Yeah, tolerant of racist idiocy. Why don't you "tolerate" our position on stupidity and stop talking.
No. I'm enjoying this too much.

This is exactly what you have failed to realize Bush's Iraq/Afganistan wars have been a poorly planned and executed disaster ( not our troops who have performed bravely, the politicians)

No real exit strategy, long term goals defined, nation building, etc...

Obama has continued this mistake and is still sending cash to Pakistan (another huge mistake) if from where you sit it's capitulation to Republicans it's Obama's choice.

Time for your candidate to man up, if you want to see other policies that suck there's plenty posted in City-Data forums.

Continuing a failed idea and/or a course of action isn't exactly a hallmark of success.

Maybe you can delve into the current economy and unemployment rate while you're at it.

I don't see Obama as a failed President because he's black. With black unemployment double the national average you have to wonder why HE MADE EVERYTHING BUT JOB CREATION his agenda. He's just another failed President because he's a Harvard puppet doing his masters bidding, much the same as the eight Presidents prior to him had done. Kennedy was the last President to break from the masters chains, and we all know what happened to him. Reagan nearly followed him but survived and quickly got back into line.

None of us know exactly who pulls the strings but we certianly know it isn't the President.

His race has nothing to do with why he is failing. His "Fundamental Transformation" of our country is why he is failing and going to lose this election unless ACORN cheats enough votes to keep him in power.

Our Constitution is our package of Fundamentals and this most peculiar president wants to change it, to say the least.

That is the most ignorant reason to vote for anyone based on color, religion, etc, separate those things, and vote for the most qualified candidate, not his color, grow the hek up.
I have voted for both party's in my lifetime, not stricly one, usually whom i truly feel is the best candiate, and if not happy with this person, a second time go round, don't vote for him

I am a one party gal now. NOW if you truly feel the person your voting for of color is the best candidate that is a reason to vote for him, but if truly just because of his color, and no other reason, what the hell is up with that. Believe in the candidate you vote for, for no other reason, then this sucky, downhill, draining, in the toilet, tanking so bad, economy.

So you are saying that black racism is acceptable while white racism is not?

3. Well he's for the working class. Hmmm the millions he accepted from big business would say otherwise.
4. He supports abortion. Hmmm one has to wonder if that is the biggest issue we have to worry about.
5. He is anti-abortion. Hmmmmm
6. He's going to tax the rich. No he will tax everyone.
Why did each individule black voter that voted for Obama vote for him?
I am 100% sure only the individule would know.
If the reason was simply because he is black I am sad for this nation.
Excellent post TM

So basically:
It's ok to vote for Obama due to his skin color.
It's NOT ok to vote for a white candidate simply for that reason.

I remember hearing people (back in 2008) call white mccain supporters racist. -_-. But it was OK for a gaggle of blacks to stand on the corner and shout 'obama' and hand out poorly photo copied black & white pictures of him? I work in down town Philly. I saw a lot of this crap in 2008. It made me mad, too, because I was actually an Obama supporter.
