While it is still early I'll stick with John McCain for Pres.
Why would you abandon your generally ridiculous political views and support what looks like a good candidate? Are you feeling ill?

In the Tawana Brawley case, a 15-year-old black girl was found smeared with feces, lying in a garbage bag, her clothing torn and burned and with various slurs and epithets written on her body in charcoal. Brawley claimed that she had been assaulted and raped by six white men, some of them police officers, on November 28, 1987, in the town of Wappingers Falls, New York.
When a rape exam came back inconclusive, she revised her accusation, saying that she had not been raped, but had been sexually abused. Further examinations revealed that Brawley had received no real injuries, showed no signs of exposure and Testimony from her schoolmates indicated that she had been at a local party during the time of her supposed abduction.

Al Sharpton became the de-facto representative for the Cato family speaking at the funeral and leading marchers shouting "No Justice No Peace".
Caribbean-American and African-American residents of the neighborhood rioted for four consecutive days fueled by rumors that the private ambulance had refused to treat Cato and his cousin who were left still trapped underneath the vehicle. [15] A visiting rabbinical student from Australia by the name of Yankel Rosenbaum, 29 years old, was killed during the rioting by a mob shouting "Kill the Jew". [16]
Sharpton did not start the riots but his rhetoric was criticized [17] as inflammatory and unhelpful in easing the tension between the black and Jewish communities.
#Reprioritizing the War on Drugs to focus less on mandatory minimum sentences for drug users (which he views as racially biased)
#Giving reparations to descendants of black slaves
#increasing federal funding for lower-level public education and providing free community college to all [I wonder who's going to pay for the 'free' college education....oh yeah the people he hates so much]
#reversing Reaganomics-inspired tax cuts for the richest ten percent of Americans and using the money to finance social welfare programs [Although it's noble, it will never works in practice...look at all the women having babies at 14 years old for instance]
He said that the elections in the United States are each run with different standards by different states with partisan tricks, racial bias, and widespread incompetence and are an open scandal.

Jackson suggested that the Ohio voting machines were "rigged" and that some African-Americans were forced to stand in line for six hours in the rain before voting. When asked for evidence, Jackson did not give facts, but replied, "Based on distrusting the system, lack of paper trails, the anomaly of the exit polls."

I'd bet his views are far more in line with mine then yours.
The heat is getting to me lately. But I've been an admirer of him for years now. Probably far less than you've been ill in the head.
I'll take this "what looks like a good candidate?" as a sign perhaps of you starting the long road to recovery.
For a party who claims to oh so tolerant they really do play the race card lot. Like this Barack fellow. They'll milk the fact that he black for all it's worth. Of course Condi and Colin didn't receive such fanfare. Maybe because it didn't fit in their portrail of Republicans as a "white racist party"
But democrats have for a long time now sucked up to minorities. Be they black people or whoever. Hell they even suck up to tyrants, criminals and your average sickos.
So if you want an advantage for your ilk you vote democrat. Of course that just leads to more divisiveness amongst groups. Exactly what democrats proclaim to stand against.
Then they wonder why they are called hypocrites.
lol. I bow to your superior knowledge of right wing politics... not.
Have you figured out the difference between liberal and libertarian yet? McCain is a Libertarian. I've admired his stance against the "interest groups" that have taken over US politics, as well as his attitude to pork barrel politics for a while now. He may be a Republican, but he's not a corrupt crypto-fascist like the current Bush regime.
IamCanadian;788846[U said:]Barak will not be elected[/U]. Debating about him is a waste of time.
Hillary Clinton will be the man.
The Clinton dynasty will continue.
Yeah, even the tons of limitless propaganderis not gonna be enough for him to win.
It's interesting to get peoples views on him.![]()
You are a pessemist aren't you. I don't think she'll win.
NEVER![]()
Maybe because being black and female is traditionally most likely to restrict your opportunities. I suspect we'd find that in the US being poor, black and female puts you right at the bottom of the ladder. If she preceives a need to assist a particular group, then there is no reason she should not do it.edit: ok i'm aware of the demographics of SA and that's a bit harsh, but what about underprivileged boys who could benefit, why only girls?
They should have run the chimp against him.Reagan was an actor and many would argue he was one of the better recent presidents.
He does not need to provide any. Either someone who accuses her of being racist can prove it or they can't.Where is your proof that she isn't?
They should have run the chimp against him.
Don't worry alanf85 - he was talking about the chimp that starred alongside Reagan. It wasn't a reference to GW.
