Should america elect a woman based on sex, or man who is black based on race?

Question

In need of a saviour!

Answer 1

Maybe just to be different this election we will elect someone based upon well reasoned solutions to pressing issues of concern to the majority of Americans with a feasible plan for accomplishing these solutions.

We've done enough electing based upon looks, charm, & general list of unworkable but attractive proposals.

Answer 2

How about this? I KNOW it's a radical concept but hear me out.

How about we elect someone who has a legitimate concern for the country in which they raise their children? How about we elect someone who is actually qualified for the job, instead of someone who is better at slinging mud (as Bush did on MCCain and Kerry) than articulatig a cohesive political plan for the country?

As I said, I KNOW this is radical, but I feel it could work too.

To this end, I would propose an anti-BS campaign in 2008. Whichever candidate uses BS to make his or her opponent look bad, is out of the election, no second chance. It's time to stop holding one party's candidates to a higher standard than the other party's candidates.

A Vietnam deserter who brings up another candidate's ACTUAL military record in a negative way is out of the race, period.
