Willet I read your post and as an older white man I can say there is a very strong element of racism in this country but its just not acceptable to express it openly. My brother in law openly told me before the last election, “It was the democrats turn and they had to go nominate a nigger”
Another friend of mine was in Tennessee and she met a man living in a run down trailer with half his teeth gone. He was voting Republican because he didnt want a black man as President.. I could give plenty more examples but you have to ask yourself why there are so many hateful rumors about the President that circulate so quickly and are so stubbornly resistant to facts.. Closet Muslim, hates white values, is not a legitimate citizen, has foreign values, doesn’t salute the flag, doesn’t wear the flag pin…and on and on and on.. Why do you think that is??

And you are so naive when you say

“It is about a different ideology. Republicans beleive that capitalism is the foundation in which this nation was built upon.”

The implication is that Obama and the democrats do not. That is a totally false belief that is promoted by the far right. There are different degrees of capitalism and the capitalism of the late 1800s is not what is needed today.

Are you aware that social security, medicare, food and drug regulations, minimum wage, unemployment insurance and the restrictions on “predatory capitalism’ more were all once denounced as socialist by the far right?

You seem like an honest person so i will assume you are. The real truth is the capitalism cannot be unregulated..we cannot have a system like that which existed before the New Deal but that is exactly what the current Republican party wishes to achieve.
Romney will simply make the rich richer and the poor poorer and the middle class will take another hit.. Just think..the Ryan plan actually increases taxes for the middle class and cuts programs to benefit them..all while cutting the taxes of the wealthiest few even more and eliminating any kind of regulations or restrictions. Its back to 1890..

I would not waste my time posting this if I did not detect an element of honesty in your post…

Think about it..

I am very tired of anyone who listens to every little word that is uttered by a white republican to seek out a hint of racism. Is it so difficult to understand that the majority of white people are not racist? That there are very few white politicians who are racist? That even white republicans want what’s best for African Americans? They want all Americans ot be successful and work hard! It is not about race. It is about a different ideology. Republicans beleive that capitalism is the foundation in which this nation was built upon. How do you think we became the most powerful and technologically advanced county in the world in such a short span of time? Making your own money and not relying on the government is the way you will earn respect and success, regardless of your race. Romney built and empre and should be proud of that, not demonized for it. To compare Romney to Willard is ridiculous and far reaching. I hope to God Romney wins in 2012.

Wow who let michelle bachmann in?? Erin you sound like the typical Texas educated hillbilly. It’s painfully obvious your savour rush limbaugh has brainwashed you again. If you actually studied ANY political history you’d know the gop hasn’t done one single solitary thing for civil right since 1964! You idiot! But let me make this perfectly clear so even a ignorant backwoods shit kicker like you could even understand, your glorious gop is fading away! they’re attacks on black people, hispanics, all women, gay people, muslims, poor people is destroying them! Your party is a narrowing group of elderly white men!! and becky sue thats not a winning formula, to piss everybody but wasp republican males! See theres simply not enough racist, poorly educated nascar watching, tobacco spitting, confederate flag waving, pick up truck driving, sheep molesting, buck tooth, cowboy boot wearing white folks voters to win elections.lSo Erin say bye bye to the kkk second team!
