OK - just checking. How 'bout this. If Al Sharpton is right - that blacks Can't be racists because they have no POWah, then if Obama gets elected, does that mean we got a whole bunch of new racists? I have a follow up question, but it involves the Irish so nobody will care about that one. So, to prove I’m not racist, I have to vote for a black person. OK – just checking. How ’bout this.

Obama and today’s liberal leftist Democrats are using the very same tactics that the communists used . . . so much so that you must call them what they really are – Socialists! It was comrade Vladimir Lenin himself who said “A lie told often enough soon becomes the truth.”Is this not what the Democrats and their lapdog allies the MSM do each and every day?

I sense a lot from the left that they are going to lose. My UAW dad thinks it and I sense it from all these celeb supporters with their PALIN attacks and on the lefty blogs. They try to put of a good front but you can see they are afraid. You still see some of that on the right but Palin was a shot in the arm after Obama made a very anti-climatic VP choice. So the MSM is already trying to pull the race card, this shows they are desperate. The public know the MSM are Obama are cheerleaders and are already losing trust in the newspapers as subscriptions continue to decline. What is this called….COVERING THEIR ASSES.

I shudder to think that the same people who tell me that <i>would</i> happily vote for a forked-tongue, pretty-boy, blame-America-first, socialist-elitist, Mustafa-Mond wannabe who happened to have less melanin. Because to a person, I know they would, just because of a party label. These "Dummo-crats for McCain" do little credit to either side. If they want to do the right thing for the wrong reason, we'll all be better off--but it still makes me sad.

You prove it in your statement, "But the elephant on the table is that he is of a different race, and folks don’t want to admit that his race affects how they will vote." This premise is also a presumption, supported by nothing more than what you 'feel' is true. Like JohnMG expressed in the post above, I know exactly what I think and where I stand on the issues. I don't need to "find any reason I can to say why I'll not vote for Obama this year". When the Democrats put up a candidate that doesn't hate God, Freedom and America, I'll consider voting 'D'.

Let me ask a few questions of you. Are you a socialist? I don't like socialists so I won't vote for you. Are you pro-abortion? I am pro-life, so I won't vote for you. Are you anti-gun? I am pro-second amendment, so I won't vote for you. Are you for higher taxes? I want to keep what I earned, so I won't vote for you. Are you anti-military? I am a Viet Nam veteran, so I won't vote for you. So I guess if you believe in all of the above-mentioned positions, and you happen to be black, then I'm a racist, right? My feelings don't count, right? Sorry for the confusion this may have caused for you, but maybe, just maybe, I won't vote for Obama because I don't like him or what he stands for. Sheesh!

Let me ask a few questions of you.

Are you a socialist? I don’t like socialists so I won’t vote for you.
Are you pro-abortion? I am pro-life, so I won’t vote for you.
Are you anti-gun? I am pro-second amendment, so I won’t vote for you.
Are you for higher taxes? I want to keep what I earned, so I won’t vote for you.
Are you anti-military? I am a Viet Nam veteran, so I won’t vote for you.

So I guess if you believe in all of the above-mentioned positions, and you happen to be black, then I’m a racist, right? My feelings don’t count, right?

Sorry for the confusion this may have caused for you, but maybe, just maybe, I won’t vote for Obama because I don’t like him or what he stands for.

Sheesh! A body shouldn’t have to explain this.

I noticed that, unlike the thread's article, this new "finding" was reached by asking one simple question: "Are you voting for Barack Obama because he is black?" No questions like, "What do you like best about Obama's platform?" or "What do you think Obama brings to the national contest that other Democrats do not?" I guess Hampton thinks it would be racist to ask black people hard questions. SG – great follow-up article.
