		<description><![CDATA[It is not about the color. It is about how people behave as a race. I think it is a racial discrimination to vote for a candidate based on the color of his skin and not his content... You have nearly 100% of black polled who will be voting for Obama. Why? Do they all agree with his everything? Or just because the color of his skin? Put it the other way. If 100% of white voted for Romney, the like of Jesse Jackson would cry bloody racism. Racism cut both ways. Many white voted for Obama and yet when racism is discussed, it is always the white who discriminates the black. But when over 95% of black who voted AGAINST McCain, one can&#039;t help thinking of a reverse racial discrimination going on. All the comments and discussions are dishonest when they automatically assume black is the only victim of racial discrimination in this country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sandy:

A third party with Mitch Daniels and Jim Webb. I&#039;d support either if they ran for their party. Obama is a failure - simple as that - his supporters can sanitize it all they want - failure is what it is.

Romney will just be an extension of that failure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think there quite a few GOP strategists who may not be particularly racist themselves, but are using race as just another way to manipulate their less-sophisticated party supporters.  The same way they have appealed to people&#039;s fears about gays, liberals, socialists, foreigners, Big Government, gun seizure, identity cards, the UN&#039;s Black Helicopters, etc.  

When the issues and differences between party positions are complex or subtle, they need something like &quot;Black Muslim Kenyan Socialist Boogyman coming for your guns&quot; to make voting and contributing to the party seem more important.  For example, try explaining to the average voter the difference between RomneyCare and ObamaCare, and why they should support one and oppose the other!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have brought up racism based on my knowledge of the Mormon founders of this new faith.  Today Romney has been playing footsie with Pat Robertson trying to tell many that Obama wants to take God out of our government  even down to our money.  I&#039;m surprised that he isn&#039;t going on and on about Obama&#039;s Kenyan birth.  There is no depth that Romney will not fall to make Obama a hated human being.

I know these Mormons and they will never stop until America becomes a Mormon nation.There is nothing kind and loving when it comes to these horrible people who want their own nation.  They will destroy Islam and of course women will be degraded as being whores.  

This is not my America.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh great, so now all non-blacks are implicitly racist and don&#039;t even know it. What utter nonsense. Were black democrats racist when they &quot;wanted their country back&quot; from Dubya? No, of course not. It was his policies of fear, unending war, and the creation of &quot;free speech zones&quot; that they hated. It&#039;s the same with Obama continuing those same policies.
&lt;blockquote&gt;“No matter how you cut it, politicians constantly seem to be accusing the other party of racism,” Woodson said, and that prevents people from having honest conversations about actual racism. “People can’t identify real racism anymore. They’re lost in all the race-baiting.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;Finally some sensibility. They use race to divide us. It&#039;s that simple.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question for raven.  What person or persons would you be able to support for President?  I&#039;ve tried to get many people who I thought would be able to keep us out of wars, out of poverty and out of debt.

I&#039;ve tried Republicans, Libertarians, Reform Party  candidates and now I will try a Democrat to head up our federal government.  These last 3 years was the first time I ever saw an entire political party organize to work on a candidate or standing President to be discarded like an old bag of trash.  

What seems to be missing is an American who means what he promises.  I never once voted or promoted anyone based on religion  because I am a non-believer and prayers are redundant in my life.

I&#039;m at the point where I can&#039;t find any human  who would be fit to lead America.  I&#039;ve never seen America in such a terrible condition where nothing can be found to make up for the past mess that has taken hold of our government.  I cannot possibly trust Gov. Romney as he has not been able to function in any way without contacting the Prophet in the Salt Lake City Temple.  

Washington D.C. was designed to work as a team with the Congress and Supreme Court and the White House..  I helped many of our Mexican workers apply and get their citizenship and explaining the three parts of our government was a thrilling experience.  

Could it be that the voters do not understand this triad of authority  Do they not realize the power they have in choosing both houses of congress combined with the Judges to work as a team?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[His success is based upon racism, but only because so many people voted for him merely because of his race.  I don&#039;t know too many conservatives who dislike him because of his color, but because of his extreme liberal ideology.  But, I know a lot of people who like him just because of his race.  It&#039;s a sad day when voters vote for someone because of guilt over past wrongs.  Wrongs that never toughed Pres. Obama since he was raised in a white home and his ancestors did not experience racism in America, since they did not come from the USA.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I fear this commentary is accurate.  I  cringe every time I hear Gov. Romney say he wants his country back.  I would ask myself &quot;Back for What?&quot; and then I realized he meant &quot;Back from what?&quot;    I also remember realizing that Mormons were a very unpopular minority and my family seldom mentioned it.  Why the lack of sympathy for blacks?

Mormons have a deep belief that they are superior and they and they alone recognize the Book of Mormon as being the true word of Jesus Christ.  They also feel they are superior due to no black blood runs through their veins.  

I read many books about the Mormon Missionaries traveling on missions all over the globe forcing a change within the new people they met along the way.  The Mormons made others feel dirty and only a baptism could clean them up before presenting them to Jesus in the after life.  Just about every member of my family believed this and I became an outcast for questioning the faith.  

This is a form of racism rejecting all who are not baptized.  Mormons think of themselves as a race of people.  Sure they take care of each other but they often reject more than they accept.  I also fear that most religions are biased rejecting all who claim a different faith. 

America was much better off when the Separation of Church and State was respected.  President Bush 43 opened a can of worms when he issued federal grants to the churches.  Human nature has not evolved enough for equality.]]></description>
