What you are seeing is NOT an endorsement for McCain, rather the disillusionment of somebody that woke up and realized her party was no better than the other. Coupled this with the fact the candidate is black just makes the shock even more traumatic for her.
The system is beyond broke folks. Financial institutions, their corporate interests and the upper .1% that run them control the puppets that we call politicians to serve there own interests.
They keep us in an ideological straight jacket propagated by the bought and paid for media to keep us bickering amongst ourselves.
It’s getting serious now. The critical mass of the banking and energy crises will surely push us to a standard of living not seen since the 30’s. There undoubtedly will be massive civil unrest and a vulnerable populace ripe for the second coming of Hitler.
It’s time for everybody to wake up and see the world as it is. This is not a drill.

Joking aside, I think your observations are good.
I really never assumed anything other than what you report with regards to the establishment connection. Yes it is serious.Obama actually reminds me of Kerry the overstatesman.(yes I know, I made it up).However, I can’t help but be happy for the black people for whom it matters that he is a candidate. There is some affirmation of progress in that, even if he really is a average politician in many ways and perhaps disappointingly so to some.

I’m speechless. You are so obsessed with race and sex it’s nothing short of pathetic. When logic fails you (which seems to happen on a regular basis), you resort to name-calling and ad hominems. What in God’s name do my thoughts about Obama have to do with my level of sexual satisfaction as a woman??? And are you implying that a man could make these SAME observations without being sexually frustrated? You need professional help, Marion. And for the record, most of what you say is out of line. I’d be willing to take an informal poll of posters on this board to prove that point.[/quote]“You need professional help, Marion”
I came to this conclusion months ago, half-jokingly at first, but now I truly believe that she suffers from the mental affliction “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”
[quote]
DSM Criteria
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following[1]:1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3) believes that he or she is “special” and unique
4) requires excessive admiration
5) has a sense of entitlement
6) is interpersonally exploitative
7) lacks empathy
8) is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes [/quote]Although I am not a psychological professional (and ironically Marion is), I have observed 7 of these traits in her postings on a consistent basis.
[quote]To the extent that people are pathologically narcissistic, they can be controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, intolerant of others’ views, unaware of others’ needs and of the effects of their behavior on others, and insistent that others see them as they wish to be seen [4].
People who are overly narcissistic commonly feel rejected, humiliated and threatened when criticised. To protect themselves from these dangers, they often react with disdain, rage, and/or defiance to any slight criticism, real or imagined [8].[/quote]
