So I have had this political blog or whatever you want to call it, I have it pretty much on automated but then again every now and then I like to grace my readers with my own spiels. I am a democrat, some call me a liberal, others just call me a retard. I think that there are alot of issues that need to be faced but then when I think of them. I keep coming back to the races and who is vying for what. Everybody is worried about what everyone else is thinking and how they are going to go about this. We as America are about what other people think. Well, if I vote for this what will joe blow down the street think of me next time we have a conversation involving politics. Vote for what you believe in. I mean step aside from any of the personality traits that these candidates have and focus on what you might consider an important issue to be fighting about.
Look at the issues, fight for what you believe in.

How’s that for a discussion? I was thinking, yeah I actually do this from time to time. Don’t tell anyone…
I think that Barack is in grave danger of being assassinated just because I personally don’t think America is ready for that extreme of diversity. I mean it wasn’t that long ago that we were separated by our color and using words that would make you cringe. I’m not saying this would be happening but there are still some very angry white people who still wonder why we have “black” folk in areas

Will There Ever Be a Black President of the US?
By Jack Goode II
If you’re ready to stop settling for what the cynics tell you, you must accept, and finally reach for what you know is possible, then we will win these primaries, we will win this election, we will change the course of history…
Barack Obama, Kennedy Endorsement Event, January 28, 2008
America has a black man running for the highest office in the land, and it’s not Bill Clinton.
To understand Senator Obama’s future chances, it helps to look at the past. Although the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) prohibited voting discrimination, most southern blacks and minorities throughout the U.S. had effectively no vote from the post-Reconstruction era through the 1960s. Through Jim Crow laws, literacy tests and poll taxes legalizing violence and intimidation, southern states were able to keep blacks’ votes out of the ballot box for nearly a century.
