Lol I know it must have been crazy in Florida but Bush had Florida on lock the first time because his brother was the governor there so he could have easily rigged the election and the supreme court should all get impeached for not following procedures and counting ALL the votes im about to watch Boondocks calm my nerves down 2!

It definitely discourages me ultimately my vote is just letting the congressman know who is more popular then he can sit at his desk and play table tennis and then pick who he wants.

yes, and I think it discourages some folkd from voting b/c they feel that their vote won't count.

Yeah its the electoral college votes that count though our votes are counted as popularity votes which sounds like some bull to me.

I've been bonin' up on the electorial college vote, just so that I have a better understanding on what matters in the actual election process.
I vote no matter what. period.

Lol at my babydaddy Obama. Black people need some kind of leader because Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and farrakhan aint cuttin it right now and Obama is perfect he has a legitimate shot of being president and the first lady would be the voice of not only black women but for women everywhere Obama is rapidly coming up on Hilary Clinton I think he's down about 10% .

OMG....them saltines, are out right Klansman.
A black man President of The United States of America, whew!!
and married to a Black woman who looks, sounds like a Black woman.
She looks like a sistah, I went to college with....
 
A few weeks ago, I saw her giving an intro for her husband, and the whole thing was smoothe, eloquent, ...I mean just beautiful, and then right there at the very tail end she gone bust out and say
 
...."my baby daddy Barack Obama"
  lmbootyoff.............man paint the white house black......and break out the crunk juice lol
 
But seriously....I am very proud of them.
 
The first lady always has her own agenda, and folks have already started with the hair weave return policy jokes.....
 
she can take it though................
beside every great Black Man  Is a Great Black Woman.

Yeah he seems very ambitious I'm no psychic but I'm pretty sure there will be major changes to alot of things if he's in office to Hiliary's credit I think she would be a great vice-president to run alongside Obama  . He definitely has my support alot of people won't be able to see past his skin color though especially in Idaho and Montana(Aryan Nation).

I hope and pray he will be effective
Which means knowledge
compassion,  plan of action,
loyalty to the hard working ,
as well as to those who are burried underneath the poverty level
I want to watch him champion
healthcare reform, prison reform, and affirmative action, immigration
Raeganomics have never been undone, Obama  has work to do.
He is going to need blankets of secret service, when he starts  doing the job correctly.
 
I pray that he will continue to be a stand up guy
you know what they say 'all my skinfolk ain't my kinfolk"
 
Loyalty and alegience to the American.
I hope he will not dishonor himself
and  we all pray he will not be assassinated.
Oprah is behind him 100%
 
Hilary would prolly end up carrying on the legacy of her husband, which allowed the genocide  of the  tutsi, I know Black folks love them som Clinton, but need I remind them that the tutsi genocide happened on Clintons watch.
So that's one of the reasons I am not gongho on Hilary, but she would be my second choice.

O ok I know that as far as Jersey goes an ex-con is pretty much screwed I'm a little rusty on my criminal justice but in alot of states your record can be sealed but if an employer digs hard enough they can find your conviction meaning your still screwed and I think Obama has a trick up his sleeve that he won't bring up until he's president he's black so he understands our plight.

Excellent point on Obama
he can not dis that right now betta let it be his hold card, dis it later
 
too liberal for the moment.
 
Now I have done some research on the expungement.seal thing.
The law differs on this from state to state. Laws do change but here in IL. Expungements are possible, as long as the conditions are  right, for example in IL, a conviction NO conviction AT ALL can EVER be expunged....period.
Sealing is a dofferent matter, after four years certain convictions can be sealed. Again this is in IL....I have researched this through something called the Legal Clinic or something like that here is a link you can check out

Nope the for most crimes the criminal record doesnt get expunged unless you committed crimes as a minor then once you turn 18 it's a fresh start so most ex-cons usually have to work "under the books" kind of jobs or they have to jobs that no one else to do if they are eligible such as trash picking and under minimum wage factory jobs I know because when I was a minor I had a criminal record and I had to work the factory loading 75 pound boxes onto trucks from sun up to sun down and Obama can't even talk about that right now when and if he gets elected he can bring up a plan like that if he brings that up now he would lose alot of support.

I Love my Brothers, and the majority only needed gainful employment....
I would steal tooif I felt hopeless.
 
I was hoping part of Obamas platform would include Prison Reform
 
our brothers and sisters locked up need help to get out and stay out

thank you for the enlightenment
so that is the barrier to useful training in prison....
Certification-----!
gotta have the credentials, and if you do have a criminal background I can imagine it's rock hard to get a prospective employer to even consider hiring someone who has a conviction.
 
What about sealing, or expungement, I know there is a waiting period from the time you finish probation etc..
..A conviction cant be expunged, and some convictions are inelligible to be sealed.....the only thing I can think of is incentives to employers for hiring offenders.....

Thats crazy it isnt until I started working on my criminal justice degree a few years ago that my eyes started opening up they have alot of trades in the prison system they just dont get the proper certification to continue on the outside and it seems like once you have a criminal record they blackball you and you can't get no jobs which forces you to resort to illegal things to sustain yourself and the family the system is designed to hold us back and whoever doesn't agree is naive and foolish the government cant be openly racist so its become alot less physical and more mental.

thats my point sinse they are being exploited, make it work for all of society.....it's a win win
bridges get  the attention they deserve, people are safe, labor is cheap, and my brothers have a marketable trade upon release.
 
Instead of a worthless 25 cents, and no rehabilitation, 
my brothers in prison = Black Gold
arrest the poor and down troden,
this creates prison jobs, so that more folk can pay taxes.
 
set the govenor of TX and CA on fire.

we ge'in stats back now..nationwide about bridges all over that are defficient, and corroded.... man 
what else is more important than safety.,
hell train some of my brothers in prison in road work construction, and upon their release atleast they will have a damned trade and improve chances of not re-offending,
and landing back into the penal system.
Free labor, and some job training...but NOOOOOOO the tax payers are going to be all outraged over a program like that...
 
know why
b/c it's too damn much like right!!!
 
My only fear of death is reincarnation
