Here we go again with the "if you are black, how can you not vote Democrat?" crap. Or "if you're gay, how can you not vote Democrat?" Geezus, people. You are aware that there are more issues on the table besides race and marriage, etc? Issues that might actually affect people's daily lives more?

I'm not black, but I can respect anyone who votes on the issues most important to him and his daily life and future.

"Obamabot" is a generalization that implies that those supporting Obama are somehow brainwashed and see their candidate as infallible.

It's why you also see references like "The Messiah", "The One", blah blah blah. A similar generalization would be "Bible-thumping, beer-swilling NASCAR fan" for a Republican.

It's easier for some people to argue against imagined stereotypes than admit that people's opinions and beliefs are a lot more sophisticated and complicated than silly identifiers.

It's debate for 3rd graders.

No, you must have forgotten...barry hates the United States, just ask his preacher, the infamous Anti-American racist jeremiah wright. Oh wait a minute...barry didn't hear any of wright's sermons in the 20 years he attended the church. Anyway...barry believes in his own personal constitution...that which supports the rights of terrorists and racists, is against the sanctity of human life and oh yes...let us not forget the most important amendment in barry's constitution...taking from those who work and giving to those who don't and the sanctity of the great and almighty handout.

Look, it is very profitable to be black and in the Republican party these days.

They don't overlook them. Just like Obama, they don't have an issue associating with radicals like Wright, Meeks, Pfleger, Khalidi. In fact I'm sure most of them agree with these people.
