Hi Folks,

I have been hearing all day about what I call "The Obama Theory". From what I can gather, supposedly some White people and/or Republican voters, as well as other voters may be somehow "Juking the stats" or pushing Obama on purpose with either hopes or knowledge of fact that Obama couldn't possibly trump a White, Republican candidate. Although I do have my own position, I'm just throwing this out there to see where some of u guys are coming from.

I think his support is real, but the Fat Lady hasn't sung yet!

I certanly hope that his support is real but at the same time, I have spoken to a few people on this subject and it seems like this was something used to deliberately poison the water so to speak. Sway voters away from voting for Obama, mabey not now in the primaries but possibly later in the general election. It just seems manufactured deliberately to be malicious.

ROFLMAO!

Or at least post of the day?

[Broly]

That's just it though. It's the ignorance of the American voters that seems to be a strength to those who support change. People believe what the media tells them. When a person states a fact and then one asks "How do u know that?", I'll bet the most common reply is "I heard it on the News". If it's that easy to sway thousands, then no organized intelligence is required from the American people.

That just shows you how powerful the evening news, is: And, who are the owners?

The ignorance of the American voters is, IMO, attributed to 'propaganda-type-marketing' of the networks now..

It's an art:

I agree, especially when it comes from Fox or National Inquirer!

[Broly]

Lol The National Enquirer This dude named Koot or something or other said that The National Enquirer told him that Obama was Muslim.

[ekim68]

What's your point? Are you biased against Obama?

Yup!

[Broly]

No. i am no against Obama. He has my vote. It's just crazy to me how people can be told something by a newspaper or news show, and believe it, and then the next thing u know people r falling in line. Hey I'm new to this election stuff. This will be only my second vote. But I'm begining to feel that with these stunts and tactics, I'm spinning wheels. But hey, I appreciate all u guys opinions. thanks again.
