The article is correct. Everyone who is saying that voting FOR a black candidate because they are black is the same as voting AGAINST a black candidate because they are black are, quite simply, dumb. Race is huge in this election, point-blank, end-of-story. Sorry all you starry-eyed secretly racist romantics out there.
These people need to wake up and smell the coffee; how many people aren’t going to vote for Obama for some reason that seems a little extraneous? Any excuse not to because he’s black.
Worse still, Obama doesn’t play the same games his fellow politicians do. He tells it like it is. Small-town voters ARE bitter because of neglect, and they DO focus on fringe issues just to feel important. Gas taxes are retarded idea and hurt the consumer more than help, even the most cursory bit of economic knowledge will indicate such. People whine and moan about how no politician tells them the truth, and the second one puts it in their face, they condemn him for it.
Why?
No one tells them the truth because for the most part they’re too dumb to process it.
Don’t take my word on it…
Count the number of Democrats who are voting for McCain now, just because Hillary didn’t win. We can file them all under the ‘legally retarded’ bin.
Let’s count the number of sheep who parrot whatever the media says about whatever candidate. Without checking out Obama’s past record in state government, or politics in general—as opposed to just national politics—they’ll just off and say ‘yeah, he’s inexperienced, he knows nothing,’ despite the fact that Hillary’s voting record really isn’t much better than ‘no experience.’
I want to believe in people and all of that jazz, but face facts: Americans vote from the gut. There are many who have very racist feelings in that gut, and they’ll use whatever excuse they want to justify them…
…that said…
I hope Obama wins in ’08, because I do believe he can lead this country in the right direction.
