I've read on these boards support for Gen. Powell, often from posters trying to prove they aren't racist. "I'd vote for Colin Powell if he were running" is the typical refrain. It's sad that people think they have to prove they're not racists, but I digress...


Is sad when people prove they are..

how dose this sound "I wouldn't vote for Obama even if he were white" dose that make you happy?????????????????/


yes!laugh
Then you tell me WHY I don't have the right to say it is because he's black?????????????


Yes you can say that, why not?
you can't give that as your reason on here because you'll be called a racest
There was another thread going on along these lines a few days back.

It's clear when you post in honesty on here, people just aren't ready for that big of a dose of reality. Most prefer to sugarcoat it and say what they think most would like to hear. Blacks are on record saying "In my gut, I feel that McCain would be the best Candidate, but because Obama is black, that's who I'm voting for".

Winx...in my heart...and...in my soul...it will always be an issue...I was born and raised a Catholic...I NEVER miss church...I'm 53 years old and cannot change what I feel about this...I'm sorry...but...I just can't change...as far as changing Roe vs Wade...that's my intention at all...I just can't vote for someone who agrees with that decision...thats all...


I go to church too. My child goes to a Christian school.

This is how I look at it. Roe vs. Wade is not going to change within the next 4 yrs. There is a bigger picture here. People need jobs. The economy is in a recession.

I even see an connection here. It's a circle. Economy is good, people have jobs, people have an education - less abortions could happen.

I also don't agree with abortion. But..I feel that I don't have the right to make that choice for my neighbors.

My father said that Obama would be even farther ahead in the polls if he was white. And the fact that he is ahead and is black, says a lot about him.

I'm not looking for a job. But...the value of my house has dropped. I can't sell it right now. I look ahead 30 yrs. I have a kid.

I know, and my mind hasn't changed. He might endorse him, but he isn't brave enough to get out there and campaign for him.:laughing:

Notice, nobody said off topic. I might be on to something there.

If Obama really is a Fairy Angel sent from Heaven chosen to lead this Nation, what is all this talk really about? It should just happen right?

All hail thee Lord Obama, whatever he saith, he doeth.huh
