According to you, Superbad, and Kenny, that makes me a racist. The truth of the matter is that it has everything to do with Obama's policy and nothing to do with the color of his skin. Instead of being realistic about that reality, you guys are trying to paint me as a racist.

Obama supports granting driver's licenses to illegals. In my opinion as a voter, that idea is a perversion of justice and no matter how hard I try to see the logic in it, I can't.

McCain: "Our proposal is basically you can get a tamper-proof visa after your job has been proven that it cannot be filled by an American citizen. ... What do you do with the 11 million people that are already here? ... Make them earn citizenship because they have broken our laws. My friends, thats not amnesty. Amnesty is forgiveness. We're not forgiving anything."

Again McCain: Border security is the "first and foremost priority."

McCain's position is much closer to my own, so I would consider voting for him because immigration affects me more than any other issue that is being discussed. Somehow that makes me a racist? As I said, Superbad's contention that any democrat who votes for McCain over Obama is automatically a racist is so simplistic it hardly deserves a response.
