Some blacks may sit out if Obama loses nomination

Some black voters are making it very clear: They're concerned that Barack Obama is going to be denied the Democratic presidential nomination that they see as rightfully his, and if that happens, a lot of them may stay home in November.

"It would hurt me not to vote," said Charles Clark, an Indianapolis retiree. He's thinking about leaving the presidential box on his ballot blank if Hillary Clinton is the Democrats' nominee.

"There was a heck of a push made so blacks could vote. I know that," he said. "But it would also be very unfair if they pushed Barack Obama to the side."

Yep, that's right folks.  There are people out there who would rather go home and pout that "their" candidate didn't get the nomination, then vote at all.  Who cares that people have actually died trying to get people to have the ability to vote AT ALL right?

That's one of the most childish things I've heard in a long while.  But yet, we keep hearing the same "it's my way or I'll walk" kind of attitude from Democrats at each election.  Remember when celebrities kept saying that they'd move to Canada if Bush won in 2004?

Alec Baldwin, Eddie Vedder, Robert Altman, and more swore they'd move.  Then they didn't get their way, and guess what?  They didn't move.  Pretty much sums up the fact that you're a spoiled cocksucker doesn't it?

Here's my favorite part of it all:

 

Second up the gangplank was the film director Robert Altman, the man behind such films as Short Cuts and The Player.

"If George Bush gets elected President, I will move back to France," he

told reporters at the Cannes film festival. "He's not a very smart man.

He's been put up by his father and a bunch of cronies." Despite the

fact that this statement was caught on film, Altman later denied making

it. He meant to say, he said, that he would move to Paris, Texas,

"because the state would be better off if [Bush] is out of it".

When contacted for this article, Altman was no longer inclined to

discuss the matter. "Isn't this all getting a little silly?" he asked.

 

And

 

[Vedder] has only got as far as Hawaii, where, his spokesman explains,

he is commiserating by "catching a wave". "He won't be leaving the US

but he is extremely disappointed," says Matt Reynolds of Epic Records.

 

Yeah, so go ahead an pout if you lose, it makes you look like such an adult.
