The front runner for my vote is the Euro Republican from Texas, Dr. Ron Paul. He seems to be the only person who doesn't speak hollow rhetoric and is for what is genuinely good for this country. Does thinking so make me an Uncle Tom?
Check out his views for yourself...

Wel i wouldn't call you an Uncle Tom, simply because i think it trivialises the seriousness of the issue at hand.
For someone who comes across as an intelligent, African thinking person to vote for the Republican party is just plain delusional. You cannot separate the Party from its leader. No matter how juicy his so called policies are, the Repubican agenda will always be the priority. And from what i have seen of what this party stands for, i wouldn't vote for anyone running for them....even if it was Malcolm X!
Having watched his so called policies, one could say that had Powell the courage to speak pubicly, they wouldn't be so far off in the way they think.....the question then is, would you have voted for the Republicans if powell was running? The reason i am asking this is that i can sense some kind of "black resistance" from most AA towards Obama. This is a well known disease amongst our people where we tend to resist authority from someone who may "looks" like us or supposed to be representing us. Now, i am not really saying that you should vote for Obama just because he is half of us without finding out anything he stands for.
But it is important that you find out what he actually stands for before running off to vote for whitey because all of a sudden you have turned guluble and starts to believe a word coming out of their cunning mouths.
No, i wouldn't call you an Uncle Tom...i would call you worse if you voted for one the most dispicable party in America...a party thats responsible, via Reagan, for bombarding AA communities with drugs and lawlessness throughout the 80s. Oh and the icing on the cake...Ron actually admires Reagan....is that the kind of politician you want to vote for?
