Why do I get called a white trash raciest because I answer that I am voting for McCain?

Question

I recently answered a question that I have changed my mind from voting for Chuck Baldwin to voting for McCain because he added Palin to his ticket. I have liked Palin since February when I saw her on Glenn Beck. I have gotten some responses via e-mail because of that and I don't understand why? I have no problem with Obama as a person, I just don't support his views. I lean more toward the Conservative side. I am not a Rep., I am listed as other.

Answer 1

don't take it personally... get some sleep

Answer 2

because a lot of liberals hate ,I mean Hate anyone who disagrees with them. their mind works like a machine that can't understand another point of view.don't take it personal. You are just using sound judgment to make a decision. They just don't understand.

Answer 3

Because the persons emotions have gotten the better of them. Politics does arouse strong emotions. But also because they have lost or never had the ability to debate and can't find a rational objection to your statements. Or they are too mentally lazy to do so. This is always true of someone who resorts to personal attack, I hope you don't let it get to you.

This type of behaviour though is not restricted to any one particular political affilliation, witness some of the comments here.

Because of the lack of respect for the persons views who differ from your own, personal or generalized personal attack is fundamentally antidemocratic and therefore antiAmerican.

Answer 4

Good for you for being your own person and voting your conscience.  Just ignore those that put you down.

Answer 5

I don't know why you get called a white trash racist? Are you one, or do you put yourself in the context of being mistaken for one. Everything is perception, and the eye of the beholder is what makes truth in America.  

Answer 6

Because that is the way liberals think.

Answer 7

Don't listen to what blacks say...they are dumb animals.  I know, I live in the DC area...it is a dump.

Answer 8

Because Liberals 'believe', Conservatives 'think'

Liberals can not argue with facts and figures.

(unless the facts & figures they quote are false)

So they just resort to the infantile process of calling names.

This is one way to explain the Liberal Mind.

It IS racist to vote AGANST Obama, WHO is black.

However:

It is NOT racist to to vote FOR Obama BECAUSE he is black.

"My name is Barack Hussein Obama, and I BLESS this message."

Answer 9

People call you a "white trash racist" because they themselves are white trash racists, so they just assume that you have the same mindframe.

Answer 10

If only one person called you that, ignore it. They're just trying to get a rise out of you (and they did or you'd not be asking this question).

By the way, it's a little bit shallow to change your mind about voting for someone just because of who they've picked as a running mate.

Answer 11

Break on through....to the OTHER SIDE!!!!!

Yeah listen to dipsh*t above...with any luck he'll get his a.s.s. kicked on his way home.

Answer 12

You and just about every other McCain supporter! Thats all the libs know how to do is call us racist just because we don't support "the great one" (Obama). Personally, I find it amusing when they accuse me of this because it only makes them look more pathetic.

Answer 13

i don't know why that happened.  maybe you should pose the question to the person that called you that.

Answer 14

Only because it is Politics. People get very defensive when you dont agree with their views or candidate. I never really noticed till this election how nasty politics get. But keep your head high and make the right decision for yourself. Your the only person you need to worry about. MCCAIN/PALIN 08 wooo hoooo
