LET'S GET REAL! HILLARY SUPPORTERS VOTING FOR MCCAIN ARE RACISTS!

posted Monday, 12 May 2008

I call 'em as I see 'em!  Hillary Clinton and John McCain have supported the 3 worse bills in determining the fortunes of the American people in the last 7and a half years, and candidates claim they have great experience. The vote to invade Iraq has been a catastrophic failure for Americans in lives, treasure and for the sake of our Constitution. The vote for the continuation of NAFTA that Bill Clinton signed with a Republican congress has decreased jobs and pay in this country for U.S. citizens with both McCain and Hillary giving support. And voting for the New Banking and Bankruptcy Laws has led to the greatest housing scandal since the Savings and Loan Scams of the Reagan/Bush years.

With a track record like that, Hillary and McCain have both shown the worse regard for the welfare of Americans. Those 3 votes, alone, should have Americans questioning how these candidates' experience has misguided them in their judgment concerning critical issues to our deficit.

The only reason folks aren’t falling all over themselves for Barack Obama is color. Many Hillary supporters say if Barack wins they will vote for McCain and then tell you they aren’t prejudiced. Hillary’s and Obama’s visions for the future are far closer than they will ever be to John McCain’s. So once again, some White voters will vote against their best interests, based on color. Yet, these same folks will tell you they aren’t racists. When race is the basis of your decisions, you bet you’re a racist, whether you realize it or not.

The media has attempted to call Black voters racists, by saying they are voting overwhelmingly for Barack (92%). Yet not one news station has brought up how Blacks voted heavily for John Kerry (89%) and Al Gore (90%), two White men.

The double standard of White Privilege has shown itself in this election process in the racial fear the media and others have congered up regarding Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the candidacy of Barack Obama. Attempting to paint Obama with hate due to his minister's words is pure ignorance.  Some White folks see it as a valid issue.  What ignorance! Many White Americans have come from racist homes that have produced children that don’t see the country as their parents did. So why are we putting so much emphasis on Obama’s minister? Is it ignorance or purposefully attempting to mislead the people.

There are real issues that need to be addressed if we intend to make this country great again. There’s no doubt about it. America has lost a lot of its luster the last 8 years and we have some serious challenges ahead that have to be addressed with good judgment.

We have two candidates who have helped to get this country in the mess it’s in through their poor judgment. You have one candidate that is younger in years, but has shown the judgment of Solomon when it comes to the issues – the only problem for some people is his skin color.

THEY DON’T TRULY REALIZE THE TRUE PROBLEM IS THEIR LACK OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY IN LETTING THIS GREAT NATION SINK OVER SOMETHING AS SMALL AS RACE! THESE FOLKS ARE NOT PATRIOTS – THEY’RE COWARDS LACKING SELF WORTH!

COLOR BLINDNESS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT. WHAT’S NEEDED IS COLOR APPRECIATION, BRINGING THE SAME DIVERSITY WE SEE IN NATURE.

QUESTION EVERYTHING!  THAT'S WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES.

I don't think this is really fair to say. I dislike Hillary so much that I'm considering voting for McCain should she end up being the candidatie. Does that make me a sexist? Isn't it possible that I don't like her for reasons other than being a woman? While I'm sure there are folks out there who are indeed racist and will vote for McCain over Obama for just that reason, I don't think it's fair to group everyone so easily into being racists.

I'm not focusing on Wright, the media is. He makes for quite a show on the 6:00 news. It's not right, not at all, but it's not me giving him an audience. He's more than cringeworthy.

I'm also a bit taken aback at this "White Privilege" business. I'm a person. Yes, I'm white. Yes, I know I have it easier. Does that automatically makes me thoughtless, self centered and self serving? No, it doesn't.

I'm all for Obama. But I think if you want to swing white voters from Hillary to Barack, which I think you do, you need to take a little bit of a different take on things. This will chase them away. JMHO

Nutsy, although I think you make an interesting point, let's follow what you said all the way through. "I dislike Hillary so much that I'm considering voting for McCain should she end up being the candidate. Does that make me a sexist?" If we vote for candidates based on issues, how could you be for McCain when Hillary's vision is so close to what Obama is offering? In your case, I would be saying you allowed your hatred to get the best you, if you will vote for a person who's vision goes against your best interest. Doing that would be foolish. And I would urge you to examine your hatred for Hillary.

