Be honest, do you think some people prefer a white man for president

just because this is what we have grown accustomed to?

I think so, the feelings of tradition seem to have a great hold on many Americans. Since 99% of Presidents have been white males, this is what many people expect. (Note: this is not how I personally feel about who should be president)

I would have been more than happy with Allen West, Herman Cain or maybe even Elbert Guillory.  I'd rather have any of them than John McCain.

That poster is about as bigoted as anybody I've ever seen.  There are none so blind as them who are DUmmies.

I don't care what color or gender the President is, as long as his/her policies are good for the country.

Why don't they ever look beyond skin-colour?

Every conservative, indeed every sane person, I've ever met merely wants good, competent, sound government leaders...Obama fails on those grounds rather than his being half black.

Not being obsessed with race is racist.  At least that's what I've learned from the clowns at DU this month.

There used to be 4 classes of people in the south.....

1-White folks.
2-Colored folks.
3-That word that can't be used.
4-Poor white trash.

Obama is from class 3 and Hillary is from class 4......and nobody had any use for class 4.

I prefer a non-Marxist, thank you very much.  No Democrat qualifies.

Pretty simple, isn't it?

I would have been more than happy with Allen West, Herman Cain

In a heartbeat...

Zell Miller is a DINO, and comparing him to any of today's crop of dims is like comparing Ronald Reagan to Joseph Stalin.

Because that would require real THOUGHT.  

Stupid people need easy concepts, no matter how inapplicable.

I'd have been perfectly happy with Condoleeza Rice, of course that isn't a "Black man" - even if she is twice the man that Obozo is.

I'm sure some do, but I'm also sure some people prefer a black man for president, because that's the only reason they voted for Obama. It sure as hell wasn't because he was qualified.

Exactly my point about all Dems being marxist

I like anyone who is conservative and loves America. I think Allen West or Nikki Haley run for President.

I prefer a competent person who loves this Country and puts it's interests ahead of all other special interests.

Hmm...seems to me that the Maalox primitive is:

Not being obsessed with race is racist.  At least that's what I've learned from the clowns at DU this month.

I think that the DUmmy rule, roughly speaking, is as follows.

1 - if you're a liberal then you're not racist
2 - if you're a conservative/republican and you take race into account, then you're racist for taking race into account
3 - if you're a conservative/republican and you ignore race, then you're racist for ignoring race

This, naturally, simplifies to
1 - if you're a liberal then you're not racist
2 - if you're a conservative/republican then you are racist

I'd vote for Allen West without a moment's hesitation.

Me too..I so wanted him to run last time too.  My current ideal match-up would be a West/Cruz ticket.  

Then there are the cabinet positions;   :-)

Considering the job done on West by the crooked FL dems and the RNC, it might more likely be a Cruz/West ticket.  Unfortunately neither current national party would permit that.
