Does race or gender really matter? As Ronald Reagan said back in a 1991 interview with Larry King, what matters most to me is their political ideology, not their race or gender.
Personally, I would never vote for Barak Hussein Obama because he is a socialist liberal. In addition to that, he is a black racial supremacist. He is an active member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Go to that church's website (www.tucc.org), and read what they are about.
Here is a sample of some of the church's founding principles:
"Commitment to the black family... Adherence to the black work ethic... Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community... Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions... Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System... Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System... a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA... A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA..."
Imagine a white candidate, such as Joe Biden, who was an active member of a church with principles like these, only substitute the word "white" everywhere you see the word "black." We could not withstand the deafening outcries of racism that would ensue.
By the way, "diaspora" is a term that refers to the scattering of people from their homeland. Will someone please tell Dr. Jeremiah Wright, this church's pastor, that there is nothing keeping him here if he feels he is homesick for Africa.
As far as Hillary Clinton, I would not vote for her because she is an even bigger socialist liberal than Obama (Remember 'Hillary-care' and "It Takes a Village"?). Furthermore, she is a megalomaniac, and a criminal. Do we really want another Clinton in the White House, and go back to all the scandals, the mysterious suicides and plane crashes (remember the Clinton 'death lists'?)
Finally, I have an interesting way to put this question to rest. Why force ourselves to choose between a black man or a white woman? Instead, how about if we vote in a black woman?
Condoleezza Rice! I guess those of you who say you would not vote for her would be prejudiced against blacks and women, right?
