Is republican a race? I'm confused! Are all republicans "white"? LOL! That's what I said! LOL! I mean, don't get me wrong, the overwhelming majority of Republicans are white (there's no doubt about that, something like 93%), but it's their ideas that people of color disapprove of, not their race. Anyway, supposedly, only about 26% of The Country now sees themselves as "Republicans". There are no more Independents that Republicans. That party is just dieing out. Their ideas just don't appeal to the majority of Americans anymore. |

Is republican a race? I'm confused! Are all republicans "white"? No they are not all white! That is my point. It is ignorant to call the republicans racist, because we are not all white. Some people like to play the race card because our president is of color. Nobody said all Republicans are white. Just that the overwhelming majority of white racists are Republicans. That can't be denied. And I believe that I've pointed out the racist Democrats too who refused to vote for President Obama because he was black (and he still won anyway). I think you're being too sensitive here. All you have to do is attend a Democratic rally and compare it to a Republican rally. Not once did you hear President Obama referrered to as a monkey at a Democratic rally. Not once did they suggest that he be "lynched" like it was suggested at Republican rallies. And this isn't just one or two rallies, but at almost every Republican rally, there are white racists who hate President Obama and The first Lady, Michelle Obama just because they are black. Again, even on this forum, it's been suggested by a Republican here that the main reason that white women voted for President Obama was because they wanted to know what it would be like to have physical relations with him catering to the old stereotype of african superiority in the bedroom. |

You conveniently missed this picture  of George Bush portrayed as a monkey? There are plenty others on the net. As far as white women wanting to sleep with Obama I stand by that statement. When I was attending classes at college I heard a number of white women say the only reason they were voting for Obama was because they were attracted to him. Women in general have been accused of voting for candidates merely based on their good looks. One of the news stations (I believe it was CNN also brought up the fact that a sizable number of single, white women were voting for Obama only because they were attracted to him. |

But you specified "white" women.
(and yeah, I saw all the Bush/Monkey pics. In his case, they make fun of his intelligence, not his race).

I guess you missed Obama's speech in some town this week where he made fun of foxnews and of the people that participated in the tea parties.
Oh let us not forget what happens at an Obama rally..

No, I saw it. It was hilarious! He mocked those people who were confused. They said that they were fighting their taxes going up. But in reality (and you didn't mention this part), their taxes were going down! LOL! That was why he was mocking them. That was the teabaggers Lie #1. Then, the people had signs up arguing about taxation without representation (which was the cause of the Boston Tea Party), but hello? They all have Congressmen/Senators, so they can't cry taxation without representation. That was the teabaggers Lie #2. So, if their taxes weren't being raised and they have representation, what where they protesting?  |

I was offended by that as I was offended by all the times that The Republicans Extremists called him the "savior" or the "messiah" or when they made him out to be a messianic figure. Were you offended when they did that too? Just check this out and tell me what you think... Google: Obama Messiah See how many Right Wing Extremist websites post pictures like that one. Not only that, I've criticized Right Wing Extremists to comparing a man to Jesus Christ's work with regards to saving. I think it's blasphemous and inappropriate to bring Jesus Christ into politics.  |

People "acting" like it and people actually mocking him and calling him savior are two different things. And he is saving this country. Just look at the major economic indicators. We're on our way back thanks to his policies. He was right. And those that are against him are wrong.  |

Do you feel as offended by this picture of Obama being portrayed as the Savior? Probably not. Oh, and look...what a surprise! Where did this picture come from? A "Right Wing Extremist" website. Why am I "not" surprised? www.liberalpinheads.comEven "they" agree with me! Once again Christianity and the central figure of the Christian religion, Jesus Christ, is disgraced and mocked openly without regard or even a care about offending Christians.  You forgot this one! LOL!  Barack Obama does not come to us as a Savior, but as a destroyer as he dismantles and destroys the United States Constitution. He should be pictured more as the antichrist then as Jesus Christ.Notice the "turbin" on his head? Why would they use a "cultural" dressing on the Anti-Christ? What are they trying to say about those people (people of color) who were turbins? Why not a cowboy hat? Or a trucker's baseball cap? Why a "turbin"? |

You have to RAISE taxes to PAY for the STIMULES PACKAGE! |

Ok, "where" did he raise taxes. People are supposedly protesting the taxes he raised on "the working man" (because supposedly, this isn't a Fox drummed up movement, but a grass roots movement of common average working Americans). Show me where he raised taxes on the working man. Where did President Obama raise taxes? I still don't understand. He cut taxes. States regulate property taxes, so he can't be blamed for that. He could only cut or raise federal taxes (again, which he cut). So, what are the teabaggers crying about if it's not raising taxes or if it's not "not" being taxed without representation? Oh, and would you agree that the teabaggers are lieing about "taxation without representation" and about President Obama raising taxes on the working man? |

Well lets see...there is a medicare tax, and social security tax that workers must pay....im sure they have gone up but have not investigated it. Cigarette taxes have gone up. The tea bag rallies were not drawn up by fox but highly covered by their network. There was a tea bag ralley in my town. It all boils down to the only way to pay for these new schools and everything in the stimules package is by taxes. So if all these people do not agree with the stimules package size, they have the right to protest having to pay for it..since they could not stop it. |

The way I understand it Obama is planning on doubling the social security tax along with increasing the poverty tax. |
