    LOL, it is pretty obvious that you are the one that has never met a black person. If you had you wouldn't post these asinine posts that you do.

    I guess that is why we have been voting for white politicians for over 40 yrs. Yea I'll check out a movie, but it will take a black one to move me.

    LMAO. Do you read this (*)(*)(*)(*) before you post it.

    Why did it take Federal Troops to guard 9 black children going to an all white school if this is true.

    Where was George Wallace standing and who was he trying to keep out.

    Why were black churches created?

    Why are there HBCUs?

    Should I go on.

    There is a major difference in saying 95% of ALL blacks vote for Obama, and saying 95% of the votes Mccain got where white. You are trying to twist the numbers to mean the same, there is NO similarity.

    Lets not mention that your numbers are totally wrong and you are using straw men argument.

    That statistic doesn't matter and it's been debunked plenty of times in this thread.

    If 89% of whites had voted for McCain he would be president right now.

    Still don't know how that matters though. Its not like the GOP forces the other races to NOT vote GOP. There is plenty of room for all to vote for the GOP no questions asked. I guess the big problem with voting for GOP, your group won't get special benefits or programs specialized specifically towards you. In other words, no hand outs for voting GOP, you will have to actually work for a better life instead of taking from someone else.

    LOL. Corporate welfare is much larger than social welfare. For gods sake, some of the most profitable companies on the planet " need" taxpayer money. And how about the tax breaks to the wealthy.....and loopholes for multinationals....would you like me to go on about how Republicans don't get handouts? I can if you like.

    Both are really the problem for the rich getting richer. Giving more money to the poor through government handouts means they will spend more and pass it onto people like the Walton's. They also pass that money on in the form of investing in hedge funds who also be come rich. Until the government gets out of social engineering and crony capitalism, the rich will continue to get richer and the poor will stay where they are.

    NCLB was an attempt to improve inner city schools. He ended up sacrificing suburbian schools, which were doing fine, to improve inner city, and you see that he did nothing for blacks on the streets.

    What has Obama done? Anything? Anything at all? Paying your gas bill yet? All he does is divide and rile everyone up. Attack his policy and you get called a racist...remember? And he let it happen.

    NCLB was an attempt, and a successful one, to push more military recruiters into our schools. It wasnt about improving education at all.

    The social safety net serves a purpose. First, as you said, that money is guaranteed to go directly back into economy. It also serves to lower crime. I'm also not a fan of the kinds of slums you see in India, China, Mexico and Africa. Huts made from scrap metal, tents, exposed raw sewage, etc etc. If thats the kind of America you want, well, we disagree.

    Exxon getting billions in taxpayer money is ridiculous. Tax breaks for companies that ship US jobs overseas is insane. Yet these are things that Republicans have gone to the mat to defend. And folks on this forum do the same while attacking resources that go to Americans for food and shelter.

    Its pretty obvious, Obama is a racist pandering to racists to get votes.

    Its exactly what Robert Byrd did by joining the KKK....

    Straw man. I was never talking about cutting taxes that covers things like those. I was showing you how you complain about rich getting rich is because of the constant printing of fiat currency and giving it to those that don't work for it. These turns into higher profits for the rich.

    Exxon at least pays their taxes. GE on the other hand is in bed with Obama and pays nothing on taxes while making more than Exxon. And the government makes more in taxes from oil companies than they make profit, so they are paying way more than their fair share while us middle class pay higher and higher prices.

    Shipping jobs over seas is another problem with the tax policies. And thank your boy Obama for GE still shipping jobs overseas.

    The GOP doesn't go to the mat to defend that practice, they show you that the corporate tax rates and over bearing regulations are to blame.

    That's no straw man. And I don't complain about the rich getting rich. I complain about the rich getting more government welfare than the poor - yet its the people who actually need the money who get attacked by conservatives.

    Saying that Exxon pays taxes, in an effort to condone giving them public monies, is a straw man.

    A company only pays tax on profits. The tax rate does certainly not exceed 50%!

    The Democratic congress tried to do away with the tax code that rewarded companies for shipping jobs overseas. Republicans in the senate blocked it.

    They pay taxes. They pay a hell of a lot more than GE. They pay more in taxes than they make in profits. You are confusing tax breaks with giving them money. That is like saying the robber who stole from the "Kwicky mart" gave the bank money by not robbing from them.

    Government makes more off of the sale of oil than the companies that extract it.
