    Obama is white. Why would white people care?

    More importantly, why do you 'care' that 'some' disagree with him due to racism? Let's presume of the 54% or so who are anti-Obama, 10% of them are racists,
    does that somehow mitigate the views of the other 44%? Guilt by association, even though these several millions of Americans hadn't met each other or insofar as spoke with one another?

    How does it provide a blanket for the President to hide behind? Has he truly been beyond reproach? Let me be clear: Many, including me are Anti-Obama because he's happened to be a mix of Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter, with a blank check from his rather distraught supporters.

    Economically, like Wilson he's bailed out big banks while promoting social warfare(Infact, said warfare is now your campaign strategy since you've done next to nothing for 6 years). Foreign Policy wise, like Carter he has weakened us abroad. Not only by promoting suspect means, but sometimes taking unilateral action that gives our enemies propaganda.


    America needs a new Sir Kennedy. We need a Statesman to save us from our time of peril.

    You seem confused by my post, let me clearify, the OP made a statement and I stated that the statement was not true and they then revised their statement then repeated the orginal statement. Pssst, I know there are racists in Both Parties, seems like some do not like to admit the fact that their side includes morons that on base their opinions on ones color.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I never said any of the things YOU suggested. Have your opinion, everyone has one, but if it is based on race then yes your opinion means nothing to me or any other rational person if it is not then opinionate away. Clear up your confusion?

    Seems as if Iamkurtz does not know he is on Ignore and has been for a long time now, meaning I do not see their posts, nor do I peek, the notifications still include them as having replied. Sooo, you are wasting your time attempting to post your "stuff" to me.

    Yep, that's how the game is played. Politics is the dirtiest game in town. Always has been, always will.

    """Pssst, I know there are racists in Both Parties, seems like some do not like to admit the fact that their side includes morons that on base their opinions on ones color.""

    Isn't that the truth. I still think things should be debated on ideology side of the coin, not whether a person "might" be racist. I'm not racist in the lest but ideologically I do NOT agree (Ooops, the "did" was typing two fingered to fast and not prof reading what I posted) with most everything the Democrats have come up with regardless of color. I disagree with changing the way things are counted. "Oh, 800,000 people have dropped out of looking for a job so they must be counted as employed". They have to be counted that way by this administration because they are NOT counted as unemployed. I disagree with MAKING a person choose between 4 medical programs THEY think is right instead of allowing a person to buy what they want, what the need , and what they can afford. $1380 a month for me is NOT affordable. I do not agree with their take on the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution and will fight them all the way on it. In fact, I can't think of anything I agree with them on.

    Since i made a typing era you might want to re-read what I wrote and see if we still agree. I think there might be a little friction there now.

    I see you added a bit on Obamacare, too bad it was not the truth. You can still shop for your own insurance and there are a lot more than four policy options available to those that went through the exchanges, many at far cheaper than $1380 per month so.....

    You seem to be making an excuse for this guy in saying that anyone that disagrees with Obama is racist. Your game of parsing my words is silly, because I said I can agree with you that a small percentage would disagree with him because of his color, and I also mentioned that would apply to a white president, there are just pure pathetic racists out there that society will never rid themselves of. This congress piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) made a blanket statement, and it is offensive, so offensive I hope it resonates on through this years elections, because that is how pathetically desperate the democrats are

    Nope, that is not what I did, I questioned someone making a blanket statement. Nice try.

    If you are simply looking for someone to argue with we are done. Both sides have their racists and both use as a political tool, both are wrong to do it, simple as that.

    Well then we are done, because for the third time I agree with you. Although, if you think republicans make those blanketed racial accusations please post it, because I have never heard a republican say anything near as abhorrent as this democrat did accusing anyone that disagrees with Obama is racist. (notice the operative word, anyone?)

    10% of republican base are racist?

    That's a lot of people. it seems the republican party has a much more severe problem than most admit to if those numbers are true.

    I was using a 'liberal' projection to make a point. Are the other 44% guilty by association, even if they hadn't met the 10% or even spoke with them?

    Of course not but surely they have a responsibility to clean the crap off their own toilet floor. Personally if I was invited to join any organisation which sported 10% racists Id decline.

    It is pretty obvious that here is another democrat congressman that is not the brighest piece of chrome in the grill. Who are the fools that vote a dimwit like him into office.

    It's the same type of idiots who keep putting those wacko Dems into the mayor's office of New York City . . . and then wonder why the rest of the nation consider them to be vying with the entire state of California for the most clueless leftwingers in the world whenever their inevitably lunatic mayor does or says something totally off the wall; because they'd rather see New York City go up in flames than keep putting sane and competent Republican mayors into the office.

    Hell . . . that's why Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston keeps getting returned to the U.S. House even though the people who keep rubber stamp returning her to office KNOW that she's not only crazy but dumb as dirt. Oh and she's also openly a racist.

    Not the truth??? Go look at the Washington State Health Exchange. And this is their Silver plan (why would i want anything less than what i have now??) We can't get the Gold plan I guess they think we are to old. I make a little over $65,000 a year so am not eligible for any discount. Then we have this little rider;

    Out of Pocket Costs

    Your out-of-pocket maximum for a Silver plan (not including the premium) can be no more than $12,700.

    So tell me, where am I lying??? The Washington State Health care program wants $1,380 a month for their silver plan for me and my wife. So where am I lying???

    you were in and out of the service before 1968 and you're only earning $65K? wow.

    I'm retired and don't have to work a minute for the rest of my life and I make way more than that. Where did YOU go wrong?

    The left uses idiotic utilitarian (what is good for the collective with no regard for individual rights and freedoms) to justify restriction of rights. (Ends justify the means arguments ... Yep)

    We get this from both the left and right these days. How often have we heard "if it saves one life" or similar stupidity as an argument to make a law or regulation.

    The problem is lack of education in Philosophy (Logic - what is a valid argument and so on). Almost no Gr. 12 graduates know much about what a logical fallacy is never mind being able to refute stupid arguments fed to them daily by politicians and the mass media.

    That's right, Expa, but for the education I have, the age I'm at, that's not bad. In fact, it's a lot more than a lot of young collage grads are making.

    Hey, Expa, I never graduated from High School. In fact, I quit in the 10th grade because I couldn't read. My young wife taught me the first year we were married. And before you start running off at the mouth, I was 17, right out of Boot Camp, and she was 18.

    You can't read and comprehend very well can you. I didn't say my uncle was in Korea, I said a family member. He is a Brother-in-law to be exact. My father and all my uncles were in WW2. So tell us, what did a chair polisher like you do in the Navy??? What were your Great accomplishments?? As a boiler tender my rating was closed after E-5 unless you re-uped, I didn't. Yes, Expa, I joined in 63' and was out before you ever joined. My wife and I have been married for 51 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way.
