U.S. Presidential race - Democrat Discussion

Not so much that he's black as it is that he's a member of a racist black nationalistic group (who hates white people with a passion)

You'd be cool with a white guy in sheets hanging outside a polling place?

This is bullshit, there were members of the black panther party that were white. MC5 were members and are a relatively big name in punk rock. The key word in all this is also 'were', as in, the only thing that makes these folks members is the color of their skin.

I would be perfectly cool in seeing a white guy, without assuming he is a member of the clan.

They are black supremacists. They hate everyone else. And from their rhetoric, white people and anyone else should be concerned for their safty. Just as minorities in America should be concerned when it comes to the KKK or skinheads.

This is bulkshit, open a history book. You are quoting the racist propoganda of over 50 years ago. We have been over this, history books have been written. This is members:

And this is its leadership.

What happened at RNC, that would lead you to believe this is some sort of leadership of an organization? I bet the leader is also a French model... Bonjour...

Yeah, I'm with KingHorse on this one, the NBPP is basically a black version of the KKK.

The Black Panther Party of 50 years ago may have had more lofty goals, but the NBPP has none of that.

Condescension aside, their self identification as leadership of the NBPP is what lead me to believe that they're, you know, some sort of leadership within the NBPP. Perhaps they lied and I was a fool to believe them? It's possible. Much more likely than them being French models anyway.

Voter ID? It's only been in the news for months. My great-aunt will no longer be able to vote because she lacks the mobility to obtain a photo ID.

I'm confused at how she's mobile enough to vote, but not mobile enough to get an ID.

Likely absentee voting. If it didn't go until the last minute, I'm sure that there are workarounds for disabled citizens.

[e] Nevermind, an ID wouldn't be required in absentee voting.

Joining the chorus. I've seen some of their little rallies here locally, and these people are some fucking vile racists.

I don't get what this is supposed to show me. Absentee balloting isn't contingent on ID, as far as I know.

Perhaps I wasn't clear - I don't understand how someone's ambulatory status affects their capacity to vote as it pertains to voter ID.

Absentee votes; we bring her a ballot.

I'm obviously misunderstanding something. Doesn't she not need ID then?

[Rukentuts]

Nah, they will have some voter verification mumbo-jumbo that still requires a government issued ID.

[Sivick]

OBAMA WINS! so friggin called it.

The only thing I find funny is both sides saying "let's put partisanship behind us and work together". Somehow I have a hard time believing that is really going to happen. I'm pretty sure both sides say that after every election. I mean, who are they kidding? Now it's the start of the 2016 campaign, both parties still want to look good and have the other look bad. Not to mention the divided Congress...

[Silhouette of Seraphim]

And America breathes a little easier, even if only because we don't have to deal with Mitt Romney as a president.

Don't all the people who said in comments on the election "Landslide, you are spelled 'Romney-Ryan' look silly now.

I only see one side saying that...

All problems originate from the Republicans, right?

Your words taste icky. Please keep them out of my mouth.

Please, refrain from insulting, okay?

Thanks guys and girls.
