Perhaps yours was lacking for purpose?



I can't help but look at your post and think "Are Republicans the guys who can't figure out why blacks won't vote for them?"

Maybe I can recommend a different take on this "rationality"...
Dr. Seuss' The Sneetches - Full Version - YouTube
Intolerance too often is not rational, beyond an attempt in human nature to take an arbitrary characteristic and pretend it is significant to assume superiority over another group.
And this applies to Republicans any more than Democrats?

Why would someone's skin color define their political stance? I know Blacks who are Republican, as well as Blacks who are Democrats.

Those that tell people 'you must be this if you are that' are the ones who don't seem to understand individuality, and therefore claim superiority by their predefined groups.

Thank you for providing the paint huffers' point of view. We tend to overlook that aspect of debate sometimes.

I can't figure out why blacks would vote for Obama other than the fact that he is black. Their unemployment figure is twice what it is for white people and it has actually risen since BO got into the White House. BO knows he has their vote no matter what he does, so why waste political capital on them. A lousy way to treat your own kind.

Billo doesn't huff paint. He's an electrical engineer, so he huffs this stuff:

I didn't think Muslims were considered Christians.

If Obama's a Muslim, he's the worst one I've ever seen.
He shaves his beard, he eats pork, he drinks alcohol, his daughters wear miniskirts, and I'm pretty sure that his wife wears the pants in the family.
