Had this been an election year like 2004 the bill probably would have been voted down, the recent explosion of black voters (in support of Obama) had the unforeseen effect by a group that support

I have already begun to see some Republicans start to denounce President-Elect Obama, before he takes office. This is what the Liberal loons did to Bush! I personally will not behave that way and think that right minded Conservatives should take a wait and see approach stance to the next four years or else they will be behaving just like the Liberal lunatics did with Bush, Hated him for no reason; poison filled hatred at that! I personally do not ever want to emulate a LIBERAL even on

[quote who="pictoratus" comment="40"]Very good opinion on the role of racism in the election here:http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-steele5-2008nov05,0,6553798.storyThere are many good points on just how relevant race was in this election and how little the outcome will actually change racism.Symbolism doesn't change racism one whit. [/quote] I will get to this ling ASAP it will either prove or disprove my point. I will get back to you on this.
I am going to take a wait a see attitude brad, or else some one might mistake me for a LIBERAL. hatred before knowing anything. Cannot have that!!!!!!

California once again shows that even in the most LIBERAL state in the union they are still center right about some things and Marriage was defined as one man and one woman. But once again will the gay community let it go. Nope they continuie to throw their life choice in the face of straights till they anger straight to the point of sheer madness. Let them have a civil union with all the perks of marriage for G_D's sake and let it end.
I( wonder if the new cook will have to serve chitlins and pork belly?
Well one change is me resigning from their party and becoming an independent, at least till one of the two major parties get their shit together.
Honored??????? Bullshit!@!!!!!!!! How about it might be just, but I am never going to feel "honored " to have my pocket picked.
I have a feeling President Obama is going to try and preside from the center like Bill Clinton did, if he wants a second term, I am willing to wait and see and not behave like a liberal and doom and gloom with hate filled rhetoric like they did to Bush.

Thank you S for being my proxie. thanks to eveyone for just being so human and humane too.
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" comment="35"]You know MM. Something else that I am seeing here is that an Obama election may also show the selfishness of Americans. When you think about all the rhetoric that Obama proclaimed. Tax Cuts for the poor and middle class, Universal Healthcare, Trickle up economics (take money from the rich, give to the poor), etc.Looking at the exit polls the lower classes are the one's that primarily voted for Obama. Based upon Obama's policies
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" comment="27"]Most people will note that "Obama is the first....". But most just wanted "change", without knowing what change is or will be. It happened before in 1976. I suspect this ride is going to be a lot worse.Be sure to fasten your seatbelt, Doc.[/quote] That is the essence, he never really DEFINED what "change and hope" looked like.
[quote who="cityguy" comment="29"]"Obama won the election but, more importantly, he is black." I don't think anyone has said it quite like that. I think, regardless of who you voted for, it's a huge step in our country. I have mostly McCain supporters for friends and a lot of them teared up at seeing Obama's speech. Not because they liked him, but the milestone his win represents. I am sure on January 21st, they will be right back to disliking him as usual. [/quote] As An America
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="24"]I usually receive a diluted answer that includes "it's time we had a Black President." If this does not involve the color of his skin then I'm back to my original question.For many it was racism, pure and simple. But I think even beyond that, Obama won for one reason alone. The Housing crunch. As soon as the stock market dropped below 10k, McCain lost.Most people will note that "Obama is the first....". But most just wanted "change", wi
[quote who="little-whip" comment="23"]Zoo many white folk voted for Obama including my wife Colleen, much to my shame... eh eh eh... I was "forced to spank her that night.LoL, I bet ya both enjoyed that!Great comment whip, glad my head cleared enough to write an article.Me too!

[quote]And what percentage of the black population traditionally votes Republican? In order for this to be an anomoly, you would need evidence that in the past, blacks have voted republican when given a choice between a D and an R of the same race. I think the historic trends would show you that black traditionally vote democrat so it is not surprising that they would be voting Obama. Also, it's important to note that not just blacks came out in force in this election -- the increased turn ou
I will not mention any names because it just is not the right thing to do at this point. Those that sent Card know who they are; suffice it to say tears of joy and I was humbled at the show of love and affection. The Paint kit will help me center myself when I start to feel scattered, and who ever thought to send it was very wise. The bookmark will be put to very good use too!!! Thank you all for helping me feel loved, as I forgot while I was sitting on the
A large thank you for the rest of the kind comments!!!!11
[quote who="erathoniel" comment="14"]I agree wholeheartedly.They asked white voters in the exit polls "Is race a factor?". What about the rest?[/quote] Oh you can never ask a Black that kind of question, you would be branded a racist, your job would be in jeopardy, your very life possibly ruined.!!
[quote who="Castle" comment="13"]shadesofgreycomment 7was chosen simply because I was Black If you really think he was chosen simply because he's black, you haven't been paying attention. If that's the case, how come Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have never been seriously competitive in the past? Obama offered something that voters wanted: Hope and Change. You don't have to agree with them -- but to say that he only got there because he's black is bothersome to say the least
