The Obama Campaign's 3 Million dollar Offer.

[RICHARD]

I wouldn't be so quick to point fingers like that.
It has nothing to do with who I am voting for, personally.

I just can't agree that the comment was an expression of candor.
It's an expression of ignorance.

I grew up in a very diverse background and for that matter lived half my life in the US and half abroad. Two of my very dearest friends are African American, another is bi-racial, some muslim and many more are of very diverse backgrounds.

It truly is a matter of ignorance. People are afraid of what they don't know.
I am embarrassed for all of you who share Bonny's opinion.

And what part of the human race do you abhor?
Have no patience for?
Dislike?

Asking questions or voicing a concern has nothing to do with ignorance. It's more ballsy than the Peace and Love, everyone is my friend creed that most people espouse.

The common arguement is the "I have three black friends, a mexican gardener and the guy I buy my coffee from in the morning is Indian." So what does that mean?

Get a job in the med field and you'll see more pure bred/mutts that you can ever imagine. Who I count as my friends has nothing to do with my world view.

Is it ignorance to admit to what you believe in, rather than what is politically correct? I don't care for BO either-I don't care for his politics-he's got a skeezy slickness about him that makes his whole agenda suspect to me.

Two things that are a real turn off to me when I talk politics to people, the inability to understand a basic premise and the "He's better that Bush/It's GWB all over again."

Young people are the most vulnerable to a good talking point. Will a skin color make anyone a better politician? Nope, but it does open them up to more scrutiny than the old white guys that have run the place for the last 230 or so years.

I want my politicians to be above reproach-above all the shiat that makes them 'different' to what we ordinarily demand from them. BO hasn't shown me any of that. If he hasn't come out to give me a good reason as to why he was hanging out with effing morons in his past, he can kiss my vote goodbye.

Please do not waste your embarassment on me and my feelings. Save it for the people who cannot and will not be honest with their feelings.

I think there is way more to life than wasting your feelings on a moron like me.

Do something constructive with your time. Make a dartboard and put my picture on it.


LOLOLOL

The oil companies make about 8 cents a gallon profit on every sale. The government makes about 2.50 on every gallon IN TAX.

And remember the Blood for Oil deal we got from Iraq!

I know what abhor means.

Asking questions or voicing a concern has nothing to do with ignorance.

It does if you are talking about race. I could understand if she wrote "I don't want a man with a degree in basket weaveing running for office" or something of the like. She said "old" about McCain and that's actually a valid point (not a good or bad one).

The common arguement is the "I have three black friends, a mexican gardener and the guy I buy my coffee from in the morning is Indian." So what does that mean?

It means that you give diverse people a chance to interact with you in your daily life. The racist wouldn't buy coffee from an Indian or whatever.

Is it ignorance to admit to what you believe in, rather than what is politically correct?

No, it's not. But it would help if you have a reason to support your belief.

BTW by "you", I am not referring to you personally.

Young people are the most vulnerable to a good talking point. Will a skin color make anyone a better politician? Nope, but it does open them up to more scrutiny than the old white guys that have run the place for the last 230 or so years.

Good for you. At least you believe in something.

Please do not waste your embarassment on me and my feelings. Save it for the people who cannot and will not be honest with their feelings.

I wasn't referring to you actually.

I think there is way more to life than wasting your feelings on a moron like me.

Love you too!

Oh, my. Since when does admitting that one is racist absolve them from the wrongness associated with the position? Does the man that admits he murdered the victim receive less of a penalty because he admitted it?

Didn't absolve it for me I was being sarcastic.

Acutally, many times he does. However, having said that, I do agree with the point you were making, Cataholic.
