What if McCain actually wins??

Re: What if McCain actually wins??

Well, I live in St. Louis, one of the cities mentioned in this post. Moreover, I live in a integrated neighborhood in the heart of the City, and I don't look across a body of water to see black people, I look across the street -- and yet, it hadn't even occurred to me that I would need to be fearful in the event Obama lost.

edit: ...and for what it's worth, I'm not calling you a racist -- I reserve that sort of label for shosh -- just pointing out that your reasoning on this point is based upon an outdated and antiquated mindset...

Well I live in a diverse city of windsor where we have Arabs, Orientals, Whites, and blacks. I don't have to look across the border to see them. Thanks for that remark though. You see living in Canada gives me a much better perspective on this since we are much more diverse then your country (this wasn't a question it is a fact). As far as outdated we will see what will happen in the future. Also getting back to what I was discussing with speciale I think was is it a possibility??? Do you feel it is a possibility??? Anybody answer this?

Also Chloe you said it yourself that politicians will say anything to get elected.

same here. we're actually minorities in stlouis, white people, and the thought of "what is going to happen if obama loses" never crossed my mind. I think living in a city like this makes people from all races much more tolerant of each other. i dig it.

Re: What if McCain actually wins??

i am voting for him yes because i do not want mccain palin,

Most people are voting like this. I am doing the same but the other way around. I am voting for McCain because I dont want obama. I hope one day in my lifetime, there will be a candidate I can I vote for because I actually believe in him/her.

Yes. What makes Canada more diverse than the USA, which is a melting pot of every culture.

Re: What if McCain actually wins??

true that J. America -- the melting pot of the world, or even a salad (?)

either way Canada just leeches off of it's system of cultural wealth etc. imo.

Re: What if McCain actually wins??

I haven't heard Obama say anything about undoing Bush's policies such as the Patriot Act 1 and 2. So I don't really see the difference between Obama and Bush.

As if he could utter even a suggestion that he was in favor of repealing these during this election, without the fear of what the right wing would turn that into. I mean jeez, it's called the PATRIOT Act. By default, you obviously cannot be a true patriot if you don't support it! McCain would have that crazy jingoist sentiment that Bush worked so well whipped up in one media cycle.

One of my greatest hopes is that when Obama speaks of "undoing the mistakes of the last eight years", he secretly specifically means things like the Patriot Act, and all the other baby steps we've taken towards becoming a modern police state. I'm also looking forward to seeing him work with senators like Russ Feingold and Al Franken (cross my fingers), who are both openly critical of the Patriot Act.

goes to show what you know. So you even know what the Patriot Act is and what "PATRIOT" stands for. Here you go.

Is was carefully crafted so it spells out Patriot so yuppies like yourself get caught up in the wording.
