88. Yes, it does.
You accuse me of sexism for rejecting Hillary, even though I touted Sebelius, Napolitano and Boxer as infinitely better candidates. Imagine that, I support women for the presidency! Not only that, one of them is a Jewish woman! *GASP* But they aren't Hillary, so I guess I'm a sexist?

You make blanket statements which suggest electing a black guy, a Latino or a woman will automatically guarantee the votes of black people, Latinos or women, an argument which is vaguely racist and sexist in its own right. Any counter-argument I present (like Ferraro, Steele and Blackwell), you play the "sexist" card.

You rail against "white men" dominating electoral politics and make blanket statements about people being sexist for not supporting your preferred candidate, yet you conveniently conceal your own identity.

You have now created two threads, both borderline flamebait, which suggest that anyone who values qualifications above race or sex is racist or sexist. God forbid Barack Obama actually finishes out a full Senate term before he runs for the presidency! (BTW - I think Obama would make a fine president, but not in 2008)

I voted for Dean in the '04 primaries, even though Sharpton and Moseley-Braun are both black, and Moseley-Braun is female. I felt Dean was our best candidate. I guess I'm sexist?

Keep in mind Moseley-Braun, when she dropped out, endorsed none other than.....Howard Dean. Is she racist for not supporting Sharpton?

So right now I'd say your credibility is by a generous estimate at about 5%, and your refusal to reveal your own identity drops your credibility down to about 0%.
