[H]ow many racists does it take to screw up an election?

It's not a joke. And the answer is: Not very many in a close one.

The article is about Missouri, but things are boiling over closer to home, too.

A prominent local Republican told me last month that early voting was just a way to "bus you know who" to the polls. It was almost refreshing to have someone just come out and say what they meant.

Well Ed, 95% of black folks are going to vote for Obama, do you think there might be just a tad bit of racism there! White folks need to shed thier racial guilt and bring this country back to the moral high ground it once enjoyed, now I bet you think I'm the racist! Beau

@ Beau,

When I was very young I pointed out to my mother that so and so was doing this or that. Her reply was so if so and so jumped off a bridge would you to ?

I don't justify my voting criteria by what the other party does. Neither does that criteria contain gender, or race. It does contain things that seem to be in short supply like integrity honesty empathy etc.

Beau D. Jackass, there's really no need to quote ED'S ENTIRE POST, but if you must do so, at least learn to use bloody quotation marks!

Beau, ignore that sad and pathetic man. He tries to hurt others as others have deeply hurt him in life. No need to worry over the crazy rantings of a broken and failed soul.

yes, you are. ridiculously so. a pointed hat with a cross on fire so.

you hate the fact that black people will rally together to vote for an intelligent black man that represents the best they can be, their hopes and dreams, but you'd love to have "white folks" stick together to bring back the good old days of "moral high ground" (AKA: fire hoses).

you're scum.

when two non-white people are the final candidates for president, people like you are going to implode.
