To those of you who feel uneasy about voting for Barack Obama because of his race, please consider the following.

It has been shown that for every type of job there are some people of every race capable of doing that kind of job.

Barack Obama was raised primarily in the culture of middle America, and by sheer determination, work, and talent came from nowhere to graduate at the top of Harvard's law school.

He passed up opportunities to make many millions on Wall Street, and went to work for the poor. (He still managed to make a couple of million independently by writing good books.)

Then for a decade he worked hard and effectively in American government, focusing on such causes as respectful treatment for America's veterans, and getting corruption out of government.

It is true he is half African-American and half Irish-American. But the archaic fears of race and ethnic groups belong in a bygone era.

For one day take control of your archaic fears. For your children and their children, for your friends' children and your neighbors' children, eliminate the fog of that ancient fear, and let clarity rule your mind. And on that day vote for a major step toward a new and improved future.

If you find it hard to vote for Barack's Obama half, vote for his O'Bama half.

Thanks for the good links.

Your hateful, malicious, destructive race-baiting must end. You Democrats have been beating that dead horse far, far too long. Stop it. Stop it now.

1. Robert Byrd is a former Ku Klux Klansman, and of course a Democrat. You Democrats think because Kleagle Byrd apologized, he should be forgiven. Of course you'll never forgive Trent Lott for much less, despite his having apologized for mere remarks at a birthday party.

2. Founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a vile racist. She promoted abortion to reduce the number of blacks in America. It's working! 36% of abortions are done on black women, despite the fact that they represent only 12% of the female population.

3. Democrats deny blacks educational vouchers, which black families desperately want.
You lead blacks around by leashes, promising them anything so long as they don't stray from your plantation.

4. You treat blacks as inferior, giving them quotas, because you don't think they can make it without your benevolent patronage and condescension. Then on top of this nonsense, you blame everything on whitey, and tell black kids they can't make it no matter what they do.

You're KILLING them, literally and figuratively and you don't even give a damn.

CaliforniaDreamin,

Does this mean you're voting for Obama?
