sure they do. theres a difference between genuine support and rigged polling questions (Zogby, Quinnipiac) along with political intimidation(ADL, ACLU, Sothern Poverty Law, Every major network) and 100 other political action groups; from the fresnozionists comittee to the Big daddy who buys the politicians (AIPAC) Keep telling yourself that, the majority supports it. Oh and things aren't going to change. Seriously.

"a women"? Really? *sighs* Doesn't anybody spell check before creating threads?

Putting that issue aside, I don't accept the way you framed the question. I don't assess candidates on their race or sex. I assess on policy statements and character, with greater emphasis on the former.

Many people have put a great deal of emphasis on the fact that two "minority" candidates are in this race. I will admit that I'm a bit proud that our nation has progressed to the level where this can happen, but I'm not going to vote for either candidate because of that.

although i understand what you mean... the fact that hillary and obama are the democratic front runners is nothing to be proud of... you can argue all you want but the fact of the matter is that the only reason Obama and Clinton are getting the nod is BECAUSE THEY ARE MINORITIES and thats fucked up. Obama has what like 6 years in the senate? not even? hillary also very inexperienced... oh but she's a clinton... ok i get it...

now i would be shitting myself with glee if the republican nomination was between condi and powell.... now THAT is a tough choice... but rest assured the democratic candidate could be jesus... i would still be voting for a "woman or a black guy"

He is really not that knowledgeable about anything. I think that if you are voting for McCain you either have really strong biases or you are a puppet of the media and the ignorant.

So what then Obama? Or Clinton? Obama reminds me of Carter. He's only been a senator for three years. Thats like grabing someone off of the streets. I think Clinton would do a better job them Obama. And McCain would do alot better them both of them. Maybe your the puppet or ignorant.

It's a choice of 3 liberals.
-One who has never done anything the entire time he has has been in office, is buddies with a devout racist, and a self admitted terrorist.
-One who doesn't know which side of the fence he wants to be on, claims to be for one side but consistently shows otherwise.
-One who is so hungry for power, is willing to lie to the face of everyone in the way just to get where she wants to be.


God help us.

Seriously, if he does make it to the be POTUS, it's because he is the lesser of 3 evils. I will vote for McCain only because Hillary scares the shit out of me with her ideas, and Obama doesn't stand for shit outside of what Hillary does, and he has no experience.

I don't care for McCain one way or another. I wish Duncan Hunter, or Fred Thompson had stayed on, hell, even Huckabee was a more viable option for me, but shit....all we are left with is McCain.
