I was raised in a Democratic household...but also a democratic household...one not being capitalized. As with all the things my family taught me as a child, I revisited my views as an adult. And here I am...still a Democrat. <BR/><BR/>I will cast my vote for Obama...and pray that God gives him the widsom and guidance needed during his tenure. If he makes a mistake...I will voice my opinion. We are in a democracy...so I can do that. I know, Phelps, you are use to the past 7 1/2 years when we haven't been able to do so without being put on terrorist watch list...but it's still one of our rights. And when he hits one out of the park...I will stand and cheer. He is human...he will make mistakes. And he has a lot of menure to clean up since 2000...so I know we can't look at him as the man to fix it all. He's a politician...not Jesus. <BR/><BR/>But it feels good to know that so many people are backing a man of honor, integrity, intelligence, and someone who truly cares about what happens to me and mine...AND WHO IS BLACK. And I'm not saying I think he cares because we are the same color. Obama is a man who cares about people of all colors. <BR/><BR/>Shawn Williams...I'm really surprised that you were surprised by Phelps' comments. Every comment he makes is of a closed mind.Newerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779486488524257682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344589945668719463.post-6188254108813356392008-10-20T18:17:00.000-05:002008-10-20T18:17:00.000-05:00Shawn, Let it go.

I knew the grapes were getting sour, but I didn't know they were shriveling up into raisins.<BR/><BR/>It's skin color you say? Put Michael Williams on a ticket and see how he does with the Black Vote. How well did George W. Bush do with the Black Vote in Texas? He got mine I'm ashamed to say.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, you negated your own point by saying its a Democrat thing. Well how do you explain Tom Lepert v. Don Hill? Tom Leppert -registered Republican- enjoys a very good standing in the Black Community. This is real stinky Phelps.Wax Poetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568201595808213166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344589945668719463.post-27613518326494751622008-10-20T12:15:00.000-05:002008-10-20T12:15:00.000-05:00I'll say it was based on skin color. Endorsing is...I'll say it was based on skin color. Endorsing is different than voting.<BR/><BR/>Black people are unable to vote for any other reason than the candidate is Democrat. You voted for Obama over Hillary because Hillary isn't black.<BR/><BR/>And if Obama wins, you'll spend three and three-quarters of his four years complaining about what a terrible president he is in private, and then vote for him again in four years.Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270536870200063563noreply@blogger.com
