Take a gander at the Republican VP.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-

We're all socialists now, anyway.

While Obama Waffles takes aim at Obama's politics by poking fun at his public remarks and positions on issues, it also plays off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.

Placing Obama in Arab-like headdress recalls the false rumor that he is a follower of Islam, though he is actually a Christian.

I wonder how conservatives would feel if McCain was on a Metamucil bottle or in a napkin add for old people. McCainDribble.com

Just goes to show, democrat philosophy will bankrupt the country if given the chance. You never hear republicans accused of being socialists.

Obama waffles? Give us a break aussie. So there are some idiot "activists" making asses of themselves. Do you want me to regurgitate the slams against Palin that are ten times worse, being pumped out by the hour by "reputable" news outlets? I don't think this forum provided enough bandwidth.

Mullah James Dobson. Yeah, right.

Oh, there are mullahs out there in this country. Reverend Wright's buddy Calypso Louie, for example.

Even Elizabeth the conservative voice on "The View" thought it was racist and it takes a lot for her to say that. Making someone darker or more sinister in an ad is not dealing with the issues. Talking about McCain's age could be an issue. I am not as old as he is and am aware of my limitations. Its the time to slow down. He wants to take a job that will be 24/7. by the way McCain was one who push for more deregulation (get the Gov off our backs) and now commentators are calling for more regulation.

All this goes to show, at the end of the day, is that the race card is all the Democrats actually have this election. Their candidate is an empty suit, the VP is a status quo big government liberal who's been in office almost as long as I've been alive, and they actually believe all they have to do as Obama slips in the polls is shout "Racism!" and hope somebody is still paying attention to this desperate ploy, a ploy one would think the American public has long ago grown weary of.

I wonder, what is more racist, to oppose Obama, or to believe that any opposition to him is, by definition, racist?

Well, it's a Republican President wanting $700 BILLION to bail out Ivy League idiots who were enriching themselves via the sub-prime mortgage scandals. However, on the flipside, it's a bunch a want-more-than-they-can-have assholes who were getting into variable rate loans in the first place knowing damn well they'd default on the loan in five years.

Ridiculous.

I think the bailout amounts to about $8,800 per person in the US. Now THAT is horse crap.

And yes, I do understand the impetus and economics behind it. I'm just reiterating the notion that our government has fo' all intents and purposes a socialist one now, in one giant step, with no pretenses. Sigh... Feck... $8,800 per person. I hope those collar poppin', deck shoes wearing assholes enjoy their Martha Vineyard getaways... It is, after, on our dime. “F”.

I've already written every one of my state reps. I am against the bailout, but I know it's getting passed anyway. Feeeeeck!

Well, the only ones that believe that crap are the most racist people on earth: Modern Day Liberals.

They're the ones focused on color. They're the ones race-baiting. They're the ones creating a special class of people based on color. They're the ones that belittle and nanny African-Americans, forever keeping them subordinated to the teat of government.

White Liberals are probably the most racist people I have ever known. And sexist. And bigoted. It's obvious to me that they feel so guilty about their own bigotry that they're attempting to compensate for it. Most people don't feel that way because we live next to black people, Mexican people, Asian people, and don't care. We drive on with what works for us. They don't live with the "diversity" that they crave for eveyrone else. They're full of crap, and they try to implement policy that assuages their guilt.

Until Chong-gay disenrolls from the university of Utah and ingresses in Southern he's full of crap. Until White Democrats disenroll their kids from private schools and place their children into all-black or all-minority inner city schools they're full of crap. Until they move away from their little "ivory" towers and buy a house in a black neighborhood they're full of crap. They are. They do NOT have the right to tell me what's so wonderful about the diversity they're so damned scared of living...

As long as its understood that what McCain is really doing is bailing out government, as government is at the root of this entire mess. It was government that created all of the incentives and economic dynamics that created the sub-prime meltdown, not the private economy, and not capitalism.

The state had no business being in house lending business in the first place. Freddie Mac and Fannie May weren't even required to follow the same financial rules and disciplines as private lenders. They were destined to fail when the people the gave loans to inevitably defaulted.

Freddie and Fannie were vote buying schemes from the beginning, not economically sound policy.
