    Ofcourse its true Legitt...What ppl might not REALLY know is HarleyisHere is really someone that has serious issues...Just looking at his past posts and whimsical rants indicates he sits in his Moms basement typing up a storm til his ADHD meds kick in...Or atleast until his Mom unplugs the internet...Givem some time and he will start getting tired and go to sleep....Then he will dream of Obama being elected into office...And that he helped to mandate that three scoops of raisins be put into boxes instead of two..And Obama will make sure Lucky Charms really ARE lucky before being put on the shelves....Harley will continue to dream that everyone gets a good Dem Pokemon, not the bad Republican ones...Then Obama will fight for the right to have more Leave it to Beaver on the air and maybe more Gilligans Island...Eventually his Mom will wake him up and he will be mad again after breakfast at noon of the two scoop bran...Poor poor Harley...

    I think voting is giving a chance to this great country to go forward, whereas not voting is a sign of resentment toward progress. There is a biblical that says "one can put 1 thousand to flee, two can put 2 thousand to flee. So let's be of a single mind the first time voter that will make a big difference in the upcoming election.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA....

    I believe now is the time for all of us to break the barier of "WHAT IF" Remember a loser never win and a winner never lose. So please let's us all go to the voting booth and hope for the best because God is in control, may His will be done.

    "think white people were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land without a fight."

    Think white men were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land to a woman? Whatever barry decides he is he is a man and a man of any sort will always be chosen above a woman...even when she is most qualified.

    Polls have consistantly shown that whites are roughly equally devided between McCain and Obama

    Polls consistantly demonstrate 95% of blacks support Obama

    NOW TELL ME WHO THE RACISTS ARE !!!

    You too have proved my point. Negroes are allowed to have their opinion and Whites/French/German/Italians/ect??? are not. So you tell me to be ashamed ect...Sorry ..not going to happen. I never used absolutes..I said on the whole! There will always be exceptions to every rule but the total number of Negroes divided by the total number of incidents =Negroes far and beyond fill the Jails and carry the AIDs Virus. Just the facts, Mam. It's all in the math. Again ...I know : French/White ect...how dare I have an opinion different from the Negro main stream. Well ...I do! Go ahead and attack me some more, it won't change my opinion, Negroes do not believe anyone can have a different point of view...but then, ... I didn't ask! As for Heaven???who said Jesus was Negro??? How dare you even bring the lord into this foolish earthly discussion.

      You mean you know the Lord Jesus? With all the hatred you have for the Negro, I couldn't imagine that. If you do get to heaven, I said in my former comment, you will see some Negro that you hate--could be your banker...what will you do then. Ha. Ha. With that hatred, do you think you will get there???? And who said I was a Negro? Do you honestly b elieve that all white people are as bigoted and psychotic as you are? No! Your thinking will increasingly become marginalized in our country. I am not trying to change your opinion. Everybody has one. This is mine. You cannot assign sin to one group[ of people on this planet. You, your family and ancestors have committed plenty, I'm sure of it, because my bible tells me so. I bring the Lord everywhere I go. I don't try to sin in one place, like on this blog, and then try to go in pretense as some person knowing the Lord, somewhere else. You are a bigot. And this election allows bigots to vote, too. But you are also ignorant about Negros---as a whole! I believe my other post to you were very clear. I pity you and those who can't or won't see the presidential election as a two party contest. Blacks are voting for Obama because he is the democratic nominee. They would have voted for a white man, a white woman, a green man, a green woman or any other color, if they had become the nominee. Blacks are very loyal. But you, and other's with your mindset, took this opportunity to share your racist views. I really appreciate it, but am embarrased myself, that some white people continue to be rude and bigoted. Obama is going to be elected by a lot of white people. Black people don't have numbers to elect anyone by themselves. So make sure you understand that a lot of white people are listening and watching white people like you spew hatred and small minded name calling. It's like being on an elementary school playground. Did you really think you could say what you said about blacks and not get a response? A response is not an attack. This is a place for EVERYONE to comment and I'm not trying to change hundreds of years of doctrine and philosophy that you and your family line has been victims of. This clandestine place is probably the only environment that you would be honest because you'd be too embarrassed to say it publically. You know it's wrong, Incidently, God knows it, too. You see, I just brought God into this again. Ha. Ha.

