Wars/recessions come and go, but history is forever
I think I understand the logic of some Hillary "Democrats" who are using idiotic excuses to abstain from voting for Obama and/or voting for McCain. You see, it's not as if they like wars or economic recessions, but they have faith that eventually, we will pull out of Iraq and the capitalist business cycle will right the economy once again. But should Obama become president, it will forever be inked in the history books that American chose a black president over a white female one, and this will be an unchangeable fact. These Hillary Democrats are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure the racial hierarchy remains intact in American society. A black president should happen, but definitely not before a white female one, and in order to maintain that vanity, thousands of lives, jobs, and liberal landmark Supreme Court rulings can fall to the wayside.

Discuss.

1. It's just primary trash talk. Only an insignificant number will follow through.

You're portraying it as if it's their platform.

And yes, they are Democrats.

2. A misperception, IMO.
The vast majority of those who swear they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination don't give a crap about Hillary - they just don't want the black guy. If it was a white guy running against Hillary, they'd be voting for him. Or McCain.
