I'm a little confused here. You post a video of a bunch of racist Democrats refusing to vote for Obama as proof that the Republican party is the party of racists?
I was speaking to the inherent racism that exists in our country. Obviously there are old school southern Democrats who are racist. But overall, the south is Republican. Have you not seen who voted for Bush??
The south has woken up that the Democrats are anything but the party of racism, thus not advocating their beliefs any longer. So the south has gone to the GOP.
Racism is real in the north as well, where I live, I see it all the time. But here, the racists always were members of the GOP, while the south has slowly but surely waking up to the reality of which party is more for as they put it... "equality".. if that equality means keeping a black man out of the Presidency that is.

You haven't seen Vic(and others) and I go at it over this issue? People here ASSume that I'm supporting McCain but I've repeatedly posted why it is I am not voting McCain. I chide people like you for voting BHO if you really were Republicans/Conservative because he stands for an opposing ideology. If you really are upset with the current crop of non-Conservative GOP members then register your vote as a protest by voting Barr or RP2. Atleast the GOP will see it as a lost vote and may move them back towards the ideals that got them elected in '94. By you people voting BHO - you don't register your protest and now the GOP may see that as people actually wanting liberalism instead of actually wanting more real Conservatism.
But then again...rage doesn't foster rational thinking... From your threads of late we can see you aren't thinking as clearly or rationally as you should and could.
You haven't even read your own thread. Vic and I got into it IN this thread.
I don't see anything wrong with what the left presents us. I think both ideas from the left and right can work, if implemented in a way that benefits the average American. I trust Obama to look out for my best interests more than the Republicans who had the past 15 years to do so.
So that's a large difference between you and me. I think ideas from the right can work, and ideas from the left.
I would've voted 3rd party this time, if I didnt feel a McCain presidency wasn't a mortal danger to my life, and the lives of my countrymen. He's out of his mind. I support not voting for him and voting 3rd party.. but honestly in this moment in our history I think it's critical that we be realistic and vote IN Barack rather than simply not vote for McCain.
Once the stakes aren't so high, as-in our lives aren't being risked and WW3 isn't being risked for all the wrong reasons, then I'll likely start voting 3rd party.
The economy is important, but I put more value on 1 life than our entire economy and all the gasoline in our cars put together so I simply can't just vote against McCain but I had to vote for Obama.
Money comes and money goes, it doesn't really matter when you get to the root of the issues. If only the Federal Reserve, who are the same guys getting bailed out could realize that, they wouldn't destroy our economy by further inflating the dollar another trillion... we all wouldn't have to starve after they naively attempt to stave off what's ahead.. the collapse of our fiat currency.
