Even McCain was getting sick of the Jeremiah Wright stuff. He tried to stop ads from being run about it by private groups.

Obama was pretty browbeated by the media during the primaries, so they just ran out of stuff to blow out of proportion. Palin got so much criticism because her political record is pretty thin, no other reason. Republicans who cried foul on sexism claims would have played the sexism card so bad if Hillary would have been the nominee.

 

So now we are going to talk about playing cards? Lets talk about how Obama is trying to play the racism card. I like that one. The only problem is that it is only the democrats even mentioning it. Obama himself won't shut up about it. He keeps saying crap like "there gonna try and scare you and I don't look like the guys on the currency". I have heard quotes of a least 5 democrats pulling the racist card.. but the Republicans have not even mentioned it.

Who care what happened in the primaries, maybe the Media outlets thought Hilary was better, but once she lost they moved over to Obamawagon. There was a poll recently that said 70(or 75)% of people thought that the media was advocating a certain canidate, and 80% of those said they thought it was Obama. So that leaves us with a vast majority of people believing the media is trying to get Obama elected. I am too tired and lazy to find the link... but it does exist.

Man, factcheck.org is your friend.

Oh, the GOP played the race card alright. Look at pics of the GOP convention. 36 blacks were in attendance. They have given up on blacks and aren't even courting them. Look at the Dems. They have no need to play a race card. For what? McCain's Rezko ad and the Raines ad are racist - and watch, you'll see Obama - white woman in an ad. They are trying to tie a black man with - gasp - a white woman. Sadly, that's still taboo in today's society.

And what about the measures targeting minorities in Mich. with the foreclosure lists? And in Va., they are trying to make it so college kids have to go to their homes and vote. In most states, you are required to give proof of residence. It's not like they are gonna vote twice.

The GOP is all about winning - by any means necessary. They have always played games on minorities (show up and vote Wednesday if it rains) and caging.

McCain is sliding fast and needs to take a breather. I liken it to a boxer that's very winded that constantly grabs his opponent and momentarily stops the fight.

I am calling it like I see it. The media is reporting equally. Just face facts - if Obama makes a mistake, the GOP will let you know. Remember the bitter comment? He learns.

What really showed me McCain was doomed was when George Wills, conservative columnist for the Wash Post, said McCain is not ready to be president. He did hit Obama but said he could learn the tasks quickly. But he expressed real doubts about McCain.

And mind you, this is a conservative guy, not a lib.
