No to a Black man?

I have heard that some 17% of voters say our country is not ready for a Black President (and presumably wouldn’t vote for one). If 17% admit to this you can be certain the actual percentage of voters who feel this way is somewhat greater. So, if you don’t want to vote for a Black man, let me offer you a white guy you can vote for (if you are truly that stupid). Here is a 72 year old white guy who is so white he is almost transparent. He is filthy rich, having ditched his first wife in favor of an heiress (with whom he was committing adultery prior to his divorce). He wears $520 dollar shoes, owns 10 houses and/or condominiums, travels by private jet, and accuses his Black opponent of being an “elitist.” He himself is the son and grandson of two full-fledged Admirals who managed to get him into the Naval Academy where he graduated fifth from the bottom of his class of some 895. A war hero, having survived five years in a Vitenamese prison, he eventually became a politician (with the help of his in-laws money). He is known to be very bad tempered and vindictive and has made flip-flopping on issues into a daily routine. He has accused his Black opponent of wanting to be President so badly he is willing to accept defeat in Iraq, an unprecedented accusation of treason against a Presidential opponent. He himself, however, in his quest for the Presidency, has reversed his positions on just about everything. Although he was treated very badly by George W. Bush and Karl Rove, including accusations that he had fathered an illegitimate black baby, he has subsequently embraced them (literally). Having once spurned and insulted Evangelicals he has now sought them out for their support. Having been opposed to Bush’s tax cuts he now supports them. Having been opposed to offshore oil drilling he now supports it. Claiming in an ad that he will “take on” the oil companies he just received two million dollars from those same companies after he changed his position on drilling. His solution to all problems seems to be militaristic. His history of this, as well as his current positions, are so warlike he was described just today by one reporter to be “The Most Dangerous Man on Earth.” He helped to validate this by recently agreeing that we should turn to a draft if we are to continue our military adventures. He is in favor of going to war with Iran and he also targets Russia at every opportunity. He is, in short, extremely belligerent and would apparently have us engaged in permanent war with just about anyone who doesn’t agree with us. He has said in the past that the only reason he ran for President is because he wanted to be President and yet he criticizes his Black opponent for wanting to be President. He has run a campaign so negative even some of his own supporters have balked. Seemingly nothing is below him or too disgusting when it comes to scurrilous accusations. He is, in short, both a liar and a hypocrite. He admittedly cannot win by concentrating on any of the real issues that confront our nation, so his strategy is simply to destroy his Black opponent. He wishes to continue the obviously failed policies of the Bush/Cheney administration, is mindlessly anti-abortion, a sexist, and is using race as a campaign tactic while denying that he is doing so. He is also questioning his opponent’s patriotism while at the same time denying that he is doing so. Once an honored war hero, and once praised as a straight talker, he has now proven himself to be nothing but a scumbag. So, if you don’t want to vote for a Black man who is morally and ethically far superior to him in every way, vote for him. I’m sure you will enjoy another four years of the Bush/Cheney/Rove programs.
