i guess racist was too strong of a word, the right word should be ignorant.
after watching the debates and interviews with different stations, its hard to imagine why people would vote for mccain as opposed to obama.

Simple, if you have conservative views, and you were to stack all senators in order of who would be the most liberal, Obama would be at the top of the list. He voted for his party over 96% of the time in his years in the senate (more then any other senator).

So, if you are a conservative, you would never vote for him.

Not to be mean, but the best way to pick a candidate is to look at what they have done in office. Go to the link below and do some research. Using youtube clips is an extremely poor way to pick the next man who will hold the most powerful office in the world.

@TheRealMafoo. It is also to look at their character, not just what they have done in office. A president has to have more than good policies and a good voting record.

Yea, but no candidate has any of those qualities, so the best we can do is voting record. Both have huge commities telling them how to act. The best way to know how they really will act, is to look at how they have acted.

Go here, find something you care about, and see how each voted:

Actually I would disagree, I would say both candidates look to be capable of the office. McCain seems to be ignoring his committee and not attacking Obamas personal image (maverick I say!) and Obama has shown that his is an excellent orator and a person who believes in what he speaks.

Both of them have qualities as people that I like.

Of course this was really just a big lead up for me attacking Palin for having no qualities whatsoever.

The thing is, McCain is still just perpetually attacking Obama's character right now at every campaign stop he makes, he just drew the line those couple times. There's still ridiculous outbursts at McCain/Palin rallies that go completely unchallenged. Literally, McCain's only hope left is to sway the opinion of over a tenth of the voting populace that Obama is unfit on a personal level, because on the issues, (like the economy, first and foremost) he's getting destroyed. He's got about 3 weeks left to do this. I'm sure you can guess how well this is going to turn out for him.

Interesting....

What I find hilarious is that all of you Obama supporters are attacking us and calling these names. A bit hypocritical right?

The fact of the matter each of us have our own views about politics and whether it might be clear in your mind that Obama exemplifies the "right" answers and policies (right being what YOU think is right) is not what the other half thinks.

Im conservative, and calling me rascist/ignorant because I support McCain is as low as the conservatives you are trying to generalize me as. Generalizations can be made for both sides, yet all I see here are the liberals ganging up and making it seem like fact.

McCain, not Palin, exemplifies my views. Whether of foreign policy, or domestic, or social, he is exactly what I want to see in a President. Now, Obama is pretty good too and if he had more experience I would vote for him in 4 years.

McCain is as liberal as a conservative can get, thus making him very moderate. Most of the country, and myself included, are moderate and I really hate seeing the 10% on either side of the spectrum decide what direction our country is taking.

Here is another one you would have thought would go the other way.

Here is an important one. A vote to repeal the income tax on Social Security benefits. Obama voted against it, McCain for it.
