Were The Candidates Speaking To The NAACP, Or To White Voters?

[standlee5]

But, when he talked about school choice and economic opportunity and conservative alternatives to liberal policies, was McCain really talking to black voters?

Of course he was talking to blacks offering an alternative to the deadend policies that have never worked. Show me the black parent who wouldn''t want to choose a school for their kid. You know the media and the academics are being incredibly patronizing to Americans. For gods sakes they act like blacks are from a frigging nother planet. Someone actually said this on TV," showing the Obama''s with their children was important since most Americans wonder what a black family looks like". I don''t know but I think Obama''s white supporters may live in white only neigborhoods but most of us live and work with many minorities.

Elitism, Thy Name is Cindy McCain



What would the the pundit class say if....

Michelle Obama breezily remarked:
"In Chicago, the only way to get around is by stretch limo."

Or how about if Michelle spun around town in a car with vanity license plates that read: "Ms. Hope?"

We know what would be the result. The accusations of "elitism" and "snobbery" and being "out of touch" would fill the airwaves day and night.

Yet, on CNN Monday, Cindy McCain said: "In Arizona, the only way to get around is by small private plane." She also perkily recalled that she discovered this "fact" was when her husband was first running for Senate and so "I bought one!" We assume she meant a plane, not her husband.

This week, the media also revealed that Cindy has a car with the license plate "Ms.Bud," a reference to her multi-million inheritance from her father''s beer distributorship. No details on the make and model of that car or at which one of the McCains'' SEVEN homes it might be stored.

And speaking of beer, Miss Cindy stands to knock down another million or two from the sale of Anheuser-Busch to Belgium''s Inbev. Of course, that''s just pocket change for Mrs. McCain who once racked up $750,000 in one month on her credit cards.

Yes, the mainstream media, in passing, have mentioned Cindy''s wealthy heiress status, but where is the accompanying feigned outrage we have seen in the coverage of the Obamas? Does any one of the talking heads see a double standard here?

Born Agains are having a h*** of time grappling with the reality that their darling son sold ''em down the river, along with the rest of the country, and severely damaged the finest military in the world - all for the sake of an oil mans checkbook.

Or in this case, an elephant.

Winston Churchill said it best:

If your in your twenties and not a liberal you have no heart. If your in your 40''''s and your not yet a Conservative, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN.

Truer words were never spoken.

Winston Churchill was a diehard royalist. He had no doubt that he and his aristocracy were born to a more noble God than the rest of us "commoners"... Much like the economic royalists that we currently have in the executive branch. As far as coservative or liberal...well, he couldn''t seem to make up his mind. He joined one party, then flipped to the other, then back again. Mostly, he was an opportunist, joining whatever party that would provide him power.
Incidentally, he was also one of the major architects of the mess we now call Iraq, Iran, Kurdistan (remnants) over there.

I see your calling Jesus a hypocrite because he offers you eternal life? He paid your sin debt!

Either that or someone named Jesus was a carpenter 2000+ years ago and your religion has turned itself into a political spin machine ever since.

I don''t suppose it ever occured to you that you are wrong?

No, I didn''t think it had.

The Dems are wrong on this issue and as gas prices rise, it could be Obama''''s downfall this elecion.

There''s no could about it. IT IS going to cost him the election. His numbers have already dropped over the last two weeks. Drilling is the only answer to getting ANY short term releif to gas prices. We can ALSO work on alternative fuels, but that is MUCH more of a long term solution than drilling in ANWR and offshore for our own oil. BHO doesn''t haev the answers and that is why the numbers will continue to drop like they are now.

Jesus said unless a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
