What a racist. As a republican operative she can not have anything in common with the messiah but skin color.

Deborah Burstion-Donbraye of Cleveland. The 53-year-old international business consultant is the former outreach director for the Ohio Republican Party

Well there you go....

....This obviously was not a real conservative Republican. She was working for the Ohio Rino party.

To anyone repub or dem that is simply voting for obama because it's a historical moment in this nation.( in other words I'm voting for him because I'd rather have a black than a white) I say to you you are a racist. So the next time someone tells you they do not like you because you are of a different skin color than they are do not cry about to the media. The next time someone hires someone of a different skin color than you are do not claim discrimination. It is all a croc of BS and you will not be heard by this person.

Now if you say you are voting for him because you agree with his policies I say you might need to read his polices again.If you wish to be a slave to the gov’t then vote obama. He will be your new slave master.

May God have mercy on the USA!!!!!

Anyone conflicted on who to vote for based on the candidate's skin color as opposed to their philosophy, skills, abilities, qualifications and other objective criteria is not a Republican and is certainly not a conservative.

Ask yourself this:

Would you trust them behind you with a loaded rifle during a race riot?

There's quite a leap from your first colorblind sentence to your last one which supposes that the races are at each other's throats. There are some assumptions in there that you may want to examine.

But if you ask these people how many would say they were voting for Obama just because of his skin color and how many would point to other reasons?

It was the same way with Jack Kennedy or Jimmy Carter: people wouldn't necessary say or think that they were voting for a candidate just because the candidate was Catholic or Southern or Black or White.

Unfortunately a “rising tide” of marxism would see even more liberalism from the GOP (to lure the Democrats who are uncomfortable with it so “out there”).

The only hope for the GOP is what the DNC has succeeded in doing. We have RINO Democrats who changed party affiliation while it was politically expedient to do so (they were Democrat politicians in the Reagan years) and they have succeeded in lurching the party leftward.

And the GOP didn’t do enough with the power in their hands when they had it (too many years of minority pary status in Congress). So even the trade off of full support for party platform to attain the majority failed.

We need DINO conservatives. Run them in the primaries.

We’ve already seen conservative Democrats beat liberal Republicans in some conservative congressional districts.

Take them out in the primaries just as they gave us McCain.

It was just a JOB to her. Nothing more. I wonder if this “business consultant” ever ran a business or turned a profit in her life.

Well, hell. How could she claim to be Conservative if she supported the Huckster?

I am not thrilled with McCain but he is head and shoulders above Obama who in my opinion is the poorest qualified person to ever run for President of the USA. Obama is a sham candidate and will show how smart Americans really are.

The racial aspect of this election is THE issue NOT discussed openly in polite conversation; however, in the sanctity of the shrouded voting booth, it will be very much a factor. And, I will go to the mat on this analysis. analysis.

I think it's cultural much more than racial. And while it's generally not good to discriminate on the basis of race (when selecting actors, it's often appropriate of course), it is entirely right and proper to discriminate on the basis of culture when and to the extent that a person's culture suggests that a person is or is not a good choice to perform a particular task.

“Ohioans are NOT ready for a black president.”

Not true. Conservatives are pretty much color blind. You jump to conclusions far too quickly.

Ohioans and Michganders have a lot of horse sense. Even though they are disappointed with some recent Republican leadership, They are still not ready for a flaming liberal with a Muslim name. Not to mention that Obama’s racist ties are impossible to miss.

Plus, Obama is as white as black.

If you want a Black elected. Run a Conservative black like Walter Williams or Shelby Steele. We’ll vote for him. You’ll find no soft racism in the Conservative wing of the Repblican party.

Armstrong Williams is voting for McCain and has made very clear statements that he opposes Obama’s Marxist policies.

Glad to hear it. Some months ago I heard him say it would be a hard decision for him, I was stunned.

He may have been born that way, but since he's actively sought to erase all the 'whiteness', it can hardly be viewed in any positive light.

That's the paraphrase that has appeared in a lot of places. There are subsequent statements that have been ignored (lie of omission) by virtually every media mumbler on the Left ever since (and some on the Right).

Too many people are cribbing their stories from others and taking Media Matters as fact.

If they cannot tell me anything Obama has done that agrees with their conservative beliefs I must assume that theirs is a race based decision.
