RUBE SAYS: I thought for sure this blog would have a bigger trun out. Oh well! The Obama hate groups such as the one you belong to Sunshine and Kara are shrinking. I say: Rube, it has been posted for about 2 hours.. I am sure others will post comments later in the day and if they don&#39;t ..who cares.. the point is to communicate with people and even one counts in my book if they learn something about the real Obama. Rube says: An Open Letter to Certain White Women Who are Threatening to Withhold Support From Barack Obama in November By Tim Wise June 5, 2008 This is an open letter to those white women who, despite their proclamations of progressivism, and supposedly because of their commitment to feminism, are threatening to withhold support from Barack Obama in November. You know who you are. I say:.. Rube.. and Tim Wise.. first of all you start off with a premise that is not true.. I will not support or vote for Obama because of who he is.. not who I am and what I believe is right for women, men, children, or society as a whole.. or the country.. It is rather that what Obama represents is bad for all of those areas.. he threatens all of us and our country by his extreme left socialist policies and his attachments to those that are unscrupulous and have personal agendas that are not in our best interests.. Rezko and Khaladi, Wright and Farrakahn, Ayers and Dohrn and the PLO, Cones black liberation theology, George Soros, Walter Veltroni, Odinga and Kenyan Islamic extremists, the list goes on and on.. and it is nothing like a list of buddies that would in any way fall under those befitting a president.. Rube says: I know that it&#39;s probably a bad time for this. Your disappointment at the electoral defeat of Senator Hillary Clinton is fresh, the sting is new, and the anger that animates many of you--who rightly point out that the media was often sexist in its treatment of the Senator--is raw, pure and justified. That said, and despite the awkward timing, I need to ask you a few questions, and I hope you will take them in the spirit of solidarity with which they are genuinely intended. But before the questions, a statement if you don&#39;t mind, or indeed, even if (as I suspect), you will mind it quite a bit. First, for those of you threatening to actually vote for John McCain and to oppose Senator Obama, or to stay home in November and thereby increase the likelihood of McCain winning and Obama losing (despite the fact that the latter&#39;s policy platform is virtually identical to Clinton&#39;s while the former&#39;s clearly is not), all the while claiming to be standing up for women... For those threatening to vote for John McCain or to stay home and increase the odds of his winning (despite the fact that he once called his wife the c-word in public and is a staunch opponent of reproductive freedom and gender equity initiatives, such as comparable worth legislation), all the while claiming to be standing up for women... For those threatening to vote for John McCain or to stay home and help ensure Barack Obama&#39;s defeat, as a way to protest what you call Obama&#39;s sexism (examples of which you seem to have difficulty coming up with), all the while claiming to be standing up for women... Your whiteness is showing. When I say your whiteness is showing this is what I mean: You claim that your opposition to Obama is an act of gender solidarity, in that women (and their male allies) need to stand up for women in the face of the sexist mistreatment of Clinton by the press. On this latter point--the one about the importance of standing up to the media for its often venal misogyny--you couldn&#39;t be more correct. As the father of two young girls who will have to contend with the poison of patriarchy all their lives, or at least until such time as that system of oppression is eradicated, I will be the first to join the boycott of, or demonstration on, whatever media outlet you choose to make that point. But on the first part of the above equation--the part where you insist voting against Obama is about gender solidarity--you are, for lack of a better way to put it, completely full of crap. And what&#39;s worse is that at some level I suspect you know it. Voting against Senator Obama is not about gender solidarity. It is an act of white racial bonding, and it is grotesque. AND I SAY: HEY..YOU ARE RIGHT.. THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER SOLIDARITY TO ME.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.!!! AND IT ALSO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHITE RACIAL BONDING EITHER.. WHATEVER THAT IS. AND RUBE GOES ON: it were gender solidarity you sought, you would by definition join with your black and brown sisters come November, and do what you know good and well they are going to do, in overwhelming numbers, which is vote for Barack Obama. But no. You are threatening to vote not like other women--you know, the ones who aren&#39;t white like you and most of your friends--but rather, like white men! Needless to say it is high irony, bordering on the outright farcical, to believe that electorally bonding with white men, so as to elect McCain, is a rational strategy for promoting feminism and challenging patriarchy. You are not thinking and acting as women, but as white people. So here&#39;s the first question: What the hell is that about? MY ANSWER TO YOU: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT..??? OH