Yes, there is a white guy running for US President on the Democrat ticket, John Edwards, but he seems to be stuck in 3rd place. I think he would make a great president.
Why are so many English folks obsessed with Obama being black, or Hillary being a woman, or who's white/black, etc? I could care less about someone's gender or race or religion...it's their beliefs and values and positons that I care about. I just don't understand all the labels on this thread.
Paula..you've heard from me on here before...Huckabee is very scary! If you have no problem with your kids learning that there's no such thing as evolution and that the Earth is only about 4,000 years old...well Huckabee's your man.
The other posters are right...he does NOT believe in evolution and wants to initiate the changing of the public school curriculum in the US to reflect his beliefs....he tried to ban the teaching of evolution in Arkansas schools and he will try to do this across the US. (This already happened in Kansas before the school board reversed it's ruling.) He also is against abortion in all instances...even to save the life of the mother or in rape or incest cases.. Again, if you think women should die if they receive bad news during their pregnancy...great...it's your choice, but other women should not have to die because abortion is 100 banned.
I liked McCain, and would have voted for him in the last election, but he's been in too close with Bush so can't vote for him.
I think Obama is inexperienced, but would be okay I guess. Clinton is putdown because she's a woman so much of the time. People just hate a smart, educated woman with balls, and women are usually the most sexist with powerful women. I think they're jealous...some men feel threatened by a powerful woman.
Paula, you are so partisen...I bet that you would never vote for an Independent or a Democrat. That's fine...lots of folks feel that way, but in the US, voting for a republican means that you hate gays and gay rights. That's just the way it is..can't have it both says...the Religious Right has taken over the party. One day this may turn the other way, but they control it now. No way you can run for national office in the US unless you belive in God and Jesus. (Leiberman was a liability and his Jewish faith was constantly mentioned.) Who should care?
Good Republicans must have one, two or all three of the "R's"...Must be very RICH, or very Religious, or very Racist. What one is it for you?
Guys, it's interesting that a thread is going around in the US saying that Obama is Muslim and hates America and that he has terrorist ties..even saying he's not President material because of his name, etc. My Aunt told me yesterday that she would have voted for him, but would not now because he's a Muslim...The hate spreads in the US just like the UK...I tried to tell her to check on snopes.com, but she would hear none of it. If this propaganda continues, it could be the end of him.
The good news is that Bush can't ruin the US anymore...but his brother might run during the next election.
