What do you think of Arab-American Ralph Nader?
Richard Trumka is a union thug whose words have no merit. I'm weary of feckless white guilters nibbling on dark penis.
I am proud to support the best man with the right stuff to rise to the occasion of fixing what the Bush Administration has broken. He will also be the notice served by the American people that the cancerous evil of racism in the United States has reached the tipping point toward extinction. November forth McCain's campaign nave will encounter an Obama tsunami as Americans stand up to say enough is enough, and elect a man who will be instrimental in keeping the American Republic alive for a long time to come.
I'm just wondering how you rationalize the betrayal by the majority of the Democratic controlled Congress in relation to funding more war, not bringing the troops home. Also what about Pelosi and "no impeachment". Those two issues alone are enough to show everyone they're compromised, as is Obama, I strongly suspect.
Nader? I admire him, but remember I am the man who did my small part to enhance the chances of a Democratic win in the then swing state of Oregon by uncovering severe petitioner fraud as Republican money worked to get Ralph on the ballot by funding this effort. Nader had had two mini convention that had failed to get a thousand signatures one night at one place as Oregon law allows, so reducing the available choices on the presidential ballot by one did not bother me. The people and past strong supporters of Nader like me had spoken, and it was good to see a Republican gambit of divisiveness fail, and to be the whistle blower that made it fail. I am not for Nader this time, I am for the best man running for president currently, Barack Obama.
We shall see what a larger margin of Democrats in the House and Senate means with an excellent man with high motivation to succeed, energy and talent in the White House. I expect that this change to be a big part in an end to this expensive endless war and this economic nightmare this 22 percent approval rating president has brought us these past eight years.
I asked "how you rationalize the betrayal by the majority of the Democratic controlled Congress in relation to funding more war, not bringing the troops home. Also what about Pelosi and "no impeachment". "
PING
The white leadership of unions no more speaks for white union workers than the white leadership of the United States speaks for white Americans. But hopping up and down like a monkey to the organ grinder's tune is one way to make a living.
You know how sometimes you get up and go to the kitchen, and then you're like, what did I come in here for? And you end up doing something completely different? Yeah, it was just like that. Except in this case, the fate of both our nations was at stake.
that's the crux of your support for this guy. that's your most important issue. that's the *change* you desire. i'm convinced that were he white, you'd not be on board with any of his positions/policies. it's more of the same with him and the democrats. let's see now. he eagerly signed onto the bailout package doing his part to screw every one us. i cannot for the life of me understand how you can ignore that. btw, this economic disaster didn't begin with this bush administration. administrations, beholding to their banker bosses, from both branches of the establishment party have done this. what we're seeing now is the culmination of their decades long plan.

He will also be the notice served by the American people that the cancerous evil of racism in the United States has reached the tipping point toward extinction. November forth McCain's campaign nave will encounter an Obama tsunami as Americans stand up to say enough is enough, and elect a man who will be instrimental in keeping the American Republic alive for a long time to come. I have to give you credit, Mike. Like "...Pollyanna (who) brings so much gladness to her aunt's dispirited New England town that she transforms it into a pleasant place to live." you try to uplift this place, your community and the world by sheer willpower and positive thinking." And, just because I can't change the world doesn't mean that you can't. But, later if you discover that racism is a human problem and Barack isn't the solution, I hope you won't be too disappointed. I mean, do you really expect professional civil rights workers to say, "I'm no longer needed. Let's fold the NAACP-CORE-SPLC-etc., and go get honest jobs somewhere!"? No, Mikey, as long as one white person fails to vote for Obama, racism will be alive and well and need constant monitoring by well funded "watchdogs" who ferret out evil "white ethnocentrism". In fact, if President Barack gives into the whiners and tries to use the power of govt to "commission studies" to further force blacks upon whites he'll make things much worse. This is what happened in the 60's when already dissipating racial animosities were rekindled with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and The Civil Rights Act of 1968. I hope he wins, too. It will either prove or disprove the theories of the master planners, and the country will either be at peace or we'll be at war. Either way white folks will no longer be asleep at the wheel. And, you'll be in for a big surprise when your black in-laws run you off instead of finally accepting you. And maybe we whites can have our wonderful schools back, and blacks can do...well, whatever the Hell they like with their kids during school hours.
Well, black fathers are all but non-existent and black mothers would be living in coconut trees were it not for the largess of American taxpayer. So, a hardy fuck-you to self-appointed white racial avengers. Should they lay a finger on me or someone I love I'll take their heads off. Let the racial divide grow wide and deep. I'm done with Marxist trash, both black and white.
Yep, bring it on. Just as easy to process blacks into bio-heating oil and pet food as it is with jews.
Nice rant, brutha. Last time I ranted on this topic I got gang fanged, so....I'll just sit and wait for the interracial love fest to spread far and wide.... Or not. It won't surprise me if someday Mikey explains how his in-laws welcomed a visit from him but their neighbors chased him away with bike chains and baseball bats! Yup, as long as one white votes against Obama all are guilty! KILL DAT HONKY! "You sound white. What choo dewin' talkin' on a NEW AFRICA PHONE????""__from Fritz The Cat

If it wasn't for the white man all blacks would still be living in stick-and- mud huts.
The stupider people are, the more surprised they are when you kill them.
Racism is a one way street and whitey is always going the wrong way. The really sad galling part is that this "racism" is kept alive by white guilters.
