    I was raised in southwest Missouri, not far from Branson. I am sure some of the people I knew and grew up around would have those same sentiments. I am sure there are many black people voting for Obama on race/color alone too. It is a sad state of affairs when someone's name, religion or color is what someone is judged by.

    I know Obama is Christian, though some believe he is secretly muslim. I would have no problem voting for a jewish, muslim, agnostic, or whatever a person's faith may be, if I felt they were qualified and represented the ideas I most agreed with.

    It's far more alarming when people act like idiots in front of the microphone - the idiots yelling smack from the crowd is pretty bad, Then you have media 'stars' that say what amounts to hate speech under the guise of comedy or humor. And have no forethought about what they are saying and how it can incite hate?

    LOL,
    If a comedian or talk show host came out and called Mrs. Biden or Obama a "prostitute" the world would end.

    There are a few 'woman' media hosts that only get radio and TV time because they are foul mouthed skanks with no respect for the politicians they constantly bang on.

    Some anonymous loud mouth yells some stupidity from a crowd, yet it's quite all right for a media mouth to say what amounts to the same kind of speech?

    LOLOLOL, That is precious.

    It's unfortunate that race is an issue at all, but it is. I heard on the news last night that there was an assasination plot against Obama that the FBI just broke up. It was two skinheads, wanting to kill 88 black people I think, including him. How sad...

    I had to scratch my head about a comment I read about in the newspaper about this apparent "plot". THe Fibbies said that it was no great shakes as far as the planning went-they had no plan in place! It was just a pair of "good old boys" being stupid.

    Anywho, Some columnist/poli-blogger (I give credit to the political bloggers because most of them are stupid hate/panic/word mongers who incite raw passions with their posts-as it some person can knock the planet off kilter from their locked basement room!) was saying that the news story about the plot was being ignored by the media. It was "being buried" and people were not paying attention to the news worthiness of it.

    Uh, yeah...it was reported and what are we to do about it? Hash it out and give some other bozos an idea as to how to plan a killing?

    There is a reason that the Government does not want to talk about the way they uncover these plots against gov't. officials.

    LOL, Here come the anti-Patriot Act comments. Trust me, should something happen to an official/candidate that you support you would be crying bloody FN murder yourselves.

    ------------

    I had an interesting experience with a woman right after the elections for mayor here in Los Angeles.

    The day after the idio--an, people elected Antonio Villaraigosa to the seat this woman came in to use the FAX in the area and began to spew some real effing hateful crap. The race was a hotly contested campaign where many people were rooting against AV and people were freaking out about having a Am-Mex as a mayor.

    The conversation went something like this-
    ME: Hi, how are you?
    Stupid Woman: I am mad!
    M: Gee....I am sorry....
    SW: I can't beleive that they elected that guy to be mayor.
    M: Hmmm, I didn't vote for him.
    SW: Now the people will want things from him....
    M: LIke what?
    SW: You know, the illegal aliens!

    I couldn't figure out if she was stupid or was directing her venom at the nearest Am-Mex because the election didn't go her way!

    A radio host told this story a while back-I don't know if it was a joke or real- He was in a public business a few days after an election when a person next to him happened to open up a pay envelope. They checked out the deductions on the stub and announced for the room to hear, "I voted for XYZ and they promised to lower my taxes!"


    Unfortunately, that is the stupidity of Joe Plumber, Conrad Construction, Sammy Streetsweeper and Felicia Flight Attendant.

    The political "messiahs" always promise more than they can carry.

    Morons.


    ---------------

    IT ain't over until one half of the population is bellyaching over the results.

    Remember,

    Be gracious in defeat, but carry the animosity in the depths your heart.
    It helps during the rematch!

    That saddens me so. A nation founded on freedom from government imposed religion still so obsessed with the brand of people's faith instead of the content of their character.

    That vidoe is sad as well. I have family in St Clairsville, Ohio. So not surprising, just sad.
