smack down


There is this person who through the election have butted heads with.
They are very pro McCain and I like Obama.
So when the election was over I called and told them sorry their candidate lost.
They responded with, "People voted for Obama because he is black."
I've been hitting my head against a wall all morning because of that.

I don't think McCain is evil but if Obama had McCain's past he wouldn't have made it past Hilary.


What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe
disfiguring car accident?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while
he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain
killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?(The Keating Five
were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major
political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s
and early 1990s.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included
discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on
many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in
the land as well as our standing in the world.

Amen. Let's face it, if McCain had a heart attack in office and he left Palin to take care of things while he was gone... Well, giving a type writer to a monkey. That sums it up.
