TRUE DAT

p.s.: nathan petrelli is gonna be the "potus" in heroes (:

Actually what a rubbish one.

Skin tone is only part of what evokes a race based reaction.

McCain still looks like a Caucasian, albeit one who has spent a week in a tanning machine.

Obama still looks like an African-American, albeit one who has bleached his skin.

If this was a valid attempt to test race based reactions then their face shapes should have been edited, i.e. cheekbones, nose shapes, lips, etc.

Oh and congratulations to everybody who instead of commenting the picture, decided to rant and rave politically.

A note - it is a proven scientific fact that brain logic centers switch off when debating political issues if the subject identifies too closely with a given political view. Obama is not the Messiah, McCain is not the Devil, Obama is not a terrorist and McCain is not Bush II.

You're like the lady at my office that talks aobut her bladder problems loud enough for everyone to hear. Both of the things you have to say make everyone, even those that sympathize with you, around you cringe.

You're as asinine as those idiots who booed during McCain's speech last night everytime he mentioned Obama.

Well I have never seen a white man
And I have never seen a black man
Never met a yellow woman
Not a purple, red or blue man

Chorus:
We are all just different shades of brown
Dark and light, not black or white
We stand on common ground

Well I have never seen a green man
No, no orange, no tangerine man
I know at times we’ve all been blue, man
But it seems to me we’re all just human! (Chorus)

Maybe on the chessboard–the pieces are black and white
Maybe on the keyboard–the keys are black and white
Are ya livin’ in your left brain–where black and white are found
Well move into your right brain–Where all are shades of brown
(Chorus)

Whatever skin tone on the outside
Whatever differences we can’t hide
Remember every human worldwide
The blood runs red here on the inside (Chorus)

Socialism is BAD people! It punishes those who are successful and rewards those who are lazy. Less taxes on corporations are a GOOD thing. Who do you think employs you? What creates jobs in this country? Corporations do. If they get taxed more, they will NOT just take that out of their profits... it will be passed along to consumers through higher prices and through cost cutting by layoffs/hiring freezes. Especially in the current economic environment. That affects people like you and me.

This current trend towards the government acquiring stock in the major banks scares me. This whole bailout deal is a case of certain members of our government taking advantage of a tough situation. The government owning portions of capitalist institutions is straight out of the socialist playbook. Do you really want the government in control of your 401k/Mortgage?

Let those banks fail... serves them right for taking chances with risky investments. New ones will see the opportunity and rise to fill the gaps. We don't need a 'nanny' state taking care of our every need. Don't take handouts from the government... it doesn't help you in the long run. What helps you is if government assist you in getting a job. It's old adage: 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Show a man how to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' America is the only place in this world where this concept rings true, at least so far.

If Obama is elected, we are one more step away from these ideals. No one in the House or Congress will oppose him.

therealmccain.com focus on a big issue in my eye : the Republican campaign focused more on negative hype (why you shouldn't vote for Obama) rather than explaining why people should vote for them. It's going to hurt them.

I just wonder if they'd still say that in some places if Obama becomes President...
