The People's Chimp Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 You bet your house on it then. Anyone who uses the phrase 'free money' is doomed to lose. Even the racists in America are voting Obama, as McCain is a complete nutter. true. did anyone see the quotes from leading white power supremacists who are voting for obama? Three out of four white supremacists prefer Obama to McCain. Tom Metzger, Director White Aryan Resistance "McCain... He’s a scary, scary person -- more dangerous than Bush. Obama, according to his book, Dreams Of My Father, is a racist and I have no problem with black racists." Erich Glieber, Chairman, National Alliance "Obama... He’s a very intelligent man, an excellent speaker and has charisma... My only problem with Obama is perhaps he’s not black enough.” Rocky Suhayda, Chairman, American Nazi Party “White people are faced with either a ***** or a total nutter who happens to have a pale face. Personally I’d prefer the *****." The odd one out is Ron Edwards, Imperial Wizard of the Imperial Klans of America “Obama, I think he’s a piece of ****."

Just now, if McCain's odds drop to 5/1 and Obama I'll be ?30 up. It's essentially playing the race like the stock market. Bet when the odds are high and lay when the odds are low.

There will be millions of blacks voting for the first time just because there's a mixed race candidate. It probably cancels itself out - I read about someone on the Howard Stern show who went round Harlem asking locals who they'd vote for. Overwhelmingly it was Obama so the guy asked them if he agreed with Obama's policies and proceeded to read some out and of course they agreed. Trouble was the policies in question were McCain's. For however many white people will reuse to vote for Obama due to race (and not nearly as many of some of the more ignorant and dare I say it, racist posts on here suggest) there will be at least an equal or greater amount of blacks that will vote for Obama for racial reasons. Apart from looking like a whiter version of Harry Lenix and saying "change" a lot I don't really get what the fuss is about. It also turns out that if Obama wins he'll be the first black president of the USA, a fact that until I was reminded of it a mere 65,000,000 times in election coverage I had been unaware of.

Rocco_Jambo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 People will always vote for someone they feel they have more in common with and will represent their interests whether they actually do or not. Whether this common factor is religion, geographical location, location, nationality or race they will always be more inclined to support them as they feel they will more likely represent their views than the other guy.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have to love how its ok to vote obama because he is black and no other reason but not ok to not vote him because he is black. Its utterly farcical that simply being born black seems enough to get you into power in america. How long before the PC brigade in this country are demanding a black PM whether he is actually the best man for the job. I actually had nothing against Obama until today and watching the media coverage and the whole race angle being played to get him in I really do hope mccain pulls off a shock.
