatstroke and dehydration.
yes, i agree - they take all the good jobs the americans WOULD LOVE TO have !
so that at the end of the day we can go to Safeway and buy fresh handpicked fruit, that these people could never afford.
send them all home ? when i lived in Miami....not 1 ! restaurant would be open without those people. so......whats the solution ? i dont know.
Obama wears a TAG whereas McCain doesn't know how many watches he owns.ThreadLocker said:

I'm shocked and amazed that you can be picking on Obama for opulence and describing McCain as one of the people. It's demonstrative of the general bias of this forum that is shown in the poll. When I have accused RWI in the past of being more pro-American (in Palin's use of the word) than the other forums, people have asked me for an example of what I meant. Reading this thread describes what I was proposing.
How did you guys like Obama's movie? Amazing that a guy would spend almost $5 Million on producing and showing a movie, when families have it so tough. Why not give it to charity? 600 Million spent on his campaign? Nearly 7 times what John McCain has spent! Who will be more prudent with our tax money?

The poll is tied. What bias are you talking about?
Poking fun at politicians is an aspect of free speech, a basic right being eroded in our country.
AllergyDoc said:
Free speech is only guaranteed to the minority. If you are in the majority, your free speech is considered a form of oppressing the minority, unless you agree with them! Therefore, if you are Pro-Obama, you can drill McCain and you are just expressing yourself. If you are pro-McCain and thrash Obama, you are a hate-monger! What is the deference? I do not see any, but liberals believe there is. People can question why McCain spent $150,000 on clothes for Palin. The media made it out to be a scandal. However, nobody questions Obama on his $5 million dollar movie. Joe the plummer gets a cavity search for asking a question? Obama supports Terrorists (Ayers), PLO leaders (Rashid Khalidi), anti-american activists (Rev. Wright, Father Flieger), out-spoken racists (Louis Farrakhan) and convicted felons (Tony Rezko). What happens to him? He just says: "They are some guys I know from the neighborhood." Media says: "No problem, sorry we bothered you" Let's just hope that if elected, he leaves his homies behind in the neighborHOOD. If not, will Rev. Wright be conducting the prayer breakfast at the White House? Washington already has enough corruption. Or is that the change we need? Corruption of a different kind in Washington?
At the end of the day, the american public will know more about a plummer then the President, if he is elected! Are you ok with that? I am not! Bottom line is that tis is all about trust. Can you trust Obama to do what he says? I do not think so. His actions do not back his words, as pretty as they may be. I have to choose who to trust my family's future to. I choose McCain. Is he perfect, hell no. However, I feel much more comfortable trusting him. Just my .02
Nice edit.AllergyDoc said:
"pro-American (in Palin's use of the word)" means Republican.
For some people, those on the right seem to believe they're more American than those on the left. I am shocked how they come to this conclusion, but they do. Apparently, they love America more than those on the left who, according to them, obviously hate America.
Total fricking lunacy.

Someone, who shall be left nameless (Michelle Obama), said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country." What was her thoughts on this country prior to that? Obviously I love my country more than her. At least that is one example that disproves your point!
If you want to see her opinions about this country, read her dissertation she wrote about race in America when she was at Princeton. This was locked until after the election, but the requests were so high that the Princeton library released it.

Do you still love your kids even when they come last in sports? Of course you do, but you won't be proud of them when they're doing sports.
Disproves, my arse. Even Laura Bush defended her:
"I think she probably meant I'm 'more proud,' you know, is what she really meant, I mean, I know that, and that's one of the things you learn and that's one of the really difficult parts both of running for president and for being the spouse of the president, and that is, everything you say is looked at and in many cases misconstrued."

I would be proud of my child no matter what, as long as the effort was there. I do not need a star QB, a straight A student, or a son who is a Presidential nominee to be proud of them. She is obviously only proud when the majority agrees with her view. Sad that a party that spouts diversity, fails to acknowledge the rights of others to disagree with them.
Thanks for replying to the comedic part of my post.ThreadLocker said:
You think Laura Bush misinterpreted her? Really?
Are you going to tell us Obama is a Muslim next? Or are you going down the Communist route? How about he's one of those pesky Elitists? I await your next regurgitation of the far-right slander pages with eager anticipation.
pugwash said:
Lead by example. Heard of it? This cries constantly about how people are suffering. Economically, millions are miserable. Can't pay for healthcare, higher education, mortgages, retirement. As president, he will fix this? He will dramatically cut spending? Let's look to his example to see his leadership style:
He raised and spent more money on a campaign ($600M) then any other candidate in history. Seems like a guy that will immediately hult spending when elected. Well...after his victory party in Chicago, that he has already planned.
McCain has $84 million. If Obama would have chosen to spend $168M, he would have doubled McCain. Would give him a fair shot tp win, right? Then, he could have practiced what he so eloquently preaches, and given the rest ($432M) to charity. I would have respected that, and would have considered voting for him. I like people who practice what they preach. How is it patriotic that we give more, to make things fair, but he refuses? $432 million dollars could have helped a lot of people. He chose to help himself. Moreover, he, Pelosi, and Reid will help themselves to anything they please when they have total control. God help us! (Sorry for that. There needs to be a separation of church and state) Maybe during his term he'll get it switched to "In Gods we trust".
I don't think that's legal. It's called subverting funds, or something.ThreadLocker said:
If you get political donations for your campaign, you have to spend them on the campaign[1].
About half of Obama's funding has come from donations of under $200, whereas significantly less (about a quarter) of McCain's funding was sub-$200 donations. This means an awful lot of people wanted Obama to campaign successfully. I doubt many of them would have been happy if Obama had decided he didn't want their money and given it away instead.
Nice try though.
[1] Which is why you won't find me complaining about Palin's $150k wardrobe much.
pugwash said:
You are right, but it begs the point: Why did he opt out of public funding? Why did he break his promise not to take private donations? I know: So tht he could get as much as possible to spend. How else would he have had money to get his seat on his private jet embroidered with: "President" and the United States of Obama seal? Would have had to dump the $5 million movie idea too. Would not have been able to outspend McCain 7 to 1 in most battleground states. Makes sense to me:
Break your promise and do what is best for you. Now what is gonna change when he is President? Will he break promises to suit himself, or not? Actions speak LOUDER than words. A leopard doesn't change its spots. History repeats itself. and an apple does not fall far from the tree (mentored by Rev. Wright)
These sound familiar, leftie? He WILL break the promises he is making now, and do what suits himself and the lefties later.
