I do not know these two personally, but disagree with them on ISSUES.
I feel they would BOTH raise taxes, they BOTH would appoint Supreme Court Justices with views different than my view for America , and they BOTH want socialized medicine.
Do these disagreements make me a racist, sexist, homophobe, or all of the above??
Thank You.

Actually, I think they make you intelligent.
I'm probably in the minority around here though.

No you are not racist or sexist to disagree with them based on the issues....if you disagree solely because he is black or she is a woman then yes..but if you have real reason then no you are not.
They both probably would raise taxes, I am not saying good or bad but with the huge deficit this might be the only way to go...but I don't know.
They both might appoint Supreme Court judges with different views...well that may be case but that is how it goes..I hate Bush and don't agree with who he put on but them's the breaks.
They both will socialize medicine..maybe maybe not I dunno and I do not support socialized medicine anymore that I support the right's monopolistic approach to medicine.
By your disagreement it makes you an individual..nothing more or less...it does NOT make you a racist or sexist...I don't know enough about your views to know if you are a homophobe

It makes you a little unrealistic, and it would seem you support views that could be interpreted as racist or sexist and homophobic and since neither of them wants socialized medicine you might want to do more research on the topic.
Its unrealistic because taxes will have to go up to meet our obligations due to the war, we have been fighting on credit authorized by Bush to become due and payable after he leaves office. Neat trick, wish I could do it.
Since the current Supreme Court has recently ruled against so many issues that women, homosexual, and minorities see as beneficial to them, like wage differencials and overtime for home healthcare workers, not just the things one usually thinks of, it stands to reason it might seem like you aren't interested in their problems. It is your right to have a different view. Its my right not to approve of the recent views the court has and to hope that it changes.
Universal coverage isn't socialized medicine, and we need to understand that as one of the richest societys the world has ever seen, we cannot afford to have health care become unaffordable, which it has become for some 47 million and growing people with businesses dropping health insurance with alarming speed. It could even be argued that health insurance costs are infringing on businesses right to make a profit. I have yet to hear a usable idea from the opposition on what to do about this problem.
Again you may certainly disagree with them on the issues, but understand that there are reasons why people support them, just as there are for you to support whomever it is you do end up voting for.

It's one thing to disagree with their stance on issues. It's quite another to call names based on their ethnicity or sex. Many times, when people espouse about their hatred of Hillary or Obama they throw in sexist or racist remarks.
So, in answer to your question, no the statements you made does not make you racist or sexist. You simply stated your disagreement with the issues.

it's in the same vein as people who think you're anti-american based upon your views on the war or immigration.
it's possible that you support laws that are racist. if, for example, you were upset with the supreme court's ruling that inter-racial marriage is a fundamental right, i would have no problem calling you a racist. if you were to support a supreme court justice against that ruling, i would feel the same way.
of course, it's not likely.
so i don't think not supporting obama or clinton is racist. but i do think supporting tom tancredo is.

African-Americans label anyone who does not support nyone with some At-Am. blood in him as a racist . He might have the brain of a pissant , but if he's black- - - he's the best. If you disagree , you're a racist .
Same goes for Hillary she's female . No matter what she says or does , if you don't like it, you're sexist .

No, they don't. Anyone who claims such a thing is thought-impaired. You disagree with their views, plans and ideas, not with their identities. Don't listen to rhetoric from the far-left or far-right.

It's thought control utilized by the liberals to eliminate dissent. Read "The New Thought Police" by Tammy Bruce. She explains it all.
By the way- Tammy is a self-described lesbian and former director of the L.A. chapter of NOW.

Obama has no experience. Every time he speaks he shows it. He wants to invade Pakistan, a Muslim nation that is armed with nuclear missiles.
As for Hillary, she has already been President for eight years. Everything she made collapsed and turned to crap. From healthcare, to government shutdowns, to emboldening terrorists, to raising taxes, to illegal campaign contributions, to Whitewater. . . Hillary is bad news.
Nothing sexist or racist about any of the above.

I disagree with Hillary because of her socialist values. I disagree with both of them because of their inexperience. Hussein Obama puts his foot in his mouth every other day!
