Be Honest: Are You Not Voting For Obama Because He's Black?

Question

Or are you going to make up some kind of justification because you don't want to admit the reason you're not voting for him is that he's black?

Try and sell the "lack of experience" excuse to someone else. Look at the records of all of the other candidates. Giuliani was a mayor, Fred Thompson was a lobbyist and lazy Senator, Hillary has seven years as Senator under her belt, John Edwards has six as Senator.

Besides, look at someone like Cheney with decades of experience in Washington, would you vote for him?

I see a few racists in denial among the answers. Sad.

Answer 1

no I'm not , I'm a libertarian and my beliefs are fundamentally different from obama's beliefs.

i supported Alan Keys in his run for the president, but was probably the only one.
he was told he wasn't black enough also, but it was in the form of being called a uncle tom cause he ran on the republican ticket

Answer 2

Here's a little election trivia for you...Senators rarely get voted for President.

Obama shows a glaring naivety about foreign affairs and right now, foreign affairs is on the top of the list of major issues for a presidential candidate. And, yeah, even as a senator, he has very little experience. Maybe, as a V-P candidate, he has some potential, but as a President...in 0-8...he just isn't ready.

Answer 3

I am not voting for Obama because I am a Republican and don't agree with him. The only one of that lot I like is Bill Richardson. But, many people will use other justifications but the real reason is he is black. Same thing with Hillary and being a woman. Some people will probably go as far as to say they will vote for him so they don't sound racist and when in the privacy of their voting booth they will put down someone elses name, but tell everyone they voted for Obama.

Answer 4

No. It's because he's a game-playing wanna-be who isn't smart enough to know when to quit. If he really cared about making things better, then he's take what's left of his campaign contributions & help the people that are in need. He's a joke in my eyes who just happens to be a light skinned black man who has less of a clue than he should about what he should say & do when he is in Public! I don't like the mere fact that he was raised Muslim!

Answer 5

No I'm voting for Kuchinich because he's the best choice for our countries mess we have to clean up!

Answer 6

No, because the comments he made about entering Pakistan without permission make me a little timid as to what his foreign policy beliefs are. I don't like his ideas about gun control, abortion, and I'm torn regarding his immigration policies.

From experience I've learned something about the guy in the room he keeps ridiculing everyone about something; ie being racist, he often needs to look in a mirror.

Answer 7

Quit trying to intimidate people by using the race card.

I'm not voting for him because I don't agree with his policies.

I am not voting for dems because I can't stand them.

Take your racist accusations and stuff them.

Answer 8

Oh yeah? What do you have to say about Ron Paul?!

I don't vote for him because he's a Democrat, who is like most Democrats. He's willing to send troops to Pakistan and has not criticized America's foreign policy for Israel. He will not promise anything better than we have today, he voted for Real ID, and some pointed out he's not specified his 'new direction' he's moving us towards.

Answer 9

You are absolutely correct. Obama IS inexperienced. Vote for Ron Paul. Ron Paul has survived adversity while sticking to his principals. You know where he stands on everything, he's stood there his entire career.

Answer 10

The reason I am not voting for him has nothing to do with his race/color or religion, it has to do with the fact that I don't feel he has enough experience for that position.
