I saw someone post an answer about who was going to be president, it was something about how there are still too many racist people in the nation so they will all vote for a caucasian middle aged male. Well, doesn't it have more to do with who is the best canddiate?

So, I might face rebukes if I don't vote for the African-American candidate Obama just for the simple fact that he is an African-American? Or I could be called a sexist if I don't vote for Hillary? Wow, that is not a fair lose-lose situation, now is it?
No, that's not fair at all.
Well, of course. It should be all about who you feel will do the greater good for our nation.

Yeah I've noticed a lot of racial comments on here that to me only confirmed the racist outlook of the poster.
If it is impossible in the posters eyes for a white male to vote for anything other than another white male then that poster definitely has the racist leaning he is accusing me of having.
I have met a number of people that are not my race or gender that I would love to get a chance to check out as candidates.
Many people thought that Fred Thompson would make a wonderful candidate and as I watch I am less and less impressed each day.
It's no longer about the good old boys and it will get more and more that way if we make it that way.

Somebody saying that there are too many racists is not the same as saying that everyone who doesn't vote Obama is racist.
Why do some people think that displaying the reasoning of a 6 year old to twist someone else's point is clever?

So, just because there happens to be a black running for the Presidency, we should all vote for him or we are racist? Well, I don't buy it! Obama is a great politician & seems like a nice man & I could care less about his color but, I happen to like someone else & will vote for them! The race card has been played too many times for me to be impressed or intimidated by it!

To not be a racist will make you a sexist, so vote for the best canidate and be an informed voter.
Oh but that would make you a racist and sexist at the same time.
Which would leave you only rich white men to vote for, just cannot win can you.

Well, as you know from a prior post....some University's have already dubbed us racist based on skin color...not content of the heart....
That being said, since I do not live my life by others opinions, I would never let someone guilt me into voting against my belief system.
I do not feel that either Obama or...gulp...Clinton, is the correct choice for President....
But wrap the minority and the woman together, in one intelligent, competent package...and you have Ms. Rice...
Someone I would be happy to cast my vote in favor of.

I don't know how the middle aged white guy is the victim or the minority, but you should vote with you mind and not your feelings. If people were really smart they'd break down this two partied system, and hear some truly practical ideas and candidates.

If being against that racist makes me a racist then I hold my head up high and I'm proud to be a racist.
