Why would I tell myself that McCain, who is not a conservative, will win by a landslide?

Your premise makes no sense.

You are right. Conservatives, i.e. 60% of the nation, are lining up to vote for Obama. That's why he is leading in the polls. Silly me.

AGG

I agree.

Your argument is silly.

If you disagree w/ the poll, show how it is flawed. If not, you'll have to figure out by yourself how the poll could be correct and your premise wrong.

I did my best to show you.

Marshmallow need your help. I don't know if you remember me but. I want you to take a look at usedandabused post. He needs your help.

Hi Dig!

Sure I remember you!

I have a few things I need to do in RL, but I will go have a look, as soon as I can.

I've wondered how you were doing. I hope all is well w/ you.

Marsh I am well. I am so happy and you are one of the many people I have 2 thank. My DH and I as well as our children are all doing great. I am so glad I didn't go down the path of temptation. But came here instead. Looking at B and what she is going through I know I would never want to be in her shoes. I made a very wise choice and I am proud of it. I have grown up so much since my first time here. I can't even believe I thought of cheating on my sweet DH. He is a wonderful man. I thank God for him everyday.

How are you and your Marsh?

Hey, Dig, do you have a link to that thread you wanted me to look at?

It's so good to hear you're doing so well, and appreciating your DH.

I'm doing great, thanks for asking.

Marsh:

I ABHOR the CONSERVATISM espoused by folks such as JESSE HELMS who vehemently opposed civil rights legislation during my growing up years. See the second paragraph. Such folks PROUDLY call themselves CONSERVATIVE. I don't want to be associated in anyway with them.


WHAT I HATE

Mimi, you forgot to mention that Jessie Helms was a democrat when he opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 along with other senate democrats. The bill would have never passed without the help of Republican votes that helped overcome the democrat filibuster.

Democrat Senator Richard Russell (D-GA) led the 83 day filibuster saying "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states." click

That is *YOUR* party. NOT conservatives.

I ABHOR racism with an equal passion and the democrats that so ardently practiced and protected racism.


What about people like this? Do you want to be associated with this?:

Former Klan Kleagel and Klan Exalted Cyclops, democrat Senator Robert Byrd? The man democrats call the "conscience of the senate?"

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

—Robert C. Byrd, Democrat's "conscience of the senate," in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd

That is who you DO associate with, Mimi.

Mimi, and I hope you don't mind my clarifying this point, because it would be a tragic injustice to mislead folks into thinking it was Republicans, and not democrats who have a long, filthy history of racism. That would be a tragic injustice committed against conservatives.

As a life long democrat and descendent of first Klan Grand Wizard, confederate war General Nathan Bedford Forest, I could not, in good conscience, let such a false implication stand uncorrected. The injustice would be profoundly immoral, wouldn't you agree?

Mimi - I think it was OBVIOUS from the very first time you posted about Obama. Obama's wife, your cohort and ON and ON you had already DECIDED who you would vote for - and that was before a SINGLE ISSUE was mentioned.

In fact, I don't know if even now you could name a single thing Obama actually stands for issue wise.

I don't have any problem with you making your decision in any way you see fit - based on race or anything else. I just find it very disingenious of you to make ludicrous claims about why you made your decision. Why not be up front about it.

Hello Mimi and BigK. Where is LG? I saw Medic earlier. I see you guys are still here. How are you all doing? Marsh I don't know how to link the thread. If you look under newest members. His name is usedandabused. Or you can
http://www.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2142935. click this link. If that doesn't work you can look under my post I have posted to his thread. Thank you for your help. It much appreciated.

That's why I changed to focus on CONSERVATISM that I am opposed to..

BigK, I am not voting for Obama JUST BECAUSE he is BLACK. That's the TRUTH.


I do highly agree with his political views. I guess you missed the part when Marsh told me about the website where there's an association made between one's political views and your candidate of choice and OBAMA came out as my pick..guess you missed that...OH WELL..

