However, race isn't an excuse for poor performance. Once you're in the big chair, you have the job to do and the country will hold you to it...even if you're a minority. We won't keep a poor performer as president to meet a quota.

With all due respect, most of the POTUS do "only average". Not one is actually better than the other. "we" love to take shots at our political leaders but no matter what side of the fence you're on, they're not going to work miracles. IF you want to get their attention, all voters should stop voting, then that'll get their attention and then they'll start working together.

As long as Americas think one party is better than the other, the tom-foolery will continue.


They are laughing at us!

Racism and biggotry cuts over all lines and all walks of life...Too bad libs think they need to keep bringing the race issue into every debate..
Where do I get the idea? Try post #26

There is truth to that...and alot will vote for him because he's not Obama. Not because of race, but they aren't happy with the way the country has been managed for the last 4 years. I'm not enthused about him, but will probably vote for Romney, just because I think he has some idea of what this country needs. He comes across as much more of a leader than Obama, rather than someone that just has to blame others. I'm not happy with his position on supporting rebels in the ME, or abortion rights. I'll hold my nose and go with the lesser two evils. And hope he actually does better for the next 4 years. It's equally true that many will vote for Obama simply because he IS black.

Fox News talking points?

You'll realize it one day, you're just a pawn to get into office again. America caree more about overseas than America. Welfare and food stamps won't stop under Romney and no one is gonna work those 8 dollar a hour jobs which is what Romney will create especially in big cities.

So your problem still isn't fixed.

You're right about that. We're all pawns, and it's all about money! Which is exactly why I'm not voting for either! Both parties are playing us for fools! If more people actually stopped playing "the lesser of two evils" game then the politicians might actually have to do their job, and do what is in the best interest of ALL AMERICANS!

So now I have to wonder how does this same attitude play out in everyday life? if these men will not support anyone but their own race then should minorities be the same way? I knew there was plenty of racism in the GOP but now I have to wonder is it just the GOP and the tea party or is it much wider and deeper than that?
Typical lib "racist" accusations. People are not voting for Obama again because he is incompetent, not because he is black.Blacks and Hispanics already vote nearly 100% democratic. They are the "racists", as they seem to vote for someone based on color alone.

Now are you suggesting that black politicians are somehow inferior and should not he held to the same standards as white politicians? If you criticize policy of Obama, no matter how bad, is it always racist? This seems what you are implying.


PS- Farrakahn is the biggest racist on the planet. Who cares what he thinks?
