Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 11:35 PM by Skittles
GOOD GAWD YOU WOULD THINK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

(on edit - people, don't miss the gist here - I'm not asking a question, I'm questioning WHY women and minorities are treated like we are a DIFFERENT SPECIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

11. Maxine is AWESOME
Talk about a dream candidate. A REAL progressive like Edwards, a great orator like Obama, and the same anatomy as Hillary without the DLC tattoo on her butt. :)

20. I'd love to see Maxine Walters in Pelosi's spot.
She'd have the repubs in the house curled up in fetal positions by the time she's through with them.

3. Can't happen.
She's never been first lady. No "experience".

19. You do know we'd be getting a third minority with Latifah as well, right?
It's well known she's a lesbian.

14. How about a president who will take on the corporate interests?
I really don't care too much what color or sex the next president is. Who is the best qualified to do the job that I want done?

If Edwards wins the Democratic nomination, I believe America is ready to take on the corporate interests. ;-)

16. I don't think you are, it's all about strategy
Obviously there has to be some racism and sexism out there, but my personal suspicion is that when people say something like that, they're trying to scare you into not voting your choice!

Vote your choice, if somebody else wants to be racist or sexist, let them, but honestly, what kind of racist or sexist would come onto this site for the sole purpose of declaring their racism or sexism?

Not likely

Also, the complaints about sexism or racism, Same thing! Vote your choice!

18. The idea of voting for either is akin to voting for an alien to backward people.
This country is filled with backward people.
