All except for the relgion part. I sure wish conservatives would simply not refer to religion (Christianity). There are strong enough arguments for conservative views without using religion. Which only alienates the free-thinking independents and Blue Dogs who would otherwise get on board. Simply neutralize religion. Its a private thing anyway. Get rid of it completely in public and political discourse.

We can only hope. Articles like this one may be completely deluded but they make me feel better. It is still an uphill battle. Too many self-deceiving people out there like my own, loveable wife who simply will not vote against a black or against a Democrat. Not thinking very clearly but for them, its a matter of principle in no different way that my voting for conservatives is. Just different principles. We have to win the Principles War not only in the election but in the hearts and minds of our future voters, our children.

No way. Senior citizens are the most conservative people there are. I'm even going to focus on the "old folks homes" in my area to help them vote. The more old people that vote, the greater the chances of terminating Obama's second term dreams.

What the bleep are you talking about? Religion doesn't matter. Honesty, character, truthfulness, directness, those things do. Please, everybody, liberals, conservatives, whether we are personally religious or not, can we please just keep national affairs and religion separate. It doesn 't matter. Because, surprise, you can still be a moral personal and have a code of ethics and not be religious. It just shouldn't matter and shouldn't even be discussed or commented.

Ah, for one of the few days in recent years reading political blogs, I feel good!

Yes.

As a (I think we're called) Norwego-American, I am ashamed of Norway for this behavior. Does nobody there remember what being nice internationally produces? It produces a country overrun and occupied by the likes of the Nazis. One would think they would be more discerning.

The general populationg is pretty much split on most issues. So broadly speaking, one would expect the black population to be split also. But since 95% -- instead of something more like 50% (or 45% or 55%, you get it) -- about 40-45% of blacks are racist. Or stupid for voting race instead of issues or character. Any white who votes white because of white is a fool. Any black who votes black because of black is a fool.

What's the big surprise? My (white) wife voted for Obama because he was black. White Guilt is huge and along with the racist black vote, made the the difference for Obama. Oh, and also that the GOP (I'm conservative) was floating a very poor candidate. Who then chose an even poorer running mate. Its actually surprising that Obama "only" got 53% of the vote.

Blacks themselves are a serious roadblock to a post-racial America. As long as they continue to vote For Any Black Guy Even if The Most Unqualified Amateur Of All Time. Blacks have to show they are rational, logical voters before whites (who are also often Vote White Because I'm White) universaly accept them as (welcome) equals. THAT is the big rub today: Most whites have accepted the equality; they just don't like what they see as "black" choices.
