Lindsay Lohan is voting for Romney

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Nobody is suggesting not voting for Obama is racist. I'm not going to vote for him and I love black people.

I will not vote for Obamer because he is making our economy a train wreck. He swollen entitlements and he is a liberal with socialist tendencies. Nothing to do with race. I liked Herman Cain before his women troubles caught up with him. Not sure why he dropped out, some of our best leaders where womanizers.

As for loving black people. I know some Black people I care for and some I do not care for. I think it's time we treated them just like everyone else. It seems a lot of them demand equality, except when it benefits them, then they are fine with the old standard. I.E. Black colleges, black only clubs, racial quotas etc etc. As long as you have things like that there will no longer be equality.

Example- If I have a black doctor I always wonder in the back of my mind, is this one of the quota or did they really excel and earn the right to be a doctor above all others. It's not fair but it is reality. In fact they may be the most gifted doctor in the nation, but quotas and set asides always taint accomplishments.

All the Racist charges really get old America is about 78% white and about 13% black. Obama is President. Now if racism was as prevalent as some Black leaders would have you believe then how is he president ?

I won't vote for Obama cos I am a green card holder and don't have a vote. If I could I'd vote for him. A liberal with social tendencies sounds perfect for me cos that's how I would describe my politics too. Where I come from we don't see socialism as a bad thing.

When I see a black person in a job like a doctor or the governor of Massachusetts or the president of the United States I think how remarkably well he must have done to get where he was and rise above the kind of attitudes that some people seem to have about black people. You know comments like he must only have got where he was because he got a leg up from the good white people who feel sorry for his kind!

You can say that because no one suggested anything, right? No one SAID anything. How nice and safe...and cowardly.

I do not love black people, nor do I hate them. I do not give a rat's @ss what color you are or who you have sex with, nor your gender or your nationality or religion.

I supported Cain because he had the best ideas, ideas that would actually make long term change(actually Gary Johnson was even better but he dropped out very early)It mattered nothing to me that he is black, nor does it matter that Obama is white.

Obama is a terrible President. Even his supporters cannot do anything but throw rocks at Romney, none say anything about why I should vote for Obama. If your whole game is "Vote for Obama because Romney is bad and it's all George Bush's fault" then just take your ball and go home.

The most incredibly racist thing I ever read.

When I see black people in those kinds of jobs I do not think ANYTHING of it. Why would I? Black people are no different from me and you.

I am in favor and support ANY reason to NOT vote for Obama.

And this is exactly how Obama loses

He only won by 5 points originally.

Do you know anyone that did NOT vote for him in 2008 that WILL vote for him now?

Do you know anyone that DID vote for him in 2008 that WILL NOT vote for him now?

If that number exceeds 5% of the electorate...he loses.

Winning by 5 percentage points is a pretty comfortable win in a presidential election. That said, Obama actually won by a larger than 7% margin in 2008. That's more than a percent and a half better than Clinton's margin of victory in 1992 and almost 8% more than W's margin of victory in 2000 who won his first term with half a percent less of popular votes than his opponent. And yet, both those guys went on to get re-elected.

I'm curious why do you want anyone as long as they are even a tiny bit different to the President?

Because anyone different from Obama, even a tiny bit, will mean improvement. that tiny bit of improvement would be a lot better than 4 more years of the same. Or worse.

I have to agree with that. he/she made it sound as if black people are not capable of being doctors or being able to succeed. sounds like the one with a negative attitude/perception toward blacks is scotinmass.

Different doesn't necessarily mean better.

So what I said was more racist than the point I was responding to in your mind?

[Darnell 8,479]

I must have been sleeping. Is she even allowed to vote, given her criminal background?

[MariaBonita 11]

True. but usually when we go for something different is because we want something better. if we do our homework and choose well, it is a big possibility that we are going to end up with something better. in this case, i have done my homework and i believe Romney, or any of the other candidates who were running against Obama could have been/will be much better than him.

Well if he wins I hope you're right.

Agreed. I was quite shocked myself when I read that post.
