I'll leave the comments that have been posted, but will not allow anymore the rest of the night. Sorry, I want to enjoy all the news coverage without worrying what someone is going to type.

Sorry, Proud American, but the U.S. days as global leader are over. We'll still be influential, No. 2, really, but China is evolving into the world's No. 1 superpower, and the next 50 years, at least, will be theirs.

Time to Party Tonight! O-Bam-A!!!!!!

America will bounce back as good as ever with McCain or Obama as President. This country is the focal point of the world we will not go down to any Country and we will remain the leader of the world forever. Those other Countries do not have what the USA has and thats balz. Believe in your Country people they will not keep us down that long we are too smart for that. Sure Bush Screwed up? or did he???? by taking the fight to the terrorist on their own soil and letting them know we will not be F'd with.. but if that is not good enough then that is why we have elections and change, key word change and when we do we always come back stronger. I as a American believe as you should too that the USA is by far the best Country in the world and will always remain that way.

Talk about Bigotlook at Whitey he s a bigger moron that the Bigot is.
Please tell me these are just kids.
Haliburton..........Oh My God how funny is that........ahhh the stupidity. Those two have to be the same person nobody can be that stupid or ignorant to the facts.

Bigots Unite
I can't believe you even posted that if you beleive half that crap you posted your a bigger fool than I think you are.
Boy oh Boy the dumb just keep getting dumber.
WOW that was amazing!

Read these blog idiots and wonder if we can survive. The americans change presidents about every 8 years, sometimes every 4. Its called throwing the rascals out. Write down the promises and check with me in 4 yrs. This is one of the most dangerous periods in U S history. Best hope the flag of Islam does not wave over yhe land in 10 years as they claim.GOD BLESS AMERICA

jcaz,
You write this is a sports blog and that politics have no place here. Take a look at the top of the page when you log on. Surprise. Political ads. My take is that these comments are mostly racist and although sad it is the honest truth. We do live in a racist society and as you can see many people blatantly let it be known. All the us and them comments tell the true story. How many of us have grandparents and parents who were born in America and fought the wars of America but because of the color of our skin we are looked down upon.That has a lot to do with this election being so brutal and divided. It's us against them in everyone's eyes no matter what side of the fence you are on.Just read some of these posts, they tell quite a story.

Welcome to racism in America 101.

Some of these people will cheer right next to you and call people N888gers and W88backs when you're not there. Looka t the grief Wallace Gonzalez is taking from the Glendora cross burning crowd.

How did Tiger Cortes get a pass?

Incredible the closet racists and bigots that still exist.

Mark my words Mc Cain will win because there are so many closet haters out there that only see color and not charcter.

How about the 13M border rats that you have paid for thru Old Man McCain giving them free entry. Check the vote on that one!
Typical uneducated response this ass doesn't have the decency to show respect for a man that suffered for him in Viet Nam for five years to have the right to call him names
You think it's a flood now you should see whats being said in the Mexican papers along the border towns. They cant wait for Obama and January. Illegal immigration cost Los Angeles county alone 400 million dollars not including education.
What sad is most here dont take this stuff seriously it's a joke to them.
Well quit complaining it's going to be a welfare state on a nation wide basis and thats what people appear to be wanting someone to wipe their back sides As California goes so does the country and California is broke. And as long as we have kids having babies people expecting the goverment to take care of them your paycheck is going to shrink more and more and this once proud country will turn into a third world just look at cities like Rosemead, La Punte, El Monte is a fine example look at the El Monte Valley Mall, Look at San Gabriel and what has happened there along valley boulevard.
But thats what people want let em have it. God save us!

republicans, socialism for big business and the suppliers of warfare, democrats socialism for the poor and less fortunate, so do you support the war mongers of the last 8 years,where is that slimy, coke addict(alledged) at anyhow, doesn't he have a war errrr country to run? Nader is the best one, too bad this country is run by 2 dofuss parties which eliminates any chance of somebody qualified to be Prez, whoever wins will have a near impossible job, seeing how far bushie has run this country into the ground

My goal is 50 votes when the polls close.

We are paying for those authentic Raiders and Dodger Jerseys and those Chrysler 300's with spinner rims as these (well you know who they are by race) people continue to have Anchor Babies that they cannot or refuse to support.... as long as our hard working tax money keeps them low lifes in their comfort zone they will continue to abuse the system. It is time for change.

