That's called stereotyping and people use it to justify their opinion...

in this case it's not really stereotyping. It's just flawed when you let a few examples make you think "all" have done the same thing. At least some stereotyping usually has some sort of base truth. If I heard of a guy that said he voted Obama because his hamster sat on the obama button, I wouldn't think everyone voted because of that.

by the way... my hamster may or may not have played a role in how I voted. lol.

I agree with you, and I believe that most of those people vote democrat. It's commonly referred to as "white guilt."

I am not guilty about being white although I've voted democrat just as much as I have republican throughout my voting career.

you're kidding yourself if you think voting for "stupid" reasons is only limited to democrats.

I don't see how you could think that this was aimed at you or that I said voting for stupid reasons was limited to democrats.

I don;t think it was aimed at me specifically. I just posted that my obama vote was in no way because of "white guilt". Your post conveyed to me that you feel it's mostly a Dem issue when you said "I believe that most of those people vote democrat". Maybe I read it wrong, but that's what I got from it.

White guilt is largely a Democrat issue, but it certainly doesn't apply to all who vote Democrat.

Great opinion!

If everyone thought like that then no one would vote.

I actually agree with you....

Does that make it right? Just need clarification on that...i've never been one to pick "the lesser evil."

And i disagree with that statement i believe a lot of people just vote based on Republican/Democrat, not the actual person...which i find truly intriguing...

To me it means you should have no say politically if you can't back someone. No complaining if you do nothing to change it.

No it is not racist at all. However continually asking for proof of birth that has already been provided and holding the black canidate to a higher level of scrunity is.

First off, I think everyone was beating him up because he outright refused to address the issue. Congress should have done it anyway. Secondly, how is he held to a higher standard when they checked on the other candidates birthplace and there were legitimate questions that were not getting answered from Obamas camp? Congress apparently didn't do their job. They just sealed all the records and paid alot of money to block access. That asks for questioning....
