The last time we witnessed the shady victory of a man who turned out to be the worst president in US history.

That was way back in 1975.

Richard Milhous Nixon was the thirty-seventh President of the United States serving from 1969 until his resignation in 1974.

That's right, dys. But the worst president in US history was campaigning in 1975.

I see. You think society should be colorless, and that's why you're voting for a black man. Taking your post at face value -- and I concede I don't know you, and don't know what all of the factors are -- that appears to be the only reason you're voting for him.

If you truly wanted a colorless society, you would stop looking at people on the basis of their skin color. That, to me, was Dr. King's message. When I look at Obama, I don't see a black man ... I see a candidate whose policies I don't agree with ... that's the reason I won't support him. I think if everyone would start looking at people for who they are and what they stand for, we would achieve your stated goal. Until that time, so long as people -- including yourself -- continue to regard people on the basis of skin color, that goal will never be achieved.

I don't at all think Tico is a racist but i to think tico is stuck in a rigid box of labels concerning liberal/conservative which excludes his ability to deal with issues beyond the pale of labels. Sad, I think because I for one have many issues of complained re both liberals and conservatives but feel unable to voice them on this forum because of the locked-up brains of people like Tico and okie. It must be comforting to just go with "liberal=evil vs conservative=good" well, at least it must feel like a simplistic way to go for the feable minded. I suppose one must keep in mind that law schools teach one how to argue a case to win rather than how to argue a case to discover truth, it's the nature of the beast.

And I go with liberal-good and conservative-evil! Get a dictionary and look the word up, instead of your self-interpretation! I'm not a lawyer and don't pretned to be one and resident know it all, like some posters profess to be! It's why this country is in trouble from narro-wminded people, who are taught racial predjudice! Race is still the biggest problem in this country!

I am sure there are many Democrats, such as myself, who decided to vote for Clinton before Obama became a factor in the election. I see no reason to change my vote based on color/gender, at this point.

He just happens to be black! I reject Hillary, because she has no record, yet she lies that she does! She's injected race, as did Biden in one of his comments! No where in my post did I say, I was voting for Obama, because he is Black! YOU injected race, not me! It just kills me that these campaigns want to be "allwhite", ALL the Time! If I can vote for a white person, why can't I vote for a Black one, who is qualified? Are you a racist?

when I look at Obama I don't see a black man. Does that sound like a racist to you?
