08-bama

[cowhead]

yeah, that's kinda been bothering me.. I mean the election is oh.. more than a year and 1/2 away isn't it? and boiling it down to just those two seems awfully limiting. and aside from that I really don't think that america in general is ready for either a female or african descendent to hold the presidency... VP? sure. I just don't see it happening yet.

Just in mentioning this to my mother the other day, about Obama possibly running for President in '08,

my mother says,"He's in with those people who bombed the towers."

"Mom, you mean he's muslim?"

"YES!"

Now I never vote, because I am a pessimist, and I believe all people in government lie...but my mother and her ilk, they vote like it's their religion....

Good Luck

Welcome down to the Cellar, libragirl213.
What you're describing is how this country got where we are today. The informed can't be bothered to vote and the extremists can't be stopped from voting.

The other thing that bothers me is they feel campaigning is more important than the business at hand in Washington.
And if the do find time to do a little of the goddamn work, we elected and are paying them to do, nothing they do or say stands on merit. Any statement they make is vilified or praised, depending on political strategy.
It's like trying to be a butcher and promote PETA at the same time.

You mean white America right? Because I'm sure black America is more than ready for a president with African descent.


I don't see how religion is important. I still find it sad that a Muslim or Atheist could never be president for the next twenty or so years.