As much as my disgust would be urging me to sit on the sidelines if Hillary were able to STEAL the nomination, I wouldn't vote for McCain, who is diametrically opposed to most of what I believe in. And I would vote for Hillary to insure he didn't get in.

Nutsy, from the Black experience, we've had to hold our nose a lot when voting in past elections because often it was two White candidates running that didn't give a damn about the concerns of Black folk.

Also, Nutsy, White Privilege is a double standard that continues to exist. One set of rules for Whites and another for Blacks. Being offended at the truth, doesn't make the truth a lie. The criminal justice system has just replaced Slavery. You've heard me say, BLACK MEN GO TO JAIL FOR DOING THE SAME THINGS WHITE MEN DO BUT GO HOME! This is a reality Black folk live. Steering in housing to poor neighborhoods with lousy schools, etc. You know the routine. The Sean Bell case ended with the judge saying that cops have the right to shoot Black folk as long as they are scared for their lives - even if the Black person has no weapons.

As far as swinging White voters over to Obama, I'm more concerned with dealing with the truth. But you know what's great Nutsy? That you and I have a good enough relationship to discuss issues of all shapes and sizes. Communication like that leads to understanding. And that's what TRUE race relations are all about.

Capt., I believe "issues" like beauty is in the "eye of the beholder". Are there any issues other than race that would lead a white American Democrat supporter of Hilary Clinton to vote for Republican John McCain instead of Barack Obama? In my opinion, there are valid "issues" other than race for this act. "Experience" is still a prime issue to many voters and these voters genuinely feel that Obama lacks the experience to be President, his self proclaimed "good judgement" notwithstanding! Those voters leery of "socialism" or far left "liberalism" might feel more comfortable with John McCain. Those voters whom "personality" is an issue may feel that McCain's hot temper is easier to swallow than Obama's seeming arrogance and condesending aloofness. The point is, in my opinion, just because a white voter votes for McCain over Obama is not an indication that he or she is a "racist". (By the way are black Americans who are loyal Republicans and who will vote for McCain "racists"?) In my opinion neither Obama, Clinton or McCain are ideally qualified to be President. To me it is all about choosing the "lesser of two evils". Race, for the majority of thinking Americans , has nothiing to do with it.

Mo, you made quite a few assumptions and you know what they say when you assume... The experience of Hillary & McCain is what got us in the position we're in now, so deliver me from your experience issue. You've experienced voting for Bush the first time to find your assumptions wrong. And you're making the same mistake again. Life is a trial & error process, but you keep making the same errors, instead of learning from them.

My entry didn't have to do with McCain supporters, but Hillary supporters who would then vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't make it. Whites and Blacks for McCain, outright, I have no problem with, although I disagree with their choice.

While you're painting a picture of Obama as a Che Guevara type, that's all in your mind, Obama has shown the capacity to pull together the right people to run a campaign that is so much more fluid and efficient than either Hillary's or McCain's who are fraught with experience. He's also maintained a certain cool under pressure that the others can only admire. He's shown character by not getting into the name calling & mud that the other two continue to do.

As people talk about the years of experience the others have over Obama, he's shown the character, the integrity, and the vision this country needs in a President to get us through the next 4 to 8 years, hands down!

John McCain has had to drop 5 top aides from his campaign in the last week because of their being lobbyists. What took McCain so long? What happened to the Straight Talk Express? What happened to the maverick that didn't believe in the special interest groups? You can't get much deeper in the doo doo than lobbyist Charles Black & he was attached to McCain. McCain an agent of change? I think not!

Nutsy, it appears you have disregarded the TRUTH because you don't like the package it came in. When you withdraw from debate because you don't like the TRUTH, you make communication very difficult to take place.

I befriended you based on being able to be truthful with one another. When one feels pain from the truth, it's time to examine the pain - not the messenger! Peace!
