Eire_Eyes: Why doesn't anyone in this damn country other than WE the people do something about the illegals? And why in the hell would you give these people amnesty? That is unfair to the working class who have to pay taxes and everything else for these people! I stress this very much to all of you that when you vote for the next president in the primary and then in big election as I like to call it that you make sure you know all of their issues they're fighting for because there are some Repulicans and some Democrats that want amnesty which goes against our Constitution and our laws. If these people want to be legal they should do it the right way! My ancestors did and look what happened to them, "Irish need not apply!" Every other race was treated better than they were and so the IRISH built the railroads and worked in the mines, they help built America! I want my forefathers dream to stay alive to preserve what they built so hard to do. I understand that there are those that come in just to work jobs we think is beneath us, but to be honest why don't we get off our lazy butts and do it! If you want to work and live here then you should do it the right way and become a legal citizen if not go home and fix the problems in your own damn country because we already have enough problems to fix in our own!
I agree with you, except, the remarks about not doing jobs we consider beneath us. Simply isn't true. Sure, last hired gets the grunt work, just the way it is. Only reason why it SEEMS they do this work and others won't, is probably because so many of those jobs are the ones they steal when they get here. Can't even speak english and they sure aren't going into a very high level job, or one that deals with the public etc. And yes, it has already been proven, when they clear out the illegals, and make those job openings, Americans line up to apply for them. So PLEASE, stop repeating this myth. There are idiots who actually believe it like it was gospel and the hard and fast rule, which it isn't, BY A LONG SHOT.
BnaturAl: Actually Obama is half white, half black .. not much room for racial squabbles, let alone dividing lines.
Sadly, I think someone running on the "Free Miller Beer In Every Home" and "Shoot All Dem Durn Illegals" platform could make a pretty strong showing in our political process.
Once again, C'mon people!!!! HE (barack Huessin obama) himself calls himself black!!! So what is it that you people cannot accept!?!? OR understand?????
The part I don't understand is why he calls himself black when he is no more so than his other racial half. Is he ashamed of the other half or what? Seems these days it is better to be mixed than just one thing, at least I think those who are diverse have more exposure to the different cultures even if it is only at home, so why would he only refer to himself as the one? Or for that matter, does anyone understand why any mixed people only associate themselves with one part of who they are?
dazzling_dave: I find it interesting that most think a Democrat president is a foregone conclusion.
I don't. I don't by a long shot. I'd like to see a Democrat but with the choices it looks like we are going to be given I truly don't expect to see one.
I think you will see a lot of people come out and vote just to vote against this possible ticket, especially if McCain is the Republican candidate. To me he is as close as you can get to being a Democrat and still be a Republican.
I am truly disappointed in the Democrats for not giving us a better choice.
Bnatl, I do think, in this current time, that yes, if he is indeed muslim at heart, it is a concern. No, I am not saying that they are all evil, just that being trained to be "sleepers" like they are, very hard to trust, because you just can't tell which are the evil ones.
It's too bad that Black America will vote only for his skin color not his political agenda. That is the truth people, I'm not totally sold on him but he will have to be bullet proof.History proves that blacks in this country have voted for the "Black" candidate in any election anywhere just to have one up on the man. So very sad that we as people of this great country do not always get educated to the facts and vote responsibly. Look at D.C. Marion Berry a crackhead, got elected after all the tapes of him blazin up with a woman.The black voter registration will go thru the roof just to have a "Black" person in the oval office. Will he be ready, we all better hope so if he wins.
I don't know whether any candidate can make anything better, but I want the damn war to be stopped, and McCaine doesn't, so to hell with him! No good will come from the war, nor matter who "wins."

jbibiza: I'm just disgusted by the fact that we still live in a world that this even has to be a thought.
As long as a person is judged by the colour of his skin and not by his brains, we will hardly see a better world... Honestly, to me a question of a person's race would only arise if I had to choose actors for a show where people of different colours had to be represented... yellow, black, white, maybe green...
If O'Bama is elected....I will give serious concideration to moving to another country. I don'tsee that happening, though. I believe Mc Cain will be elected first!! Just the way I see it!
either 8 more years of war or 8 years of social unrest. O'Bama is intent on dividing the country and polarizing the races. Mc Cains is intent on pleasing big business.
