There are many white folks who have CROSSED party lines because they are making an educated decision to look at issues, what each candidate will bring, and examine other factors. It's very insulting to people of color to basically say that they are not capable of making analytical decisions unlike white people. WTF It's amazing how quickly people are turning on Colin Powell... he even EXPLAINED his rationale and people STILL are dismissing his experience, expertise, and research and reducing him to a "basic black man who only supports black people." WTF

It was originally attributed to a UC Santa Cruz professor . This one on Neil Youngs cites a different attribution. Snopes lists it as undetermined. even dailyKos took it off their website - I don't buy it

Also why have there never been any Eye-talian presidents? I feel so underrepresented.

The content of ones character has ZERO bearing on their decision. Unfortunately, I believe this election has pushed the improvement made in race relations back 60 years. But, it's also funny how as soon as an African American leaves the Liberal, "Pay me now!" plantation, they're labelled an Uncle Tom.

Actually it's the conservatives that are throwing around the "r-word" (let's be adults- RACE) moreso than libs. Classic republican sleight of hand... bring up a concept then when someone disputes, calls it out, explains, etc. then there's accusations that those "libs" brought it up. This is just like the "Joe the Plumber" fiasco... McCain beats it into the heads of America and now the conserves and Joe himself are accusing the "libs" of exploiting him.

I have liked Obama a lot more than McCain during the debates etc. but there were still some lingerging doubts about Obama in general for me based on his level of experience. However, Powell's approval of Obama and faith in his leadership abilities as commander in chief makes me feel 100% sure of my vote. This is one of the most intelligent posts I have read (other than of course my own!!!) to read this I find comfort. I appreciate that you made a decision and found wisdom from someone whom you respect and I would say this if you made McCain the choice for you.. it shows you can consider information on your own, make decisions based on that information which can be instinct, fact seeking and others opinions who come from an intellectual or emotional place that resonates with you. It reflects calmness and rationale which often party lines don't allow... and finding someone who may even be different than you on many fronts but still have intelligence that you admire that helps you make conscious decisions.. here here!!! .. you deserve a reward. That reward please leave sucks..

One presidential candidate is calling the other one a terrorist. One presidential candidate picked an unqualified person as VP solely to try to win votes, best interests of the country be damned. One presidential candidate will do ANYTHING to win this election. One presidential candidate is inciting crowds to violence.

I just read on another board the person who supposedly written this account denied it and said they had never been to that island: Email from the purported writer I have received thousands of emails and phone calls about the Turtle Island account. I spend many hours every day replying but still can't keep up. I did NOT write that account (or any version of it, since I gather there are different ones circulating), forward it under my name, or ask for it to be widely distributed. I have never been to Turtle Island (which costs $2000/day), have never met Senator McCain, was a classics major (not an English Literature major), and don't like pancakes. When I received it three weeks ago the author was identified as Ana (Anasuya) Dubey, a psychologist in San Francisco. But she was not the sender of the email. I forwarded the account, with full email trail information and the name of the purported author, to three friends with whom I discuss politics. It was further forwarded, and at some point I was identified as the author or as making the story public on behalf of Ms. Dubey. I suspect whoever did this thought that my name and contact information would make the story more credible. I regret any misinformation which is circulating. This is NOT an organized effort on the part of any political candidate. The account is not necessarily false. I have spoken to several people who know Ms. Dubey and vouch for its truth. Snopes is investigating and lists its current status as "undetermined." I have just today heard that Ms. Dubey is working with a reporter to substantiate her account. Until the actual author comes forward, however, we will not know whether the account is valid. I hope you will pass this information on to anyone interested in this story. Mary-Kay Gamel Professor of Classics, Comparative Literature, and Theater Arts Cowell College University of California, Santa Cruz Santa Cruz, California 95064 In a postscript, she recommends an article on McCain that recently appeared in Rolling Stone. if you look on the snopes page they note the real author. http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/vacation.asp and it also notes that MSM entitys are following up and gathering evidence which corroborates it. This blog http://www.tellingthought...cs/my-holiday-with-mccain Has an extensive trail about why it was originally attributed to Mary Kay Gamel. Might be a hoax, we'll see. But if it's not it's a blockbuster.

As they rightly should based on the rhetoric and race-baiting that the McCainiacs are partaking in. If they don't want to be called racist, they should stop acting like one. Pretty simple, don't you think?

Good luck Barak... you're going to need it. Four years from now this country will still be in the shitter and blame you for lying to us for thinking that you are the fucking messiah that can "save" us and give us "change" and shit.