    Why not give the White House to the hardest-working group of Americans... Asian-Americans. As a group, Blacks have proven that the only thing they can organize and run is a protest. What an embarrassing race!

    Im converted to worship Obama thanks to Harleys questions with no real answers..Questions like "Name a President that was impeached for lying about an affair w/ an intern...And you cant use words Democrat, Clinton, Monica Lewenski, Oral, sex, fibber, scandal, Bill, William, Jefferson, Clinton, Clinton or Clinton, .."...McCain/Palin 08'

  • Posted By: GoBamainColorado @ 09/28/2008 3:19:02 PM

    I am a 50 year old white woman and I feel the same way. If Obama loses, the integrity of our country could be lost forever. I was a delegate for Obama in Colorado because he has integrity. I couldn't care less what color his skin is. He could be green or purple as long as he is a man of integrity.

    • Posted By: GoBamainColorado @ 09/28/2008 6:35:38 PM

      I mentioned color because that is what this article is about. When I first decided to back Obama, it came as a surprise to me that, for so many people, it was about race. That's my point. For me, it is not about race, it is about this amazing man.

      You are studpid. That is no more true than the assertion that all whites will vote for whites only. you are too dangerous to vote... you and your kind should go to your caves.

      • Posted By: Papa T @ 09/28/2008 6:28:28 PM

        I think you need to wake up and see the colors. Every news interview I've seen with local "voters" over the past few months started and ended with "I'm voting for Obama because he's black". I doubt my part of the country has the only racially motivated voters. By comparison I've yet to hear any McCain supporters say they were voting for him because he was white. Could be because the press won't say anything positive about the McCain campaign and Obama will be close to walking on water before this is over.

  • Posted By: pearsoncrz @ 09/28/2008 4:39:21 PM

    Why should they be afraid? They've been predicting it themselves ever since they started accusing Clinton supporters of being racists.

    Obama was not the strongest candidate. He should have waited instead of being so egotistical. McCain will eat his lunch in the end.

    And by tying their wagons to this black horse candidate, the democrats are risking the majority in the senate they so desire. When people figure out that it was the democrats who blocked legislation back in 2005 that would have addressed the credit derivatives that are causing the current financial crisis, they will be voting for republicans in a way no one could have predicted six months ago.

    • Posted By: juniperberry @ 09/28/2008 6:27:44 PM

      hey pearsoncrz. why don't you come join us and have a nonmesmerized discussion? Or just for a rant or two. Or vote in the polls: sexism, racism, proobama MSM bias and misogyny directed at HRC. These blogs are so tired and predictable with the same people screaming hate. http://citizensagainstproobamamediabias.blogspot.com/ Hope to see you.

    • Posted By: Legitt @ 09/28/2008 4:44:36 PM

      ALSO ........ let's not forget who was in office and basically threatened banks if they didnt give home loans to unqualified buyers. (CLINTON) not republicans ........ DEMOCRATS who by the way rule the house.

  • Posted By: mariai @ 09/28/2008 6:12:43 PM

    I believe Obama will make more of a difference than McCain. As an adult white female I prefer to make my own choices in life, and not have government tell me what I can do with my body. Religion teaches that we will all be accountable for our own actions. It doesn't refer to government as being my advocate when I am facing my maker. I believe that we should keep religion and politics seperate. It is only causing more chaos than needed.

    • Posted By: observer101 @ 09/28/2008 6:23:58 PM

      Obama seems to care about what you do with your body...Or does he?...Try looking up his stance on abortion..See if you can make sense of which way he leans on that issue.

  • Posted By: juniperberry @ 09/28/2008 6:13:10 PM

    These articles are reliable as barry's polling numbers and even more predictable. barry is sucking so it's WHITE AMERICA's fault. Absolutely love this: "There's not a lot of anger--yet--but you can start to sense the potential for it. "I'm going to be mad, real mad, if he doesn't win," says Daetwon Fisher, 21, a construction worker from Long Beach, Calif. "Because for him to come this far and lose will be just shady and a slap in black people's faces. I know there is already talk about protests and stuff if he loses, and I'm down for that."

    Hysterical. It wasn't a slap in Sen Clinton's voters' faces? You know the ones who are racists? The ones that may very well decide this election? The ones barry's black supporters are yelling at to get in line? The way the DNC acted wasn't shady? barry getting delegates from a state where his name wasn't on a single ballot? Would that have ever happened to a black man? Laughable. Utterly laughable. And how were Sen Clinton supporters treated in FL and Denver? Nothing matters but race. Sexism is a joke because Hillary done be a rich white women who ain't never been called no n""ger. Here's a quote from your messiah: "Get over it!"

