To spite the racist fucks that still exist... and also the fucking backwards hicks that live all around me here in blustery Northern Idaho...

That actually IS the best reason, and it's sad...

    I thought we had run most of those motherfuckers out of the state by now. But then this election started... A fellow Idahoan? For real? Where you at?

    It is sad if that's really the best reason.

    But...wouldn't it only legitimize those racists who ARE voting for Obama mainly because he's supposedly black.

    Remember that racism works both ways.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    It's true and remember how horribly the white man has suffered at the hands of black people here in America.

    Hopefully we're beyond voting someone in because he's BLACK or not voting him in becasue he isn't WHITE.

    The only reason to vote someone is for the ISSUES.

    The only two reasons I can see voting for Obama, which I'm not, is that he has a better grasp of the economic crisis than McCain and he has a better foreign policy.

    I could care less about people that are racist against me (I'm white).

    HOWEVER, I have a fucking deep-seeded loathing and disgust for white racists.

    I may live in Idaho, but I grew up in the LA/Ventura County "punk scene" and that fucking thing was infested with one too many skin heads who would ruin shows.

    H8 them 4 life.

    Good to know that you discriminate against racists of different beliefs.

    ...are those who've helped us.

    Not sure what that has to do with anything, but whatever.

    I'm sick and tired of racists too. Probably more sick and tired than most people. The difference is that I'm sick and tired of ALL of them. On ALL sides of the fences. They're all ignorant morons.

    .

    Whites have not a clue what it means to be black in this country and to somehow infer that there's not a good reason for blacks to be just a bit peeved on their treatment in the past as well as their treatment in the present is being ignorant...or you know...I really like Bushleager..it really does apply to so many things...."The haves (whites) dont' have a fkn Clue!!"

    you're right
    and to somehow infer that there's not a good reason for blacks to be just a bit peeved on their treatment in the past as well as their treatment in the present is being ignorant

    when will they get over it, and stop using as a crutch?

    hell yeah, I live in North Idaho too, Sandpoint. If it weren't for all the rednecks this place would be about perfect.

    But yeah, its almost worth voting Obama in just to spite these rednecks. Someone said to me the other day, "Obama is Muslim", like that was the end of the discussion. wtf lady. you know anything about the candidates policies?

    And these rednecks are the ones MOST adversley affected by Mccains's policies, which makes their blind support all the more hard to imagine.

    probably when when white people get over it and stop treating them like second class citizens.
