My apologies to Alladin and other Repubs for my comment re, playing the race-card.
It was, and is, directed at one person who repeatedly, in nearly every thread in which Obama is discussed, leads with a comment:
If Obama wasnt black.....blah, blah, blah
If a white man said/did what Obama said/did.....blah blah
Of course, his race is a factor, just as Hillary's gender is a factor. They are historic figures in US election history. But those factors are not what are driving most voters.
I stand by how I characterized that particular poster, who also repeatedly refers to Democrat, in numerous threads, as "socialists", "communists" or "america-bashers"
I do thank him for his personal diagnosis rejecting my characterization of a Republican meltdown
So be it. My opinion stands.
/end of rant (Mods can delete if I am over the line!)
