Many simply don't believe white voters are telling pollsters the truth about whom they'll back, though recent elections involving high-profile black candidates, including Mr. Obama's own primaries this year, suggest polls are fairly accurate.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Every poll tha said he was by huge numbers in various primaries were all wrong, Clinton won those primaries, by huge margins.

Whe are these people writing this dreck?

From his lips to God’s ears.

If racist whites deny 0bama the Presidency, “tough sh*t.”

If there aren’t enough racist blacks to put 0bama over the top, “tough sh*t” again.

The long-running campaign has taken its emotional toll on some blacks who are jubilant one moment and fearful the next, and the mixed feelings were evident in interviews conducted last week.

I would say it's taking a toll on many of us, regardless of color. I just can't see how a man all of whose friends hate this country could be elected to the Presidency. I think there's no way this could happen. Then I see the polls and I worry. Many of us vacillate between jubilance and fear. Blacks are not special in this.

So Mr Strother is a mind reader and knows what people intend. Someone needs to remind him that how people vote is their own business.

Americans may be ignorant and apathetic, but they’re NOT racists

In the past few weeks, if we’ve learned anything, it is if you talk about the economy, socialism, immigration or just about anything, you are labeled a RACIST!!

Time for the race baiters to join the 21st century. In the United States, for at least 60 years, bigotry has been shunned and outlawed. It wasn’t tolerated in our schools, bureaucracies or our homes. It is part of the past, a past all of us regret and never practiced, unless you are 90 years old and a democrat like Robert Byrd. There are pockets of bigotry largely among immigrant ethnic groups. Well, they’ll learn to not judge based on skin color just like our parents did if they pay attention.

Barak Obama was in REDNECK country yesterday. Take a look at the crowd.......see if you find more than 2 or 3 people of color in that crowd of thousands.

ENOUGH of the race baiting by the media and politicians running on skin color.

*Suggestion - go watch the video’s of this event in Reno,Nv. During the newscast, we noticed very few people ‘of color’. Barak is getting most of his support by whitey. So, NOW, can we please talk about the issues?

You know why they think they are oppressed? Because they have no knowledege of all the fine people of their race who have been elected to or hold positions in government ... they only hear the voices of Maxine Waters the Jackson’s and other race baters who keep them in the situation they are in. It is all about the BLING.

Evidently blacks do not believe in or agree with MLK's 'I Have a dream' speech. He wanted his children to be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Sadly, I fear that blacks and their liberal white brethren have no clue about what MLK was talking about.

Believe you are correct that some blacks would vote for any black no matter who they were.

This man running is a socialist trained by a Communist mentor in high school. He is also part of the black liberation movement that wants to take over our Government to pay back ANYONE that doesn’t agree with them. My guess is the first targets will be blacks that didn’t worship at his feet.

Obama is a dangerous candidate and needs defeated.

Some reflections:

1. Though I believe we should vote for an individual because of the content of his/her character, I do not harbor ill will to any African American who votes for Obama based on the color of his skin. Yes, it is racist in the purest sense, but this one (or first), time it is understandable to want to do so.

2. That being said, this would not be the first time that Africans have been delivered into slavery willfully at the hands of one of their own. That is how they got here in the first place. Yet, like the Jews, it surprises me how willingly they will be led to the slaughter over and over.

3. This article is chock full of racist comments about whites. You’d think that African Americans would put a little more trust or at least curb their racist comments about whites until after the election, especially since as less than 13% of the electorate, by themselves, they couldn’t get Obama elected as dog catcher.

4.I believe we’d do better reserving some of the $700B bailout by reforming immigration, repatriating the illegals and giving Africans who live here the opportunity for first class tickets back to Africa if they so choose. With some spending money for those who want to go back, this would be a form of reparation and repatriation that I would approve. For those who choose to stay, I’d like some kind of contract signed that all obligations are paid and that the choice to stay is a statement of loyalty and forgiveness to whatever grudges they hold against the United States and her citizens...a statement of full membership in this society. For those who leave, who needs Obama with all those great Marxist countries in Africa to choose from with their world class standards of living and all.
