Correct, voting for Michael Steele and/or Alan Keyes demonstrates that it is not the color of one’s skin that counts, but rather the character of one’s life and the compatibility of one’s ideals with the Constitution of the United States. Hussein does not cut it ...

I am so sick of this. The first time that someone called me a racist ever in my 47 years was in phone banking the other day. I was so stung that I had to take a five minute break and get a little support from my fellow volunteers before getting back on the phones. The next time it happens, it will fly right past past me without hitting the target.

I grew up in a small Va town with exactly two black students in my high school. I never had the opportunity to really know anyone of color until I moved to Wash DC in my early 20’s. I fell azz backward into a career in the collection industry and had the opportunity to hire, train, work with people of all cultures, colors and backgrounds.

Every single person who came my way in that field knew that I would judge them on their production, work ethic, and their ability of avoid getting the company sued due to their actions. We worked together, came to each others homes for important events, played on sports teams together, well you get the idea.

Now I feel like it all gone, any progress we might have made toward “judging a man based on the content of his character” is out the window. Well so be it. Biden nor anyone else will guilt me into voting for this dangerous man so as not to appear racist. Lets fight it out to the finish folks...this is not going to get any more civil at the finish line.
