It seems to me as though people are putting way too much emphasis on Mr. Obama's color, as if that will make him better or worse as a president.

The citizens who vote for nominees simply because they are black or white, male or female, or Republican or Democrat should be ashamed of themselves.

Voters should consider each individual simply whether or not that person will be the best person to lead this great country at this time in our history.

As for Prop. 8, first of all, Luke 6:31 has absolutely nothing to do with same-sex marriage. If you truly want to know what our Heavenly Father has to say about male to male and female to female coupling read Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Romans 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9 and Jude 1:17 and Isaiah 3:9.

And if you wish to refer to mob rule then you should talk about all the incidents of mayhem and destruction against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints by the people that are against Prop. 8. Think about it. Elmer Cline Simi Valley
