this just shows that we were in line with the national voting.its a shame that some people could not vote on thier morals, political beliefs, or just who would lead us as a country in the right direction. pole after pole shows that people voted in this election because of race more that anything. this is sad. most had no idea of what the cadidates even stood for. personaly i wouldnt care if the best candidate for the job was purple. if color was a factor in your vote then you were wrong on either side , white or black. the best PERSON for the job should be the one elected.
i see that the oboma administration is now going to fund abortion again with our tax dallars. america will pay for murdering its childeren. iam afraid were headed in the wrong direction in a hurry. this finacial crisis may end up being more than a recession, i hope iam wrong and i hope obama ends up being a good president , but one thing is sure THE MAN NEEDS OUR PRAYERS.
I believe that these #’s prove that several people voted color. Isn’t this a form of racism within itself? On both sides?
I am deeply concerned about Obama being our president ONLY for the reason that he doesn’t have morals that line up with the word of the Lord: the Bible. American will be accountable for their acts of sin. Judgement will come! I only pray that God will have mercy on us and extend his grace. Does America not see the blood that drips from their hands?