MY..YOU MISSED THE BOAT DIDN&#39;T YOU?? lol.. This is about a greenhorn by the name of Obama who has no real qualifications for president, no experience as he was only in his first half of his first term as a U.S. SENATOR, who has shown himself over the past year to be a chronic liar, an arrogant elitist, an opportunist, a RACIST, oh yes.. as is his wife..evidenced by their 20 year stint with Cones black liberation theology, he has no integrity as he never once took a stand against racism and hate and never left the church that embraced it; who has such poor judgement that he associates himself with the likes of criminals, terrorists, Islamic extremists, marxists, communists, foreign interests with their personal agendas like George Soros, and many others. He has a wife that thinks America is mean and who has never been proud of her country.. who gives speeches that smack of communism and marxism.. that want to control our lives and turn our country into a socialist empire that will meld with Soros&#39; dream to be king of the global government..and he has made it plain that he will kiss the butts of anyone that will vote for him.. irregardless of integrity and honor.. he sells his soul and his character down the drain every other day in the name of getting elected and gaining power and fame.. NOT FOR THE REASON OF BEING A GOOD LEADER.. THAT IS CERTAIN..AND WELL DEMONSTRATED. NOW GET THIS..RUBE.. AND TIME WISE.. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US VOTING LIKE ANYONE ELSE.. IT IS TO DO WITH VOTING LIKE US.. THINKING PEOPLE.. MEN AND WOMEN WHO SEE OBAMA FOR WHO HE REALLY IS AND CHOOSING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY.. THAT IS NOT OBAMA.. WE FIERCELY DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHOMEVER.. WE CHOOSE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN AS A LESS DETRIMENTAL INFLUENCE ON THE WELL BEING OF THE COUNTRY AND ITS CITIZENS FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNTIL WE CAN AGAIN HOPE FOR SOMEONE WITH THE QUALIFICATIONS AND INTERESTS THAT MEET WITH THE STRONG CHARACTER AND PERSONAL QUALITIES THAT SHOULD BE THERE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. obama has none of them... MY POINT IS.. dont you dare tell us who we can or cannot vote for or why.. we call the shots on our votes.. not you and not Obama and not the Obama camp and not Dean or Pelosi or Soros either. DID YA&#39; GET THAT? RUBE SAYS: And you wonder why women of color have, for so long, thought (by and large) that white so-called feminists were phony as hell? Sister please... MY ANSWER IS: There are many feminists out there and even our group may contain them.. but that is not our common ground..our common ground is what is good for our country and it&#39;s citizens..put the feminism out of your mind.. it&#39;s not an issue here. rube says: Your threats are not about standing up for women. They are only about standing up for the feelings of white women, and more to the point, the aspirations of one white woman. So don&#39;t kid yourself. If you wanted to make a statement about the importance of supporting a woman, you wouldn&#39;t need to vote for John McCain, or stay home, thereby producing the same likely result--a defeat for Obama. You could always have said you were going to go out and vote for Cynthia McKinney. After all, she is a woman, running with the Green Party, and she&#39;s progressive, and she&#39;s a feminist. But that isn&#39;t your threat is it? No. You&#39;re not threatening to vote for the woman, or even the feminist woman. Rather, you are threatening to vote for the white man, and to reject not only the black man who you feel stole Clinton&#39;s birthright, but even the black woman in the race. And I wonder why? Could it be...? See, I told you your whiteness was showing MY ANSWER IS: MAN YOU ARE SO SCREWED IN THE HEAD IT ISN&#39;T FUNNY.. first of all.. this is nothing to do with voting for a woman..or a white.. it is to do with.. as I pointed out above.. NOT VOTING FOR SOMEONE WE CONSIDER VERY BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY AND US.. FOR OUR IMAGE AS A NATION, FOR OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD, WITH OUR SECURITY, WITH OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.. CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR BLOCK HEAD PERHAPS..???/ WE WOULD ALL OF US VOTE FOR A BLACK PERSON..MAN OR WOMAN,, IF IT WERE THE RIGHT ONE.. AND THERE ARE MANY I KNOW OF THAT WE WOULD VOTE FOR RIGHT NOW, BUT NOT OBAMA..HE IS NOT RIGHT.. NOT THE ONE..NOT GOOD AND NOT SUITABLE..NOT QUALIFIED OR EXPERIENCED ENOUGH.. AT THIS POINT I MUST SAY I AM TAKING LIBERTIES BY SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OTHERS BUT IF THEY DONT AGREE WITH ME THEY CAN SET THEIR FEELINGS DOWN HERE BELOW THIS AND LET US KNOW THEIR STANCE AS WELL. MY WHITENESS IS SHOWING.. HOGWASH.. GUTTERTRIPE..BULLSHIP.. YOU DONT KNOW EVEN A LITTLE WHAT YOU SPEAK OF.. AND BELIEVE ME.. SOME OF US ARE BLACK IN CASE YOU DIDNT KNOW THAT TOO..IT IS NOT A RACIAL ISSUE.. YOU JUST PREFER TO MAKE IT ONE SO YOU HAVE AN EXCUSE TO BLAME SOMEONE WITH.. SORRY TO DENY YOU THAT. WHY NOT GET A REAL JOB AND GO DISECT THE INTERESTS OF THESE UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE WHO BEFRIEND OBAMA.. SEE IF YOU CAN DO SOME GOOD THERE.. BUT QUIT TRYING TO READ OUR MINDS AND HEARTS.. YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE VERY POOR AT IT.

