15. I honestly think you will not hear back from "whomever", This is
what happens on many forums when one group supplants their beliefs over the others, and in so doing the moderators allow them to do this even when it goes against the so called rules of the forum.

What I see about the obama people is their desire to be seen as "being right" in their support of obama for the simple reason he is "black". They want to be on the side of supporting the "black" candidate and in doing so seen as somehow superior because they support this candidate. Then go so far as to condemn those of us for supporting the "white" or "woman" candidate and then to label us as either "bigots" or "racists". It is easy to label someone a "bigot" or a "racist" when in fact the candidate they support on numerous occasions has played the race card, as well as that candidates surrogates and then blame it on the other candidate and spouse.

I say, do not let their words in print upset you to the point you leave the forum because then they have won. Stand tall and write what is in your mind and as Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't." and "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." and never allow that to happen.
