Good post.

I work with a nurse who is black....

She mentioned that one of her kids stated...."Mom, you are voting for Obama right?"

She told them "No"....the kid said "What....? He's the first black POTUS candidate. Why not?"

She said...."He's not what he seems to be".....

I told her...good for you!!

FRegards,

If it was Michael Steele, Lynn Swan or even Cowboy Troy...I’d be ready.

Or Dr. Thomas Sowell, or Dr. Walter Williams, or Dr. Condeleeza Rice...

"Is America ready for a black president?"

Not the racist, sexist, Marxist, lying thief of the truth, terrorist loving obama. No way this American would ever vote for that man.

But I would be oh so proud to vote for Ken Blackwell for president 2012. Or even Michael Steel. But never that obama.

If Obama were a white Democratic candidate, he'd be running away with this race."

....if they told the truth, was transparent about their past,and didn't lay down ground rules before accepting a nomination.....maybe

Anytime I see an obama supporter I think, there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Black — yes. There are several good choices.
Arab Muslim — no.

"...If Obama were a white Democratic candidate, he'd be running away with this race."

If Obama were a white Democratic candidate, he'd be John Edwards. In other words, he's too much of a lightweight to have been nominated, if not for his melanin levels. He'd have been eliminated in the primaries.

So I'm a racist bigot because I won't vote for the least qualified, least experienced, least capable, most liberal, most pro-abortion, most pro-sodomy, most anti-2nd Amendment, nominee of a major party in history?

I honestly don't care one whit what color Obama's skin is. But I really believe that he is a serious danger to the security of the US and to the liberties of it's people, and the only way I would ever vote for him would be if someone was holding a loaded gun to the head of my wife or one of our children.

Any of those guys would be fine with me, although I don't know anything about this Cowboy Troy person I'll take your word for him. But I would be delighted beyond words to vote for Thomas Sowell as president for life of the entire world.

Pres. David Palmer on ‘24’

Heck yeah! I'd trust Sergeant Major Blaine from THE UNIT anyday! This is SNAKE DOCTOR, over.

But most this thread misses the point, although all the comments are cogent and well reasoned and passionate. The article isn't talking about conservatives. Not even neocons. This article is addressing the (pardon me, but I just gotta) unspoken shame in the Democratic Party. Their ummmmm black sheep, so to speak. Those Good Old Boys who reside in the deep south and by day are well respected upstanding bulwarks of society but turn into cross burnin' night riders on a Friday night. His ship is going to be torpedoed by white democrats.

Maybe the question should be, “Is America ready for a muslim, Marxist president with terrorist connections?”
