NevarKeep Race out of this Race.

Don’t dislike Obama because he is black, and don’t dislike him because you think he is a terrorist (he isn’t). You should dislike Obama because of his politics, or because of any words or actions you dislike. Hell if you can’t find anything wrong with him and dislike McCain, vote for Obama. I have heard lots of people saying that their vote will stay home this year. I honestly think all Americans should vote and think about their vote before casting it.
People voting against Obama because he is black are as stupid as people voting FOR him because he is black. This is 2008 and racism should be a thing of the past but sadly it is not. And racists know this, you are stupid and you sound stupid when you spout that crap.
Case in point, I got involved in a political discussion the other day with a woman and another guy who is a friend of mine. He was trying to get her to go vote against Obama. She isn’t intending to vote and I am not sure if she ever has to tell the truth.
My friend and I gave several points against Obama she listened and seemed interested. She then says “ I wouldn’t vote for Obama because he is Muslim. Lots of people will vote for him because he is black. They don’t know he is really Muslim”
Thank God this girl is cute because she wasn’t dealt much in the brain department. This girl not only is racist against Obama, she actually thinks Muslim IS a race. I have to wonder how many people are actually going to vote for McCain because he is white.
And of course people will vote for Obama because he isn’t white and not just African Americans. Some will say it is time for an African American President and vote for him for just that reason. The same people who would have voted for Hilary Clinton because she is a woman. I say we do a write in campaign and vote for Condoleezza Rice and kill two birds with one stone!
Please if you are going to talk about politics take some time to learn about the issues and talk like you have SOME intelligence. Leave race out of this Presidential Campaign and let the issues decide your vote.

The worst part is people letting racism cloud there otherwise (hopefully) sound judgment. I mean there's people on Orble belting out rhetoric about how bad Obama's policies are and I can't help but think they're just kicking stones cos he's black.
McCain, just seems to be getting a free wide care of the KKK...
And, sadly, I don't know if things would be all that different down under- To my knowledge, we've never had anyone of colour running for Prime minister.
