Liberals do not say that blacks can't help themselves or that they can't compete.
Yes they do.
Liberals are saying "Out of all the applicants you got that are minorities, we don't believe that *none* of them are qualified for a job, so hire some of those qualified people".
No they don't. They say "Out of all the applicants some are minorities -- PUT THEM AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE AND REQUIRE LESS OF THEM." This isn't an assertion -- this is the specific POLICIES enacted by Liberals. Those SPECIFIC POLICIES are racist on their face -- and support of the ideology behind those policies is thus racist as well.
Bush actually pulls the same stunt, it's just not acknowledged for what it is. He hired Hispanics, blacks, and even homosexuals for high positions. I do believe those are qualified people, but many do take note of what he did.
Please prove that Bush used skin color or sexual orientation as a basis for any of his appointments. He chose the best people for the positions, IRRESPECTIVE of color.
But again, you demonstrate you liberalness by inventing "facts" in the hopes that no one will catch you.
And now, McCain is saying that if we elect him, he'll hire more women for higher office positions. Are we going to assume he'll hire somebody who isn't qualified?
I don't know where he said that -- got a link? And who the hell said McCain is a Conservative? He could run as a Liberal Democrat without changing a single position. It is hust he is better than an untested socialist empty suit full of platitudes whose ONLY qualification is his skin color.
