This Election?

Question

im tired of seeing discrimination against age. im tired of seeing discrimiantion against race. im tired of seeing discrimination against religion. im tired of seeing discrimination against gender. im tired of discrimination and prejudices. this elecion is the most exciting. the most memorable. but really all these prejudices are jsut tearing down people's spirit. why can't people talk about the issues? doesn't anyone care about this country? doesn't anyone care about solving this country's problems? or is making sure we have a white president or a young president or a male president maybe, jsut maybe, if we all let go of these barriers that we hold so high, we could solve these problems that we feel are impossible and inevitable. we could prevent tragedies and disasters. why can't the people just stop spreading hate and start focusing on the issues? why is everyone acting so immature and ridiculous? will no one grow up?

Obama 08!

Answer 1

So you're tired of "discrimiantion against race" and want people to "stop spreading hate", but you're voting for a bigot who attended a racist church for 20 years?

That says it all.

Answer 2

This election is about what happens starting in January of 2009 to the American wage-earner. What happens to the 95% of us who tote the barges and lift the bales....sometimes called the 'working class'? The issues are clear. Do we continue to borrow a million dollars a minute to continue two wars with no natural stopping place until there is no more money to borrow? Do we continue to allow the oil producers of the world to hold us hostage to 19th century technology....a technology, along with coal that will continue to fill our paper thin atmosphere with CO2 to the point of destruction? Do we allow unlimited and and answered climate change to effect this country in ways that we can't know and once established cannot be reversed? Do we allow the 'Christian right' to impose their anti-science and reason ideas on a secular society in a way that only differs in degree from the muslim extermists of the middle east? Do we allow our physical infrasturcture to decay to the point of third world conditions....our roads, bridges, water and sewer sytems, ports and electrical grid are already failing. Do we allow that to continue? Do we continue to deny the American wage-earner access to affordable health insurance? Do we continue to increase without end the cost of a university education to the point where hardly a working man or women could ever aspire to put a child through college? These are the issues, and all the swift-boating, disinformation, propaganda, flag waving and cross shaking won't make these issues vanish. What will vanish is the great American middle class.....'a bold yeomanry/their nation's pride/when once destroyed/can never be supplied! Something to think about...no kiddin'!