I DO LUV MICHELLE, though. You've right about that. But, she is not running for President. Her life experience is much like mine. Anyone would find someone like themself to be attractive. However, she and I are not in the SAME GENERATION so she is NOT my COHORT. If I said that, I was in error. Chrys on the forum IS a COHORT of mine....


Jessie Helms and Strom Thurmond and the like were DIXIECRATS. Yes, a faction of the Democratic Party. They broke off from the Democratic Party when it became more LIBERAL and less CONSERVATIVE.

Dixiecrats

Particularly note this from the above:


I knew this. Sorry I failed to note this, Mel.

mimi,what did you think of the blackgenocide.org website?

Hopefully you took a bit of time to educate yourself about this perverse and horrific racism that is destroying the black community.

Perhaps as a proud black woman it is time to get informed about the true nature of those that you align yourself with.

No one wants me to vote for their candidate for president. I don't think I've ever voted for a winner.

Mi Mi I am wounded. You are not speaking to me. I thought we went way back? I am just messing with you I see you are in debate mode and I just wanted to know if you could take a few minutes of your time and look at the post I listed above. You can to Big K. Thank you. I would really like all of your input. The poor guy needs help. I think you all can help him. I don't know about his W she needs the professional Dr. type help and she doesn't want it.

You mean actually HELP people?

I thought the point of this site was to engage in mindless stupid political squabbles. Do you mean we should HELP people instead?

I'm well Dig - hope you are as well.

and I'm sure you believe it Mimi. I am only going by my observations of your posts on this subject since the silly season started.

Would you have a problem if anyone voted only on skin colour? I think everyone is entitled to make their voting decision on any grounds they want to even that.

I don't agree. The dixiecrats WERE blatant racists. However, when the rest of the democrats as the majority party at the time and a few Republicans came together to overide the filibuster and pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which was SIGNED into law by then Democratic President, Lyndon B. Johnson)...the racists FLED the Democratic party. White racists TODAY are, most definitely, Republican voters. Our country and BOTH parties have a gross history of racism, however, the subset of our country TODAY that ARE still white supremist generally and undeniably, vote republican. One need only take a look at the where the "red states" are to discern which party comprises the most racists...TODAY.

I read some interesting information earlier this year stating that Obama needed to lead in polls by about 5% or more to overcome the secret racist vote. I've stated before, Obama NEEDS a huge black turnout to hopefully make a dent in such. I contend that there are MORE white racist voters than black voters in this country. Also, once we have our first Black president, IMO, race won't be such an issue in future elections. One need only to look at the Catholic vote which overwhelmingly favored Kennedy (the first Catholic president) versus the Catholic vote for John Kerry (which, as I recall, split pretty much equally between Bush v. Kerry).



On another note...which was the primary reason I decided to post. I just read an interesting article about the odd fact McCain has abandoned Michigan yet continues to campaign hard in states such as Iowa and Pennsylvania despite lagging more dramitically in the polls there. Link - McCain's campaign priorities. Well, all this talk of ACORN "stealing" the election by registering Mickey Mouse and other bogus names got me to thinking. "Registering" bogus names most likely won't ever result in fraudulent votes...however, corrupting voting machines [again] does. So why exactly is McCain still in Iowa??? Could it be that they still use a lot of Diabold voting machines??? Something to keep an eye on, perhaps. Blackvotingbox.com is.

Mr. Wondering

Yes, TWO democrats out of SIXTY SEVEN broke off from the senate but that has nothing to do with the democrats racist past and vigorous fight against civil rights.

I would point out that the Republican CONSERVATIVES in the senate were the ones who banded together to override the democrat's filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. If it weren't for those CONSERVATIVES, you might not have the right to vote today so I wouldn't be so quick to blame convervatives for the actions of RACIST democrats. That is a HATE CRIME to blame those good people for the despicable actions of racist democrats.

I would add that this was institutional racism practiced in the democrat party. For example, their own Ku Klux Klan [democrats] hosted the DNC convention in the 1920's in NEW JERSEY.

That racist history all belongs to democrats, not Republicans.
