I'd vote for a black or a woman....but I sure as hell am not voting for Hillary. Yuck.

I don't see Hillary choosing Obama as a VP after all this back-and-forth they've had as of late, but stranger things have happened. For sure, this is turning out to be one hell of a mess.

See, I figure that the people who aren't happy with the idea of a woman President are the same ones who aren't happy with the idea of a black President. So, the combination of the two wouldn't cost the pair any more than each one alone.

I've never, ever understood this baseless argument from liberals. Conservatives loved Powell as Sec State, we love Condi, we hold the highest respect for the works and experience of people like Libby Dole..... I'm curious, is this just what liberals are taught through bad media, or where does this patently untrue stereotype come from?

This is all just reading the tea leaves, but I see the largest block of anti-black voters being in the Hispanic community, which is predominantly Democrats.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

That said...

I never said (nor do I think) that the majority of Republicans think that way...especially when it's concerning my Republican buddies on this site.


By the way...why would you refer to Obama as " BHO" ???

So, Kerad, exactly how many sitting Republican Senators have also been elected as Exalted Cyclops in the KKK?
