To lou

I guess you are one of the blind sheep Oblama is counting on. You counterdict your point about race voting by bringing up the fact that whites are voting for Oblama too. The black vote for him is about mid 90% (sounds like they are voting on skin color to me). Are whites voting mid 90% for McCain? NO! So who are the racists and who are the ones voting on issues? HHMMMM.

Michael, I take offense to your last comment acting as if all conservatives debate that way. I always argue the issues with facts and I think you know that.

For those who question the relevance of the NAACP, you should look at the history of the organization. At the time it was founded, it was certainly a much needed asset to African Americans. No reasonable person could question the need for its founding. Unlike the Council for Conservative Citizens, the NAACP helps all people, regardless of color.

I have a question for those who think Blacks are voting purely along racial lines. If Blacks are voting overwhelmingly for Obama because of his perceived race, then what are the reasons that whites are voting for him? For those who need assistance thinking, I’ll assist you. Clearly, whites share no phenotypic similarities to Obama. So, they must be voting for him for some other reasons. Perhaps, whites are voting for Obama because he shares their political views: Principles of the Democratic party. Many Blacks also share the views of the Democratic party. Therefore, Blacks are voting for Obama for the same reason whites are: Principle of the Democratic party.

*Before some of you play the guilty, bleeding-heart, white liberal angle, voting is by secret ballot.

I am so scared for this country if Obama gets elected president. I wish people would do their homework and truly research his record before swooning over him. Taxes will increase, health care will be much worse than it is now (while costing us much more) and your hard-earned pay will be redistributed to others. How can that be a good thing? What are you people thinking? All I can say is that if he gets elected, all of you that voted for him deserve what you get. The unfortunate thing is that all of us that abhore what he stands for will also have to deal with him for four years. I guess we lived through four years of Jimmy Carter and eight years of Bill Clinton so we’d live through four years of President Obama.

The notion that black people are voting for Obama because he is black is invalid as white people voting for McCain because he is white.

You seem to have fallen off the mental bus. We can let you talk to a nice lady in a white coat.

I can always tell when a conservative responds to my posts. They can’t argue the issue so they resort to name calling or slander.

Obama was against the surge in Iraq and said it wouldn’t work.

Then he said it wasn’t working when the evidence said it was.

Now he’s had to eat his words.

McCain with his experience knew it would work from the
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
McCain also said that the war in Iraq would be short. He was the main supporter of it. Then before he called for the troop surge, he stated that the american people were led to believe that the war would be short.

Got to love that Experience. With great experience comes great FLIP-FLOPPERY.

I guess I’ve never really understood the NAACP. Why do “colored people” (thought they hated that by the way) need an organization to “advance” them. Yes, I’m a white 45 year old female and I am just curious why “colored people” can’t just work hard, get grants/loans and go to college, get good jobs and “advance” themselves. That’s the way my family has always done it.

Oh, yes - I forgot. They don’t have time to do all those things because they are too busy whining how mistreated they are and about their great, great grand-pappy who was a slave!

Nevermind that middle class white kids have trouble getting grants & loans because 95% of the money is ear-marked for minorities.

Sign me up when there is a NAAWP!!

Notice that Obama only talks about males “accepting responsibility,” as if they aren’t already being railroaded by our manhating family courts, hit with ruinous child support judgments and false accusations of abuse. Never in a million years will this “honest” politician tell a single black mother to keep her family– or her knees– together

This is one of the most ignorant and racist comments I have read in a while. And I have been reading comments on Fox News. How many families are without fathers. How many children have to do without their mothers, due to them having to work 2 or 3 jobs just to put food on the table. “Railroaded by our manhating family courts”. I bet you have children out there that you don’t think you should have to take responsibility for. Tell a single black mother to keep her knees together? Unless I am mistaken sex involves 2 people (unless you are Republican, They just don’t have sex….LOL). He is refering to these men that talk big, talk like they are real men. Then when the woman is pregnant, Woosh out of town. No support.”Ruinous child support” If you don’t think that a MAN should have to pay for what they helped to create (unless you want to support abortion), then you are no MAN to make judgements on a persons resposibility.
