Well, I don´t think I posted a "low blow". I´m sure I´ve said worse things then that. GG is right, its my opinion and I´m allowed to voice it. What I didn´t see is yours. I´m assuming thats because you don´t have one? If you voice it by posting videos I can post tons about every candidate thats ever ran for President. Old friends and fellow POW´s of McCain that have some pretty dirty stuff on McCain as well, but I will not post one stating he is not a citizen because he was born in the Panama Canal or something that is just nonsense.
Try not to get to hung up on racial issues, its a loosing battle. Good luck to you and your candidate tonight, I´m off to have a good time watching the election.
funny how other people here can post articles and videos in TLC without issuing personal comments, regarding the post they made... and yet while i am doing the same thing, i get stoned for it. double standards people... you know what? forget it... i don´t want to get into an argument with hot-headed people.

My Dear....and I say that honestly, not in a sarcastic manner. From your photo, you appear to be very young. The African Americans have had a very difficult time of it.
Please read this account of Northrup Soloman´s life as a slave. It is a long read, but well worth reading as it will perhaps give you some insite into the problems these people had to deal with. To you slavery seems a long time away, but the reality is, actual slaves are still in living memory. There are those alive today who remember a grandmother who was a former slave. They were left with very little.
If you understand what these people have had to endure, you might have some more compassion and understanding.
thank you alameda, for being civilized with the way you speak with me. hope others can do the same...  i am 21, and yes, i´m still probably young. i am totally aware of the slavery that had occured the past century... i´ll take a look at the link, thanks...

for the link you posted... it was of drug arrest, not of the racial slur issue.... this is yet another topic.
You know, the simple fact of the matter is I have heard more than a few "white" people uttering racial slurs, but have not heard the same from none whites.
However, racial slurs are ugly no matter who does it.

Obama had Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Massachusets, Maryland and New Jersey, as well as the Distirct of Columbia, for 78 electoral votes. McCain had challenged in none of them.
McCain had Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma and South Carolina, for 34 electoral votes. Obama conceded them from the outset.
The nationwide popular vote also favored Obama, who was gaining 53 percent to his rival´s 47 percent.

Thanks Ohio..... I guess Acorn did their job... Based on the results..we are still a very much divided country. I hope Obama can come through with his many promises to all of us..It´s going to be a long 4 years.

I think you can actually lay the blame for Ohio (if blame is what you are looking for) right at the steps of the White House. Ohio has been hard hit by this economic crisis.
Bush and his policies, which McCain whole-heartedly supported and would continue if he were elected…..is what pushed Ohio in Obama’s direction.

You can´t solely blame the Bush administration..you fail to forget who has been running the congress the last two years. Not to mention our Democratic Governor Strickland. The struggeling cities in Ohio have had problems for years,, largely due to geographic locations and bigger businesses moving to more attractable locations. For the first time in Ohio we have had early voting and 61% of our younger population found Obamas liberal views more appealing, no surprise there. Not to mention the heavy campaigning and voter fraud that saturated this state. I just hope his claim about coal companies doesn´t come to light, since Ohio has a big coal industry. I guess time will only tell..
