Are you describing yourself here?

Ill wait
Answer # 1, I voted for Douglas Wilder as governor of Virginia.

Answer # 2, my next door neighbor has been over on several occasions, As I have also been in her home, on several occasions, fixing her son's computer, another time in the middle of the night, armed protecting her niece from an intruder, (Who spent MANY years in jail for his actions). Just one of MANY people who are not white that I have had over in my home.

Additionally my daughter and son in law have had any number of people, of differing races, in my home MANY times.

Who is they?

I'd like to see the statistics on how many white males actually shifted from voting democrat to voting republican in the last few elections.

Is there even a correlation to these spurious claims?

Regardless, those white men are just behaving like blacks - so really, why are they being singled out?

You keep refusing to answer - why is it okay for blacks to vote on race (and this is well documented and openly admitted and advocated), but it isn't okay for whites to do the same? Even though I have yet to encounter a white person who has said they're voting for Romney based on race.

The most illogical thing about your whole argument is that it assumes everyone is ideologically aligned with Obama - since, in your opinion, the only people not voting for Obama are racists.

Strange, democrats lost with the last few white candidates, and finally won with the black one... Hmmmmm... Yet there is clearly a great deal of racism afoot.

My question is why you're a misogynist that didn't vote for Hillary Clinton.
nice post.

that deserves its own thread-did hillary lose to obama because male obama voters are misogynists?

or did liberals just pick the most liberal candidate they could find, with the backing of the media?

which is it?

Or some will vote for a change from Obama's borrow and spend. Of course that wont change but perhaps Romney will do less of it. Until both Major parties are cleaned out no change is possible. Those party hardliners who vote party line can't see past their party even for a second. The country be damned as long as their party is in power.

It doesn't matter. He will not believe you. He is stuck in his racist mind where whitey is the enemy. Very sad and I feel sorry for him.
