"IS IT REASONABLE to simply assume that the majority of America will ACCEPT a President who won as the result of racism???" Posted by truthyness

Seeing as how the 92% of the "Black" vote constitutes no where near the majority of voters, the answer to your rather ludicrous question is no, it is not a reasonable assumption.

There would have to be an almost even split in the "White" vote in order for Mr. Obama to win, so if "White" voters, together with "Black" voters send Mr. Obama to the White House, that would indicate only that recidivists racists like yourself, who still, 40 years later, cannot as Dr. King dreamed, see past the color of the skin, and to the content of the character."

"Analysis: Alice-In-Wonderland Politics"

When Lewis Carroll wrote the original story, it was a editorial parody of the socio-political aspects of society in his day.

That it is compared to modern-day politics only illustrates the inability of politicians and their supporters to learn and evolve.

Leaving Barack Obama aside,it is highly erroneous to assume that a person who had started with little money could never be an elitist.Lot of individuals with such background become elitists as a means compensation for their deprived past.Moreover,would anybody out of an Ivy League school be anything other than a supercilious snob?Only a few manage to do so. Maybe Barack Obama is one of them.

LoL SgtRDS at 06:46 PM...and cursing like a cantankerous - well you fill in the blanks.

Theres an old Robert Redford movie called "The Candidate".

In it theres a phrase--
Change you can believe in.

The movie was intended to show how mindless campaigning can be.

Hence the very similar dogma--JUST LIKE Barak.

30 years ago it was funny and entertaining.

Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.

Snap out of it america!!!

This is an issue that should be faced now instead of later.

With Obama getting 92% of the Black vote, any win by him will be perceived as being the result of Racism.

IS IT REASONABLE to simply assume that the majority of America will ACCEPT a President who won as the result of racism???

This is the assumption but has anyone actually checked his IQ? I saw the other day that he did not do that great in grade school or high school either for that matter. Like barely getting by.

You don''t graduate magna *** laude from Harvard law school and get to be president of the Harvard Law Review with a mediocre mind.

[myshiba]

Obama is to weak to be President. Period. End of story.

Image is everything. Imagine this: no lies, no manipulations, no smoke-up-the-as*, no double-edged rhetoric, no insincerity, no not-caring because it''s your problem, no smile in your face/knife in your back images, anymore because, frankly, we''re tired of it and know it all for what it really is.

After downing some shots and beer chasers (all the while spitting tobacco juice in the spittoon at the end of the honky tonk bar)and playing a couple games of pool, expect to see Hillary climb up into the drivers seat of her 18 wheeler, pull a Camel from the pack she has rolled up in her t-shirt sleeve and motor down the road toward the next rest stop while listening to Hank Williams cheatin'' songs. Yee haw! She''s jus'' plain ol'' folks like ya''ll!

[sgtrds]

It''s just too dam*n hilarious that Hillary has $100 million in the bank and houses full of servant and yet she''s trying to portray Barack as elitist while she''s jus'' plain folks! What a joke! The voters will see right through that scam. As the title of this article says, she''s in wonderland. She''s about as a person of the people as Donald Trump!

Politicians always pander to the public. "You can have everything and we won''t raise taxes." McCain and Clinton are wrong on the gas tax, but the "average" American won''t get it because critical thinking is not the domain of the average American any longer. Let''s elect someone smarter than us, not a regular knucklehead to have a beer with at the local dive. What''s wrong with electing someone like Obama with an obviously high intellect? Do we want someone again like Bush who can''t understand anything but sure can speak like a grade schooler? Bush and dumb politicians are an embarrassment to the U.S. and don''t get great things done.

I believe that Gloria Borger is the one who''s out of touch. Either that, or CNN and CBS have demanded that Ron Paul is not mentioned. YES...he is in the race. And it was Ron Paul who introduced the gas tax relief program. NOT McCain. Get a grip CNN and CBS. I''m about to turn you OFF!

If people in relationships over a period of twenty years remained close, we wouldn''t have more than 50% of our marriages ending in divorce. It''s obvious: people get together for certain reasons, things happen, circumstances change, they grow apart, have differing world views and goals, and, all of this is called ''irreconcilable differences.''
If voters reject Barack Obama because of Reverend Wright, and choose, instead, a confirmed liar and manipulator of the ''blue collar'' ''less educated'' voters, they will deserve the President this Country gets next January.
Go Barack!

[kmiles8176]

It''s Obama , or Oh'' more troubled times. You make the call. And as for Rev Wright, the last time I looked Obama and Wright were two different people with two different mouths. If Wright eats a sandwhich does Obama get full? I think not! No man,(oh woman) should be held accountable for the comments of another person, Period!

[samthetvcat]

I like Gloria Borger and Candy Crowley . . . they have such good insight

:)

[wikkidinsane]

I agree with Deward. All this does is tickle the consumer in the short term, and then Hit them over the head with a four-by-four right after.
