[quote who="shadesofgrey" comment="7"]was 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. &nb

[quote who="Zoologist03" comment="4"]Don't be racist, vote for the white guy! Actually I prefer Obama's politics over McCain's...but what remains to be seen is if he'll actually carry through with all those promises. I just think we have a better shot with Obama in the oval office than with McCain. It's not about race to me, but I do acknowledge it's a big deal in American history. Breaking color barriers is a big deal...but it wasn't a deciding factor for me. 
[quote who="little-whip" comment="3"]Welcome back, ya big hairy Hebe!I have to shake my head every time I see someone openly admitting they voted for Obama because 'it's about time we had a black man for President' or some equally racist reason.They seem blissfully ignorant of the fact that this flies in the face of MLK's 'dream' that one day, a colorblind society will judge a man by the contents of his character rather than the color of his skin.McCain's character is a given, proven by decad
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" comment="2"]Hey Buddy, Glad to see you back for a bit!I am with you on the fact that Obama is also my president-elect and most likely be my next president. I will respect his presidential office. [/quote] Notice I started off with "my President" that's what I said and that's what I mean.
[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="1"]I said it many times before, ignorance won this election for Obama.[/quote] I wrote two other articles called Obama empty suit and omama empty head, hopefully this man will see the job is much more that just a title.
First A congratulations to Barack Obama my new President. I will withhold any judgements about him till I see what he does as President in his first term. Who knows this might be a great thing for the country, I have hopes anyways. Now to adress the subject, in a few states like Virginia the black population voted for Obama as high as high as 90%, while blacks traditionally voted Democrat I don't think the numbers have ever been as high as this also the Latinos voted for Obama in huge
as mork would say "humor ar! ar! "
to those that responded to this article or even took the time to read it and choose not to respond, I deeply thank. To my friend Sabrina, words are never enough to express how deeply I feel about you and you true self. If those people that think you are some kind of raving bitch from hell only knew the real you they would be so ashamed of themselves for lack of judgement, they would don the dunce cap and go sit themselves in the corner.
[quote who="Boudica" comment="6"]I'm sorry, Elie. I do care. Sorry if I haven't been the best of friends. I hope you are feeling better soon. [/quote] I understand, I have not been the best of friends either {{{{{AMY}}}}
[quote who="Island Dog" comment="5"]I hope to see you back, and hope everything goes OK for you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. [/quote] A kind thought, a prayer if you do things like that. that is all I would ask of you.
While I have not been keeping up very much recently on the RACE, the Democrats have run the dirtiest, nastiest most disgraceful campaign.... EVER!
[quote who="Zoologist03" comment="2"]Hope you the doc can get you back to normal...I couldn't imagine spending 6 weeks in a virtual hell like that.It's good to hear from ya again. Just hang in there, I'm sure you can get through this.~Zoo[/quote] Indeed it has been one of the most terrible times of my life. I thank you for the kind thought.
[quote who="KellyW0498" comment="1"]Hey Modman...I care and I am so glad to see your voice. I hope it all works well with the doctors appointment. There will be sunshine for you soon. I know it. [/quote] Thank you for the good thoughts abiout the shrink visit.
I thought I would just drop by to say hello to the very few people that care about me. Since I have been gone for one month only three people have made the attempt to contact me to see how I have been doing, Little whip, Tex and Adventure dude. To those three I thank them for caring enough to drop a line and to Little whip a special thank you for the uplifting phone calls she has made in an effort not to just see how I have been doing, but to actually give me support while I have been
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="12"]Please don't use a rogue democrat to paint a picture of the entire party. This is not how all liberals or all democrats think.Both sides have their lunatics. The problem is not in who is saying it, but in who is not being denounced for saying it![/quote] You nailed it docG.. Ps I read you letter to me, but could not figure out how to respond. things are not well here docG. I won't explain any more on a public forum.
[quote who="Nitro Cruiser" comment="11"]Please don't use a rogue democrat to paint a picture of the entire party. This is not how all liberals or all democrats think.Good point! But when they let it pass or make no mention of it in their media outlets, they are passively condoning it. Either your for equality or against it, not just when it suits the propose.[/quote] Goes with that saying about "for evil to succeed, good men just do nothing" something like that.
[quote who="cityguy" comment="10"]Please don't use a rogue democrat to paint a picture of the entire party. This is not how all liberals or all democrats think.[/quote] The problem is when a righty says something as mean and outrageous as this, it gets front page news and the left screams bloody murder. But when a lefty does the same, nothing gets said and there is no one from the left really condemning it.
Hussein continues to show his "LEADERSHIP" through his vote, his total now is "PRESENT 160 TIMES" BECAUSE THERE IS NO TELEPROMPTER IN FRONT of his face telling him how to vote and he gets confused very easy
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" comment="6"]Why is it no longer surprising that no one in the media seems to be calling this piece of work out on this? This is fundamental racism but I don't think we'll see Sharpton or Jackson on this issue. If anything this is MORE of a reason to NOT vote for Obama.[/quote] Nope we will not, according to the new liberal dictionary Racism is only when white person does or says or hints anything about a black or Latino, Else wise it is just
Sorry I was not one of the ones able to help Amy, things are just very screwed up here right now.
[quote who="pictoratus" comment="3"]No one else is playing the race card ... they probably realize someone has to play it before it (race) becomes a moot point.. Moot Point! ... danger Will Robinson! [/quote] I guess the democratic stratigy included the republicans playing the race card. Since they have not, the democrats have played it themselves, hoping their blind sheep followers will blame the right for it.
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="2"]IT is getting ridiculous. They have used the race card in the past, but this year they are just over the top.[/quote] I have always contended there is no low, low enough for the democrats to stoop to to win the white house, this is just one more showing of how low they are.
I look like something the cat drug in after a long rainstorm, after I was hit by a truck, struck by lightning and forgot how to shave around two weeks ago.
boom shaga laga, boom shaga laga!
Arg!!! we all been spanked in one form or the other Ock. would hate to see you leave, I don't comment much these days, nor do I write much as I have been busy having a nervous breakdown and don't need the added stress, But I do read you and Mari when she does post. In other words for a very selfish reason, I hope you stay. Elie
