    We had to throw in the "half-black" in there, huh? Sweet...

    Personally, my father is black, my mother is white...I guess my skin tone determines my character and my eligibility to run for president.

    Why is being half-black a bad thing? I never jumped to any such conclusion like you did. I do not judge people based on skin color - I judge candidates based on the content of what comes out of their mouths. Hussein Ubama delivers a great speech, but without substance.

    Uh, if I understand a basic definition of the word "judge", you basically just "judged" Obama in one sentence by his "skin color" and not the "content" of what has come out of his mouth.

    Do you describe your homeboy McCain as that "white" guy? I doubt it.

    It would be nice if we could describe our politicians without descriptions of color once in awhile. It takes everyone back.

    That's a load of crap. I didn't judge anybody. I described him as Joel Osteen-like, but half-black. How is that judging anybody? It's an irrefutable fact that he's half-black. I made no comments saying that being half-black is a bad thing - that's what you ASSUMED

    you might want to curtail the assumptions, brah. TIA

    Why do you and Trader continue to use Obama's middle name and misspell his last name? I assume by your posting history it's because you're a hater and you want to perpetuate the fiction that he's somehow less American or less Christian than any other American. You apparently would have us believe you do this without an ounce of malice and simply because you're judging Obama by the substance of his record and the depth of his character rather than who his parents are and what they named him at birth. Rove politics will not save your party this year. The country is ready to turn the page on the politics of fear and hate, figure it out.

    Because you mention it every time you bring anything about Senator Obama. If you said it once, it would be one thing. You're so obsessed with his racial makeup that it's sickening.

    This is why nobody takes you seriously. It's just not necessary.

    You have to look at the whole name in context, silly. "Barack" and "Hussein" are Arabic, so his last name - which is Kenyan, of course - should be spelled phonetically as though it were Arabic.

    If my name was Ivan Smith, our boy texx would spell my last name Смыць.

    Seriously, after watching the Pakistan thing, I believe Obama was exactly correct. He may have stated it a little differently and been a little more clear, but he is absolutely right on the issue.

    If we know where Obama is, he needs to be taken out. If the leader of the nation where Obama is known to be hiding won't do it, then we need to take him out regardless.

    Unlike some the CHICKENhawks, I don't think the U.S. needs to be afraid of Pakistan. The U.S. should not be in the business of caving in to dictators who wouldn't go after the head of Al Qaeda hiding out in their nation, even if bigtexxx and TJ are too scared to do anything about it.

    Don't you mean Osama?

    The problem with that policy is that we're better off doing it on the downlow than broadcasting our intentions to violate other countries' sovereignty.

    You constantly say "half-black" when referring to Obama. It is intentionally racist. The only reason people here don't raise hell about it is that you and the other Bobbsey Twin are a joke. Too bad there's no humor there.



    Impeach Bush.

    Lol! texxx has me doing it. Now. That's hilarious.

    But yes I meant Osama.

    If we do it, it should be on the down low. But it may be if we make it known that it will be done one way or the other, the people who should have taken care of it to begin with, will actually start to take care of it now.

    I don't know which statement is more ridiculous:

    "Barack Obama is the great white hope."

    Or

    "Don't trust your pastor if he's never been to jail."

    Winner. According to him, you're not really black unless you've been to jail. Found his speech incredibly ignorant and racist.
