Wow, I cannot believe I missed a three page politics discussion and I was not apart of.

The sad truth... Yesterday on election day a man was elected based on Race alone rather than policies. Say what you want, but African American and Hispanic voters wanted to see Obama in office for one reason. And it wasn't because he's going to fix Social Security. This equally works for whites as well who voted for McCain strictly because McCain was white. But the numbers show the African American vote being something like 96% to 3%. The white vote was in the ball park of like 60% (for McCain) and 40% (for Obama.) I just wished we would've voted on the issues rather than the color / gender of the candidates.

Liberal Politics... I cannot comprehend how any of the liberal prespectives can be truley believed in.

On one hand they're going to say it's okay to rip a living fetus out of a mother. But the deather penalty is cruel and unusual punishment for a murderer.

You'll come to find that Barack's "policies" weren't all that they were cracked up to be.

Obama

He stood very far to the left during his (very) short term in the Senate. With Republicans being blamed for everything, all Obama had to do was cross the line a little bit... "We'll look at drilling offshore." "The death penalty is okay only if the nature of the crime is severe enough." "We will withdraw from Iraq in a responsible manner." - Obama.

I guess we'll never learn from our own mistakes or even our mortal enemies mistakes. IE Soviets and Afghanistan, Us and Vietnam.

Let's jump in without thinking (I agree we acted too quickly), but the Democrats are going to make a bigger mistake throwing it all away when we suddenly turn it over to the Iraqi government. The term ARVIN ring a bell? A repeat incident perhaps? They may be capable, but they just aren't ready. Morale isn't extremely high for a young Iraqi.

Well, which part, the top or bottom? You cannot possibly disagree with the top?

I dont agree with the race statement....even if every african american person voted for him, they compromise less than 10% of the US population. Probably around 6-7%. Latino population is slightly higher...maybe 8-9% range. So that accounts for less than 20% of the population....which means the OTHER 80% had a large part to do with the results..sorry ..cant blame it on race...

as far as other policies, different people have different opinions and backgrounds...but on the other hand differences are what make our country so unique..

^ I agree. But that 10-20% was more than enough to cover the difference of the vote. They were the difference makers.

My Conservative veiwpoints don't agree with many people these days. So I'll stop it here.

Barack Obama is going to be our new president. I hope he can deliver part of his promises. (I didn't disagree with all of them.) (If they were true.) We'll see what happens. I haven't always been a strict GOP supporter. If Obama makes a drastic change and I like what I see, who knows? Four years from now I might vote for him.

Some pretty sick parts for the X's. How do you get invited to SEMA? Why don't they have it open to the public?

A couple of my problems with B. Hussein

1. Global Poverty Act - The USA will give .7% of gross national product, 845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid, to reduce other nations poverty. Could be one of the first changes we see since B. Hussein and Biden are both involved.

* I would rather spend this money in the good ol' USA.

2. Promised a tax cut for 95% of Americans...In 2011 Bush's tax cuts will run out, B. Hussein opposes extending these tax cuts, 100% of Americans go back to paying higher taxes.

* I am not sure how this will save me money.

-That is all.
