[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;45524692]"THEY HATE HIM BECAUSE HES BLACK!" Yeah, just like conservatives hate Dr. Ben Carson, Allen West, and Herman Cain right? Or do they not count as "black" because they aren't liberals???? I mean it couldn't be that people hate Obama because of his policies could it? Some of you are ignorant.[/QUOTE] See, the thing of is, it's not an only reason. Like Obama's skin color is not THE SOLE REASON why people hate him. It's just a major contributing factor to certain people not liking him.
I'd consider the impeachment of Obama to be the death of democracy in America. There is no reason why the Republicans want him out of office other than the fact that he isn't a republican.

No if Obama get's impeached, the Republicans will hee and haw while square dancing like loons, while the rest of us just sigh and roll our eyes.

[QUOTE=Thlis;45526322] You think this is an acceptable thing?[/QUOTE] Well sitting here bitching and moaning about it won't do anything at all. And it's obvious that only hardcore picketing and protesting (not violent, just harder protesting) would kinda get their attention, and even then I don't wanna get pepper sprayed or arrested :v: Besides, no one really likes the Republicans anyway these days, it'll be a long time for them to clean their party up.

If we were a democracy, gay marriage would be illegal in California because the majority of people voted to make it illegal. Here, the minority is protected from "rule of the majority", hence a constitutional republic.
[QUOTE=Shinycow;45524444]Not really; The people who assume people dislike Obama because of his race are the most ignorant people ever. Nixon was a fuck up. How about releasing guantanamo prisoners without notifying congress? Not to mention they're high ranking terrorists, including one that served as chief army of staff when the Taliban was in power.[/QUOTE] If you're implying that I think you dislike because he's black, then you are wrong, I don't care about his race, I'm just tired of the bulllshit people push onto the president's back even though it's mostly congresses fault. Does it make it any better if Nixon fucked up, he was and still is the worst president we've ever had. First of all, If I remember correctly, these terrorists are actually being released to their countries to be put on trial. Second of all, It's fucking Guantanamo bay, a prison where the likelyhood of you even getting a trial is slim, It's a disgrace to real Justice.
People have managed to get far right voters to buy into a [B][I]fuckton[/I][/B] of unreliable information concerning Obama, especially during the 2008 general election, and by this point there's pretty much nothing that mainstream republicans can do about it except entertain the people who believe this stuff by looking as angry about Obama as they need to. If they gave off the impression that Obama wasn't a huge problem then they would end up making themselves look bad to the far right voters rather than the people who keep saying that Obama is dangerous/illegitimate.
[QUOTE=sgman91;45525630]Way to ignore his actual point. (Republicans generally love other black people because of their policies.) I've actually heard quite a few liberals say that Republicans only pretended to like Herman Cain to fool people into thinking they weren't racist. Oh the loops a bigot has to jump through.[/QUOTE] Every side has bigots. Yours too.
Sometimes I wonder how much more everyone would love Obama if he wasn't as thwarted by the Republicans. Albeit both sides are pretty bad, the Republicans, no matter how you twist it, have been by far the worst
