[Hoot Gibson]

I'm assuming you're not a racist, Hoot. You don't have to answer that. However, that's now what we are here discussing, and you know that. I am assuming that you are an ultra conservative person who believes in less government. What I object to is referring to Barack Obama as a "socislist" or as a non-citizen or as a non-Christian and that stuff. I believe in decent, affordable healthcare for all, especially the working poor. I believe that a 40% tax rate for those making over, say, $350,000 is not excessive. I believe in a strong federal government, strong enough to regulate the huge mulit-nationals that RULE our planet, if we're not very careful. What, exactly, is it you value? Just so I understand: you are asserting that racism plays no role in opposition to Barack Obama? Not your racism, Hoot, but is it a factor at some levels?

Bye bye, CM. You've wasted enough of my time for one night.
