How can anyone who supported Obama and the democrats now be so easily swayed away to vote for McCain???? Do you actually know what McCain and Palin stand for??? Do you think that this ticket will in anyway benefit us who BET represents….it stands for BLACK entertainment television right!?!?!?! Have you actually agreed or been satisfied with the last 8 years run by Bush & the Republicans??? Wake up people and don’t become brainwashed after seeing Mrs. Palin and not hearing anything other than a speech on a teleprompter ONE time! Those defectors were never on the right side(Obama/Biden) or even understand what is at stake here. And furthermore any women who appreciates and is thankful that she has total control over her own body needs to read up on what the McCain/Palin ticket will do to you and our daughters, sisters, nieces and other women we love! This would be such a dangerous vote and loss of rights…remember 3 Supreme Court appointments will happen when the next President of the U.S. take office. If you want the government to take control of your body and rights for for McCain! Voting for anyone just because of gender or race is a gamble…make sure you know when you gamble your rights away try living in a time that my 70 old parents lived through years ago without rights! Be careful and be warned that if we do not support our one candidate who is and has single handedly inspired, motivated and brought together so many has to make it to the white house!
Please study and examine the platforms and issues these candidates stand for…and once educated you will make the right decision for the rights of all of us!
MLK and countless others died for us to have this right and make a difference…one day we can all stand together and rejoice! Make the right choice!

Thanks for clearing that up.Besides if there was such a video FOX would be airing that more than they do Rev. Wright.

When I look at the ticket of McCain-Palin, I see a old guy who was a playboy, who left his first wife after she stood by him, raising his children, until his release as a POW. I see a VP pick who gave birth a mere eight months after eloping, whose husband has had trouble with the concept of a designated driver, and whose pregnant 17-year-old daughter is unmarried.
But what really irritates me is not this explicit hypocrisy. It is that the Christian Right is positively jubilant over the fact that Sarah Palin’s daughter intends to keep the baby and get married, yet conservatives have helped to ensure that few young people have that as a viable option.

The life prospects of a teenage couple with a child and only high school degrees have collapsed in this modern economy. Things that might have prevented this deterioration — such as support for unionism, fair trade policies, a minimum wage that constitutes a living wage and universal health care — have all been anathema to the Republican Party.

Bristol Palin will do fine, of course, with Mom’s stature and money. Others are not so lucky.

Why is it okay that Sarah Palin is considered a “rock star”? Remember 3 weeks ago when the right ripped Obama calling him the same? Palin gave an arrogant speech (again written by others), she NEVER sold the plane on e-bay by the way, it was sold by a broker to Larry Reynolds of Valdez, AK. for 2.1 mil. ($300,000 below it’s value) Mr. Reynold’s was also a huge campaign contributor to Mrs. Palin. Funny that he got such a good deal; makes you wonder why the “liberal” media hasn’t covered that one (probably because there is no liberal media). Americans should wake up and smell what’s being shoveled. You are being force fed advertising slogans by the right (catchy, but with no real substance) and you are eating it up. The fact remains that if McCain and Palin get into the white house, we won’t even recognize this country in 4 years, I’ll be in New Zealand, a place where people make up there own minds, and don’t allow others to tell them what’s best….

OMG! I just dont understand all of this ignorance! I would especially like to point out Jerome! Are you even listening to what Obama is speaking about, for 1, Education: giving underprivilage childeren an opportunity to get a good education. How does that make him an Uncle Tom? Obama gave up a Wall Street career to help out people like us. Just because he didnt go through what we’ve been through doesnt mean that he doesnt care. Macain dont care about the people. He’s the one who doesnt understand, with all the houses has! He is just a clone of BUSH! he wants to build more nuclear planets and he doesnt even have a plan about the taxes, he just said he will cut them where he can! Come on what kind of plan is that. Anyway, I think that you should do a little bit more research for yourself before you start talking about little things you only got from the media. Also, how is he trying to be a celebrity? Hell, he is running for PRESIDENT! Of course he is going to be all over t.v. and magazines. Just like Macain/Palkin are.l Who is she anyway, just a decoy. Macain is using her anyway, cause she doesnt know anything either, she is going to do everything Macain say because of her lack of experience. But, the last thing I have to say is the the RNC is actually the RENECK NATIONAL CONVENTIONQ!! That’s why there were no other minorities there. Only one black guy I saw and he was with security. That should tell you right there who is with Macain and Palin. The RICH who already has everything and dont give a d@mn about us poor folks!

