So what is the over/under on how many "Obama is bad because..." threads are going to be started every day until the election?

If he does win this place will melt down.

Stories like these really do irk me because I really don't care what the populairty of a candidate is in another country, I want who's best for this country (or at least not as bad as the other candidate).

You know, I honestly think I will probably vote for McCain. That is quite a departure for me. My father and his father were staunch dems and I always fancied myself quite liberal (mainly socially). Now that I make my own money and pay my own taxes, I have become more financially conservative.

I guess I have become greedy enough to vote republican. :)

Maybe I have been brainwashed by the politics forum.

I'd say decidedly fewer than the number of media pieces similar to the ones I've posted this week that will be written about him.

The reason I ask is because of your post, I know you think politics should be more civil, but quite frankly this guy scares me to death... this isn't just a simple disagreement over a few issues.... I really worry about it.

There is a eerie ( scary) kind of feeling out there right now with the housing roller coaster, gas prices, and terrorism etc. Socialism scares the beejezus out of me.

I grew up in a staunch democratic family also. You know the kind that says my daddy or papaw would roll over in his grave if he knew I was voting Republican.

You have two choices, generally, you didn't with Bush/Gore, Bush/Kerry or Obama/McCain but you either vote for more government or not.

Honestly, considering the fact that I live in a decidedly red state, I could write in Darth Vader and it really would not amount to a hill of beans.

Hmm, I may be onto something.:question:

I really didn't grow up in a political family... nothing was ever discussed much that I remember. I actually turned my family into conservatives (you guys can throw stuff at me at the UT home games).

Both my grandads were hardcore Dems, but before they died, I asked them about certain issues, and basically they were conservative and didn't realize it. When you were part of a railroad union, you were a Dem, end of story.

Maybe I am being too...I don't know, calm. But I don't think the world is going to end like you guys seem to.

Edit: This did not come out like I meant for it to, but I can't seem to come up with the right word. Maybe I am too jaded to think that the president really makes that big of a difference in my life. I will say this, though, more defense spending = more money for me. Yay military industrial complex.

I suspect that most of us from the South grew up in Southern Democrat style families. Those Democrat folks in my family have much more in common with today's Republicans than they do the ridiculous party that the Dems have morphed into.

I can't imagine anyone in my entire family's history seeing eye to eye with Obama or Hillary on more than a couple of insignificant topics, and they were all Dems. My father was probably in the first generationto ever vote Republican. He'd vote Dem today in a heartbeat if they represented anything at all that he believes in. They don't, so he won't.
