i am glad someone else finally noticed too.

 

I didn't see Bighersh mention any name, he was speaking in general terms.
You are too quick to say he meant you.

There were posts here about the line of succession prior to inauguration and what do JFK and Obama have in common.
Who wouldn't lash out (generally) when such comments are made about a candidate you gladly voted for, and hoped would succeed for the good of the country?

I just considered the source and kept my mouth shut.

I voted for five republican candidates in a row.
As soon as I went 'D' I was branded a ignorant liberal, right here on good ole F-150online.

(truth is, when people call me names on the internet, I pull my hair and stomp my feet)

 

This was his second post that explained that if Obama would have lost it would have strictly been because of all the white people that couldn't vote for a black guy. Bigotry could be the only explanation.

Either he views a majority of white people being racist or he believes Obama is such a perfect "candidate" that bigotry could be the only reason that anyone would vote against him......

sad

 

Well, that may be his opinion.

I think the leap is you wrapping yourself in it, modeling it around the room and expecting all of us to whistle.

 

When talking about serious topics I don't post for the sake of "hey look at me"

 

Directly no, but indirectly he did. He gave a list of states and insinuated that the residents of those states did not vote for Obama based on skin color. So in a way he did call people out. What he failed to do was realize that most of the places he mentioned are very conservative regions. Not conservative in the Democrat/Republican sense but in the beliefs of the people. The issues I mentioned are deal breakers for most of the population in these states, skin color be damned. In that sense I was insulted. I vote based on a person's past voting record and their position on the issues. In one survey there were 48 questions, I did not agree with one single position of Obamas. For the most part by personal views were 180 deg from his.

He also failed to take into account that Gore and Kerry lost these states by the same or greater margins. So when it was two white guys in the race the numbers were close to the same as when it was a black and white guy. It is not race but ideology. The people in these areas simply do not agree with many of the ideas of the last three Democrat nominees. That is why all three lost these areas by wide margins.

 

Good point.

 

Virginia didn't.

 

Until you start making huge money because of your education, then you see that the blue will take it away and give it to people who didn't work for it. If you stay blue after that, you don't deserve your money in the first place.

 

If you break it down across the entire USA the rural areas voted McCain, the urban areas voted Obama. Truly divided land that desperately needs to be united.

 

I don't think that. Some people may have based it on race alone, but to do that would be stupid, what matters is how much you believe in the candidate, not the color of their skin.
Not that popular vote matters at all anyway...

 

I didn't brand anyone anything. You are one of the funiest guys on here, and for years now I have been glad to read your posts.
Being from Virginia doesn't hurt, either.

 

None of that applies here, but Wookiee should have 2 Es on the end, not just 1.

 

Obama ran a perfect campaign, but he is going to have to run a perfect presidency. Obama is the first president of color, sorry to say he is not black, he is white and black which makes him biracial and a person of color. I belive that if Obama screws this thing up you will never see a person of color again, I am being honest., The white vote is what put Obama over the top, with out that vote, McCain is president. Look states like New Mexico and Iowa predominately white and they went with Obama. The one thing about this election is that it still shows that racism still exist and always will, with the African American vote at 97% for Obama, it just shows that people voted for color rather than the issues..

I too hope he succeeds, because if he fails, we all fail.

 

How so? I mentioned deal breaker issues for many people in these states. Obama, Kerry and Gore were all on the wrong side of these issues. That's why they lost.

Only one E has worked for me since I was in college, no need to change things now.
