No Winx I am just honest with myself.I suppose the 96% of the black voters that voted for Obama are also wrong?I don't care if it is PC or not.From what I have learned in my life is that the strongest leaders of both the Christian faith and who are running this country are white males. Why everyone gives minorites a free pass for voting for their own but you call white males racist for voting for white males is so hypocritical it is stomach turning.It's fine for the blacks to only votes for blacks but for the whites to only votes for whites your the scum of the earth. Please spare me the idiotic,unrealistic,and holier than thou soap box speech that only you and one other person care about. To vote for a person because of there race or religion is almost as bad as not voting for a person because of their race or religion. I think the black people that voted for Obama because he is black are just as bad as the wight people who voted for Mcain because he is wight. We need to look past race and religion look for quality today. I would vote for an black Iraqi Muslim woman if she was the most qualified. I don't care who that pisses off. Well number I have been involved in politics a long time and your a fool if you think that the best person for the job is always the best way to vote.Just because someone is doing a good job that doesn't mean that the majority of the people under that person is happy.A person could be doing a good job running a city but how many people are going to be happy paying 13% sales tax?Permits to have garage sales,not being able to wash your car in your own driveway,not smoking on public beaches,and hundreds of other idiotic laws that I have dealt with that made me think I was living in Communist China all because I thought I was voting for the best person for the job. I vote for the person who has my best interest in mind not for the person most qualified.I am going to vote for a person who is pro military,pro America,and pro Christianity.That is my ideal leader and that is what I am looking for.

I think you are stupid for not considering a persons skin color and race when voting.If you are going to vote in a group of hispanics you shouldn't be surprised if they are spending all their time on hispanic issues.I'm old enough to know that birds of a feather stick together.I'll vote white,Christian,males/females first and everyone else second.They are going to have the majority of my interests and beliefs that I support and like.I could care less about diversity,equality,and quotas. This is exactly what is wrong with this country, the average idiot only cares about their own kind. 'If it helps me, screw everyone else.' That's the kind of thinking that is flushing this country down the drain. I have a vote and I will vote any way I please.It is not up to you or anyone else to tell me what I have to like or dislike,who I have to vote for and who not to vote for.I am only looking out for my best interest because I only have one life to live and I am not going to live it by someone elses standards of what this country should be run like. Your screw everyone else theory only works if I am in the minority.When I have the majority you are the one that is screwed. Your last sentence is correct, the majority has the power, and if something helps them, they don't care how it hurts the minority. However, you are missing the meaning of the quotes. 'If it helps me,screw everyone else.' That is what most people think, it's human nature. I think it's time to evolve past that kind of thinking. I makes no sense to me or anyone else to upset millions to please a few hundreds.I keep hearing this liberal nonsense that the minority should always rule which is total nonsense BECAUSE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEN MCCAIN SHOULD BE PRESIDENT SINCE HE WAS THE MINORITY!

At the risk of being controversial, I do NOT vote for the most 'diverse' candidate because 'diversity' is just a lot of crap. Unity is what makes a nation strong - the 'benefits' of 'diversity' serves only to weaken us. Borders. Language. Culture. Learn it. Love it. Live it.

Just remember it's only PC correct and diverse for the white owned companies to hire minorites.We will never see the day when a all Hispanic,all Asian,or all Black company will be forced to hire a certain amount of white people to make it more diverse.

Doesn't make you right still. Diversity is embracing all cultures and recognizing that all people are important. There is nothing weakening about that, it is a strengthening attribute.

I really couldn't care less who rules the country, the majority or a minority. As far as the most qualified person for the job, someone who makes laws like no smoking in public is not the most qualified. A person that can fix problems, grow the economy, make possible the advancement of sciences, have the ability to have a great understanding of issues in other countries, and improve the overall quality of life are qualities I think would make the most qualified for president. Governors and mayors are the people who should worry about the little stuff.

The polls are affected by the racists in this country that is for sure so to say he is failing is a bit of an exaggeration. Ya know. I asked, quite politely, that people put a little more thought into their posts than it takes to just break out the " they're all racists " card. But you just couldn't manage it. Race is such a talking point for you that you just couldn't possibly form a thought without having to throw that in. Even with just the black vote and the Hispanic vote Obama could not have got into office. So there are plenty of white folks who voted for him. In no way did I indicate otherwise. I have been watching him as I have done each president that I have voted for before and like all of them I have moments where I feel he is excellent and other times when I am disappointed. Over all he is doing good and I will vote for him again. I will always look past race when voting. I will never look past being too far right. But too far left doesn't seem to bother you in the slightest. How about voting for someone who has the best interest of EVERYONE in mind?? That couldn't possibly work, could it?

There is one thing about diversity that is weakening this country; when a minority program helps a less qualified minority get a position over a more qualified individual.

Sorry if the idea of racists in this country doesn't sit well with you but they are here and they do effect things like polls. So you will just have to take the fact that some of us will mention racism and it's effects on this country. I do not like the party that runs on faux freedom, so the extreme right is not a good thing for me. I always vote for the person who has the best interest of most everyone every time I vote. I say "most everyone" because there will always be some folks who think they are not represented.

That is the rhetoric but the rhetoric there is kinda racist too. It assumes that a minority is always less qualified. That isn't cool.

Governors and mayors are the people who should worry about the little stuff. First you are saying the majority is oppressing the minority now you are saying it doesn't matter.Obama wasn't the most experienced or the most qualified for the job by a long shot.He was probably the most inexperienced President we ever had.He has no military service,had never held a position as a Governor or a Mayor,never really had a real job,never owned a business,and had a few years as a Senator. McCain spent 22 years in the military Was in the United States House of Representatives for 4 years and in the US Senate from 1987 till now(23 years). He is the 19th Senator in Seniority. McCain also has a long grocery list of qualifications that would bury Obamas puny record.So you are wrong is saying that Obama was the most qualified when cleary he wasn't. This whole election was based on skin color and nothing more.People voted for Obama because he was black.If Obama would have been a white male preaching change nobody would have gave 2 cents or his lack of experience.

I am also going to call the usual bluff on the usual posters who are saying they vote for the best person when we all know it will be a cold day in Hell when they vote for a Republican or a Conservative.

Dragoness Joined Wed 10/17/07 Posts: 23320	Tue 06/08/10 10:37 PM
I already said I won't vote for the extreme right. No bluff happening here. I know that the extreme right candidate is not the best candidate for the job.
