I think I never commented, but I thought it was about time to let you know I love this vlog and try to watch every episode. The guests, the jokes, the music, the editing: it's all great!

I'm following the race for the US elections quite closely and it perplexes me how much racism, sexism and homophobia play a role. I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was THAT bad. Guess I was very lucky to be born in the Netherlands..

By the way, it's true that Europe is ready to embrace Obama. Sometimes I think it would be best if we could have vote in this election too, just as an advice to American voters.

Loved the discussion ladies. Liza P was off the chain, she reminded me of Wanda Sykes. Homegirl definitely needs her own talk show.

Bless. 

That was a great discussion - serious, but with plenty of humour too. You're right to say race is a no-brainer factor in this election. Some of the stuff getting circulated against Obama on the internet makes my skin crawl. I must say I don't know anyone personally in the UK who would back John McCain. I will be watching with baited breath on election day hoping that Obama will win.

You've got my vote on the video :) I loved the music and thought the message was really powerful.

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes, but don't be afraid...

Yay!!!  I made history!!!

Liza is right:  Republicans are racists and Trig is Sarah Palin's grandson.

Go Obama!!!!

:-)

That statement is priceless: " What letters do you see when you look into Barack's eyes"??!!

I'm a volunteer for the Obama campaign, and yesterday, someone who claimed to be  "undecided" told me, after a 15minute conversation in which he was agreeing with all my points, he told me that he was fearful of what could happen to Barack - from the right-wing Nazi-groups, and that he believes Barack will be 'tested' when he is elected...but John is 'safe'

 When I asked him what he meant by 'tested' and wouldn't John be 'tested' too? He assured me he wasn't racist, but just thinks even with all the benefits of Barack and the democratic ticket, John is the 'safe' bet!!!!!! 

I'm constantly amazed about how people excercise what I perceive as their racism. The other day, I heard a woman on NPR who used to be a solid Clinton supporter, but after McCain brought Palin, she became a solid McCain supporter?? How do you as a solid democrat who supports Hillary, now support the republican ticket because a woman has been brought on as V.P., a woman who is nowhere near the level of Hillary?  Another lady on NPR said she switched to McCain after she saw how the media treated Clinton, and was starting to treat Palin??!? What?

I don't agree with the comment that black republicans hate themselves. I've heard that same comment about gay republicans...and I have to say that for the same reason that republicans are republicans, (supposedly wanting smaller government, wanting more state control, lower taxes, etc.), I can see how it can appeal to people of all different races, sexualities, and genders. I don't agree with these, and I believe they change it when it suits them, as we've seen recently.

I can't believe I'm defending this woman, but I don't think you can blame Palin for using her sex appeal - it works, she knows it. And based on her history with beauty pageants, it may be ingrained at this point - she probably doesn't even realise what she is doing at this point. 

I also have to say that I don't think the comments about her private life are warranted. Lets not pass judgement about her personal family life and choices. Whatever the problems or the truth is, its what it is. There is plenty to talk about with respect to her professional resume, and her natural inability to communicate intellectually - lets focus on those instead of sinking to the level of gossiping about her personal life choices. 

Love your video blogs - always give us something to gnaw on! GO VOTE people!

Love never loses its way home. Remember...its about the journey, not the destination

I'm constantly amazed about how people excercise what I perceive as their racism.

Racist towards whom? There are actually white people who are scared of radical white people. I've heard a few white people say they're afraid that Obama will be assisinated. Ironically the fear some white people have is a fear of racism itself, and that has been around longer than anyone realizes. Although, I'm sure it won't be taken seriously.

Uh how can a McCain be a "safe bet" anyway? Come on, we don't even know he'll survive a single term.

Not that that's the real issue, I think, you're right Ms. Ghana.