    • Posted By: Legitt @ 09/28/2008 6:22:10 PM

      yup yup yup Ive done the same research ..... Hillary was definetely cheated and you dont hear riots in the streets or protests.

    THis says it all--but I suppose the censors don't want anyone to see it as I have posted this 3 times and have yet to see it appear. THe best , most honest discussion of racism I have ever heard. A geniune black man's statement of THUTH

    I am a white 28-year old woman who is slightly below middle class. I have a disabled son who is not receiving all I think he should be. However, I have a fabulous house with a 5% fixed interest rate. I have a nice 2005 minivan and two wonderful kids. I don't complain about the economy because I know things will get better if people stop living above their means and stop blaming the government for all their problems. Americans are for the most part lazy, complaining and they sit around waiting for the government to rescue them. I have a son who can't walk, barely talks and is blind. My husband and I had him at 20 years old and have risen above having no college education and making minimum wage. We have worked opposite shifts, only taken out minimum loans and worked our butts off. Now we have acheived what was previously known as the american dream. I am tired of people saying that McCain doesn't mention the middle and lower classes. I'm happy with his stand on the issues. You know what else, STOP Bitching about the upper classes and taxes. My parents make 6 figures each, but you know what! My dad grew up dirt poor on a farm and put himself through college working two jobs. He has worked for the same company for the past 30 years and has earned his money. Stop trying to take his hard earned money to pay for the people who don't want to work and want to do illegal drugs and have 10 babies! I have been to government agencies to register my son for disabiilty programs. I've seen, for the most part, the kind of people who are getting are tax dollars to live without putting in the effort like the rest of us do. I'm also sick of these people who claim disability and they need the government to take care of them. I am 28 years old with a diagnosis of arthritis and degenerative disc disease. I still manage to work, take care of my house and my 2 kids and am going back to college part-time. Start earning and contributing to our society and stop sucking the rest of us dry. THis country is rapidly heading downhill because there's no responsibility or pride anymore.

    • Posted By: Mommabearoffive @ 09/28/2008 6:20:23 PM

      QUESTION: Did daddy with his 6 figure job help you with the money for the 5% fixed interest rate??? Not

      everyone is blessed with rich parents who can help them. Some people just are not lucky in their

      ventures or their lifes. People on minimum wage will NEVER (I REPEAT - NEVER) be able to call

      themselves slightly below middle-class - unless there is change in this country!!!! The rich keep getting

      richer and the poor just keep getting poorer. So, get off your high horse and have some sympathy for

      others & how 10 years ago THIS COUNTRY was one of the greatest in the world. NOT ANY MORE

      SISTER, this country needs change and MCCAIN is NOT THE ANSWER!

      Thank you so much for noticing who is the welfare lines and taking note of all he kids. Good luck to you and your family. Going back to school IS the way to better your self and take care of your family. People who quit their jobs amd sit on their fat arses all day having more kids has got to stop. Hillary Clinton wanted to put an end to all of the problems with our welfare system. Maybe that is why Obama didn't pick her as a running mate. Welfare is for those that TRULY need it - the mentally and physically disabled. NOT for people, black or white, who know how to work the system. Have another baby - get more money. Pathetic.Enter Your Comment

      Well said. My brother works on the Obama campaign and has often said that he ca'nt afford his health care and that Obama will ensure through the taxing of all Americans that all will have universal health care. I have fun reminding my brother that the reason he does not have health care is due to the fact at the age of 44 he has never done anything to better himself through education and solid employment and that his free-spirit attitude will not pay his bills! Typical democrat!

    Seeker14 ?
    This can be solved most simply. What % of social security numbers are held by African Americans? Do you really think four posts is what it takes to unveil the conspiracy to defraud blacks of their true %?
    Common on man, you seem highly educate. How many people would it take to hide this? This would be the story of a lifetime for any reporter. Common on, improve your logic, being the majority is not whatis key. Being educated, motivated, and driven is what counts. With those 3 qualities any man/woman of any color WILL BE SUCESSFUL.

