It's ironic that a man who is as equally as white as he is black conciously chooses to use race to divide a nation that he says he intends to unite.

This is why Barack Obama supporters are Abject and Shameless Losers....for turning a blind eye to the Nation Dividing this Administration has engaged in.

"Race card"?

You mean like the racists who lie about President Obama's citizenship and religion?

You mean the racist innuendoes about Food Stamps and black people having no work ethic?

You mean the racist posters and caricatures that have appeared at Tea Party rallies?


I guess you're right: whatever Republican is running, he will continue to use race, and racist tactics, to try to defeat our President.

As it has been proven MANY times not only here on this board, but also other places....

If you disagree with the policies of obama, you are racist....So what you say is not true.

He ain't got nothing else, so trump up the race card, worked once, maybe the sheep will buy it all again.
What are republicans going to run on? We nearly tanked the economy the last time, but we'll completely destroy it this time? Feudalism in 2012? Liberate North Korea? What exactly?

The Republicans are the only party that can take a strong economy and turn it into a depression. They can't even balance a budget when there's robust economic growth, and so now we're supposed to believe that they'll do better in an economic down cycle of their own making?

I see why Republicans argue for less government. If a party is that incompetent at running the country, it's only fitting that they come to the conclusion that government doesn't work. Except that it can work -- when you put the right people in office.

Newt will not be the GOP nominee, so I doubt race baiting will be brought up. Romney has pretty much avoided any racially charged comments, so no need to pull out the race card.

Now the Dems on the other hand, think black people are sub human and can not succeed in life without the help of rich white people. Until the Dems change their views on black people in America and consider them equals to whites, they will continue to use the race card.
Really, try dating their daughter and get back to us on how they do not care. You have really some strange ideas when it comes to the left and right, curious where you got them, because as a white man living in a conservative area, I can tell you that what you are percieving isn't correct or accurate. Why is it that I have a hard time believing that you are not white?

Swallowed that one hook, line and sinker, chuckee
Now show where anyone on this board has labeled anyone as a racist simply for disagreeing with President Obama, without having already made racist comments on this board. We will all be waiting with baited breath on your insightful reply. Should not take you long since as you say it is all over this board.

OKay, been there done that.. and plus live in a white conservative town in Central Illinois. Which of course seen far more racism in liberal Chicago.

Why do you have a hard time believing it, because of the prejudice placed upon you and your liberal mindset. you think all black people should think like you want them to think, you think that all black people should behave like you want them to behave, yet you think I have strange ideas.

Democrats claim that welfare reform is directly against black people, which means they think black people need welfare. They think black people need affirmative action to get a job, because they think we are not capable on our own.

Plus you have the fact that the Democrats voted against the civil rights bill, created the KKK, were pro slavery, do we need to go on?


Besides, I thought you were going to ignore my posts, because you don't like me pointing out racist ideology in your posts like the thinking black people are all exactly the same.
