I work with a few Democrats, actually I'm one of the only Republicans where I work. One of them is a woman, one is an older white male, one is a younger black male and the other an older black male. The woman, a mother of one, has decided that she "doesn't care who wins as long as they will actually fix thing" and make things better, but she kind of supports the McCain/Palin ticket because she was impressed by Sarah Palin. I've been constantly feeding her information gathered from not only Townhall.com but also from my favorite conservative talk radio shows like Rush, Boorts, and Hannity...
The younger black male doesnt really talk polotics much and I have an honest gut feeling that he is voting for Barack just because Barack is black. Why i feel this way is actually very simple. I asked who he was voting for, he said Barack, I said WHY? and he said that he just thinks Barack is going to do good things for the country.... No real political backing and I really didnt push the subject because, well because I didn't want to get all super political with a guy I have to work wihth every day.
The older black male backs Barack H Obama as well and cites the Clinton Presidnecy as his reason why he supports Democrats, although I have heard him mutter the occasional reference to no helping the brothers in da hood.... or something like that...
The older white male, who has a PolySci degree from a state univeristy (UNCW... and we all know how liberal that school is), once said "I'd vote for SATAN if he ran on the Democratic ticket." That shocked me. It shocked me so bad that I couldn't even frame a response to it right off the top of my head. He not only thinks that Clinton was the greatest presidnet ever, but also refered to the Illuminati and the Free Masons and pointed out that there have only been two Presidents who were not members of the Free Masons... JFK and guess who.. William Jefferson Clinton.... Now, me personally I dont usualy base my arguments for voting off of such political rhetoric as the Illuminati and the consipracy for world domination that it is supposed to represent... but hey i guess if you can subscribe to that theory then you must also subscribe to the theory that Slick Willy knew that Al Gore didn't stand a snowball's chance of winning the election and therefore ruined the economy to prevent the Republicans from holding office for more than four years and that he then sabatoged his own wife's campaign to prevent her from gaining equality with him... which i know a few conservatives who just might agree with those statements... but very few liberals....
Oh and just in case we all havent heard this nonsenss yet, come November 4th he just might be voting for Satan or well The Antichrist at least.. Yes, this theory is out as well. Barack H Obama comes out of no where to gain political power and quickly moves up the ranks... But I digress this is all just right Wing fear mongering, which is only fair seeing as how the left would love us to beleive that McCain is Bush 3 and that he will keep us in Iraq for 100 years.....
