are there any more important issue about this election besides the color of a mans skin?

[Melia]

absolutely.all of those issues that you listed and so many more are concerns to only the intelligent and informed americans.the color of a man's skin is only important to the ignorant, the unintelligent, the bigot, the racist and the simple-minded.

In Obama's case, probably not.Maybe thats because I am an Angry Middle Age White Man. Or it could be, I just don't like the guy. My opinion, my vote.

[melisaa]

What is important is what a man or woman thinks and really believes in his heart.Obama is a FALSE Christian as clearly evidenced in this video below.

This is one of the reasons why I'll never vote for a Clinton in my life time. They have distracted and distorted so much with petty non-issues so that we, the public are at lost.Like what you suggest, the Iraq war, the downfall of the economy, and overall low health-care provided do not get enough of emphasis as they should. If Hillary were so superior on those significant issues, how come she is injecting the race, the gender, the ethnicity, and the victim cards every single turn?Very Simple! She does not have any poofs of her fictitious claims on policies and accomplishment both foreign and domestic. That's why she is spinning our heads into amnesia with non-issues.

And they say the media is liberal. Where the hell did they get that idea from. If the media were liberal, would it disseminate that notion? Nope. That comes from neocon central. The same neocon central that's blinding the easily blinded into thinking this whole deal is about a skiiny black man and his pastor, or his religion, or his mama...as opposed to an economy in freefall and the war that helped it happen.Oh yeah...and what's this about health care as a lottery prize?Yeah, things are going great. It's all about some idiot Christian.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7321500.stm

Obama has made it about race focus on Hillary instead she's about solutions for these issuesObama exaggerates and outright lies and just now the media is finally calling him on it? It's ridiculous.By the way Hillary hasn't brought out the issue of race, Obama has and the repubs with the Rev. wright issue This will be a big problem come November no doubtRev. Wright has brought the ethnic issues in by his anti-Semitic , anti- American remarks, calling Italians garlic noses? No matter what the 'polls" are saying people are talking about it.we can go on and on

[melishas]

I think that they both agree on the issues, perhaps they disagree on how to correct them. But the real prejudice is not in skin color it is in sex, because white men simply cannot stomach the idea of a woman leading this country. After all, she is the more experienced of the two, and to deny that is to be fooling yourself.

[melbac]

The Republicans are trying as hard as they can to make the election all about Obama's race. Obama carefully avoided any mention of race for a long time because he knew the minute he broke the subject the Republicans would accuse him of 'playing the race card', asking you to vote for him just because he was black. After his minister made some imprudent remarks about race, Obama made the most intelligent and honest speech about race I have ever seen in an American election. The Republicans now call him a 'racist'.The Republicans have instigated, encouraged and exploited every kind of intolerance in America--not just racism but sexism, homophobia, nativism and xenophobia, and even religious intolerance. It's just how they work--divide and conquer. In doing so, they bring out the very worst in Americans.And beside, in this election they don't have a lot more go to on. The actual issues all favor the Democrats. So they have to focus on Obama's race (and call him a Muslim) and on Hillary's gender.

[melisaa]

Yes, Obama and Clinton want to cut and run from the warHealth, they want ruin America's great health care system by letting the government take it overSocial Security is NOT a problem (according to Greenspan) It won't take a genius to fix it, that is why its on the back burnerReal estate fix is already in the making and by the time the next President takes office, it will no longer be on the tableEmployment is this country is better than it ever has been, we all remember the Carter days of double digit inflation and the unemployment. Electing a democrat will only bring those days back to us.As for skin color, obviously not an issue, if it was, Obama would not have such strong support. So stop trying to make it an issue, the only one who has so far is Obama and his racist pastor wright.

[melchewvin]

Yes it is.One of the most important issues to me will be the Socialist agendas being pushed by Obama and Hilliary.If passed you can count on a 50% tax rate and more people looking for handouts.Motivation and incentive will become a thing of the past,why work OT and extra to get ahead when all of your earnings will go to help Africa and welfare patrons who live on the system.But hey I guess I am an elitist,I don't want to give most of my earnings away in taxes.I believe in a hand up not a handout.Job training should be number one in the welfare system,not just an after thought.Why can illegals get jobs in this country when we have so many on welfare? Are the jobs not worth doing because they make more on welfare at home?
