Best answer? Statistics. In some areas, over 80-90% of the black vote is going to Obama, which in most jurisdictions over most of the voting history is simply unbelievable. It's rare for ANYONE to secure that kind of vote. Moreover, they were doing this in the Democratic PRIMARY - so it wasn't even a Dem/Republican thing.

Lastly - ask. There's plenty of people who will tell you they're voting for him because he's black, just as people said they were voting for Hillary because she's a woman.

Why don't people question white people when they vote for Mccain?? or when they voted for Bush or Kerry in 2004. There are millions of white people who voted for Obama, do you think they did because he is black??? Most people vote based on their political beliefs.

I know this might come to a shock to a lot of people on this board, but everyone in American doesn't think like you.

So the Freshman Senator comes on the scene out of nowhere, with no real political, legislative, military, foriegn policy, or economic experience and he's your guy. Oh that makes so much more sense. Sorry dude, the short bus just left without you!!!

[stylin]

Yes, I will be voting for McCain. I do NOT agree with Change...oh thats right, what change, he hasn't really stated it yet! How much experience does he have, not much.

I have a story for you....my coworker was on the Hillary bus and bad mouthed Obama to no end. I would never vote for him...Blah blah blah...we guess who she is voting for....no she doesn't like McCain but her exact words were, " This country will be in Big trouble if Obama is elected" ok so I guess that changed since Hillary is out?

I completely agree with you. This dude, is a bad dude. I want my black folk to vote for someone who would turn out to be a great leader, or at least someone with as-like-minded goals and standards as possible. But this guy is just a flat out bad guy. Too bad most of the blacks I talk to ARE voting for him, for all the wrong reasons, and look at me like I have three eyes, when I say something to the contrary. Sellout and Uncle Tom come to mind. ( Imma pretty big dude, so you know they don't say that to my face, it would be ugly, but there is no doubt it's said behind my back. It's ok, I am used to it. Been a cop for 13 years. You couldn't imagine what I have been called by black and white people alike. LOL ) Anywho... I wish I could run for office myself, but I got wayyyyyy toooo many skeletons in my closet. LOL

I hope that Maryland get's with the program. Cause when I bumped into Michael Steele at the Bowie WaWa not too long after his loss, I shook his hand and told him, " I am sorry you didn't win, LT. Gov, but don't go away. You, J.C. Watts, Alan Keyes, Lynn Swann, Condi, Powell, we need you guys. Don't let us down." You know what he said to me? Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere". Great, hopefully we haven't seen the end of him, and others like him, and hopefully the blacks in this state will, like me, stand up for what's right and do the right thing.

OK in the above post you said blacks are voting for the "Wrong reason". Have you every thought that they might be voting for him because he does have "like-minded goals and standards" Allot of people have voted for Obama, so that must me a lot of people agreed with his message...

Have you ever thought that blacks in the state did what was right FOR THEM, just because they don't agree w/ your political view doesn't make them wrong....... They where not compelled to vote for Steele because his skin color matched theirs... They voted based on their beliefs..... TThat makes them right in my eyes...

Look here, clown boy, I happen to be black. I FEEL COMPELLED TO VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! ( but I won't ) My entire family, they will, my friends ( the liberal ones )will, the moron's at the ACLU, and Move.ORGINAL, they will too. I don't give two rat turds as to the reason WHY they are voting for him, if you read my letter above, you would know that. I just have a problem that people would vote for this CLOWN at all, regardless of color! Now, get back on your bike, and go for a ride.....

Your "Liberal friends", are voting for him because he is liberal.... and this suprises you???... Dude you've got to get it together......

Don't get mad at me because you are torn between your convictions and your race, that sounds like a personal problem to me......

OK, and those people are idiots.... whats your point. There are allot of people who will NOT vote for him because his is black.. and those people are idiots too.....

Hell at least 9 members of SOMD.com will never vote for a black guy........

Steele's defeat by icky white pasty guy Ben Cardin proved to me that blacks vote party, not skin color. There's a recent thread where I was telling The Right Miller this.

So I probably agree with Moe - blacks aren't voting for Obama because he's black, they're voting for him because he's a Democrat. White guilters - THEY are voting for him because he's black. Makes them feel all cool and hip. "SEE?? I'm not a racist! I'm voting for the black guy!"

[Hessian]

for the guy who makes us feel good.
for the guy who understands our needs.
for the guy who looks like us.
for the guy who will keep other countries happy with us.
for the guy who will really help the poor.


This is all CRAP that was planted in the 1930's, matured in the 60's and dominates us by the 1990's.

Look at our REAL leaders in History.
They were statesmen, they were unpopular at times but they did what is right...for the FUTURE of the country,...not meeting the immediate desires.

Mr President: your real job is to secure our borders, defend us from attacks, sign treaties that benefit us, and appoint justices that interpret the law based on the constitution.
AND veto legislation that redistributes our wealth.

That sir...is your power.
You may not exceed it.
