Seriously - 92% of Black Virginians voted for Obama. I think the NC number came out to be 94%.
No insight from me, just venting.
In the election in which so much is at stake, race trumps all else.
Race trumps Christian Morals
Race trumps Economy
Race trumps Wisdom
Race trumps Experience
Before I get crapped on, it should be obvious that I am not saying anything derrogatory against blacks. But when an opportunity came to get a black man into office, the "issues" didnt matter anymore to some. YouTube features the funniest and yet most disturbing vids of black people who are asked about Obama while being tagged with McCain's principles. On the other side, how many people voted for McCain for the same reason? Exit polls cant tell us, that's too bad.
There was a mentally retarded man in front of me in the ballot line who needed an assistant to help him vote. When the woman asked if he needed the electronic vote, he didnt know how to answer, his assistant took care of that. I know he has that right, but how educated can he be on the issues of our country? There's a 50% chance he cancelled out my vote. There's a 25% chance he cancelled out the democratic vote of the person behind me. (D-R-R, D-R-D, R-R-R, R-R-D for those who dont get it)
Which got me thinking. I really never understood how right you guys are when you say 80% of America doesnt know enough to make an educated vote. People hear the word change and would jump on a ship with no compass. McCain got votes because Palin is a woman. Obama got votes because he's black. McCain got votes because Obama's black.
I am not saying I know what policies are the best for our country. Im not saying I know everything about how politics work. I am saying that I spent the time to look into what each candidate stood for and who they claimed to be. As I left Heritage, I learned something about politics: It's the same now as it was in 6th grade.
