How can you and lawfulsexslave diss someone for quoting the New York Times (yes, a liberal publication) and then advise people to read an extreme right wing novel such as Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi?? Way to recommend something nonpartisan!! Visit FactCheck.org, folks. Both candidates will disappoint you. I'm voting Obama, but I've had to work a long ways to get there, especially after seeing all of the garbage coming from both sides. I try to take the disappointment I have in both of their campaigns into consideration, but mostly I attempt to focus on what will make a positive difference in the future of our country.
Who cares that Obama was raised in Indonesia? Are you not considering the fact that he was born in Hawaii and has spent the majority of his life in America? Is being well rounded and traveled to be held against people now? And why should it matter that his step father was Muslim? My mother has been a Church of Christ member her entire life. Should one assume I'm also part of that church? Nope, too bad, I'm agnostic. More so BECAUSE of my mother's history with the church and what I know of it from that experience.
Also, in response to "someonesmarter," you must be kidding me, right? Michelle Obama pushing Barack Obama's celebrity? Really!? Last I checked, Michelle was hesitant about the election to begin with! She still tries to keep herself and her children out of the public eye. They keep very close tabs on the interviews their family does (including Barack!). This "celebrity" image everyone credits him with is not HIS own doing. Eesh.
Also - why is anyone talking about race! Black people, white people, hispanic people, asian people, american indian people, mixed people will all be voting. They'll all be voting for different candidates. WHO CARES!?
To begin with, folks that are throwing around "liberals can't handle to hear other peoples opinions"? I would not make a general statement about ALL conservatives like that, so please don't try to include me in that fell swoop. I'll listen to Elizabeth. When she is completely done, I'll come with a debate for her. That's the whole point of having a platform...to stand up for it.
I think Sherri Shepherd (the one no one seems to be able to name) was not trying to be loud to get her point of view across, she was trying to keep others from INTERRUPTING her. She's the one that told everyone to give Elizabeth a moment to speak her part, but afterwards, Elizabeth goes on to interrupt Sherri. Ahhh! It's not a matter of democrats or republicans or independents...it's a matter of people and their MANNERS!!! There is no way you could say all republicans are clean and respectful...neither are dems. Neither is ANYONE when it comes to politics.
The one thing I have wished in past campaigns and wish even MORE SO in this one, the elimination of TV ads. They are ALL full of such BS. Obama's, McCain's, third parties'. They are all complete crap. There's no purpose in even watching them. I mute them all - doesn't matter what candidate or party! They're all FALSE and TWISTED!! Can't we talk about that, The View ladies???
Outrage Canada, Sumfunwow, Linnae, Jenny2, and Joyous1....if you get soo upset about Perez posting something like this, I MUST ask that you stand up for all of the smear emails going around about Obama. The five of you (and everyone else!!) ought to visit FactCheck.org as well. It discredits both conservatives and liberals.
