Will white men sink Obama? (CBS plays race card to try and save Obama)
CBS ^ | 10/26/2012 | BRIAN MONTOPOLI

Listen to President Obama and Mitt Romney on the campaign trail, and you could be forgiven for briefly thinking only one gender is allowed to vote. Both candidates regularly tailor their message to female voters: You can see it in the president's attacks on Romney's desire to cut Planned Parenthood funding and potentially appoint judges to overturn Roe v. Wade, and in Romney's claim that "this president has failed America's women" due to an uptick in female poverty.

There's a reason for this: Women are widely perceived as more likely than men to be swing voters. In the battleground state of Colorado, for example, both campaigns are open about the fact that they believe whoever makes the best case to suburban women will win the state.

Yet all the talk about women might make it easy to forget that men are a significant chunk of the electorate as well. While women outvoted men by about 10 million votes in the 2008 presidential election, men still made up 48 percent of the electorate. And white men alone made up more than one third of the electorate - 36 percent - according to national exit polls.

Nah. They’d still be emphatically playing the race card even if they were +20pts ahead, and stitching narratives that those against Obama were obviously bitter-clinger racists and evinced inconvertible proof that the United States is a fundamentally racist nation so long as White people exist, etc.

Today’s USA Today is nothing but an Obama propoganda paper......multiple pictures of Dear Leader and explanation of why things are so much better than we can comprehend.

Not that I needed it to become anti Democrat, but if anyone wonders why a white man might not like Democrats, just apply to a college for information about courses. You get a flyer back, suggesting that you can get preferential treatment if you are black, “native American” eskimo, and so forth, and so on - or female.

With any integrity at all they would just have said, “white men need not apply.” But since we’re talking about Democrats, integrity has nothing to do with the case.

The Times article doesn’t mention the similarity of white married women to white men in their voting preference. But of course their bread is buttered on the same side as their husbands’.

My brother, sad to say, is 64 and never even registered to vote in his life.

Too busy making money...when it was possible to do that kind of thing in America.

Now, he’s SO angry, he went out registered and WILL vote!

I suppose the next step, for the slime stream media, is to make communist a racist term.

It seems that the only people who will vote for “O” are:

• Life-time, career losers who don’t/won’t work and who subsist on government ‘aid’
• Very young people who never objectively explored Conservativism and wouldn’t dream of being so ‘unfashionable’ as to vote Conservative
• Minorities who are conditioned to believe that they entered the world as wards of the state and MUST REMAIN wards of the state-because they are NOT individuals with abilities and a will of their own!!

The real question is whether Americans of all races will unite to save their country from incompetence, their kids from joblessness, their families from welfare, their future from tyranny.

This election is post-racial in its implications for this nation.

I thought they’d already done that.

It’s been stated by the leftstream media that “Socialist” is a “racist code word”.

The polls show that “people of color” are twice as racist as whites, if these leftists were honest.

40% of whites are voting for the “colored” guy.
20% of “colored” people are voting for the white guy.

QED: “colored” people are twice as racist as whites.

White males have always elected the president. There were too many that stayed home in 08 or had white guilt.
