I opposed Cap-and-trade when John McCain proposed it. I also opposed healthcare reform when President Bill Clinton supported it. Does that make me a double racist as in both anti-black and anti-white? I guess that might be right seeing as how I’m South Korean. Well, unless this is like mathematics and a double negative equals a positive.

I’ve been thinking a lot about racism since President Obama entered office and those who oppose his bill have been called it. I don’t feel like a racist or that I’m being motivated by it. Well according to a new Rasmussen survey that may be because I’m not. At least according to 88% of the nation with 88% of Republicans saying most of the opponents are not racist. Joining them are 78% of Independents and 39% of Democrats.
