Marilyn Davenport, a tea party activist and elected member of the central committee of the Republican Party of Orange County, said she will not heed calls to resign.

The controversial photo shows the president's face superimposed over the head of a baby chimp. The caption beneath the picture read, "Now you know why no birth certificate."

"I was shocked and offended and I immediately replied to her and told her that this was dripping with racism," said Scott Baugh, chairman of the RPOC. "It was sent in poor taste and she should never send an email like that to me again.

"I'm sorry if my email offended anyone, I simply found it amusing regarding the character of Obama and all the questions surrounding his origin of birth," she wrote to committee members. "In no way did I even consider the fact he's half black when I sent out the email. In fact, the thought never entered my mind until one or two other people tried to make this about race."

Yep, the real truth is that conservatives just don't like Obama because he's half black.

It's not because we oppose his socialist, unconstitutional, government takeover of healthcare after campaigning against an insurance mandate, or, his promise to televise the healthcare negotiations which was ignored, or his socialist penchant to 'spread the wealth', the nationalizing of the auto industry, or his refusal to release any documentation concerning himself and his identity, or his unconstitutional war against Libya, or his promise to not hire lobbyists then hiring more than 40 of them, or his promise to post all bills on the internet for 5 days before signing them and the fact that he didn't do that on nearly every bill that he's signed, or his promise not to tax health care benefits then signing a bill to tax them, or his promise to get us out of Iraq, or...

Nope, it's just because he's half black. Now you know the real truth.

All or similiar offenses previously committed by republican administrations too. So who do you propose we vote for to do things differently?

See, we can agree.

I try not to tell others how to vote, but I will tell you how I vote, and that is for the most conservative candidate on the ballot, party be damned. I wanted to vote for Paul in 2008, but he dropped out. I then voted for the Constitution Party candidate, Chuck Baldwin.

This is all, of course, both of us assuming that our votes mean something, and I'm not totally certain that they do.

I voted for Paul anyway. I'm one of those nasty five percenters that get blamed for each party's woes, even though Paul is still in the GOP. There is no popular vote in presidential elections. And Electors technically can vote anyway they want.

I think we need to go back to no primaries. The parties select their best candidates and everyone gets on the final ballot. I'm tired of the taxpayers paying for what the parties are responsible for.

The primaries give you the opportunity to make a personal choice. If the primaries or done away withh, and the parties select their best candidates ... then you are delegating the authority to the parties to make choices for you, are you not?

Candidates that didn't get chosen by a Party could still run as Independent.

I can't think of a reason to opposed to that...right now.

I can.

If Trump runs as an Independent ... does that not insure that Obama will be elected to second term, as the result of vote splitting.

Isn't that what happend when Perot got in?

Trying to remember in my old age is sometimes hard.

Perot siphoned off votes from both parties.
