    I don't know a single white person that voted for Romney because of the color of his skin.

    Right now, the biggest problem in the country is the economy, in general an jobs specifically.

    I have 2 choices of who I want to run my company.

    One is a community organizer that has proven he doesn't have a clue how to create jobs.

    The other is a centimillionare that has turned around several businesses and created a bunch of jobs in the process.

    Gee. I wonder if I can say no-brainer

    I don't either, but I think we would be naive to say that it doesn't happen just because we don't personally know any.

    I totally get your point on your reasoning for you casting your ballot for Romney. But just because he is a centimillionaire and has created jobs in his business for others, means he will do the same for the entire US? Both Bush's were millionaires, but weren't very good as Presidents(younger Bush in his second term). And let's remember govt. doesn't create jobs, the people do.

    To further your point some of the richest presidents have been the worst, see Herbert Hoover

    You may not know a single white person who voted for Romney because he is white, but I assure you that there are many that voted against Obama because he is black -- whether you know them or not.

    Regarding your assertion that Romney created "a bunch of jobs" in the private sector, if you include the THOUSANDS of jobs he created in China, I would have to agree. His activities at Bain cost American workers dearly.

    Yet another racist slur.

    And 95% of Blacks voted for Obama - why? Surely not because of the color of his skin?

    Yo Mullet Boy, here's a real racist for you and Obama gave him the Medal of Freedom:

    Simply because you can name an instance where it's "advantageous" to be black doesn't mean that being black is an advantage over being white.

    That was exactly my point. I gave just one example. Here's another:

    A nothing community organizer who got elected to the Illinois State legislature and then is catapulted to the US Senate - he then serves a couple years before being elected POTUS after accomplishing absolutely NOTHING in his legislative career.

    No way that could ever happen to a White guy.

    You really have a bag of nothing don't you? You could try and use that as your argument but George Bush was an elected official for a shorter time than that nothing community organizer you referred to. As was Dwight Eisenhower and Herbert Hoover. Try again.

    What thousands of jobs did he create in China? What about Staples? Staples started in mid 80's with Bain's backing and has over 80,000 employees. How many jobs would never had been created or saved if it weren't for Bain?

  • Fuck this is some retarded ass shit in this thread.

    We're fucked either way. The black president with the fucked up domestic economic policies or the elitist white asshole president who can't even debate foreign policy much less be expected to not fuck it up and who will pander to his rich asshole buddies and kill our economy further/drive a bigger wedge between classes. This election is choosing death by electric chair or firing squad. We're dead and soon to be suffering excruciating pain either fucking way.

    Lets see, there was over 95 % of Blacks who voted for Obama which is excused in the national media by Tingle Leg Matthews and company as understandable racial pride- yet for a white person who does not worship Obama- he is doing so because he is racist according to Matthews!

    Give it a rest Bj - you're embarrassing yourself.

    I don't know which Bush you are speaking about but both had much more lengthy resumes than Obama before assuming the office of POTUS - not even close.

    And Eisenhower was only a 5 Star General and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in WW2.

    Sorry, but if you're going to try and defend Obama's background and his qualifications to be President you'll lose that argument big time.

    That person would also be a racist according to Hooks Left - if you disagree with Obama or find fault with him and you're a racist.

    Embarrassing myself, huh?

    You probably need to go back and check what the context of your statement was. You stated that he(Obama) had been catapulted into these elected govt. positions all the way to POTUS, to prove a point of being black was an advantageous position.

    George W. Bush and everyone else that I mentioned held ELECTED govt positions for a shorter period of time than Obama. Your argument holds no water.

    If you read that as me defending his background or his qualifications, then you my friend have a comprehension issue and I can't do anything about that.

    Bj my friend, I guess we'll just have to disagree. I wish you the best and hope that chip on your shoulder doesn't get to much for you to handle.

    Just remember, we (Black and White) all share the common experience of ups and downs, good and bad. And, as you go through life, it ain't Whitey fluckin' with ya', it's just life. You just gotta nut up.

    Look bro...I don't care who you vote for...It's not going to affect me one way or the other. I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing. It also doesn't matter if the photo was a prank or not or if it was by black, white, green, yellow, blue or what ever color, race, or creed. The fact that anyone would do this is repulsive. I am not here to convince you of that. But my good friend Buckhorn seems to think that these feelings do not exist.

    I'm thinking Romney wins going away - about 7 points, 53-46 sounds about right.

    Electoral College something like 328 to 210.

    Not even close.

    Some conservative papers agree with you. One professor I know well had Romney at 310 and he voted for Obama last time. Like many he felt that Obama would have been wise enough to govern from the center. No matter how hard the liberal press will try most all of us will say that we are not better off than we would 4 years ago. Honestly, however, I am financial much better off than 4 years ago in that I was able to buy lots of equities in March of 2009.

    Now I have puts in and lots of cash fearing another 4 years of environmentally insane policies and a foreign policy that defies all reason. I believe Obama will be declared the winner.cry

    Nope, you missed the point.

    My point was and always has been, we all have events in our lives which are negative, ugly and offensive.

    Your point is that same old tired whiny Al Sharton/Jesse Jackson "poor, poor pitiful Black me" crap.

    You can spout that bilge over and over if you want but I wouldn't expect a lot of sympathy hereabouts.

    The last four years have been good for us as well JFW. But it was because I had the foresight to load up on gold/silver (bullion and equities) in 2003. Also, we hit a home run on our gas investments (Barnett Shale).

    Looking forward to Tues night. The only problem I see is this Chicago bunch of thugs stealing the outcome - otherwise, I still believe Romney wins.

    If you still think Romney wins lift up your skirt, grab your balls and accept the $500 bet you made and quit being such a pussy
