We should not vote for a black man to be in office
Being LDS, I am struggling in knowing for whom I should vote for president of the United States. I am sick of the spending of George Bush (and fellow Republicans). Our country is at a critical point when it comes to our national debt and we certainly cannot affort to continue to deficit spend. Obama is a welcome sign for change, but I feel almost guilty considering voting for him. My religion has always been very conservative and my family, local church, and friends all support McCain 100%.
I find it interesting that the church hasn’t told us who to vote for when in the past, they made it quite clear. We should not vote for a black man. I wonder why they don’t bring that up right now 
?
Here is what the prophet Brigham Young preached. I do not agree with it, but I did find it interesting:
“Again to the subject before us: as to the negro men bearing rule, not one of the children of old Cain have one particle of right to bear rule in government affairs from first to last. They have no business there. This privilege was taken from them by their own transgressions, and I cannot help it.
“I am as much opposed to the principle of slavery as any man in the present acceptation or usage of the term - it is abused. I am opposed to abusing that which God has decreed, to take a blessing, and make a curse of it. It is a great blessing to the seed of Adam to have the seed of Cain for servants…”
“Therefore, I will not consent for one moment to have an African dictate (to) me or my brethren with regard to church or state government…No, it is not right. But say some, is there anything of this kind in the constitution the United States has given us? If you will allow me the privilege of telling it right out, it is none of their damned business what we do or say here. What we do, it is for them to sanction, and then for us to say what we like about it. It is written right in the constitution ‘that every free white male inhabitant above the age of 21 years’, and etc…I have given you the true principle and doctrine.
“What the Gentiles are doing, we are consenting to do [he's referring to the "evil" abolitionist effort going on in the USA at the time]. What we are trying to do today is to make the Negro equal with us in all our privileges. My voice shall be against it all the day long. I shall not consent for one moment.”
