Will John McCain be able to say anything negative about Obama in the general election?

Will the race card be played when anything negative about Obama's beliefs or platforms are challenged? Will the liberal media and/or blacks allow criticisms and debates to be held without the color of skin being brought up? What is wrong with this picture that race and racism is always brought up when a white person is against voting for Obama?

Update:

MB There you go...I asked the question...you brought up the race card claiming that I am a racist..come on!

    Nope he'll be called a racist just for getting out of bed once Obama is nominated.

    First of all he can work on he years of experience as a navy officer. As a moderate Republican, that have many bills with Democrats. He has relationship with foreign leaders

    He been in the Senator for a while, and worked hard as a moderate

    The only people that bring up racism is the press and Obama people.

    McCain, can get Hillary votes

    That is something the democrats are over looking

    I am not crazy about any of the three left

    I do respect McCain service

    What has Obama done, beside run for president as a US senator? That will be a problem for a lot of voters. I bet some black, white, Asian, Hispanic, and others

    Obama is very good at using that victimization card - and claiming it's someone else who started it. You have a good point, and one pundits were discussing tonight.

    In NH when Clinton commented about Johnson's role in civil rights...racism came up...and Obama instead of dismissing it by saying "leave it alone, we know what she meant", gave a snide sideways remark that left it as racism but "he was too big to bring it up." And it was off and running. That's when Hillary lost the black support (according to the numbers.)

    That's when he lost my vote. It contradicted with everything he said he stood for of being "not a typical negative politician, and being a uniter." Since then plenty has reinforced my opinon, but that was the moment I first saw it. If you don't have experience, you darn well better have what you're selling me on.

    See, to all the Obama supporters, it had nothing to do with his associates, or his ethnicity, or any of the hideous lies that go around. It had to do with HIM.

    So many of us see this, but you don't so you don't believe us. So, you keep looking for other reasons why we don't like him.

    Yes... "Experience." The race card is not necessarily a negative. And it certainly wouldn't be his only flaw. Hell, what war has Obama withstood? The war against Clinton? Big whoop. Besides, its not like Obama can use the race card either... Although, I'd like to see Obama lose the Nomination cuz he's already started G.E. campaigning.

    Yea, he can say a lot about Obama the real question is will he cause I'm sure that Obama is going to keep up his racist attitude even through the general election. Once a racist always a racist.

  • 1 decade ago

    Well, I don't know....the race card is losing its punch because Obama and the media have played it so much. Sorry, but all of this racial drama stirred up by the Obama campaign is getting really old.

    NO! McCain won't play the race card. The extremist GOP members might, but McCain won't. He'll argue about Obama's liberal agenda and why he disagrees with it. I think it'll be kept totally political, which I respect.

    1) Obama is not a Muslim. But he continues to insist he never was. This is a plain lie. Why he makes it, remains beyond us.

    2) He claims no relationship to Islam. Utter lie. A majority of his brothers and sisters, and other relatives are Muslim.

    3) Obama’s opposition to the Iraq war, while laudable in hindsight made little sense in 2002, except when his family, ethnic, and religious identity enter the equation.

    5) Obama consistently downplays his relationship with Jeremiah Wright.

    6) Lies about Wright’s personal influence.

    7) Lies about his involvement with Wright’s politics, and the politics of Wright’s Church.

    Obama forces Jeremiah Wright to dissimulate about the nature of his church, his and their views, opinions, and achievements.

    9) Obama dissimulates on Wright’s past association with Farrakhan.

    10) Obama employs Nation of Islam, in the past and present.Lets them go untouched, which

    11) Raises concerns about Obama’s own stance on the Nation of Islam.

    12) Obama dissimulates about his former take on Israel, and the Palestinians, putting in question his present stance.

    13) Obama misrepresents his background, and the context from which he hails, for political purposes, and

    14) his books are fraught with lies about himself and who he i.

    15) Obama’s campaign deliberately exploits his racial identity, to shield their candidate from regular media grilling.

