How do I tell relatives who vote for Pro-abortion candidates that they aren't invited to religious event.?

We Answered:

Yes, I grew up in a Very Catholic family.

Though, you should kindly remind them. They are invited but please do not mention politics on my son's day. We are here to celebrate his first Communion.

All the black black people who voted for Obama, do you think they would vote a black republican candidate too?

We Answered:

Since the Barry Goldwater controversy in the 60's, most blacks vote Democrat. The Republican party will have to clean up it's image in minority communities before they are able to attract a large percentage of votes in those communities.

I don't know where you were during the Democratic primaries but many African American organizations and voters were backing Hillary Clinton. Hilary Clinton didn't get the nomination and those voters then turned to President Obama.

The issue isn't that blacks vote for black. Blacks vote for Democrats.

_____________________________________

Polls show Clinton is favored by a majority of black voters, with Obama a distant second. Clinton, whose husband President Bill Clinton is popular with black voters, receives much higher favorable ratings from blacks than Obama.

Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, also is making a concerted pitch for black support and launched his campaign in December from a poor, primarily black New Orleans neighborhood ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

"Black voters have choices now, they have Hillary Clinton and John Edwards," Walters said. "And this time there is a context in this election that might be even more persuasive than race, and that's the war."

Polls show blacks oppose the Iraq war at higher percentages than white voters, making Obama's early opposition to the war a potential selling point. Clinton, attacked by some Democrats for voting to authorize the war and being too slow to renounce her vote, has stepped up her criticism of the conflict.

Black voters constitute about 10 percent of the U.S. electorate, and they often make up more than 40 percent of the Democratic primary vote in key Southern states like South Carolina, the fourth state to cast ballots in the 2008 Democratic nomination race.

Minnie Said:

What do you think of people who vote for the small parties?

We Answered:

I am not voting for a person who has a chance, as much as I am voting for a person who has earned my support

Ivan Said:

Have we got real democracy if people who vote for the BNP are abused?

We Answered:

What these "protesters" don't seem to realise is that the very FACT the BNP are pursued, harrassed and verbally abused by a howling mob of useless, "politically correct" multiculturalists, only serves to make the BNP more atttractive to an increasing number of people.

They are , in fact playing right into the BNP's hands. I always said the "Anti fascist league" were the biggest bunch of fascists I had ever seen in the UK. They are exactly what they say they are fighting against. An unthinking mob who try to shout down any political or democratic debate.

Debbie Said:

What do you think about people who vote one way?

We Answered:

I was raised in a Republican home. For the first few years I voted a straight Republican ticket. As I started to really get interested in politics, I realized that there were some in the Democrat party that espoused beliefs that were more akin to what I believed. I then started to split my ticket, picking what I believed to be the best qualified. Again another realization became clear and that was that both parties had started to depart from the base that had supported them. I now identify myself as an independent moderate conservative who recognizes the need for some of the roles that government has taken on, but reject many other of the roles they have.
I believe that it is nearly impossible to be politically aware and vote a straight ticket. I also believe that we have gone from the most qualified to the lesser of the two evils to choose from. Once there were moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans, both supporters of the Constitution and our freedoms, now we have extreme right, extreme left and centrists to choose from, no long do we have the moderates.
In my state we have two Rhinos that I will never again vote for, I would rather have a raging liberal over a centrist Republican. At least you know how the liberal will vote.
Those who vote only one way are either politically unaware or have not matured enough to have a mind of their own.
