Nonpartisan Vote

[Monkeydad]

I agree with the side that says "remove party affiliations and make people do their homework to cast an informed vote".


I see the President's take on this as very offensive and racially-driven, as usual. Does he believe that the black voters need to see the party affiliation so that they can vote Democrat without doing any research? It certainly sounds that way.

The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.

Sickening how blatantly racist (yes, I view this as racist) this President is allowed to be in nearly everything he does. Sure, playing the race card allowed him to be elected President and has kept his party in power for many decades with payoffs to certain voters and classes of people, but it's shocking to see how out in the open these racial divides are becoming.

So many people blindly voted for Obama because they believed the false parables of him ending the racial divide...but I knew electing him would only create even more racism in this country, not because of hate for him, but because of his own policies and statements. People in opposition of Justice Sotomayor were called racists for not agreeing with her very shaky decisions and her track record of being overturned. Anyone in opposition to his healthcare plan are being called Nazis and racists by people in his Administration, Congress and even the President himself. Let's not forget about Van Jones.

He's on record being in favor of slave reparations. Yes, slavery was wrong, but NO ONE ALIVE was directly affected. We need to move on as a nation.
