Is there anyone honest enough to admit they are more Against Obama because of RACE than they are For McCain? ?

Question

I've encountered more than one old friend who always Voted Democrat who "Will Not Vote For Obama," and after further discussion with them the ugly truth became obvious.

Answer 1

Im against Obama because of his policies and his rather shady background. I didnt support any of the democrats, but in truth mccain wasnt my first choice on the republican ticket either. He will get my vote because he isnt a democrat. Palin helps though. I like her policies and accomplishments thus far.

Answer 2

Only idiots vote based on the superficial, intelligent voters will vote on the issues. Gods willing these friends of yours and those like them will stay away from the voting booth.

Answer 3

I think that many will decide against Obama not because he is black but because he is too much show and not enough substance. He is a celebrity but not really a viable choice for president. Of course not many politicians are viable candidates for president. The truth is, our election process has become a circus in which clowns parade around and try to make us feel good. There is simply no way to predict what kind of president either candidate will make. You simply have to accept the fact that someone will lead America and he is guaranteed not to be the best man for the job. Regardless of which one it is.  

Answer 4

I am so sick of hearing about Democrats who supposedly won't vote for Obama because they're racist.  Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe there are people out there who have Democratic views, but believe that McCain is the better person to lead our country? Maybe there are other reasons people don't want to vote Obama, everybody should just stfu about the race thing already, it's so played out.

Answer 5

I've found that out a lot too, it has nothing to do with his experience, it comes down to his color.  

Answer 6

Someone could change Obama's skin color to white and I still won't vote for him.

Answer 7

I'm sorry but i dont play the gender card..obama rocks no matter what

Answer 8

NO, he is just not known as well as others in Politics.

With all of the bad e-mails going around ,people don't

trust him either. he is a good looking man with a clear

voice. he is very young too. People aren't ready for change

to a different race they can't trust. General Colin Powell

was a very trusted black man and likeable too. He did not

want the job of presidency and chose to retire. see the

difference ?

Answer 9

Didn't you notice that Obama was raised by a 100% white birth mother and grandparents?  Too bad people judge based on how a person is born rather than what they offer today.

Answer 10

I have read answers on Y!A saying just that.

Several answers saying they won't vote for him because he's black

here's one:

PROOF OF RACISM right there. Why are people STILL denying it??

People are surprisingly honest on the internet. In real life "racism doesn't exist".

On Y!A: Kill all the f-in asians and N words and mexicans

lol, cowards

Answer 11

I was ready to vote for him until I heard he is wanting more gun control laws/bans.  The race didn't play into it at all.  I just didn't like McCain, but his running mate seems like a good choice, and he is old, so he may die and she may take over.  I'm voting McCain.

Answer 12

You people have got to stop this.  You are begging for racism that's just not there any more. Not like you want it to be anyway.

I say sir, that it is you that is the racist. Simply because you just keep looking for it when it's NOT there.

There are to many black leaders in this country today for this uncontrolled racism that you and so many others so desperately seek.

Edit... Princess linked to a Question that "proved" the racism in this country... Go read it 1 (one)  stupid "cause he's white" remark. I don't see the overt racism. it's just not there.  

Sorry the race card just aint gonna work...........

And keep the thumbs down coming.. Just cause you don't like the truth don't mean it isn't the truth.......

Answer 13

it is Ethnicity. Obama is an ARAB....

That will not admit he is an ARAB..

Many Arabs are Moslems

He is a Moslem that won't admit he is a Moslem.

And some Moslems are terrorists...

But I would not vote for him..because he is a Socialist...wacko leftie.

I don't care what ethnicity he is or isn't.

I am honest enough to admit it..it just is not true.

Answer 14

Mad person tell what he want tell.

Answer 15

I am voting for Obama! Not because of the color of his skin, but because he is the best Candidate!

John McCain is going to lose, especially more so now with his surprise VP choice...

Answer 16

Just look at the ignorant answer you get. SAD.

Answer 17

Of course their are still racists out there...

Answer 18

i don't care what race he is. i won't vote for him because of his ethics and his political ignorance.

also, his campaign has MADE race a factor by constantly talking about it. so they shouldn't be surprised when voters don't vote for him because of it.

Answer 19

There will always be people like that. I just ignore them because they know they're hypocrites already.

Answer 20

I'm only against Obama because he is a socialist that is going to raise our taxes. That's all. We can't afford Obama.

Answer 21

How many times u libs. gonna ask this question?! Yes, there are a tiny minority of people who won't vote for him because of his race, BUT the overwhelming majority are not voting for him because of his stance on issues and his lack of experience. Don't play the race card on us, its not gonna work.  

Answer 22

So you assume that people who don't support Obama don't care about the issues at hand, and don't notice the fact that he's inexperienced for the job of President of the US?????

Answer 23

If so, that's stupid .. not that it matters .. but Obama is part white also .. Racist pricks !
