MANCHESTER (New Hampshire) - WHAT do you get when you put a black
man, two women, and a gay person in a room? Surprise answer: about half of
today's crop of Republican presidential hopefuls.
The party of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush or John McCain
has long been associated with elderly, white, male leaders and also a
voting core depending heavily on white men.
But that truism has imploded ahead of the November 2012
battle against President Barack Obama, with a veritable rainbow of
candidates vying for the Republican nomination.
The most visible shake up is in the gender department where
Congressman Michele Bachmann and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin -
both of them fiery Tea Party figures - are putting men on notice.
Neither has declared formally but Ms Bachmann was taking
part in a seven-way candidate debate on Monday in the key primary
battleground of New Hampshire, while Mrs Palin has been driving around
the region in a bus, talking up her patriotism.
There has never been a female US president. Hillary Clinton,
now secretary of state, came closest when she narrowly lost to Mr Obama
in the 2008 Democratic primaries. -- AFP

How bout we judge a person's qualifications on his or her adherence to the Constitution, and proven economic theory (hayekian) as opposed to gender or ethnicity.
That's why so many people were wrong to proudly state: "See, I'm not a racist; I voted for a black man." (1/2 white incidently)
"He might have been an incompetent, Communist, community organizer, but I feel proud being part of history, despite his ruining of our country."
My God.......

Just where is this room with the a black man, two women, and a gay person ?
The CNN debates ..had a black man, only had one woman and no gay person....although Jonh King did convert to Judaism to marry Bash ..I haven't heard anything about him being left-handed..

Using humans as a data set and subsequently grouping them by skin color, is inherently racist
If you voted for Bama in 08 to prove you aren't racist, then you better vote for someone else in 12 to prove you aren't stoopid
First off, this is not my quote... it is the headline that was meant to stimulate discussion about diversity and obviously it worked...
Second, this is a simple and accurate description... If we were to make a simple description of Obama or Mccain voters in the last election is that a shot?
Finally, It is also done a in humorous/non serious tone... So the fact that people are getting so upset over something that should really be not taken seriously is interesting...

you can try to mischaracterize and negatively spin the thread all you want, but it has been up for over 24 hours and with multiple linesmen looking at it which shows that it is not inappropriate by the standards of the site....
So you can stop trying to be a wannabe mod
