What I feel sorry for is the people that idolize any politician and make them the only person that can do anything for them . Like the woman that said i will not have to worry about my mortgages if Obama gets elected. Is he actually going to pay for her mortgages??? I highly doubt it. He will only give her higher energyt bills and more taxes.

Making a messiah out of a politician in not only wrong, it is harmful to the country. It is an abomination to what our country was founded on. We want regular people in the White House, a real person not some demagogue. The president is not God and is only human, but placing so much on a candidate is scary. It reminds me of what people have done for tyrants of the past. And they will be able to get away with much more shananigans than if not.

This is one of the biggest differences I see between Conservatives and Liberals. Liberals put so much into the candidate, and Conservatives look at candidates as someone that can help with out cause, not be the whole cause themselves.

It is very scary that Chicago Style Politics is also on the move across the country. The Pay For Play , worshiping of candidates and the thuggery that goes along with it is really scary.

And as everyone else I do empathize with people that want a African American in the White House. It will be a healing point in America, but just not this African American. He will take our country into a totally different direction than any of his followers think. He has been taught by the Liberation Theologists that plague Chicago. My mom did a good post on what the Community Organizer is in Chicago today at my blog. It is well worth taking a look and read look at the books she has found on Amazon about the Liberation theology and the relationship between ACORN and the Liberation Theology Churches.

They see themselves doing something, but they are doing it for someone else and not themselves. These are the same people that will probably end up giving Obama $1 billion since his first run as a state senator and they don’t even know him. Obama is running a new style platation where he inspires the millions of workers that get nothing back. Obviously they have the money, but it’s not obvious they know how to spend it. His aunt in the slums gave him over $200. That’s about a month worth of food for one person and probably enough money to cover her heating bills for the winter. Will Obama really be able to help them? No. But he says the things that the other leaders have promised and failed to give them and yet they still want to believe in hope and change. What they really need is a help up and it’s in Palin’s story and that’s something McCain’s camp failed to push.

Does it matter if the left-wing illuminati make history if it cost us our country? Making history doesn’t mean he’s qualified.

Being a denizen of Los Angeles, and hanging with the “arts” crowd, it’s almost like trying to quell a mob to listen to reason. But, they want more “empathy” from government, not logic about hurting corporations, which they view as “selling out”

It does get frustrating that find conservatism here is akin to the Underground Railroad.

When will race cease to matter?
———–

Never.

Without the race card and white guilt, they have nothing. Their poverty pimps like Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, Meeks, et al NEED to have race matter. Structually, it is more important for them to keep their people unassimilated, poor, drunk, doped-up, and killing each other than going to work, going to school, raising a family and actually succeeding. Obama is more of the former, not the later.

Even if every White person voted for Obama, then tatooed that on their bodies, race would still not stop mattering.

@AF Sarge (Ret):

Was listening to WLS, Chicago. All three men on the program were saying Obama is going to win tomorrow.

But, as I was cutting through a neighborhood where there are five houses in a row that had Obama signs for weeks, they were all gone. All the the signs of down ticket dems were still there, but, no Obama signs. I almost stopped the car. As of today, there were a few other houses on the block with McCain/Palin signs that were not there previously. It’s not an area where people would be stealing signs either, hopefully, they changed their mind. Being Illinois, our votes won’t really matter, Illinois will remain blue because of Chicago, I vote anyway.

Tomorrow night, half of America will be upset. If Sen Obama loses, those people you see weeping will be further alienated, ostracized, disappointed, and lost. If Sen McCain loses, his supporters will be disappointed, but probably most won’t be as disappointed as Cleopatra.

In any event, I hope and pray that the winners and losers, the supporters of each can find it within themselves to comfort each other and remind each other that we are all Americans. You vote matters, mine matters, and the result matters, but we are all Americans. I hope we can hold each other up rather than put each other down.

I do have my doubts about being able to do that, and so I feel for Cleopatra, and I am concerned.

But don’t you dare suggest that race has anything to do with Messiah voters. Unless of course it’s those voting against him!
