Election Day, the election yo Options

[dabutcher]

Lets not talk about this topic too much as it might get ugly, but lets see who the live fans on this board would vote in.

[Existentialist]

I think it's outrageous to criticize someone for voting for a candidate that stands no chance. I am writing in Ron Paul. Personally I think Nader is a cocksucking idiot, but good for Nick for voting for him if that's who he likes. I'm a little tired of our two party bullshit.

Reasons not to vote for Obama:

Why is all of this going unnoticed by the media????
They send 1000 reporters to Alaska to dig up something on Sarah Palin
and they have this right in front of their eyes!

Excerpts from Obama's books:


From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the
age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was
ingratiating myself to whites.'




From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive
sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'



From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me
wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'


From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side
you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out
and name names.'


From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men
whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the
black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought
in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And the most damning one of all:


From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the
political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

And?

All I heard hear were 2 points, most from his older book.

1) Obama is proud to be black... so? What is wrong with being proud of your heritage? I'm proud of mine!

2) Obama will side with Muslims... What's wrong with Muslims? I completely fail to see why this is damning.

He's proud to be black, and ashamed of being white.
