document.write( "                <span class=\"comment\"> Hi Carmen, perhaps you will find my perspective interesting. Whites are such a huge voting block that it’s difficult to generalize, but I will say that as far as Republican demographics go, I should be right in the middle of their voter bloc. I’m a WASP from Texas who has voted a straight Republican ticket several times, & a Christian conservative.Nevertheless, I’m very unhappy with the Republican congress, in particular, and was never very enthusiastic about voting for McCain, either. The Palin choice is kind of a wash, in my view, she has a lot of qualities I admire, but at the same time doesn’t seem ready to fill McCain’s shoes if something happened to him.I had just about convinced myself to go ahead and vote for McCain-Palin before they started what’s been about a month of the most bone-headed campaigning I can remember. First they kept Palin off-limits from interviews for the most part (hardly a vote of confidence), then they started the ridiculous attacks on Obama that just seem to keep getting worse.It’s disturbing to think that Palin may end up destroying her reputation and a promising political future. McCain should have never hired the campaign “experts” that have ruined a campaign that was really starting to connect with voters. We’ve all seen the worst of Republican rhetoric over and over in recent years, and I’m as tired of it as anyone. BTW, it really turns me off when they say “Barack *Hussein* Obama”, as if that’s supposed to imply something. THAT seems pretty racist to me, anyway.Yes, it’s an insult to all voters to think this sort of campaigning will sway opinion. Barack Obama’s voting record is far too liberal for me to support him, but now I’m really having second thoughts about voting for McCain as well.It’s sad to see the Republican Party basically falling apart from a lack of leadership. A true leader would never allow that kind of stuff to happen. The only slight hope Republicans have in capturing the White House is if Palin finally says enough, gives the McCain folks an earful, and strikes out on a different course. America is starving for leadership. Can’t any of these “experts” see it obviously isn’t working?!!" );

Obama\'s comments way before anyone was even taking him seriously as a candidate in the US:<br><br>http://blog.ifaqeer.com/2007/08/pakistan-and-us-not-just-open-letter-to.html<br><br>And I continue to tell both people in his campaign and others that the one thing most Pakistanis remember from this campaign is Sen. Obama saying he will bomb Pakistan.<br><br>If one really wants to stand up for Pakistan and/or Muslims, it will take a lot more &quot;hikmat&quot; and &quot;door-andeshi&quot; than jumping up and down after the fact.<br><br>BTW, I AM working on a website that will take up these issues in ways that I think they should be handled.

And believe me I was so disappointed to see about only a couple of posts out of at least 100 Pakistani blogs. I recently started blogging I guess on 17 August, 2008 so I am not yet much popular among the Pakistani bloggers. But I strongly believe that you should at least be sincere in this field. I also posted the article at global voices. I further displayed a badge of protest at my blog.http://www.guppu.com/2008/09/05/yet-another-cowardly-attack-by-the-us/ Regards<br>Farhan<br>Guppu.Com" );
