No emotion, just frustration of America turning into a nanny state.

By the way, what constitutes "lazy"? or "leaches" (I'll assume that you meant "leeches")? People that are crippled or infirmed? People that have reached a financially comfortable point in life that they no longer have to work? Who should decide that definition?
Please define things for us. I only ask because now you seem to also want to define Blacks in this way. Also, because I fall into the crippled (partially) category, the financially comfortable category, and I'm also Black! Should I not have the right to vote?
Leeches(thanks for the correction):Able bodied people that rely on the government for support rather than work and earn a living.
Lazy:People that choose not to work because they can avoid work by allowing the government to fund their life.

I explained in the post you quoted SSI based on a producer being unable to continue producing. Persons retired that were producers when they retired regardless of reason for retirement should be able to vote. SSI is the insurance for disabled workers under the SS act.

Is this where your dislike for Obama really coming from? A Black has achieved what you could not, and you are ashamed of that fact? That is only because he made the effort to achieve, and did not waste idle time in blaming others for his own shortcomings in life. You should learn the lesson here.
I have no ill feelings toward any other flavor of human on earth that has achieved more than I have. Everyone can look at the Help Wanted ads and see the possibilities of destinations... I like this way of putting it from the movie Scent of a Woman "Lt. Col. Frank Slade: [Lt. Col. Frank Slade is speaking in defense of Charlie Simms at meeting at the Baird School] Now I have come to the cross-roads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the cross-roads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey."

There is no such thing as a pure white person and race has nothing to do with what I've been saying. My point is people of Afro American origin have prospered in America and others have not. People of all races have prospered in America and others of their individual races have not... My position is, and remains that only those in the Afro American race that fail are told they are "unfortunate" because somewhere in their family tree their ancestors were constrained.

My dislike for Senator Obama's positions have nothing to do with his race but his ideology. If Larry Elder would run for president I'd vote for him. I think Obama is a communist or communist-lite... I think he supports Rev. Wright's point of view of the Black Liberation Theology and, in general supports the same thing as most Democratic politicians... The idea of government being Robin Hood stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. I like Robin Hood if the King is evil but there is no basis for a Robin Hood in America because every flavor of American can look at the help wanted ads and if "qualified" become successful... Every American knows down deep the path... I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. and NO American should be able to fall back on any excuse like I'm unfortunate for not becoming successful. If you can make it then they can make it... those who think they are unfortunate because a politician told them they are unfortunate should not be able to open your or my wallet in order that they not be considered unfortunate.
mouse, mice
louse, lice
house, uhh ignore that one


The plural of "spouse" is "spice".
