Again, the race card has been played. Mr. Obama pointing out his (partial) race during a speech in Missori, explaining how he looks different than the other presidents on all "those dollar bills (Umm, Mr. Obama, there is only 1 president's face on all dollar bills. Umm, just Washington's face, if memory serves). If he thinks it is to his advantage that he looks different that George Washington, or any other president, on any paper money, shame on him and to everyone who considers voting for him just because he's different. For God's sake, we've been admonished for years from doing anything against anyone that looks different than we do. Now, he uses it to his advantage? Why not vote for a cripple? Why not vote for a blind candidate? He'd be different. Why not an albino? Why not the fattest, baldest, palest woman with a wart at the tip of her nose? If his angle is, "vote for me because I'm different," how about you haven't spent even 200 hours on the Senate floor working...that's different enough, isn't it? Hell, if that's what make someone a good candidate, vote for me! I haven't spent a single hour on the senate floor. I have all my hair....I look different than George Washington, too!
You simply cannot get away from the race issue in this country.
About a week ago, I was bored and turned on the television and landed on ABC's The Mole. The contestants were asked to pick who they trusted amongst their other fellow contestants. In an individual conversation with the female doctor, who is black, she clearly stated her choice as being the only remaining black, a man, because they were of the same race and "he's my brother." Seriously? Is the only reason blacks trust any other individual is that they, too, are black? Ridiculous. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe that about any rational, intelligent being.
But, if the polls are correct, that, in fact, must be true. A recent poll showed that whites in America were almost equally split between McCain and Obama. But, blacks overwhelmingly, by almost 90%, support Obama. That more than likely shows that blacks support Obama
only because he is black. Again, ridiculous.
I wonder if Jeffrey Dahmer's white neigbors in Milwaukee ever chose Jeffrey to be their trusted neighbor only because of his color? Forget about the part where he was eating their kids. "He's white, I trust him." Bullshit.
If you cast your vote based soley on a candidate's race or creed, then you are no less the bigot than the man who hates others based simply on his race or creed (see the KKK) and you should never cast a vote for anyone. Period. End of today's story.

shows what you know. We did a poll of all 57 states, and found that of all the presidents on dollar bills, none of them had served longer than the usual ten years. And none of them looked like each other. But I digress. Don't go touting your candidate because she has a mole. She does. But that doesn't make Hillary special. The fact that she beat obama in the popular vote, but he weaseled the unpopular vote away from her and thus the presidency. All that sstands in his way now is an elderly white man and he could kick his ass easy. And honkey, you might just be next.
are we down to posting once a month now?
