"What they fail to realize is that opposite of racism is tolerance, not ignorance."

Welcome back Team, been waiting for an update here for a minute. Good luck with the book.

Cobb, seems like what you are saying is that people are voting their ideology. It's not really based on anything but the fact that Republicans SAY they are about Christian morality, God, and Country.


Spence, I think we've had this discussion too. The same can be said about Lefties. Democrats really only SAY they are about whatever liberal ideas you want to ascribe them.

There is value in having a position, believing in it and wanting to see it happen. But the realities are different. Neither candidate is "perfect left" or "perfect right," And it would be foolish to assume so, and make our decision based on that. Neither candidate will be able to execute a perfect left or right agenda, and to be honest I think if either people on the left or right got everything they wanted things would be better. If there truly was a Free Market, and everyone truly had equal opportunity to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and trickle down economics worked and everyone was morale and abided by the law things would be great. And if every social program worked 100%, and government regulation was 100% effective in stopping abuses of power then things would be great too. But that isn't going to happen. And I'd rather have someone in the white house with a more nuanced position. Someone who doesn't believe he has all the answers, but has the right strategy.

And maybe its just me but its abundantly clear that Obama is the best choice that. Take Obama out of the picture. Isn't a president that takes all ideas into account to come up with the best solution exponentially better than a president who takes an ideological stand and doesn't waiver?
