First thing out of his mouth: Racial |

Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 11:16 PM by LibraLiz1973
I can't stand it.
THIS is the hype baloney people are buying.
On Edit: You don't vote for someone because they are black, white, asian, spanish, indian, female or male. You vote for them because of their politics. This election is about change- IMPORTANT NECESSARY CHANGE. Not about race. I'm offended that he's making it a race issue.

33. Why do you think race isn't a legitmate topic for a politcian to raise? |
|
America has a long, ugly racist history. It was founded on a genocide and built by slaves. If we manage to take a baby step out of the hatred, that should be a cause for celebration any night of the year.
I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER THAT A BLACK MAN WON IN IOWA. THANKS FOR THE HOPE!

And, you didn't answer my question. Why isn't race be a legit topic for a candidate to broach?

64. I find the whole thing offensive |

And by that, I also mean people who make Hillary's gender an issue. She's a woman. He's black. B.F.D. There have been black and female leaders in other countries. Why does it have to be such a big deal here? Regardless of gender, race or religion- the best candidate is the best candidate. I think Obama making it racial or Hillary making it about girl power is just off.

Huckabee said pretty much the exact same thing as Obama, because they were both underdog campaigns. Don't let your hate for Obama color your view of reality.
