I voted for McCain in 2008, and while it is your American right to say the above, you sir are not a true American with a statement like that.

Wait...

That was in 2004.

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist,
You'll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot.
If you voted against him because you're a racist, you'll have another chance to get it right next time.

I voted for the American who won. And it wasn't even close.

Then why didn't you just use Obama's name and not generic "black guy"?

Obama was born in the United States, McCain was born in Panama.

i agree with you: my view is and has always been since my parents explained voting to me when I was a little kid: it is our duty to vote in all elections. For those who choose not to, that is fine, but they should never say one word about how the city, state or country is being run.

I guess sometimes I live in a tunnel even if I am a political junkie. Actually I do think I have seen it before.

The person I voted for is a natural born citizen. Not someone that had to doctor a birth certificate.

I hope that we will remember this next November.


Best post of the week!

Seems to be more an example about the failings of affirmative action.
