    Re: Redsh
    I like your ideas about the government getting out of the way, but Obama will only make this Government larger, he will make sure the government controls all the resources you talked about above. Just read his papers, his ideas and you will understand how much he wants government to control your life. His words, not mine.

    Re: micky

    So Obama wrote a book….wow he can spread his lies on paper. Anyone can "sound" Christian if they want to because it's what that person is trying to push on to everyone. As for him not being influenced by the Muslim religion….check your facts. He participated in many Muslim activities. And who's to say that he's not just putting on a front to win the election and then go back to his Muslim roots and ruin our country (not that it isn't far from ruining itself). Everyone is always talking about what Hillary proclaims, Obama and McCain…..they are ALL liars. That's what our Presidential candidates are trained to do. Tell the people what they want to hear and then the do what they want when they get into office. Both of the front-runners suck. Neither one of them is going to be a good President. Obama has no experience whatsoever and McCain is…well a dumbass. Atleast McCain has experience and actually fought for our country and was a POW but I still won't vote for him or Obama. When is Ross Perot running again?….

    Oh puleez! It's juvenile but no worse than all the "cracker" comments when Bill Clinton was elected (I'm old enough to remember), there were endless jokes about junk cars on the white house lawn, double-wide trailers etc… People can be moronic, Black or White. It didn't stop bill from being elected twice, and won't stop Barack either.

    some people should keep their ideas to themselves, only. like the creator of this pin. Not funny ! And then, the American People say their country is not good enough… why? Just because they cared more about the collor of the president then about what they think and what they do…

    AUSTIN – The Republican Party of Texas will donate to charity the $1,500 it received for leasing a booth at its state convention to a vendor who sold a racist button.

    GOP spokesman Hans Klingler said the state party has been unsuccessful in trying to reach the vendor, Republicanmarket.com, who sold pins, scarves and other items last weekend.

    So the party is sending a letter saying in “very strong terms” that he need not apply to sell items at any further state GOP events, Mr. Klingler said.

    He said that the party, while approving the lease to the vendor, was unaware of offensive merchandise that was being sold there. One of the pins they were selling stated: “If Obama is president…Will we still call it the White House?”

    The Dallas Morning News wrote about the pin being sold Saturday on its Trail Blazers blog and posted a picture of the pin. The story drew attention from several national news sites and blogs Tuesday and created a storm of reaction, particularly at Texas GOP headquarters.

    The booth was leased by Jonathan Alcox of Florida. He could not be reached for comment.

    The Republican Party is still determining which charity will receive its donation.

    Mr. Klingler said he and party leaders believe the pin is distasteful and they hated that it was being sold at their event, which he said was upbeat and dedicated to unity.

    One would think that it's about time for change in this country. I understand that we have our differences and that's all good but ignorance is something folks just ain't big enough to get over. All these white motherfuckers voted Bush's ass in office and he's the other motherfucker in this country that ain't affected by the state of the Economy. Look around American, Our folks are dieing everything in Iraq, our pockets are getting lighter and lighter everyday, cost of food and gas is going up day by day, folks losing their homes, and their will to live in this country, and all you can do is make fun and racist jokes about a black man that might be the president of the country? Why don't you take that hate to the Motherfucking Bush Administration and tell them we demand a better leader? Stop the hate you white motherfuckers. Let's unit.

    The racism in this state is horrifying, disgusting and rampant! People who have lived here all their lives will try to say different but as a queer from a liberal state who moved here this place is crazy with racism and I hate to call it my home.
    So many people here cannot look at anything but color in who they will vote for or even speak to!
    I hate the backward bullshit this state clings to. Fuck racism and all the ignorant people who sit by and let it continue!

    1237

    This makes me completely sick. First of all, as long as people are happy being ignorant, then race will always be an issue in this country. Secondly, Mr. Obama is bi-racial. He's as much white as he is black. Even if he was 100% black, who cares? Get over yourselves, America!

    Re: Redsh – First, that makes no sense - he wants more government involved not less! Second, people decided to live above their means and buy houses they couldn't afford. People opted for the balloon payment loans. Credit cards are another reason people are struggling. NOT WHO IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Free healthcare would be the biggest mistake of all! We are fed - have you ever been to a third world country and seen "poor", our poor people are FAT and LAZY because our govt. are the one's taking care of them. We as a country have taken away the rewards of hard work because we pay their way and they don't have to work for their food and money.

    To the comment below about outsourcing…who do you think companies are going to push the MUCH higher costs of keeping outsourced jobs in the US? To the consumer which is you and me. It may create more jobs for some, but it will affect MILLIONS of people in the increased prices of products and services. For example, the steel industry is not outsourced to foreign countries just in case a war breaks out and we will have the availability and know-how to build ships, planes etc… But those jobs cost the government about $525,000 per person to keep the steel industry going in the US!!! Outsourcing actually helps the economy of the world including us by saving us money. We want competitive markets…

    you could think of this from another standpoint too - the creators of this pin aren't necessarily saying it's a bad thing if Obama is elected. They are just commenting on the new level of diversity America will have achieved!…finally a black man has pushed through the multiple glass ceilings in politics that prevent people that are non-status quo (white, male, hetero).
    it sounds more like they're mocking the american political machine - rich white men who think they know what's best for our country!
    GO OBAMA! All the power to you!

    Poor taste, but not out of line when compared to the stuff being sold on the left side of the isle. Both sides are equally at fault. This button chose race as it's message, but there are equally as many buttons/tshirts insulting Bush's intelligence, race, religion, etc. You're only offended because it's about your guy.

    to those who are saying 'lighten up, its a funny pin, stop being so PC, blahblahblah', i think the point is that it was selling at a republican convention. if it HAD been a comedian, chris rock or whatever, it'd be more excusable because it would have been within the context of humor. it would have obviously been meant only to make people laugh. but as its being sold at a GOP convention it takes on more political tones: ie dont vote for him because his blackness will soil the white house. also, although the GOP probably isnt publicly condoning it, by allowing it to be sold during their convention they are implicitly approving of it. and that is what i find disgusting.

    Re: Taylo – Look at SOUTH AFRICA…and WIKI while you're at it! ARE YOU INSANE? GREAT BRITAIN RUINED SOUTH AFRICA just like every other country they went to. READ BITCH! Today, millions of South Africans, mostly black, continued to live in poverty. This is partly attributed to the legacy of the apartheid system…that would be the BRITISH RULING SYSTEM. WHITES controlled everything. So yes, LET'S LOOK AT SOUTH AFRICA: The discovery of diamonds and later gold triggered the conflict known as the Anglo-Boer War as TTE BOERS AND THE BRITISH fought for the CONTROL of South Africa's mineral WEALTH. THAT's WOULD BE THE XHOSA'S and ZULU'S wealth…NOT the BRITISH. All the British have ever done is loot, pillage and plunder so what the hell are you smoking?
    According to you Whites will be killed and enslaved under a nation ruled by apes…WHITE PEOPLE RULED South Africa and as you said… Look at South Africa. Looks like all the "apes" needed to do to CONTINUE to have wealth was KILL THE BRITISH and all would have been well. Be careful what you wish for.

    Isn't it also disgusting how democrats have a commercial out saying that to be a "cool democrat" you have to be a slut. In the commercial they show a "republican girl" leaving the bedroom before they had sex and the guy is all pissed. I'm sorry but if I were a democrat woman I would be a pissed off that they are saying you need to be a whore to be a democrat. Stupid Liberals, you are the decay of this society.
