I've seen it on this list. People who you would 
not expect to support McCain are coming out in 
full force against Obama. I've seen ridicule and 
the 'big lie' (it worked for the Germans and Al 
Gore so why not?) used against Obama and those who talked 'for' him.

Why support the Republicans? The Republicans are 
the political party of Death and Dollars. Since 
the Republicans took office we have had thousands 
of American's deaths at the hand of foreigners. 
Tens of thousands of foreigners have died by our 
hands. We have invaded two countries in Asia (the 
fighting continues) and we have borrowed over a 
trillion dollars (more than the total borrowed 
1776-2000).

Things are not going right under the Republican leadership.

The only people I'd expect to see supporting 
McCain are the "me Republican, Me good, you bad" 
folks and those that were getting some of that trillion borrowed dollars.

With all the Republicans have done and are still 
doing (the $85b bailout, how much have the 
Republicans spent on 'welfare' in the last two 
terms? Talk about corporate welfare!) why are 
some so against the Democratic candidate?

What is really wrong with Obama ?
He's a product of the Illinois democratic machine 
but everybody know that, not good but not the end 
of the world. He hasn't done much to get everyone 
really pissed at him yet. He is a Democrat. I 
have to admit that life was better when Bill 
Clinton was running things (I never did trust 
him, never voted for him but things were better)
Why so against the Senator from Illinois?
It's like fear or hate but he hasn't really done 
anything to hate or be afraid of.

Then I got it, he's black.

That explains the fear, hate, unusual supporters 
of that Republican crap and all the supporting bs on this list.

Too bad.
