If you disagree with a white candidate who suggests such things, what are you then?

That is being a hipocrite, you know, when you say someone else is being mean when you are actually! Stop saying that we are just picking on ya'll when you are picking on us!

Kenyan to be exact. Each candidate had to file with the Federal Election Commission who approved their eligibility to be a candidate. I'm sure both Obama and McCain presented the FEC with official copies of their birth certificates when they filed to become a presidential candidate. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is comprised of 6 commissioners, appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. The FEC cannot have more than 3 members from one political party, so it is fair to call it bipartisan. You can learn more about the FEC at http://www.fec.gov.

What saddens me even more is that it is the black race that seems to be the biggest racist as proven by the survey taken by all military personnel. The general consensus votes in favor of McCain 68% to Obama 23%. This is broken down by Army, Navy,Marines, etc. and then by enlisted and officers. The percentages stay within a few numbers of these percentages. That is, until they break it down even further to the Caucasian, black, hispanic, orential, etc. (check this out for yourself at http://www.militarytimes.com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp.pdf) It is at this point that the numbers reverse to Obama 68% to McCain 23%, which to me is a clear a blatant show of racism,but from the race that calls white people racist. As for myself, I would be considered caucasian and if someone asked me who I was voting for,it would be McCain and they would label me a racist. However, the only reason I would be voting for McCain is that I consider him the lesser of the evils running for President BUT, should Colin Powell or Condolesa Rice decide to run at the last minute, I would beyond a shadow of a doubt change my vote from McCain to Powell or Rice. Now, would I still be considered racist? I am truly saddened by the fact that there is so many racial slurs and remarks about racism in this presidential election.
