I found the racial question fascinating.
It's going to be said that many Republicans won't vote for Obama because of his race, but the truth is that Republicans seldom vote for Democrats of any race, just as Democrats seldom vote Republican of any race.
The real race war is in the Democratic Party, as revealed by exit interviews with people admitting that their Hillary vote was race based.
I've always suspected that the Democratic Party was the more racist party, and that Democrat protestations about Republican racism were analogous to Republican protestations about Democratic spending.

I know, but I can still dream.

If Obama does happen to win I’m going to take great pleasure in telling certain whiney race-obsessed persecution complex crybabies to stuff it. (Well, I’m pretty shy so I’ll probably just imagine it). Of course, the race-obsessed will figure out some way to call us a racist country even if Obama happens to win.

The stereotype of the racist republican doesn’t hold water. (*Except, possibly, in the South. Again, I can’t be sure.) I’m kind of glad to see the democrats knocked off their self-righteous non-racist pedestal. (I’m thinking of the ultra left thought police.)

Years ago I never would have thought I’d ever agree with such a statement, but ya know, that makes more and more sense as time goes by. The more you observe the democratic party the more apparent it is how full of shit they all are. I’ll vote for a democratic candidate if I feel they are right for the job, but I do not like the party itself, the institution. (Which isn’t to say I’m particularly fond of the Republican Party)

 hahahahaha! That’s the biggest bone I have to pick with the republicans. For all their talk about shrinking government and being fiscally responsible they don’t to a goddamn fucking thing about it. (Or at least not any time recently)
