The "race card" is there because the liberal media keeps hyping it, at
least to a great extent. I'm not saying that racism is dead in this
country. I'm saying it's still alive, largely because it benefits the
liberal cause.

Anne,

Why do you think the largely liberal media "stirs thing up"?

Marsha/Ohio

Fox News is liberal? What exactly is the "liberal cause"? And how does
racism benefit it?

The general media, by and large, is liberal. That cannot be denied. That
media, combined with the "benefits" that racism gives the liberal cause,
is fueling racism.

Marsha/Ohio

inflammatory stories in the headlines, job security, so to speak. During
political races like this one, the political commentators remind me a lot of
our weather people during hurricane season. They darned near have to keep
hankies handy to wipe the drool off their chins!

Is Fox News the only media out there? What about CBS, ABC, NBC, NPR? I
don't even want to get started on newspapers or Hollywood. Social
programs are one of the biggest priorities of liberals - the more, the
better. No personal responsibility or willingness to better your lot in
life is expected in return. Liberals like to believe they are the
"champions of the poor." IMO, most of the programs designed to help
people do more harm than good by fostering an attitude of "what's in it
for me" or "how can I get more." Please keep in mind that this is just my
opinion and not all Democrats fit this picture.

I'll agree with you about the weather people. We've got one local guy who
gets so excited when bad weather is approaching. He talks faster, his
pitch is higher, and his voice gets hoarse. You'd almost think he was
having an orgasm.

And no responsibility? Can we talk about the republicans? Duke Cunningham
crying when he got caught. I'm so sorry (that I got caught that is). No
responsibility from any of them for anything they do. It is always someone
else's fault. Or someone was just out to get me (Tom Delay). PLEASE let's
not try that argument. They are the biggest not taking responsibility for
what they do folks I've ever seen lately.

My concern about the electorate and the "race card" is not based on the
news
media. It's based on people saying to my face they would never vote for
Obama or any other black candidate for president--citing various reasons,
primarily that he would favor blacks and promote legislation that would
be
detrimental to whites. It is also based on the terrible e-mails I have
received that are outright lies--and sent to me by people I previously
respected and thought had some modicum of intelligence! I hear reasons
based on National Security, and not sufficient support for Israel, and of
course the fact that despite evidence to the contrary he is a Muslim.

I think there is absolutely no way the polls can measure the effect the
race
card will play on the election, and what people will do when they
actually
are in that voting booth. I sure hope I am wrong in my concerns.

Me, if Obama is the candidate I will vote for him. He is too liberal and
I
am concerned about some of his proposed programs, but John McCain is too
tied to the present administration, and just plain too old, and in my
opinion just plain wrong on some issues that are important to me.

Vote for the Libertarian Party candidate, Bob Barr. Voting for either
the Demolican or Republicrat candidate will give us more of the same
we've had for years and years. Voting for the lessor of two evils is
still voting for evil.

((For years I kept hoping the party
would grow, but it has not and I see more hope with the Democrats this
time))

Barb, what's bothering me is both party candidates, Senators McCain
and Obama, have said they want to run a civil campaign, which means
sticking to issues without personal attacks. From what I'm seeing
lately, they are discussing Iraq in a verbal slugfest type of way, and
I suppose that is progress.

What have they to say, though, about the economy? I haven't caught any
sound bites of importance about that. The cost of oil dropped today
to $123 a barrel, but will that help at the pump? It could be worse, I
guess, since I heard in England they are having to pay around $9 a
gallon.

Still, I'd rather my money go for cat food rather than gas, and right
now Blue Satyr's tank is only half full.

It would be illegal to marry even unofficially really. So a government
that promotes family values and morality says she has to either a) live
alone and lonely along with this physical burden she had to bear or b)
live in sin. Sorry, that is just not right. OTOH, I know there are
