I find it very disturbing to hear people say that they would vote for Obama JUST because he’s black. Funny,,,, he’s BIRACIAL!
After the Pastor Wright stuff hit the media fan, those same people were clearly divided into two camps;

the ones who will not be voting for Obama, because he’s not bright enough to realize that associations and appearances DO matter

the ones who will vote for him, no matter what he does or says, just because he’s black.
(Yes, that’s what they said!)

The only thing that disturbs me more is the fact that three illegal aliens are registered to vote from my residence,,where they have never lived.
When I presented this disturbing fact to Voter Registration and my polling place, I was told that
they didn’t require proof of where these illegal aliens lived, or proof that they are citizens, in order to vote.

How lovely.

Quoting What-Who?:

“ALVIN…You should stop spending so much time on the computor trashing people and sign up for grammer and spelling classes. Seriously, your time will be better spent. Oh, and take a course in politics while your there!!”

Congratulations What-Who, you’re as ignorant as you are stupid. Don’t preach to people about needing grammar and spelling classes when you misspell computer (computor), grammar (grammer), and you’re (you meant to use it as a contraction, as in “while you are there”) all within three sentences. Your grammar is only slightly better, but I think I’ve already made my point.

About this politics course you speak of… Where did you get your education? If I were a betting man I’d guess you made it all the way through your senior year of a No Child Left Behind era high school.

Jack is an as s
and James thinks he’s smart
Get together and make spoons
Florida deserves more than a middle finger, you screwed up this country by messing up the Gore election and now you’re all high and mighty. Get bent.
No one is saying anything smart on this board.

I see James is still trolling any thread about Obama, just so he can ask his ‘questions’ about muslim/koran/whatever.

If people point out the facts, he claims ignorance/curiosity/whatever - what does he care? He’s managed to waste some supporters’ time and energy.
If people don’t, he’s managed to continue the whisper campaign.
What a waste of bandwidth.

Isn’t junk like that exactly what we want to see changed in politics?

umm Cherry really? He’s proud of his African American heritage. He’s proud of his American heritage. That’s why he is labled as an African and American. It can only be portrayed as a negative name if that’s how you view it.

After reading your column, I am confused. Obama’s father is African, his mother is white from Kansas so why is he called African American? Where does his mother fit into the equation? Only Americans call each other these silly names, Italian American, Irish American, Jewish American etc. Since they were all born here, shouldn’t they be Americans? Most of my family lives in England, and no one calls them African English. My children’s father is Irish and he is very insulted whenever anyone calls his children African American. They are Americans of Irish and Black descent and we let them know it so that they can be proud of both sides. My children reside in Ireland with there grandparents so that they can attend university and the Irish refer to them as Americans. Only Americans like to label each other.

Wow, how enlightening to learn from Kansans that Obama is a Muslim! And here I was uncomfortable with him because he was wearing his Christianity on his sleeve and pandering to the black Christians too much and just not saying enough progressive things in generl, other than to remind us that he was smart enough to vote against causing a disaster in Iraq. How foolish of me!

The only good organized religion is a discredited organized religion. Give me spiritual freedom and a government guided by reason.

Okay, people… Obama is not Muslim. While his church is predominently African American… so what? I guess that makes all white churches, or Korean churches racist too? Only white people who feel threatened by minorities would repeat such a falsehood… hardly a christian sentiment. And, all the democratic candidates agreed to forego Florida… do you honestly think Hillary would show there if she were gliding to an easy nomination? Do you think the repubs would spend any time there if it wasn’t for delegates (besides Rudy, of course… what is up with that strategy?)

I am a midwestern moderate who feel in love with politics in high school, but I have never had a candidate inspire me as Barack Obama does. (Maybe Reagan… wish I was around to hear JFK/RFK in person…) I do not agree with Obama on everything, but after reading his books and listening to him speak, I am a convert.

This land needs healing, after 8 years of a horrendous presidency and an ill begotten war. The repubs have had 8 years to fix things… The Clintons are a train wreck…

Obama has that message — united we stand, divided we fall. Some of you with your petty bickering, name calling only reinforce that, all the while hiding here in anonymity.