The election will go in the direction that the undecideds go. So why in the world do those of you that are set on your candidate spend so much time argueing with each other and calling each other names. &quot;Whiteness is showing.....&quot; I am highly offended by that. So if I choose not to vote for Obama, then my whiteness is showing?!....That only makes me gravitate the other direction. I will not be bullied into a vote. One last thing to Rube, you were one of the people on here I was listening to and had respect for. But if you are going to make assumptions about people that are neither accurate or true, maybe he is the wrong candidate for me?!? I cant get into that.

It&#39;s clear Rube employs a double standard and doesn&#39;t know the first thing about you or anyone else he has addressed here, not least of all, Barack Obama. Notice how Rube (like Obama) never actually answers any of the questions put to him. This is not the mark of men who are standing on the right side of anything. Now that Rube has shown his true colors, stooped to deliver second grade level insults, and doesn&#39;t seem to be enjoying a laugh anymore: mission accomplished. 2008-07-19T12:07:30Z JRenee~DTNS~PUMA http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/496486/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/4/9/6/4/8/6/profiles_757654_3314_123574_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="irishnurse~Nobama~never ever"/> <small>irishnurse~Nobama~never ever</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+3 raves</b> </div> you are a fool and thats about it! posting racist nonsense!! keep telling yourself that this is the reason ,keep telling your self!!! it shows who the real racists are! 2008-07-19T02:27:50Z irishnurse~Nobama~never ever http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/238181/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/2/3/8/1/8/1/profiles_islandparadise_2924_589922_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="sunshine-NObama"/> <small>sunshine-NObama</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+1 raves</b> </div> please read my comment above and pls answer my question..thank you 2008-07-18T23:22:00Z sunshine-NObama http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/238181/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/2/3/8/1/8/1/profiles_islandparadise_2924_589922_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="sunshine-NObama"/> <small>sunshine-NObama</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+2 raves</b> </div> J.. what I told Rube was that we have blacks in our family..children and grandchildren married into the family.. but we also have chinese, italian, irish, french..

Even if you are one of the folks who planned to withhold your vote you most certainly have that right. I can’t help but to notice that if a poll or blog doesn’t pertain to one they would ignore it. I thought that posting the letter would catch the attention of someone who the letter does pertain to in an effort to help them rationalize their angry with the DNC or whom ever. Renee you seem like a very nice person and I don’t get the impression that you are a prejudice, so why do you follow folks like Sunshine instead of have you own voice. I think Sunshine is cool she just has some issue that she grew up with that she really can’t control. With that said I don’t want to cause trouble but I don’t like it when folks make unsubstantiated accusations about people they don’t know. For the record not once have I ever stated to Sunshine or anyone on this website that I want them to vote for Barack Obama voting is a right that no one can take from us. I hope this comment sheds some light on my motives and that is to seek and speak the truth. 2008-07-18T20:42:26Z Rube Freedom Fighter http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/237260/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/2/3/7/2/6/0/profiles_Ophelia_4614_353350_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="JRenee~DTNS~PUMA"/> <small>JRenee~DTNS~PUMA</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+1 raves</b> </div> Say, Rube, are those people who have decided to vote for Cynthia also showing their &quot;whiteness?&quot; <OBJECT orig_size="425x344" width="250" height="202"><param name="allownetworking" value="internal"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"/><param name="enableJSURL" value="false"/><param name="enableHREF" value="false"/><param name="saveEmbedTags" value="true"/><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9jJtSkQlhqI"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9jJtSkQlhqI" allownetworking="internal" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="never" enableHREF="false" height="202" width="250" enableJSURL="false" orig_size="425x344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/></OBJECT> 2008-07-18T20:02:04Z JRenee~DTNS~PUMA http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/324923/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/3/2/4/9/2/3/profiles_FreedomFighter_2003_383635_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="Rube Freedom Fighter"/> <small>Rube Freedom Fighter</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+1 raves</b> </div> <A href="http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w262/gator_momma/Applause.gif" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><IMG orig_size="425x284" width="250" height="167" src="http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w262/gator_momma/Applause.gif"/></A> 2008-07-18T19:20:05Z Rube Freedom Fighter http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/237260/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/2/3/7/2/6/0/profiles_Ophelia_4614_353350_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="JRenee~DTNS~PUMA"/> <small>JRenee~DTNS~PUMA</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+2 raves</b> </div> In that case, you must be a very happy man. <A href="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/HPM/SDM10~Homer-XXXXL-Posters.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><IMG orig_size="307x450" width="250" height="366" src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/HPM/SDM10~Homer-XXXXL-Posters.jpg" alt="case happy" title="case happy"/></A> 2008-07-18T19:02:14Z JRenee~DTNS~PUMA http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/ <div align="left"><a href="http://sodahead.com/user/profile/591823/"> <img src="http://images.sodahead.com/images/profiles/0/0/0/5/9/1/8/2/3/profiles_114535Elevation1_1300_44576_media_small.jpeg" align="middle" border="0" alt="texgem"/> <small>texgem</small></a> </div> <div><a href="http://sodahead.com/blog/9678/"></a> <b>+2 raves</b> </div> Ya know last election, I was called a &quot;white middle class male&quot;.