    16) Obama has chosen a deliberate strategy of evasion and vagueness in tackling tough issues. He does not take a stand, and he wont.

    17) Obama’s rise to prominence, in Chicago, is fraught with deus ex machine events, and strange circumstances.

    18) Why Obama’s record in Chicago, has not received a proper vetting or review by the national media, is puzzling.

    19) Obama entered Havard because his father was an Alumnus.

    20) It is not clear when changed his name from Barry Soetoro, and why.

    Y E S !!!

    YOU MUST BE A JOKE ... errr ... must be joking !!!

    IF ... you ... THINK that Hillary and her Supports were hard on Obama ... JUST WAIT !!!!

    Hillary IS trying to SAVE the Democratic Party from the Socialist / Communist / Liberal ANTI-American - OBAMA !!!!

    IF ... OBAMA was a WHITE man WITH the SAME LACK of Qualifications, HE would have been - LAUGHED - out of the Nomination process in the BEGINNING !!!! ... The JUNIOR SENATOR ... with NO CONSIDERTION for the constituents of Illinois ... did NOT even finish his FIRST TERM !!!!

    I am for OUR America AND OUR Children's Future !!!!

    That is WHY ... WE ... NEED to make sure that EVERY American KNOWS about Senate Bill S.2433

    OBAMA wants to END WORLD POVERTY on YOUR NICKEL AND SURRENDER THE United States to THE United Nations.

    The Y/A Obama Trolls have 999'd my links - - Please, SEARCH the phrase above !!!! ... OR the Actual Senate Bill Number - S.2433 !!!

    .

    I am AGAINST the Socialist / Communist / Liberal ANTI-American - OBAMA !!!!

    Democrats generally believe in heavy fines for honest work, while rewarding sloth and indulgence.

    Do YOU think that people should be able to do absolutely nothing productive and get government hand-outs for sloth and indulgence - healthcare, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STDs, etc. ??

    Do YOU want to have YOUR MONEY TAKEN from YOU and YOUR FAMILY to FINANCE these people ???

    .

    I have NOTHING against helping the elderly and the young.

    I DO have a problem SUPPORTING the able-bodied people that do NOT want to get off of their butts and EARN an honest living - instead of "FEEDING" off of hard working citizens.

    AND they teach their children, and their children's children HOW to FEED off of government programs !!

    Just realize ... that those of us that ACTUALLY have to work for a living, are getting tired of PAYING for the Democrats idea of HELPING.

    Shouldn't MANDATORY Urine Tests be REQUIRED of people that are requesting "government handouts"?

    IF you are on LEGAL prescription drugs, then you will not have a problem proving it !!

    .

    CHANGE is ALL that you will get back from the Socialist/Communist/Liberal Democrats, when they TAKE your hard earned paycheck from you to give it to able bodied people, "FEEDERS", who do NOT want to get off of their butts and actually get a job !! Our wonderful government hand-out programs !!

    Please, TRY to HOPE in one hand and SPIT in the other hand!

    Which one is filling up the fastest ??

    .

    We need to make sure that the person that represents AMERICA is PRO-AMERICA !!!

    WE NEED to make sure that EVERY man, woman, and child, KNOW how ANTI-AMERICAN Obama and his Reverend(S) ARE !!!

    Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "second hand smoke" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??

    Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "Anti-American Preachings" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??

    John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was sworn in as the 35th President of THE United States of America, at noon on January 20, 1961. In his inaugural address he spoke of the NEED for ALL Americans to be ACTIVE CITIZENS, famously saying, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

    Please NOTICE that it said DEMOCRAT - NOT Socialist and / or Communist Democrat !!

    It means this country is only as strong as the people in it. It means get off your a$$ and do something!!!

    .

    The Democratic Elite make the rules and then they change them for their convenience !!

    The Elite Democrats feel like THEY know better than YOU who would be the best person to run the country !!!

    By the People and For the People !!!

    I wish the media would open up about the Larry Sinclair & Donald Young story, it has merit.
