Will that make you respond to your own damn thread topic beyond a one sentence snippet? ;)

Oh...you was waiting for me to respond to the craptastic thread I started?

Naw...I was having more fun watching you all...

No.

But since you jumped in for nothing, I am asking why you have no profundities to share. ;)

Mine was at the very beginning!

but...a few random thoughts:

I was listening to baisden's show yesterday and he asked a white caller why he would vote for Obama **BTW DST did you hear that** and he his reply was that Obama was refreshing, clean looking, and very articlulate...and I had a Chris Rock flashback.

What was odd (and to a point not surprising) was that the caller never really mentioned anything about Barack's platform and if whether or not he agreed with it...

IMO, it's just as bad as if a Black person votes for Barack simply based on the fact that he is Black.

So even I wonder if they know what and why they will vote for him IF they vote for him.

so....there's the rub. White men will not, repeat will not, vote for Mrs. Clinton. Democratic white men are voting for Obama instead. If Mrs. Clinton is the Democrats' nominee, they'll vote Republican. If Obama is, they'll have to make another decision, but we don't know what it will be until all the votes are counted.

So, is race still a factor moreso than gender?

ETA: What I find even more of a cunundrum is a question of how conservative Repubs are going to vote. From what I have been hearing is that they hate McCain so much that if it comes right down to it, they will "spite vote" Hillary in just to keep McCain out of office. So, what is the plan if Obama is nominated? He is pro life, anti spending, a war hero and so on....what more can they want? I see a hard decision for many come November regardless of which way the Dems nominate.

Oh Zeus and Hera, no! The man's as nuttier than Ron Paul.

Yeah. That's something to be proud of. :rolleyes:

Just out of curiousity, who would you guys rather have than McCain? Romney?

Most of the people I've known who wouldn't vote for a woman for President are equally sure that they wouldn't vote for an African American either (or probably anybody of color). But, I don't think any of them have ever voted for a Democrat either. Anecdotal, yes.

SEC and PhiGam


you know what...don't vote...and while you are at it....you may want to pick up a paer or 2 and read about the violence going on in Kenya because ofthose that exercised their right to vote....

If that is not enough to make yo to put a foot out the door to exercise something that you don't have to worry about dying to do then do me this one favor:

When November rolls around and the person you would have picked (but you dididn't abstained from voting) please do the following

a. Abstain from whining and bitching in administarive policy
b. take up arms and protest
c. get mad and any changes or reforms
d, In the case a riot on the scale of Kenya just happens to take place, as the mob passes your house, please refrain from picking up any torches and pitchforks and joining in.

I know that I have fams that fought, been beaten (and one was denied actually) and got jailed to get the right to vote in this country so I will be there regardless of who the nominee is...there is such a thing as a write in!
