Electing a Jewish or black President

Sure its possible that a Jew or African-American, or even a woman might be elected to our highest office. Joe Lieberman made a run for the Presidency. He was defeated early on, but not, I think, on grounds of his religious/ethnic background. Colin Powell remains a potential candidate for the Republican Party, and if he were to run I believe he probably would win. Ms. Rice is both black and the Secretary of State, an Office that has in the past been a stepping stone to the the Presidency. The Democrats may run Hillary Clinton for President, but I don't believe she could win a national election because of her radical left politics, not because of her sex.

The Democrats accused President Harding (R) of having black ancestors (not true), but he won the Presidency handily. During hotly contested elections there doesn't seem to be any real limitation to the slander and libel cast about.

I think if Colin Powell ran, he would have a good chance.

I remember him saying he wasnt' interested in that.

That's too bad. It's almost like even though he might not be interested personally, he could have such a tremendous impact on the future. Like sacrificing his individual wants to further the advancement of AM's, as well as Americans as a whole.

I'm not very well versed in politics, that's just my 2 cents.

Hillary does not have "radical left politics".

She is a moderate and an opportunist. I wouldn't vote for her because of her conservative position on many issues.

You mean the ones she fakes to fool people into thinking she is a moderate?

I believe your vice-president has Jewish descent.

And I wouldn't vote for her because she's too liberal and too tin hat.

Unless she's up against a fundy Christian and then I'm hosed.

Let's be honest. This is a country full of yokels who chose a phony "wartime" president over an actual war hero. There's no way Clem Redneck or Sally Ku Klux living in some godforsaken flyover state are ever going to vote for somebody they perceive as too beneath them.

I can't speak for Clem or Sally, but in my own Godforsaken state, we have the best record of voting for the presidential winner..in the last century anyway.

But, I know what you meant.

If Hillary is "radical left" then I guess I live in a continent full of raging commies, cause she would rank as a boring centrist (as well as nauseous opportunist) throughout Europe..

Aside from the KKK, you'd be surprised how many would be very willing to support a Jew. Consider those yokels who are Jeebus freaks. They are all hoping the world will end with their ridiculous apocalyptic BS final battle between "good" and "evil" wherein the "chosen" people, led by Jeebus, would be the spearhead.

Running a Jewish candidate would be moot anyway. The US government is already in bed with AIPAC and no presidential candidate ever gets elected without their blessing.

We do so, I've learnt.
