(6 posts)I am a white, 53 year old male who was born and raised in Iowa...I have watched the political process for over 40 years,
beginning with Richard Nixon's landslide election in 1968 (I was only 10 years old but stayed up until 200 am on a school night
to watch the returns)....the Republi-can'ts/G-No-P would like to make this issue about race and appeal to the very worst in
people...They want people to assume that Obama is a lazy, shiftless, lying Black Man who wants everyone to be dependent
on Government handouts.
Obama stood his ground in last night's debate and, in doing so, demonstrated for everyone to see that it is the Republicant candidate that is the lying shiftless I'll say or do anything to regain the POWER to impose the self-centered, greedy agenda
of the one percent upon the rest of us.
In the face of Mitt's arrogant, over-the-top, hyperactive onslaught of "white lies", Obama maintained his quiet, yet strong presence and remained focused upon how he was trying to help create a country in which EVERYONE--not just the top 1 percent
can benefit from the God-given abundance of this nation. Yes, Obama is a black man, but he represents my ideals far more than
any of the self-annointed white men in the Republicant Party....If the Republicant Party and Mitt Romney are representative
of what the "White Race" is supposed to be...then I, as a white person, want no part in the ugliness that they have injected
into the body politic.
I would rather have an honest, hard-working, black man with integrity as President of the United States, than an greedy,
entitled, unscrupulous, unprincipled, lying frat boy who has made his fortune profiting from the destruction of other people's
hopes and dreams....a man who has, as the Bible, says 'gained the world, but has lost his soul." (i.e. "what profiteth a man,
if he gains the world, but has lost his soul).
President Obama is fighting to redeem the heart and soul of this great nation and he, as in 2008, has my vote
