Liberals attacking black conservatives

The list of ridiculous reasons people voting for Obama goes on.
Oh, get over it!

Face FACTS! The GOP simply failed MISERABLY to present a ticket that appeared good for the country in both the 2008 and 2012 elections. Stop trying to excuse the GOP's lackluster candidates with someone else's race.

When a media does this and a politician tells you reject voices that warn against it,.. take a good hard look. Too bad the Germans didn't wake up in time. No-one, and I mean no-one, from any party should be looked at and promoted as like this.

When too few hold too much power it will always be abused.
Awwwwwww always someone as you willing to admit to the truth. I have friends from both races who stopped believing in him some as of two years ago.

I have never gotten into it with them, as to why, their choice, they can live with their decision, except their decision, as one couple mention to me, effects all of us. And the one couple who believed so much in him, told me that they got caught up in the frenzy. And they can admit they were taken for a ride.

The one friend flat told me, when you stop believing in a person, you no longer trust this person, it makes you think. But I believe for the most part, even some family members who voted for him, they just are no longer happy with him. And the way he thinks he is superior to most. That he is able to change the law to suit his needs, and that he can do whatever the frig he wants. Is plain wrong, and his supporters and the ***** media, helped him feel this way.

He had an agenda, and by gosh, does not take a genius to figure this out, and he is getting his wish.

Believe me Obama is no one's savior but himself.

Exactly...funny how certain people constantly play the race card but don't see it. Perhaps the GOP would have won if they weren't so focused on his race and paid more attention to the issues and the needs of Americans.

The unsaid is the said.

Ask anyone skilled in language. Well, except for Noam Chompsky, that is.

"Whenever I take up a newspaper and read it, I fancy I see ghosts creeping between the lines." —Henrik Ibsen, 1881

Chompsky and Ben Carson should get together on this.

Many people who voted for Obama do not support his views anymore. Why?

Surely, you jest.

They never knew what his views were in the first place. If they vaguely heard something, they didn't understand it.

0bama voters aren't exactly intellectual pillars.

Congress REFUSES to work with Obama but you know that, right?

But I see you still refuse to address the issue of the lousy opponents Obama faced and prefer the easy 'race' way out.

It is simple really. Many conservatives are afraid of the changes they have to make to make their party viable in the future. As such they work hard to find something, anything, to avoid that reality whether it is blaming voters, arguing they need more of the white vote etc. The excuses are a shield against the reality that they are becoming a minority party.
