Does the Economy trump Race?
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 03:41 PM by cottonseed
Norah is asking this question now. I think I know why I don't like the sound of this. Anyone else feel the same?

Is she saying we should be voting on race?
Is she saying Obama wouldn't have one without this?
What is she saying?

2. She's implying that "race" is being overlooked because people are more worried about the economy.
See, ... you have to understand

McCain was counting on people focusing on race in the final 30 days and he's suddenly realizing .... nobody is playing along.

3. I think if anything will force people to overlook their bigotry, it will be their wallets.
People are stupid and shallow. People are self centered and self serving. They fear those who don't look the same as they do.

But they love their money.

I expect this is causing a few people to take pause and rethink their stance.

4. If you don't want just another republicon in the White House
to continue doing more of the same and finish eating up our economy.

OBAMA is our only hope.

6. McCain is trying to make this election about race
rather than the economy, and the scumbag MSM is at least partially going along.

7. No, because racists are told what to think.
If you're stupid enough to be racist, you're stupid enough to believe that the Democratic party is responsible for the economic disaster of the last eight years.
