For those who still can''t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

White privilege is when you can call yourself a "***'' redneck," like Bristol Palin''''s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you''ll "kick their ***'' ***," and talk about how you like to "shoot ***" for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

I agree, Really nice post!

According to all Political Consultants from the left and right, the V.P. nominee never matters on election day. If it did matter, the 1st Bush Senior would never become president with V.P. Dan Quayle.

So, good-bye Sarah Palin forever.

Wow. I didn''t see the rally but I just assumed all Alaskans were neo-cons the way the media has portrayed things lately.

Thanks for the info!

After this economic meltdown and according to political history, Democrats will win across Congress for a solid Super Majority.

It is my honor and pleasure to officially declare Senator Barrack Obama the President Elect of the United States of America.

President Bush has been the greatest president ever for the Democratic Party. Thank you Bush because no Democrat could not done it better for the Democratic Party.

McBush and Palin are not equipped to deal with the economy. McBush''s advisor is Phil Gramm, the genius behind the current de-regulatory meltdown nightmare. McBush favors the "trickle-down" mentality for everybody earning less than $200,000 per year. He wants more tax breaks for big companies and less tax on multi-millionaires while the rest of us foot the bill for bailouts, CEO pay packages, and the occupation in Iraq. Palin would spend too much time as VP trying to get revenge on her enemies and promoting evangelical crusades, just like Bush. McBush is joined at the hip with lobbyists who helped create the debacle. If you really like what''s happened in the last 8 years, vote for the GOP and hope that the rest of the nation''s dimwits follow suit. If you want a reality-based administration that actually likes prosperity for the middle class and favors science and facts, vote for Obama and Biden.

mr22581.............Obama moved more than 2 points. He moved 7 points! McCain had a 5 point lead now he is down 2.

------------------

"Obama wiped out McCain''s 5-point edge in a Reuters/Zogby poll taken in August before the nominating conventions, a sign the Arizona senator could be drifting back to earth from what other opinion polls showed was a post-convention surge."

[lovegetpeace]

In 2000, the Republicans nominated Bush because Bush was better than McCain.

Bush is now officially the worst president ever in American modern history.

Therefore, McCain, if elected, would be worst than Bush according to the Republicans.

[concorde5]

If Obama is Dumb, What does that make Palin? Mentally retarded?

[concorde5]

Only republicans are dumb enough to blindly follow a retarded president over a cliff.

[yeswecan09]

If you are young and a liberal you have a heart
If you are old an a liberal you have no brains.

********

***! I broke the rules -- liberal democrate with a masters degree, 5 different certifications and aiming for a PhD.

I was always the rebel.

[concorde5]

John42381.....Then There will be a lot of happy old liberals with no brains come november because Obama will be our next president!

[concorde5]

A few years ago I read a study that determined the dumber you are the more likely you are republican.

Those with Post-Graduate degrees were the least likely to be republican, followed by those with bachelors degrees.

The most likely to be republican were those who didn''t finish high school.

Only the brain-dead or really dumb would support more neo-con mess.

(CBS) Nearly half of registered voters say "the economy and jobs" is the most important issue in their decision about whom to support for president, a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds.
*****************************************

Will, I would suggest that if you want more of the same, vote for McCain.

The first time Obama opened he mouth I knew he was dumb as dirt.He will not get my vote. by mr22581

Obama may be a number of things but Dumb is not one them :)

"THEY''''LL have to live with those regrets the rest of their lives, knowing THEY contributed to the decline of the United States! "

-------------
You are absolutely correct! Those who voted for this administration twice are just as responsible for the mess we are in.

I knew bush was an incompetent idiot the first time he opened his mouth. That''s why I never voted for him, I could tell he was dumber than dirt.

Now he has proven that without a shaddow of a doubt.

[stn_sage]

I think it would a scream to have someone as totally inexperienced and clueless like Sarah Palin leading the nations economy and military! I love good comedy so part of me leans for McCain/Palin, but the other part of me thinks I should vote for what''''s best for the country,

I hope you satisfy this dilemma you''re in, in such a way that you have no long term regrets!

I know a LOT of people voted for Bush hoping for the best and he let them down! Then, they voted for him a second time thinking the first four years was just an anomaly and he let them down again! And now THEY''LL have to live with those regrets the rest of their lives, knowing THEY contributed to the decline of the United States!

[cold70]