Typical Obama Voter

How about the 13M border rats that you have paid for thru Old Man McCain giving them free entry. Check the vote on that one!

Keep diging ahole, they need your money.

Hilarious... you actually have 17 votes (at the time of this post)

Freddy... the only post you'd have any shot at becoming president: (you'd have my vote)

Unabashed UCLA Homer Club!

Maybe next year too, the Kobe Bryant Please Don't Take Olympiakios' Money Club...

Here's the typical entitlement Obama voter!

"If you make 250K, then I agree you pay dude. Read the entire plan, not what you here from old man Mccain and lip stick Palin!"
This is typical of a uneducated moron who only gets his information from MTV and the nightly news....Yeah right if this loser read the plan he'd know that number is all over the place. you guys crack me up how stupid you are
Tell me something why dont you get off your ass and stay out of my pocket it's low life's like you I'm carrying the load for. I bust my ass and every week I pay for your entitlements AKA your free meal.
Your the same guy that has the nice rims, the raider or dodger jersey on and pushing a stroller and carrying you 5 month old.
I'm sick of paying your way jerk off. Am I pissed your damn right I am I owe you nothing PERIOD! and whatever makes you think I do really ticks me off so you vote Obama you uneducate moron

As a American that onlys speaks english I am very hispanic looking from my dads side and I am 1/2 white, do you know how many times white people have discriminated against me and treated me like a second class citizen in restuarants and stores and do you know how many times illegals have tried to talk spanish 100 MPH to me like I was one of them. It is all skin color and looks.

hmmmmm God Bless America does not ring a bell? he must have changed his nickname just for this very day! how patriotic,lmao..........gay "marriage" threatens no one? I knew this day and this argument would arrive, in another 50 years there will be an amendment for polygamy(did the Mormons have a good thing or what)or 2 men and 3 women to be wed as "one" or to have your spouse from another species or some other bizarre idea, but hey if no one is hurt, why not, using that logic, legalize drugs, abortion(oops too late) suicide..............we Calornians have got to be kidding, we have so much more to worry about than gay "marriage" and prop2.....this state is an economic nightmare with a incompetent gov, who can't even pronounce the word and how did he come into office, on a recall? election what gives with that, California home for 35 million and only 34.5 million are idiots!

jcaz as usual you are the master of the sublime and ridiculous. politics a hot issue that brings out the wrst in people? have you been reading this blog with open mind and a closed eye? peopl have come on here and slammed kids, questioned each other's manhood, questioned the coaches integrity, slammed and threated to beat on each other, threatened to sue each other, put up bounty rewards, called into question the masculinity of 14-18 year olds, called mom's names that would get you beat up in a bar and generally made Fred and teh Tribune wince in a daily basis...but don't give bloggers an open adult forum about the most important election since the depression? Jcaz, with all due respect....I have every little for you. That's right waht makes Prop 8 such a threat to you? Half of all the supports are on their second mariages? Look at MC Cain ...father a kid before he was legally divorced....is that protecting the sanctity of marriage? What about Palin's hoockie daughter? She getting married? Where's teh sanctity in that? Well that apple didn't fall far from the tree....Momma Sarah had her kid 8 months after her wedding to the Snow Mobile Champion. What threatens you so much about gay amrriage? Maybe your son or daughter...or wife...will one day say...."WE HAVE TO TALK"....like all sheep you just follow the company line. Gay marriage threatens no one. Neither did INTER RACIAL MARRIAGE...also once outlawed...which hopefully will give us our next President.

NO on 8. Yes on Change...Barack Obama ...get used to it America...or go home! This land has always been the brown man's and today ...in my lifetime...I will see something I never thought possible....America FINALLY lives up to it's POTENTIAL and PROMISE.....WE THE PEOPLE>>>GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!

not too get overly scientific here, but Obama is 50% black and 50% white, so why all the rasist stuff here? just like Eldrick Woods, who actually is only 3/8ths black, his father was 1/4 American Indian(cherokee) anyway Eldrick loves to play to his Asian side, he makes bajillions on his forays in to the Asian continent and he still gets all the love in the US, right?

