I don't hate black people at all, hell I don't even associate with them - there are not many in Australia, but I do associate with plenty of people of all races and why not. BVF is the individual who is thinking small, who can't think past the local black diner (a reference to a post of his in another thread), who thinks because he is black he has this right.

And no I wouldn't vote Republican, I wouldn't vote Democrat either, they are the SAME Party (and no I don't mean "all politicians are the same"), and I can name the individuals and the processes that made that happen. Those who coined neo-conservatism and than went on to make it a force within the Republican part, those who wrote the rules to ensure no viable third party could form or be included in the debates, etc, etc. Lets say I feel confident in saying I know slightly more than you on this topic, and it isn't even my country and I've paid hardly more than a casual interest. Hell a part of me (if actually truly cared for America) hopes Obama demolishes McCain so the true conservatives can pull back the Republican party and make it something worth voting for. Anyway last comment for this thread I think.
