Un-official poll President (Boston, Brockton, Clinton: insurance, preschool, to live in)

[scarletfire]

What has she done to create a wedge? For starters, discounting African-American voters as voting only based on race; trying to pit African Americans against Hispanic immigrants over jobs; and most recently though this last point can't be proven, we're hearing smears & lies about Barack's position on Israel in Jewish communities. Nasty stuff.

I find it extremely disconcerting that the media has been particularly vile where Hillary is concerned, while elevating Obama almost to the level of a saint. There's a lot of misogyny circulating out there:

When has she done any of this? As for Hispanic immigrants taking African American jobs--I'm sorry, but this is absolutely true in terms of African Americans who search for jobs requiring unskilled labor. It happened to a student of mine who is African American. He applied for a job as a maintenance worker--in an attempt to earn money to move himself out of his dangerous neighborhood and into a decent living space. He was told that he couldn't have the job because he doesn't speak Spanish. And it happens all the time. Sorry, but that's just wrong.

John McCain 10 13.89%
Mitt Romney 15 20.83%
Hillary Clinton 20 27.78%
Barack Obama 27 37.50%

Based on City-data poll, Romney and Obama should have won.

You know the real result...

Thank you for all those participated.

now THAT really pisses me off big time! This is the freaking United States of America! We speak ENGLISH here. These people really should be forced to learn English like my grandparents had to or go back where they speak Spanish! This bothers me no end. It just is not right and no one seems to care about making the immigrants (never mind the illegals) learn the language of this country! If someone can not speak English, they have no right expecting AMERICANS to speak their language! WTH is going on with this country? When did it get so freaking wishy washy and bent over for everyone except their own????

I assume you know we don't have an official language here in the states.
