no, but the liberals won't do anything to get them off the streets. most panhandlers are drug addicts, not mental cases. let's not forget the the panhandling guitar playing hippie that is allowed to beg on the streets. that really makes for a comfortable experience. reagan? what does he have to do with anything? did I say I was a reagan supporter? hell no! he didn't slash enough federal programs.

I don't need your definition to anything. this was a response to someone who had misused the term "racist." I know exactly what the word means. I have no problem with people voting. I have a problem with agendas. bringing in someone to vote for "your guy." that gets annoying.

So, to rephrase, is it bigoted to vote for a black person just because they are black? Answer no. But it is bigoted to vote against someone because they are black (or white).
Voting for someone because you see it as a good thing isn't bigoted. It is only when you vote against someone that it becomes bad. I'm not voting for McCain because McCain is (in my opinion) the worst choice for a country in peril, not because he's white.
Who would have thought that people would actually be against bring in first time voters in America? Geesh, what are we coming to in this country.
but you claimed that most mixed people called themselves black. I have never heard that from anyone.

There are entirely too many white racists in America in general, as well as the South and rural parts of America particularly, for Obama to ovecome. Obama is good for America and can get the country out of its current situation; but, although there are many color-blind whites, there are far too many white Americans who cannot see past skin color. Republicans will deny it, and others will refuse to admit it, but it is the sad the truth.
For every racist white I'll raise you a racist black. Dumbo followed one for 20 years and it cost him in spades. Say g'nite Dumbo.

Please, you have to be hiding under a rock to know that the South is not the powder keg of black white racism in the US (compared to other parts of the US).
If not, then why was the ad that was used against Harold Ford in 2006 (the almost nude blonde white girl who said "I met Harold at the playboy party!") cost him the election in the race against Crocker (or whoever his GOP opponent was)?
Obama doesn't need the South, except for Virginia, and that's if he doesn't win Colorado.
