MoogleViper Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 ... what? You're likening the election of an African-American US president to the slaughter of 8 million people? No I was just saying that just because it's historic it doesn't mean that it will be a good thing. You hear a lot of American's sayng that they should have a black president or a female president. It doesn't matter what colour/gender they are it's to do with policies.
Haver Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Let's not talk about politics on the internet. New rule.
Bren Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Hmm, I think you just proved the link between cannabis and a decline in mental function. ai probly, but im high, its good, and no one likes a smart ass.
Dan_Dare Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 NIt doesn't matter what colour/gender they are it's to do with policies. Are you saying he won't get a race vote? of course he will!
Jamba Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Not so much won't more shouldn't I think is what he's trying to say.
BlueStar Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I'm sure John McCain will get the race vote if he's up against a black guy as well.
Dan_Dare Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Not so much won't more shouldn't I think is what he's trying to say. I dunno- if I was a black guy in America, and I was gonna vote, I'd probably vote for the first black man to run for office. The democrats tend to have the black vote anyway, what with the republicans basically fucknig the poor in the eye all the time, not to mention New Orleans.
MoogleViper Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Are you saying he won't get a race vote? of course he will! Not so much won't more shouldn't I think is what he's trying to say. Yeah that's what I meant. Also Hilary Clinton shouldn't get a gender vote. But she is likely to.
Monopolyman Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Although Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are the clear favorites right now on the democrat side, don't count Al Gore out yet! He's been having quite some good publicity lately, especially with that movie...So if he decided to run, he would definitely have a great chance of winning. Yeah, I agree. I wouldn't be too surprised if he got Dem candidate. He seems to me to be a bit more focused & experienced, and like you said, he might get the pity vote from the 2000 election and because he's really popular after his little documentry. The only thing against him really is his age. As for the Republican candidacy (which I thought I might aswell bring up), I'm not too sure who will get the candidacy myself. I can't see McCain getting it myself. He's too old IMO.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah that's what I meant. Also Hilary Clinton shouldn't get a gender vote. But she is likely to. If that's the case, they may as well not even bother with interviews, campaigns, pledges and stuff, if that's the way people are going to vote.
MoogleViper Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 If that's the case, they may as well not even bother with interviews, campaigns, pledges and stuff, if that's the way people are going to vote. I didn't say it was the way everybody was going to vote or that race and gender will be the sole reason people vote for them. But I bet that it will have a lot of sway.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I didn't say it was the way everybody was going to vote or that race and gender will be the sole reason people vote for them. But I bet that it will have a lot of sway. I wasn't having a go or anything, just saying that if that was if that was the way things happened, then they shouldn't bother with campaigns, etc. I do agree, though. There's too much of an issue being bought up about "her being the first female president" or "him being the first black president." I thought everyone was all for equality now. It shouldn't matter if a candidate is a black person, a white female, or whatever. It should be an equal playing field.
