Is it not racist to vote for or against someone based on his skin color ?

Why would any African American, hispanic, woman, or gay and lesbian vote for the republican agenda? Would it be the tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires paid for by cutting all discretionary spending, the pledge to defund Planned Parenthood, the 98% of house republicans who voted no on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the no vote on the Violence Against Women Act, the Blunt-Rubio Amendment, that failed in the senate, but would have allowed women's bosses to decide what health care women would receive?
Or would it be the 1100 bills proposed in 2011 by state legislatures across the country regulating women's health care and the state-mandated vaginal ultrasounds passed by many states?
Or would it be the pledge to roll back Don't Ask, Don't Tell? Or the pledge to rescind the Dream Act, if passed?
It doesn't matter if President Obama is black, brown, white, yellow or pink. He is on the right side of the issues, republicans are not.
