Really?? And you are basing your opinion from what is going on in Atlanta only?? Have you been to other parts of the country to come to that conclusion?? I really think a few discontented whites are trying to make a tempest in a teapot, (Tea Partyers, etc.)A few ultra-conservative radicals does not a whole electorate make.

All the blacks that I know hate him, so I guess if he gets re elected, they will still hate him......if he loses, they will be happy, just like the rest of us non-delusional Americans.

So, in your OP, you were asking a rhetorical question? It seems you've already decided in your head what "they" will do. Seriously, you need to get out into the world (Bear will be fine w/o you for a while) and mingle more with non-whites (the majority of human race) - befriend a few. It doesn't hurt, really.

One would think that once that 'car' was outta the ditch, they would have backed away from the cliff. Instead, they put the pedal to the metal and now the car has no gas and the tires are blown out.
That's the problem with the two parties at present. Their solid monopoly, often in collusion(sp?)with one another, really doesn't give Americans much of a choice. They both support senseless wars, they both are in the pockets of powerful special interest lobbyists, they both have bad spending records. So, when is the American public going to say, ENOUGH!, I'm voting for anyone except a Dem or GOP. Until that happens, they can both keep bouncing off one another's poor decisions. I don't agree with the guy that won't vote. All qualified Americans need to vote, but it will be a very looooooooooong time before I vote either ticket again.

Radio, TV programs, etc. along with casual conversations I have had dont paint a pretty picture. The responses vary from the mild to the extreme but those extreme views are truly frightening.
they're just gonna cry foul...same way some white folks(not all) did after they got up after falling off of their chairs in '08...

I guess you and I live on a different planet. On my planet, voter intimidation is not legal. I live on a planet in which I would not imagine that a thug with a weapon would question me about my voting intentions prior to entering the polling place.

Of course, liberals love tyranny, so I can see why they would have no problem with the Black Panther issue. There was no problem with the Brown Shirts in Germany either (they were only having fun). As noted above, I am sure that the Klan standing in front of a polling place with weapons asking about voter preference would be fine as well.

Liberal insanity at its finest.
Nazism is the far RIGHT, not left, that would be communism, the polar opposite of Nazism. Comparing liberals to nazism is grossly inaccurate, but comparing Tea Party participants, that would be an apt comparison.

From what Sharron Angle has been saying, it's the (ultra) conservatives we'll have to worry about if they don't get their way in November and possibly 2012.

You have shown yourself to be a partisan regardless of whatever nonsense you have said about NOT voting for Republicans or Democrats for a loooooooooong time.

Open a newspaper or look at any political website and check out a little thing called an "approval rating". I come to my conclusions not from living in a major metropolitan area like Atlanta but from being informed as to the mood of the voting electorate of this country. The community organizer in chief will be a one termer!

Whats next you gonna claim that the Democrats are gonna pick up seats in the House & Senate this November.
