So it has already began As I suspected it would. Everywhere you look On Politico, on Yahoo's front page on real clearpolitics, People are whining are moaning that perhaps could lose because of racism. Everywhere on the blogs I frequent there is gnashing of teeth about how Obama should be doing much better in the polls and the reason he isn't is because of race
Meanwhile as I walk Out the door and Get My Cleveland Plain dealer There is A big front page
story about How Mccain is up 48 to 42 in Ohio.. and they break the poll numbers down by race and get this Obama is up 98% to 0% among the black vote YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT MCCAIN IS POLLING 0% OF THE BLACK VOTE
Let Obama stand on his merits. Isn't that what Dr. King meant when he said "I dream of a time when a man will be judged on his character and not on the color of his skin." Why can't liberal diehards follow Dr. King's wishes? Or, do they think we should run an "affirmative action" election, discriminating against whites?
I already know what people responses are gonna be African Americans already Overwhelmingly go for the democrat..Fine Ill concede that point what about in the Democratic primaries where you had 2 candidates very close on all the major issues and you go into Phildeldelphia county An Obama gets 92% of the black vote can you people honestly tell me people were voting for Obama's health care plan
There is no doubt that people in every nationality are kinda clannish and they tend to vote for their own folks and there is nothing wrong with it is natural I don't have a problem with
98% of the African American vote going for Obama because he is one of them, but I don't have a problem with white people saying you know what were going with Mccain because he
he is one of Us
With all that said, if the race vote provides McCain's margin of victory, I'll take the win. Who says a little evil can't be used to do some good. :-)
I'm not troubled by my position at all because the same thing worked against my 2006 candidate for Governor of OH and Swann in PA and i didn't hear not ONE democrat complaining about racism then
I kind of understand what your getting at here Golden Boy, you are angry because some Obama supporters are voting saying that Obama could lose because of Racism, but at the same time If blacks vote overwelmingley for Obama people don't say they are voting out of race. first off all yeah the a lot of blacks support Obama because of his race that should be of no suprise to anyone
given all the struggles Black Americans have faced I'm sure a lot of them want to see one of them as president,people vote for people who are like, them catholics vote for catholics, blacks vote for blacks, southerners vote for southerners its just the way it works.
one of the reasons you didn't hear democrats complaining about racism in 06 in Ohio
and PA is because both Blackwell and Swan where Republicans,why would Democrats defend Republican candidates Democrats are going to look out for there candidates intrests just as republicans are going to look out for there candidates. I think racism is an issue anytime
you have black candidate or hispanic running for office, I think it would effect some people's votes.
If Obama losses I can't see how people won't say racism could be the reason why given how
toxic this environment is for republicans any democrat should win this election,If the Dem's
somehow blow this people are going to look for a reason why racism would at least make sense.
