    Not sure what my comments had to do with the word n****r. I posted the link because I think it's pathetic black people vote for someone simply because they are black. I also think it's pathetic for white people to not for a black person because of the color of their skin. This is the most powerful person in the world we are electing. Let's try to be more selective then skin color.

  3. Are just as outraged about people who vote for the most "Christian" candidate?

    Yeah I think that's retarded as well. Besides "Christians" tend to be socialists so another mark against, especially Catholics. I wouldn't hold any person's religion against them but certainly would not vote for the most powerful person in the world because of whatever religion they choose to practice in their private life.

  5. If logic is the criteria then you probably also voted for Obama, not wanting to risk Palin being a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    I used logic for sure and did not vote for Obama or McCain.

  7. What if Palin HAD become POTUS? Could she have done more harm to the US than Odumbo?

  8. Yep, but somehow, you NEVER post the MANY videos of people saying that they will never vote for a black man. You never post those, John.

    Is there a reason for that?

    That could not have been logical, because by voting for other than one of the two candidates that had a realistic chance of winning, you were effectively negating your vote against the greater of two evils likely to win -- as perceived by you. By voting for someone other than Obama or McCain in 2008, you were idealistic at best because you were voting for someone who was effectively out of play and thereby squandering your vote to defeat the worse top candidate -- again, as a matter of your opinion. It's your right, of course, but let's not confuse idealism with logic.