This is the first time I have voted in years…I am 46 years old; and I know that every vote will put President Obama and Vice President Biden in the White House. I register through BET.COM and I am waiting on my voter registration package in the mail to complete and submit. No, I am not proud of my lack of interest in voting; but I am proud of my knowledge to see the importance of it now….

Kudos for your excellent and accurate post.”Redneck National Convention” hits the nail on the head.pointing out that just because he has not gone through what many others have experienced just may be a bit much for some on these boards too understand.Another point you made Is about Insane McSame not knowing how many houses he has and what folk experience in life;Why the hell should he when he went to his devoted wife while she was recovering from a serious accident too ask for a divorce ? This is the man many people want for President – WOW !!!

I think the American People Need to think long and hard before they vote. There are some issues in the world. And we all better be serious and wake up and realize that the only reason McCain picked this woman was to excite his campaign, because Obama did not pick Hilliary.And of course the Republican Media and his staff has to boost her up,
But nobody can tell me she is more qualified then Condelleza Rice to have be selected as his “Republican Running Mate on the VP Ticket. The VP should be a person who is ready to stand in as “President” Democrate and well as many Republican know she is Not ready for that Position with the world the way it is now. McCain speaks of “Country First” How in the hell is he really thinking of country first, this woman is not ready to lead a Nation of families when she had so many issues going on in her own family to deal with. Her focus will not be all there. She is excited and overly flattered with this nomination but she is no way near ready to be VP. And the media comparsion with her and Obama is ridiculous, Obama is not running for VP. She has no experience in forgein affairs, At least Biden knows the arena. And we all need to think about that All the other problems on the agenda is second. Russia is acting up over there people. And McCain has messed up and that has shown me his lack of ability to make the best decision for this Nation. Democrates do care about out our National Security and our Country I am voting for Change,and it is not with McCain.

I think that we are ready for our first african american president because if not when will we ever be? But lets get something clear right now the fact is that OBAMA IS THE CAHNGE THAT AMERICA NEEDS its not about RACE its about change.
GO OBAMA

Okay my people, who is actually participating in these Gallup Polls.

WE NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE DEMOCRATES! AMERICA IS IN A MESS RIGHT NOW AND WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT. AND IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN YOU NEED TO SWITCH TO DEMOCRATE ON NOV.4 IF THE REPUBLICANS THINK MCCAIN/PALIN ARE WHAT THE AMERICANS NEED THEN…MOVED THEM ALL TO ALASKA AND LET IT BE AN INDEPENDENT STATE RAN BY THOSE TO IDIOTS!!! I BET MCCAIN WILL KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES HE HAS THEN. VOTE DEMOCRATE!! WE GOT TWO IDIOTS AS THE PRES/VP NOW, AND SOME OF US WANT TWO MORE TO TAKE THEIR PLACE.(COME ON NOW!) LET’S STOP USING THE NET TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DO/DON’T LIKE. LET’S START USING OUR BODIES TO DRIVE TO THE POLLS ON NOV.4
AND TAKE A STAND AND VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN TO BE PUT WHERE CHANGE WILL HAPPEN. GOD MADE THIS MOMENT IN TIME HAPPEN FOR A REASON. LET’S NOT SIT ON A BLESSING THAT COULD CHANGE OUR LIVES FOR AT LEAST 4 YEARS AND HOPEFULLY 8 WE KNOW WE WILL HAVE THAT IF THEY GET THERE.

I dont really care about the polls because I wasn’t nor my family and friends wasn’tapart of that poll. We are big OBAMA supporters.The
time that reallymatters is Nov. 2008 and I will be be there!! I hope so many more ofus vote white, black , hisp.,whatever you are because if we have 4 more years ofRep. I dont know America!!!

What I don’t get is…Bush has an approval rating only in the 20th percentile, McCain’s policies are pretty much the same as Bush’s (go look up his issues…if you can find them,seeing as how the GOPs don’t want you to know they are the same), I mean for God sakes, the man even sounds like Bush…literally (for real, listen to him, it’s mind trippin)!!! So I am not understanding why anyone who doesn’t approve of Bush is voting for McCain. It just doesn’t make sense. At the convention, they talked alot about themselves and spit a bunch of lies about Obama, but spoke little to nothing about their issues and how they plan to get America back on track. Why? Because it’s the same bs that got America in the horrible shape it is in today. There plans make is near impossible people to rise out of poverty and/or make it in this world, it’s like what Obama said; YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN!!!!

