INTERVIEW: Black legislator: Racial issues in US vote are "boring" this wire

Nice talk Eleanor.Oct 31st, 2008 - 15:02:54

Obama still has had the last 17 years of ''Hate Whitey'' pounded into his head. He still has known terrorists in his life, and known criminals. He's a bad bad man. McCain on the other hand is a VERY bad bad man. Take your pick America or do the real American thing; write another name in for President.

''We know he's black. He knows he's black. That's all that matters to us.''


Sigh... what is not 'racist' about this?


SHOULDN'T HIS QUALIFICATIONS MATTER YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Eleanor Holmes, do you want the first black president to be an unmitigated screw up with 143 days of experience in the senate and a trail of failures leading up to that? Kind of a good recipe for making sure he is the LAST lack president for a looooong time?

'In the interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa (sig heil) on Thursday, Norton said Obama's ethnicity should mean no more to African Americans than John F Kennedy's did to Irish Catholics'

In other words, pretty much everything.

Area gun owners stocking up before election, shops say

A number of Armstrong County gun owners apparently agree with the The National Rifle Association's position: Barack Obama is '...the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history.' With that thought in mind, many gun owners are 'stocking up' on guns and ammo in anticipation of gun bans should Obama win the presidential election next Tuesday.

Brian Balentine, and employee of Gone For a Day sporting goods and gun shop, Main Street, Elderton, said AR-15 rifles, a semi-automatic version of the military M-16, handguns and home defense shotguns are being bought by some customers.

'Many customers talk about it (an Obama presidency) more and more,' Balentine said. 'They are worried about the long-term effects if he (Obama) is elected. They are worried that there will be stricter gun laws or maybe a total gun ban.'

Harvey Wingard of Harvey Wingard Guns, 200 Queen St., Kittanning, said that he noticed more women buying guns.

'From what a lot of people are saying that if they don't have what they want now, they won't be able to get it if Obama is elected,' Wingard said. 'Several women have bought guns and some people are stocking up on ammunition. There are several first-time gun buyers who've said they are buying at least one gun now, usually a handgun, because they fear that if Obama wins the election handguns will be banned.'

Wingard said that many people expressed their willingness to hide guns in the event of a nationwide registration or confiscation program. He said many people he knows believe that a gun confiscation program is in the offing if the Democrats win.
