I just hope they get a big turn out. Libertarian, Green, write in, whatever.

I want these two big parties that turn their backs on most middle class Americans to lose because they stabbed their base in the back

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?
By your logic, black men are even more racist than white men, considering how overwhelmingly they are voting for Obama.

I am voting 3rd party. Was going to vote for Ron Paul. But am going to vote for Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate. Ron Paul got the message out there, and were he running as an independent he would more than likely have my vote.

I'm starting to get where that is coming from.

I've never seen so much tribalism from these low IQ whites that make up the GOP base.

The Muslim claims, the birther smears, the socialist smears.

I just hope minorities will not be as cruel to us as we've been to them.

For God sakes it's 2012 and the GOP is trying to limit their voting rights.
Look around friend, you'll see that even this thread probably has at least one posting on it.

The only thing I can think of is: they think I'm going to try and "get even". It's really a scene to watch. They can't hide their feelings neither. Some of them don't even realize that they are displaying them. They lose all composure. It's quit sad to see.
I experience this as well. I also see my white counterparts react totally different to discipline and performance when the person they are dealing with is black. They are always much more aggressive toward the black employees. They seem to always see salvageable qualities in the white employees. When challenged the look they give says it all. I wonder what they say when I'm not there

Some people say that the 2 parties need to work together, but when they do we get Patriot Act renewals; bailouts for big business;Citizen United still being in full effect; NDAA and the continuation of the eternal holy crusade.

We need more cats like Ron Paul & Denny to rein this duopoly in.

2 sides of the same coin my friend.

Totally agree.

Good luck.

Thanks. You as well.

No one appreciates racism. No matter how you play it. In fact, no one appreciates deciding the American people as this president has.
