I have been through 10 presidential elections and this year's campaign is the first time that has resulted in any of my friends breaking off relationships for voting for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States.These people still believe the libelous smear campaign accusations that first surfaced when the campaign first started.
They would send me every vicious pack of lies they received in the e-mail campaign and I would search out the truth and provide links to back up my research ,all to no avail.I can't help but believe that racial fears are at the bottom of the thought patterns.I was under the impression that racial hatred had been subdued;however,I firmly believe that racism is alive and well,it's just that people have nbot had to face it before.I still think that the denial is so deeply ingrained that other excuses for their beliefs take center stage.
We still have a long way to go in the USA and I hopoe that we are not sliding backwards undera pretense of going forward.I chose my support for Senator Obama based on research leading to my belief that he is the man who can lead us to be a better country.
