I have many friends and some family members who simply will not vote for Obama because he's black. Nothing else matters to them.

Let's see how that goes over with this important demographic down the stretch.
Of course that's a complete falsehood.

If you have insurance, it already paid for things like mammograms and checkups...many already pay for contraception.

ONLY those who worked for Catholic organizations were denied contraception and abortion coverage...not mammograms or checkups.

And Romney only said he'd reverse forcing Catholics organizations to provide what their faith objects to.

Besides....Planned Parenthood and other organizations would give women contraception anyhow.



PS: What the heck does this have to do with this thread anyhow?

I read a poll that claimed that only 3% of the voters don't vote for him because he's black. I think that number is very low.

This isn't a racial thread......

In case you don't read well, Obama couldn't have been elected without those whites that voted for him last time. Those same people didn't suddenly become racists - they knew what the color of his skin was when they voted for him.

It's just NOW, they have seen his policies and know his record.

Sounds like my sister, who never developed critical thinking skills and just absorbs the viewpoint of FOX.

During the run-up to the Iraq War, she accepted the Bush WH's view 100% and couldn't understand that anyone could think that the invasion of Iraq might not be a good idea and that the claims might be baloney.

In 2008, she was so afraid that Obama was going to pass radical Socialist policies and Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright were going to influence national policy. As some of us knew in 2008, the GOP fear mongering about those individuals was, as Mark Twain would say, "exaggerated."
