I don't think either of them have a chance on that alone. I opted for the hunting magazine (I forget the name... It's right on the cover, you'd think I''d remember ) when I joined. According to it, there are 14 million active hunters in the US (that's not counting target shooters, or people who havn't hunted in the past year). Of the hunters I know most are, oddly enough, democrats. I can't see a hunter giving up their guns. That's not really scientific, but lets say half of hunters are democrats... that's a huge number of democrats voting for McCain just on one issue.

EDIT: The name of the magazine is "American Hunter", and I was mistaken, there are 12.5 million active hunters. I don't know where I got 14.

Not sure what happened, but looks like this is the new Presidential poll! On a side note, I saw Bill Clinton talk in my town a few days ago.

So has anybody heard about Rev. Wright's sermon? In case you didn't know, he was the pastor at Obama's church. Anyway, here it is.

Quote:
“And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent, she failed. She put them on reservations.”

“When it came to putting her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in interment prison camps.”

“When it came to putting the citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters. Put them on auction blocks. Put them in cotton fields. Put them in inferior schools. Put them in substandard housing. Put them scientific experiments. Put them in the lower paying jobs. Put them outside the equal protection of the law. Kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education, and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.”

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. Naw, naw, naw. Not God Bless America. God Damn America! That’s in the Bible. For killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme.”

“The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent. Think about this. Think about this. For every one Oprah, a billionaire, you’ve got 5 million blacks that are out of work. For every one Colin Powell, a millionaire, you’ve got 10 million blacks who cannot read. For every one Condi-Skeezer Rice, you’ve got 1 million in prison. For every one Tiger Woods, who needs to get beat at the Masters, with his Cablanasian hips, playing on a course that discriminates against women, God has this way of brining you up short when you get to big for your Cablanasian britches. For every one Tiger Woods, we’ve got 10,000 black kids who will never see a golf course. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent.”

“Tell your neighbor he’s (going to) help us one last time. Turn back and say forgive him for the God Damn, that’s in the Bible though. Blessings and curses is in the Bible. It’s in the Bible.

“Where government fail, God never fails. When God says it, it’s done. God never fails. When God wills it, you better get out the way, cause God never fails. When God fixes it, oh believe me it’s fixed. God never fails. Somebody right now, you think you can’t make it, but I want you to know that you are more than a conqueror through Christ. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.”

“The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”
I think Mad Magazine put it best, "Colin Powell and Condaliza Rice are shameless sellouts to their race unlike...oh lets say the Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?"

I'm sorry but this right here is one reason a whole lot of white folks won't vote for a black. They're afraid they'll get in there and their little man syndrome will kick in. You have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson running around trying to be the voice of all black people and now this. Oh yeah they'll say, "America is just racist, that's why a black can't get into office!" No, even though some people still are, your radical bull shit keeps everyday people from trusting you.

I didn't like Obama anyway but this is just aweful. Sure he's distancing himself but he was there for 20 years listening to that crap.

Poor Martin Luther King Jr. is obviously spinning in his grave.

Re: AF U.S Presidential Poll! (Pt. 2)

I have already read that speech. Like I said before, I would be tempted to leave if Obama hits office. He is nothing short of a nut case. I would rather almost have Clinton (eww that sounds bad) as a president than that delusional nut.

You realise those are Rev. Wright's words, not Obama's, right?

I think the following article is a very penetrating look at what the illusion of choice brings us: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/am...053652281.html

Re: AF U.S Presidential Poll! (Pt. 2)

Despite his stance on Iraq (we can't just leave), I favored Paul. Though I doubt he could've implemented all of his policies, his pledge to reduce the size of our bloated Federal government was dead-on.

I'm no fan of McCain, but nothing could be worse for our country than Obama. He'll raise taxes on the upper-income brackets and corporations (great idea in a struggling economy) to pay for his socialistic policies. These taxes will be paid by the consumer, mainly (little guy gets the shaft, again, lol). As the economy slows down and more companies move offshore to avoid taxes, revenue falls off. Then, we have an even bigger government operating in the red.

Besides, Obama approves of the Patriot Act, "war on terror", and immunity for communications companies that Bush wanted. In other words, he's Bush with a tan.
