" This might be the single worst editorial ever.

So, whoever wrote this, I can only assume that you're more used to the political races where neither side tries to convince people that their views are more representative of the public? I'm pretty sure "Vote for me because I represent what you represent, and what we represent is better than what the other guy represents." Is the first lesson in Political Science 101.

If I had to guess, I would assume that the Democratic opponents facing off against those two people are saying the exact same thing, just on your side of the fence. I can only assume that you're a democrat because you think that being a democrat is better than being a republican.

What a waste of ink and paper. "

" How pathetic that you need to stoop so low as to call this good man and the next president racist. It shows how little the right has to run on. When Obama asks people how they have faired under conservative republican rule( most folks think GW and crew are conservatives) how will they respond. I think I know. "

" Wow, only 3 posts into this comment board, and someone has already used the word "ilk." As for Obama, I completely agree. He is soooo far left that there is no chance he will ever get elected. Furthermore, how does anyone feel that a black candidate that has anti-"white America" roots has a chance in this election? I know that most would vote for the best person for the job without any regard to race. However, when the black man that is running comes from the background that Obama does, (anti-American, espouses "white privilege" as an excuse for black crime, attends a church that insists upon distorting the true Gospel of Jesus Christ as if it has anything to do with race, etc...)nobody in their right mind will vote for him!

You can see it already in NC. What was it, 93% of blacks that voted cast their ballot for Obama? Obama's candidacy, not because of his race, but because of his ideology has caused a racial divide. (I also happen to believe that an Obama Presidency would open the gates for the horrendous idea of reparations. Because, after all, it is because of "white privilege" that many black people are struggling. So, why shouldn't our government have to pay to enable those same struggling black people to continue to disregard personal responsibility and blame everyone but themselves and poor decision making.)

Furthermore, when Obama makes statements about a woman being "punished" with a baby, you've got to understand the kind of mindset that exposes! Regardless of where you fall on the issue of abortion, I don't think anyone feels that a baby is punishment.

Finally, the sentiments that people "cling" to their guns, faith, and a desire to protect the boarders from illegal immigrants as a symptom of bitterness toward failed government is a joke. People want their guns because they like to hunt, protect their families, and they want to preserve their best tools against any potential tyranny by our government. People do cling to their faith, but it has nothing to do with the failures of government. It is because faith demands devotion, and yes people are comforted in hard times by their faith, but again, nothing to do with government. Finally, wanting the boarders sealed to prevent people from breaking our laws has nothing to do with bitterness. It has to do with the ideal of enforcing our laws.

To sum this all up, Obama is racist (exposed from his continued membership in a "church" that preaches hatred), anti-American, left of Kennnedy, supporter of all that God hates, and a socialist! Why would anybody be foolish enough to think that this man has any chance in the general election? Especially, when he will be running against a man, McCain, that stands for and represents everything that made this country great! "

" Despite you and your ilk trying to tar him Obama will win. "

" Tomah Journal, YOUR PATHETIC....As the previous poster stated, you should check your own writings.

The fact that OBAMA clearly stated what he truly believes and the Tomah Journal, among others is trying to spin this is beyond any sense of realism....OBAMA is an ELITIST without question, just as the whacko left wing of the democrat party. These people are clearly nuts. but we can thank them for so much, yeah right......To think that I find Hillary much more tolerable now thanks to OBAMA just gives me chills.

I always thought she was about as far left wing as you could get but low and behold the far left wingnuts have found one that is so far out in left field that Hillary looks like a common regular person......

OBAMA has some serious problems in the General election, being he is connected to REV. WRIGHT and that whole bigoted and racist preaching are completely out of line. now throw in that wacko from the weather undergrond Ayres and you can see who OBAMA runs with .......OBAMA will never get elected President, there is no way America will put someone so far left in the White House that promises to raise all our taxes and to talk to whacko TERRORIST......I would much rather see Hillary in the White House then that ELITIST OBAMA, and thats saying alot considering Hillary is an Elitist also......Nice to see how the masses are being lead to slaughter AGAIN. OBAMA is nothing but a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN....... Democrats seem to have this problem of always believing in these types of SMOOTH TALKING SNAKE OIL SALESMEN.....I guess I vote for UNDECIDED AGAIN "

" yes and it can even come from editorial staff at local news papers! You should read your own "stuff" with the same critical views! "gee are WE better than THEM" because WE are DEM! "
