So what if it is? Should I shed some tears?

If you were the least bit intelligent, sure.

It all went downhill with the selection of Biden. Obama jumped the shark by selecting someone completely against his campaign's message.

1. What does that have to do with racism?

2. Bullshit. Biden's been on the same side, and the right side of most issues with Obama, and his real experience is a fine compliment to Obama's intellect.

Your idea of "downhill" is exactly what this nation needs.

Huh? Obama made the safe and smart pick. Biden may not have the media spotlight like Palin but he's not getting shredded like she is either.

Your 'point' was debunked a few posts ago and in other threads.

I'm not following you here. First, you're off topic to the thread. Second, Obama got a nice bump in the polls after picking Biden and the convention. That was followed by McCain getting his VP and convention bump. Now the polls are leveling off as we head into debate season. Third, Biden wouldn't have been my first choice for VP, but he is anything but 'someone completely against his campaign's message.'

The choice of Biden goes against the *change* message since Biden is one of the longest serving Washington insiders.

Yet another your shallow analyses.

And back to the same question I asked CanOWorms. WTF does that have to do with the subject of racisim?

Don't forget the racists that are only voting for Obama because of the color of his skin.

Well because of the color of his skin the likely hood of him getting melanoma and dying mid term passing the Presidency to some confused Creationist is rather small

It has nothing to do with racism. It has everything to do with the accusation of racism. Things just went downhill with Biden's selection. People need to blame something else rather than Biden being picked. Cafferty claims that it doesn't make sense because McCain is a part of Washington. That's just like Biden. Obama linked himself to that via Biden.

2. Bullshit. Biden's been on the same side, and the right side of most issues with Obama, and his real experience is a fine compliment to Obama's intellect.

Bullshit. He goes against Obama's message of change. Obama dismantled his campaign message.

Your idea of "downhill" is exactly what this nation needs.

4 years of Palin (after great-grandpa McCain croaks) is what this nation needs?

I have no idea what you're talking about. Other than his venture into occasional verbal gaffs, by almost any measure, Biden's a brilliant choice.

NO! The thought of four years of a fundy nut case a heartbeat away from the old man's Presidency is enough to make me puke.

1. Nothing, don't you know that CanOWorms only believes that ALL Europeans and NO Americans are racist?

2. I don't know shiet about Biden.

The ?Bubba vote? and underlying racism will hurt Democrat Barack Obama in key battleground states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, former House majority leader Dick Armey said Wednesday.

?The Bubba vote is there, and it?s very real, and it is everywhere,? Armey told USA TODAY and Gannett News Service. ?There?s an awful lot of people in America, bless their heart, who simply are not emotionally prepared to vote for a black man.

That is because you're stupid.

You think not voting for someone because they are "Muslim" is racist?

Per definition it wouldn't be racist to vote for a Muslim, you'll have to forgive me, i'm tired, but a bigot is a bigot is a bitot, i really don't give a fuck if it's race, religion, sex or wheatever you want, it's still bigotry and it's still stupid.

You'd think we had passed that kind of bigotry in todays modern world but you know as well as i do that it's mideival texts that are holding us back and that is just fucking sad.

No. That would be religious bigotry, which is just as stupid.

Do you see any "Muslims" running for President in this election? :confused:

Correct, if incomplete. Johnson surmised he'd lose the south for the dems if he pressed the civil rights issue, and he did. So all those racist southern democrats switched to the republican party, and there they sit to this very day, 50 years later.
It is not that simple.

1. The Republicans never said "vote for us because we are racist too" they said vote for us because we share your conservative Christian values.

2. The Republicans 'lock' on the south was only in the Presidential race for years.

3. Despite the so called "southern strategy" and they supposed appeal to racist white voters the Democrat party still had a majority of state legislators and governors well into the 80s and 90s.

Example post reconstruction governors:
Georgia first Republican governor was Sonny Perdue who was elected in 2003!!!
Alabama first Republican was elected in 1987.
Mississippi first Republican was elected in 1992.
South Carolina 1975.
North Carolina 1973.

After Johnson won in '64, the Dems lost the south as a block in every presidential election like clockwork, except for Carter in 76, and Clinton picked up only one southern state each time he ran.
They lost the south because they ran a bunch of northern liberals!!!!

Look at their candidates:
68 Humphrey Minnesota
72 McGovern South Dakota
76 Carter who won
80 Carter lost
84 Mondale Minnesota
88 Dukakis Massachesetts
92+96 Clinton who actually won 6 southern states both times.
2000 Gore who couldn't win his own home state
2004 Kerry of Massachesetts
2008 Obama of Illinois

Perhaps you fail to understand that southern Democrats are very conservative compared to northern Democrats. Many of them are pro-life, pro-guns and highly religious. That is why so many of then jumped to the Republican Party.
