rant #5892-87.2
i really don't care who you vote for, but if you vote it might as well be for obama. why?? because he is black. seriously. if you think race SHOULDN'T (not "doesn't) matter in an election, then you are also perceptive enough to realize that it absolutely matters for far too many dumb motherfuckers in this country on both sides of the political spectrum. look at standardized testing, any type of government paperwork, taxes, whatever. they make it seem as the color of your skin is as significant an item as your name and your zip code. perhaps this is all in the name of some liberal ideal of racial progressivism (it's not). At any rate we also have an overload of inbred toothless "WHITE POWER" miraclewhiponwonderbread-eating rednecks, and I am just too reasonable of a person to not be pissed off by blind racism. i would just rather have the second generation of said rednecks look at a tv screen and see a black man as the most "powerful" man in the country and think to themselves that maybe their parents are somewhat full of shit...
above all else, a president is an IMAGE, NOT a decision maker...
do YOU think i am full of shit??? if so, let me know!!!

I think I agree with you. Part of me wants Obama to win just so all those ignorant people who think the country will go to hell in a handbasket if a black man with "Hussein" for a middle name is elected are proved wrong.
I think it's important to elect the person who's going to choose the best cabinet and advisers, and in my opinion, that's definitely Obama. My friend interned in DC for Feminist Majority Foundation over the summer and she said Obama met multiple times with the woman in charge to ask her for advice and perspective on feminist issues. I can't really see McCain doing that, and apparently Bush didn't at all, ever.
cheers! thank you for your structured contribution. it is good to see that obama seems to be showing some concern for gender on a macrosociological level.
yeah... yeah, you know what, I agree.
I think you're full of shit...I have some redneck relatives, and they have a few teeth.
