Jesus H christ. I'm sick of being nice the fuickin guy is is giving the GOP just what they need. In a time when fear of anything Muslim is at an all time high he's got a name that rhymes with Hussein. Fuckin A right or wrong the American people on a whole(or any nationality for that matter) are not intelligent enough to get past that. Silly I know, but public acceptance is a fickle thing.
Get it through your fucking skull; this man playing his cards to the end is the GOP's last,
only chance at retaining the White House. The man gave one iota about this fucking country he'd admit this is not the time to play a racial/religious gambit.
People like me are the problem? people like YOU are the problem. This country is afraid of anything Muslim, throw black in the mix and you got all kinds o motherfuckers running to vote
against him no matter he is a great man, or not!
My country, YOUR country is in some sort of neo-fascist tailspin that may just throw us into a world war that could see the EU throwing in with the all the other anti american sentiment around the world. We are no longer the good guys man, this is not a proud time for america.
It would be nice to turn it all around and say we did with a black Muslim at the helm BUT IT CANNOT HAPPEN IN TODAYS CLIMATE!! so eat your pride, your left wing hoity toity "what is right" attitude and ask you self, "is a GOP President best for america?" because sure as shit, this dude pushes it to the end it si what you will get. Do I wish it weren't an issue? you fuckin A man. Thing is, it is.
Instead of trying to solve one problem do you want to interject yet another one?
Hopefully he is just trying top get a few of his own planks in the platform, and will withdraw to come back and fight the good fight another day.
America is dying, my friend, and this man (even if he is the best man for the job) cannot save it. if he is smart, if he truly cares, he will force some of his own influence on the direction the Dems will take in the election and step down. Hopefully this is what he is trying to achieve.
On the ticket, he will kill us sure as as shit. Hell, I might even vote for him, but the reality of the situation is he will not be elected. Folks like me are not the problem anyone seriously putting him forth is. Give the man his moment in the sun, let him put something serious down for a foundation and future policy (that ol' give and take system of government) and step down. Our country needs a change in government. If he pushes this too far, it will not happen.
The first balck man in office is going to be a foreign educated muslime? you really thin he can get elected???? he is Mr. OIL's last, great hope.
