All human beings want to be proud of their heritage and it is that pride that creates this foolish conflict. One race declares pride and another says you can't have your pride because it comes at the expense of my pride. Example: A black man tells a white man your pride is false and hypocritical because of the way your "ghosts" treated my "ghosts." Your pride is devil like. And a great deal of guilt comes because of "ghosts." The white man tells the black man not only were your "ghosts" weak enough to become enslaved but also lacked the strength to free themselves. And in that you will forever be oppressed because that is the way your "ghosts" have chosen, hence you don't deserve pride either. It is complete and utter foolishness to think any race alone can gain pride in history ("ghosts.") History brings too much shame to all races. Pride is only meant for individual accomplishments and most definitely not meant for gloating. It seems that racism will always be with us. The human spirit craves pride and achieves it by comparing and contrasting itself to other things. So don't fight against it rather make it stronger. Make it human racism. It already exists, but, among foolish people, lacks the appropriate enemy to contrast against. Unless of course you are similar to me and see it in the fundamental Judeo-Christian-Muslim beliefs. Perhaps we shouldn't be so fearful of reading a little Nietzsche. But I'll warn you as he himself did. He did leave "snares for careless birds" as life itself obviously has. In regard to racism.

Why? Because he is too far left, we don't know much about him, and because the Media favors him! More importantly I don't know about anyone else - but I can't stay with a Church when the Pastor has different beliefs and values from me. I don't agree with CNN I would rather have McCain over Obama - even though I am a woman and support freedom of choice. McCain is a much better candidate to lead this nation if Hillary can't. So here is the deal, no matter what, even if Hillary encourages her supporters to vote for Obama – if he should win the primary – I will not.

In my mind both Hilary and Obama from a policy standpoint are virtually the same candidate - and either will represent us well. My concern is that while Obama has the ability to fill a stadium without breaking a sweat in any state - in any city, while Hilary only seems able to bring in a roomful of people at a time... but she still remains ahead in the popular vote... so there seems to be no CORRELATION between the size of crowd and the number of votes - or Barack would have a sweeping . As a democrat, this CONCERNS me going forward - and I'm puzzled why the press has not discussed this. Probably because they are the ones most carried away by their own news clips of Barack's crowds - but I think the real story is why his ability to draw such sweeping crowds hasn't tranlated to swee to a sweeping lead. I will support the Democratic nominee in the general election.

Regardless of what happens, I cannot vote for Obama under any circumstance because of his Islamic connections with his family and because of his church beliefs; even though he did quit his church, he was there for 20 years and that tells me he shared in their views. I am generally open-minded and accepting, but after hearing any of those racist comments in ANY church, I would not go back to that church. Obama having stayed there shows he did share their views or was there strictly for political gain, either are immoral and shows bad judgement for a presidential nominee. I have learned about his Chicago ties and dealings. However, my own personal morals would not allow me to vote for Obama under any circumstance, regardless of the outcome; even if it means the Republicans win. I can go so far as saying I will vote for McCain just to help make sure Obama does not win. I have voted democrat my entire life in every election.

It concerns me that democrats are willing to vote for McCain. Obama and Clinton have very similar platforms. If Obama does not get elected due to poor turnout or Hillary’s supporters crossing over to the other side, what do you think will happen in 2012, if Hillary becomes the nominee at that time? Obama supporters are going to do the same thing to Hillary. Meanwhile McCain will be in the White House for 8 years. The Republican Party is having a GREAT TIME laughing at us. This is the year to get a Democrat in the White House. Do what is best for our children's future. I have only followed politics for a short time and this is very depressing seeing our party fight each other like kids. I see why folks do not vote.

By not honoring her earlier agreement regarding MI and Fl, she is making a statement that she is above all rules and agreements and that they only apply to others. This is not a fight based on principles but clear demonstration of poor judgment and complete lack of insight on her part. Senator Obama should stick to the agreement reached before the primaries started. By doing otherwise he would demonstrate that he is as unprincipled as Senator Clinton. She is being cynical, opportunist and disingenuous when she draws parallels between MI, Fl primary voting and Zimbabwe. What would have she said and done, if situation was reverse? She has amply demonstrated that she is not presidential material. I supported senator Clinton but have changed my mind now.

It seems as if you are trying to derail Senator Obama's final days to his nomination; especially while watching Campbell Brown and Lou Dobbs nightly; the coverage has been so biased. I am watching right now (8:38 EST) from Canada and the same bit that was shown last night about when Mr. Obama won his first race in 1996 in Chicago. What are you trying to say CNN, are you trying to get to the voters in Puerto Rico, Montana, South Dakota. Why should he concede and give Clinton all she wants! All of a sudden, when Senator Clinton was losing, she did a quick turn around and said "what a minute, those votes should be counted, and delegates seated". Also, why didn't Senator Clinton apologize to Senator Obama when she inferred that she was waiting for Senator Obama to be assassinated before she would bow out of the presidential race. Why didn't CNN press that issue; even if they didn't believe the inference. They seem to push everything else of late especially when it comes to Mr. Obama. Even from way over here in Canada, that inference was pretty clear. He shouldn't apologize to her for what the Catholic priest said. He didn't say it, the Priest said it and he (the priest) apologized. As Senator Obama has reinforced, he doesn't see America as black/white/brown, etc., he sees it as the United States of America and embracing all people and uniting all. Good for you Mr. Obama.

What are you trying to say CNN, are you trying to get to the voters in Puerto Rico, Montana, South Dakota. Why should he concede and give Clinton all she wants! All of a sudden, when Senator Clinton was losing, she did a quick turn around and said "what a minute, those votes should be counted, and delegates seated". Also, why didn't Senator Clinton apologize to Senator Obama when she inferred that she was waiting for Senator Obama to be assassinated before she would bow out of the presidential race. Why didn't CNN press that issue; even if they didn't believe the inference. They seem to push everything else of late especially when it comes to Mr. Obama.

Even from way over here in Canada, that inference was pretty clear. He shouldn't apologize to her for what the Catholic priest said. He didn't say it, the Priest said it and he (the priest) apologized.

As Senator Obama has reinforced, he doesn't see America as black/white/brown, etc., he sees it as the United States of America and embracing all people and uniting all. Good for you Mr. Obama.