    • Posted By: Legitt @ 09/28/2008 6:17:16 PM

      :)))) I have some relatives that are very dark; some actually look like they are bi-racial. My point is, my relatives never have problems with people anywhere they go, whether its work, vacation, anywhere. WHY obviously its not the color of their skin, because at one glance they actually look half black. Its personality and a caring character without the attitude. Our nation is so diverse these days, I dont think people have a problem with color, its the attitude. I have indian neighbors who are extremely dark, but they are quiet and wonderful people; We have learned a lot about the indian culture from them, its been exciting. Most black people dont get that ......... they tend to isolate themselves from other cultures because of their own doing.

  • Posted By: wkendg @ 09/28/2008 12:00:19 PM

    Screaminginboise,
    I am a black person and I'm not voting for Obama because he is black. Nor am I or anyone in my circle racist. Your assumption is wrong and I wonder how many blacks there are in Boise, if that's where you're from or is you're merely listening to what's being said in the media about black people.

    To call Obama inexerienced and incompetent is ingorant as he didn't graduate from Harvard Law by chance. If you're going to make a statement, please know your facts. You have said nothing about a possible running mate who really knows nothing on the other side but of course you are biased. Unless you are black, don't assume and think you know who we are and what we are about.

    You're basing your comments on this article and until or unless you actually go out and survey some of the black people, regardless of how few in your area, please don't make blanket comments about an entire race of people.

    • Posted By: screaminginboise @ 09/28/2008 12:16:50 PM

      Hit a nerve, did I? I've lived all over this country and known hundreds, if not thousands of black Americans, only a small handful of which were NOT closet racists. All your protestations to the contrary, the vast majority of blacks who vote for Obama will do so not because he's qualified (which he most certainly is NOT), but simply because he's black. If race is now to be the major discriminator of Presidential politics, then the racists have won.

      • Posted By: navia @ 09/28/2008 6:09:26 PM

        screaminginboise there are 30milion black people in America. Those thousand or so blacks you came in contact with were, apparently, in the same circles you travel in whereever you go, or you are a white person that puts millions of people in the same box with a few thousand. Should I assume you are a child molester, a white collar thief, a KKK member or put you in the box with your ancestors who have the heart to commit one of the most evil travesties against other humans? NOOOOOOO, of course not. Your unscientific survey means nothing. No nerve touched here. I only feel pity for you and your children. This is America. There are all kinds here. No race is without sins!!! Now, blacks are voting for Obama because he is the Democratic nominee. That's what blacks do in every presidsential election. They are loyal. If a white man or woman had been the nominee, they would vote for that person, too. You are the bigot here. You hate the fact that whites, blacks, hispanics, Jews, and other cultures have decided to have a black man run as their candidate and you just can't handle this, because, in your world, only white people are integrity. I pity you and others like you.

      • Posted By: wkendg @ 09/28/2008 12:43:37 PM

        Takes more that to ruffle my feathers, nice try though. Unless you are black, you can't understand or speak for who we are or what we believe. Again, you're makiing a statement based solely on ignorance. It's your biased opinion that he isn't qualified to become president and if you're saying 19 MM americans, both white and black are wrong, then I question your judgement.

        It's always interesting to see McCain supporters stooping to attacking Obama's competence and qualifications rather than exhibiting confidence in their own candidate and his running mate.. Just like when I played college basketball. We came out to play the game and didnt' have to down talk our oppoenent to win games, our play and confidence in our ability shined through. We were victorious at the end of the day because we were that good. It's okay though, you see racism one way, in your small ltitle world, typical. Has nothing to do with racism either way but it's interesting that you use it to your advantage.

        • Posted By: screaminginboise @ 09/28/2008 1:19:55 PM

          Ah, there we go! I was wondering when the old "you're not black so you can't understand" chestnut came up. Since I've not mentioned my skin color nor my political leanings at any point, seems that you're doing a little stating based on ignorance yourself. And since when did pointing out the obvious (Obama's inexperience and incompetance) become an attack? Is stating "The sky is blue." an attack on the atmosphere? Actually, tho', my point is that the vast majority of blacks are viewing Obama solely based on his skin color, and you are quite obviously doing so as well.

          I really did have to chuckle at your "black basketball hero" cliche, tho'. That certainly contributes to the issue.

          If, God help us all, Obama is the next President, it will largely be because of his skin color, not in spite of it. And that is far too dangerous in this world today. We are not in a baskeball game, and we can still lose, no matter how good we are.
