Why vote for Obama?

[rickt300]

It is interesting that from the previous posts you pick out RACE to argue about, I guess you feel the rest is true.

Well, that's what got presented.

Listen - I detest it when folks use bogus accusations of racism! racism! racism! to shut down discussion, or put stink on somethink unrelated, or make some things off-limits. But let's be honest - a lot of the opposition to Obama gets phrased in racial terms, and has clear racial motivation. Before you get your panties in a wad, that don't mean someone can't oppose the man without being labeled a Klukker... it just means that a lot of conservatives out there have got some racial anger and hangups with seem to be a big chunk of their motivation.
 
But when you see posts talking about halfrican, and his wife as Negress... you gotta wonder. Mebbe they just think themselves clevah?

The problem with Obama is that even though he is a halfbreed he continues to draw on his Black heritage to get votes which is racist. He also is such a poor example of a Black man that he appeals to the lowest common denominator. Hence a lot of people who previously rarely used the N word now feel it is very appropriate to label Obama with it. Then we have those so stuck in the Party line politics that they would vote for Attilla the Hun if he ran for president as a Democrat. Republicans and Libertarians are a bit more open minded and willing to vote for the better choice.

Racist? That's silly.

perhaps they appreciate that they can call him a N-----, and feel justified in doing so instead of ashamed of theyselves?

True; we got religious voters voting for the Mormon, instead of the Christian, because the Mormon is a Repub (and they pretend the Dem is a - GASP! - Mooslim)

Republicans and Libertarians are a bit more open minded and willing to vote for the better choice.

Guilty - I'm votin' Johnson!