Bush has put and left behind either Candidate in big pile of Shyt.

Ladies and Gentleman and sports fans.

We'll I am white and voted for Barack. It’s not about race for me, it’s about what I personally I'm tried of over the last eight years! Using Ronald’s slogan, “Are you better off over the last eight years” OR is our country better off today? We have major issues to address and whoever wins inherits a big mess.

Good Luck…

What blew it for McCain and why he will lose is that he went for Sarah Palin a woman that tried to use the sex sells approach with the librarian hotsy totsy look, sorry women I just cannot see her as second in command of our country. McCain used bad judgement there, he should have picked a Male running mate, that would have made more sense. The best thing Obama did was pick Biden a white person as his running mate, he did not keep it all Black and that will win him this Presidency. We as a country are more ready for a Black male President then we are for $ex $ell$ Female V.P...she is Dizzy and that does not cut it I dont care how good she looks on a Strippers Pole.

You all know, that politics and religion should never be talked about at a social gathering, because it can create some bad blood between some goods friends.

Same here.

I wish that Fred would have given this some more thought before posting this thread, not only because it has nothing to do with sports of course, but because it can be so divisive.

Perhaps an obscure acknowledgement to the events of the day, would have sufficed ?

Ya, I know, it's an election, and a part of our social fabric, and yes, of course it's a big deal this time around (so you don't have to go there with me if you don't agree with my point), but this thread is so out of bounds for right here, don’t you think ?

I mean, soon we will have folks like brokeback in here trying to get us to vote his way on 8, if you know what I mean (he he, sorry BB, I guess were even eh :) )

Again, I'll allow comments as long as we don't cross the lines. Help me out here.

Just Wondering are you a clset racists or an unapologizing bigot? Wow where is your outrage at the mess we are CURRENTLY in? Went to war to stabalize oil prices and what happened? Talk to Greenspan yo ease credit and look what happened? Told the American people to spend ,spend, spend...and look what happened? Went to war with the best trained and best funded military might the world has ever seen and guess what happened? Still there after 7 years! You're either with us or against us attitude has given Russia amandate to stand against us. Soldiers are getting "SUPPLIES" from home. Vest from home...why? Becasue Bush UNDERFUNDED and POORLY PLANNED the war effort..

Where is your outrage you bigot ...I'm Just Wondering AS WELL!

I wouldn't hire Sarah Palin for anything other than dancing around a brass pole. She doesn't read news paper, her husband was part of a Movement that wanted Alaska to leave the Union...that's right...49 states! Where's your outrage Just Wondering?

Guys like you are a so full of crap. 250 years of history and the best you can do is call someone a solcialists..Define socialists/ That's right...never went to college. Here's a tip..Harvard is teh top dog and 5 colleges in 4 years means you're a moron...put lip stick on that pig!

wondering? after 8 years of bushie, the economy can't sink any lower, as evidenced by the near trillion dollar bailouts for the wall street white collar crooks! and the multi trillion dollar "war" that feeds Halliburton et al(cheney and bushs cronies)it's alright for tobacco farmers to get subsidies(welfare) right, after they are white people just like you, you can identify with that, how about socialized(free) education is that radical idea ok with you? how about mccain dumping his first wife, and knocking up his current wife(the money in the family) before he was divorced, that is real classy! just wondering your mindset is so far out of touch with this century and todays America, either get some new meds or load up on Midol, willya

Please, no racist comments, I've already deleted two. I'll delete the comments entirely if this continues.

Just Womdering

If you make 250K, then I agree you pay dude. Read the entire plan, not what you here from old man Mccain and lip stick Palin!

Finally a plan that makes since. One thing for sure, no more BUSH! He's going down as one the worst since Carter! I love the way Bush has lead this country and how Johnny boy voted 90% with him. Maverick my a--...

Go Barack!

yeah I can't wait to watch everyone get refund checks especially those that don't even file taxes.

This guy thinks he is freakin Robin Hood...except he is taking from everyone.

I'm so excited about Sen. Obama... I can't wait to pay higher taxes! It will be so cool when the economy slows down a little more and just the thought of providing medical insurance for everyone (free to a good home), gets me all warm and fuzzy inside! Life is good... but socialized life will be much, much better... just mark my words! Rock on Barak!