And let me tell you something…I am a woman, and I can tell you that one of our weak suites is that we hold on to stuff way too long. Bitter is what they sometimes call it. And sometimes it helps us deal, but bitterness=stupidity ladies!!! And voting for someone who doesn’t share your values and issues just because Hillary didn’t get the nod is just plan STUPID!!!!

Please people, DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! Really think hard before you make a decision that could really help…or ruin this country.

Obama/Biden 08

What I think is SO distrubing is that anyone would vote for Palin “cause she is real”. Obviously, you are ignorant! This woman has been lying everything! Bridge to nowhere-she lied, earmarks/lobbyists-she lied, Obama’s record-she lied and insulted every community organizer on this planet!

**Remember Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pointus Pilate was Governor!

To hear people say they can’t relate to Obama because his mother is white! Again ignorace! Here this man went to the south side of Chicago to help AA, passed the wall street jobs to help his own and now some of this own are turning their backs on him and ask you Ignornant AA what has John McCain/Palin done for the AA community!? Oh, was McCain thinking about when he voted against Martin Luther’s King B-day? Oh, was the thinking about you when he was celebrating his b-day on the tarmac with Bush when Katrina hit? Was he thinking about you when he didn’t want to the Gov’t to be investigated for their failure with Katrina?

My how much we hate ourselves!

And to the ignorant women. Was McCain thinking about you when he voted against “early mammogram” detection being covered by insurance companies? Oh was he thinking about you when he voted against “equal pay for equal work”? I could go on for days with him on this one..

Oh! Was the thinking about Hillary when one of his supporters called her a “B” and he just laughed…

And when Sarah Palin said that “Hillary is whining about the primary”…

Being dumb is sad but NO ONE can’t pull the wool over my eyes because I KNOW the facts and people’s record..

SAD to say people’s ignorance will lead to their failures but I will not stand by and watch another friend lose a job cause I was stupid enough to fall for the lies that the republicans tell…

You vote for McCain/Palin and you deserve EVERYTHING that you get with it! Just like this stupid people that voted for BUSH! I’m sorry but I can’t feel sorry for stupidity!

Oh, to the guy that said he couldn’t relate to Obama.

So you can relate to Clarence Thomas? Do you know who that is?

Well, I for one can’t relate to that man and both of this parents are black!

Ignorance so sad!

I can’t beleive there are black women who would be so daft as to actually think they have something in common with Sara Palin. People do your homework! This woman is a racist, could care about working women or helping single mothers. Not only is she anti-choice but even in instances of *$$$ and incest. Ask her how many
adoption centers in Juno. Ask her idf she’s por-death penalty. Don’t be STUPID!

america is at war.the coutry is suffering from natural disasters AND if that not enough, the so call leader of the free world has no health care for its citzens,not enough fund for education thousand of job lost.people wake up, the republican party with john mccain is in power for the last 8yrs with the same old POLITRICKS.HE COMES Obama without the coruption, if a dounce like george bush can be president 2 terms. obama will do a better job.

HELLO PEOPLE OF BET!!!!!!

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT PALIN IS NOT FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR? sHE IS A SELF PROCLAIM REDNECK!!1

dO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS!!! sHE IS FOR HER COLOR ONLY!!

GET IT TOGETHER FOLKS AND CHECK HER BACKGROUND!!!

Ok, what makes a person credible to be president not vice president (PRESIDENT).We been dealing with this government for the last eight years. PALIN IS McCAIN’S vice president why is she getting more press the the original person running for president of the United States of America.McCain and his people knew what they were doing when they choice that Gov.Palin as his vp. it is amazing to me the woman is pick as the repu- blican’s pick as vp and everyone that was democrate turns republican. Well they say if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. Look people you are willing to live under the same anarchy for another for years because of a vp.(WAKE UP)!!! Obama is the change we need for a brighter future for our kids and their kids and so on. Ok made the turn coats are alright with the way the economy is right now .The way rebulican party has ruined this country.Let us not forget 911 when so many people died for really nothing under this same party. No it is time for a change.God knows so many kids have been killed,phsyically and emotionally change for financial gain let’s be real please. I will put it in God’s hand, but in the same breath i will go to the polls on Nov.4th for OBAMA-BIDEN AND U CAN BET THAT. SINCERLY THIS IS GEORGIA SPEAKING

Let me put this is to the light for the who care about what this world is going to be like with McCain as Pres. Truth you said the right key she is afarid of colored people. She’s hardly interacted with them.

Well let me put it this way i will 1 of many American citizens packing our bags and moving to Canadia. Over seas countries don’t like us and they will never like us unless someone totally different is in office. And another thing my phone did not ring asking me who I’m voting for! Did any of yours?
