Comments on: Mississippi man jilted by GOP governor, but will vote for McCain anyway http://blogs.e-rockford.com/sweenyreport/2008/09/27/mississippi-man-jilted-by-gop-governor-but-will-vote-for-mccain-anyway/ The Sweeny Report takes you into the murky world of local, state and national politics. Political Editor Chuck Sweeny will try to de-mystify things for you -- once he figures it out himself, that is.

For those open to reason, this should be of interest to you. Please read the Obama/ACORN chart carefully, and see how B.H.O.is involved in our current financial troubles. http://justsaynodeal.com/acorn.html For Sheba, and other Obamamaniacs, this will do nothing to change their biased minds.

I interviewed Joel Smith, a man I had never met before, on the City of New Orleans. He impressed me as an honest man. I took him at his word. In fact, I made that interview my Sunday column for the Rockford Register Star print edition. Smith said he's been a Republican for 40 years. McCain isn't his first choice, he would have preferred Mike Huckabee. Smith willl vote for McCain because he thinks Obama is too far left for his liking. Why is that difficult to believe? Millions of Americans also feel that way and it has to do with what political philosophy they prefer, not the race of the man running. To “Sheba”
I’m Chuck Sweeny. I interviewed Joel Smith, a man I had never met before, on the City of New Orleans.

He impressed me as an honest man. I took him at his word.

Smith willl vote for McCain because he thinks Obama is too far left for his liking.

Why is that difficult to believe? Millions of Americans also feel that way and it has to do with what political philosophy they prefer, not the race of the man running.

To say that he is racial is ridculous. In the companies that he has run, along with being a former insurance agent and running a small farm operation, he has employed several people of different races besides caucasian. I take very large offense that you appear to be in need of updating your outlook on the problems in the USA. Bigger government is not the answer, and if you want the Feds to run your life, then move to another country. You are free for a reason. To attack Mr. Smith personally is just plain wrong. Don't judge the man unless you know what he stands for. At least he stepped up and made the effort to help his community and those on the coast by employing people, and try to help those in need. What has Obama done? Not a whole heck of anything. In defending Mr. Joel Smith, whom I have known for over 15 years, he does have a clue, and is an educated man.

This is a good example of how some people are so ignorant to the facts. After what he has experienced, he would rather continue to suffer under the present administration (another 4 years) than to face up to reality that Obama is the most qualified person for the job. I think perhaps he is just can't face up to reality that a bi-racial person such as Barack really makes him feel inferior. When he mention that it wasn't because of his race, I knew that was really the reason. No person in his right mind would vote for anyone because they have always voted Republican. People are losing jobs, losing homes, losing their life savings. Not to mention that McCain voted for a war that never should have been. Either this person is ignorant or he doesn't realize the problem that we Americans now face because of McCain and Bush decisions. WAKE UP MR. MISSISSIPPI.
