Woody Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 As we keep hearing the discouraging results of the polls ... lets keep in mind the Bradley Effect. And hope and pray that the Bradley Effect is alive and well as so clearly evidenced during the Democratic Primaries. My thought is that if the Democrats can experience the Bradley Effect ... then surely the rest of the nation can. Pray that it will ... for these are dangerous times. We don't need a rookie in the office of President. On Fox News there was a good indication of progress. John Elway was present at a McCain rally in Denver. I pray this will help turn the tide.

Woody Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 At the above rally .... McCain was cheered for promoting the idea of not taking 'Joe's Dough'. I think the public can relate with this message. In his speech he also mentioned how Obama would do all this talk with terrorist states. Hey folks ... we talked and talked for years in the UN with Saddam.(Along with 17 UN resolutions.) What good does talk do with a terrorist state. Does Obama think they are a part of the '57 US states' or what? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Woody Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 The other thing we can pray for is that while Obama is out there in the blessed state of Hawaii ... maybe the McPalins can catch up.

Dr. Shane Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Praying for the Bradley effect is praying that the nation is racist. I think that is abhorrent. I pray that people will vote based on character and issues and not based on the color of skin. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Woody Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 The Bradly effect has nothing to do with being racist. It is just saying that those who want to vote for a white candidate on the basis of ability ... not race ... they will report to the pollsters that they are voting for the Black candidate so that they can appear to be politically correct. But when they do that ... they are really not intending to vote for the black candidate. There is nothing racist about this. The Bradley effect was alive and well during the Democratic primaries. But to say that those folks in each state of the Union ... were racist ... is just simply irresponsible. And to imply if you are ... that to not vote for the Black candidate is racist ... well ... I just don't have much more to say to you. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

But when they do that ... they are really not intending to vote for the black candidate. There is nothing racist about this. You can't be serious! Redwood, I really can't believe that you don't see that as a form of racism! Being two-faced is certainly a very real part of racism. Disingenuously polite and nice and politically correct out in the open, but when the curtain is drawn, watch out. It is the essense of the message of the old R&B song by the Undisputed Truth, "Smiling Faces". The lines that are the kicker are "Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend, Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within." Hers's the whole thing: "Smiling Faces Sometimes" (As recorded by The Undisputed Truth) BARRET STRONG NORMAN WHITFIELD Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within. Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. The truth is in the eyes 'Cause the eyes don't lie, amen Remember a smile is just a frown turned upside down My friend let me tell you Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. Beware, beware of the handshake that hides the snake I'm telling you beware, beware of the pat on the back It just might hold you back Jealousy (jealousy), Misery (misery), Envy. I tell you you can't see behind smiling faces Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. (Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes) (Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes) I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake that hides the snake Listen to me now beware, beware of that pat on the back It just might hold you back. Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. Your enemy won't do you no harm 'Cause you know where he's coming from Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya Take my advice I'm only tryin' to school ya. Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth, uh Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof. © Copyright 1971 by Jobete Music Co., Inc. - SONG HITS, Summer 1974.
