Lemmee ask you Hawk.......If I say I'd prefer Hillary because something about Obama bothers me, how many readers do ya' figure are thinking "closet racist."

I agree with you that we are all racist to some degree.......I couldn't agree more actually. Matter of fact I said something like that on another thread a week or so back.......Anyway, my history shows I am at least at the bottom of the scale. But I'll betcha' dollars to donuts (Canadian all if you choose) that over half of the people reading this are thinking what I said.   

This reminds me of a guy Karen's sister was dating in high school. She lived with us for her final few years of school and when she started dating this guy we invited him over of course............turned out to be a total and complete jerk/asshole/supply your own term. We tried to be pleasant and all but when Heather came home that evening we told her what we thought and why as she DID ask. Needless to say she accused us of being thoughtless and even bigoted because he was a paraplegic in a wheelchair. Karen looked at her very directly and said, "That doesn't keep him from being a jerk.......his wheelchair doesn't mean he can be rude because he just feels like it."

Obama bothers me for some reason. Perhaps its the non-specific gung-ho rhetoric............hell, I dunno'..........I'll vote for him definitely if he's the candidate and keep my fingers crossed he's better than Jimmy Carter.

Like I keep saying, the system is in need of a revolution.
