Thread Name: BS: Geraldine Ferraro on Racism
Subject: RE: BS: Geraldine Ferraro on Racism
LH - I think the larger problem is this: I was driving along the other day and something came over the radio about Obama, and I decided that no matter what happened, I could never vote for Obama.
                Then I started wondering: what am I thinking? If I don't support Obama if he's the nominee, I'm helping McCain to send more young people to Iraq to become targets. At that point I realized that I was being manipulated by this protracted struggle as it's being presented my the media, and I'm being manipulated to the point that I'm not even thinking clearly.

                If that's happening to me, it must be happening to other people, especially younger people without first hand knowledge of people like Nixon, Reagan and etc. I think this whole thing has degenerated to the point where it is only helping McCain.
