This is a fail. We voted for Clinton,Gore and Kerry. All white males.

Good luck.

Mitt Romney is a minority - he is a Mormon.

I wonder how funny it would be if one of the swing states went to a third party. It would be amazing at the collective sh*t that would be lost if this occurred.

Let me know if you like Ms. Goodman.

"As President Obama and Mitt Romney squared off for the first time on Wednesday night, Democracy Now! broke the sound barrier by pausing Obama and Romney’s answers to get real-time responses from candidates Jill Stein of the Green Party and Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party. Stein and Anderson joined Democracy Now! for a live special just miles away from the Obama-Romney contest at the University of Denver. Many Obama supporters have expressed surprise that Romney was able to put the president on the defensive, while Obama failed to mention several of Romney’s potential weak spots, including including his record at the private equity firm Bain Capital, his vast personal wealth and offshore investments, and his recent remark that 47 percent of Americans are government dependents. Today, highlights from our "Expanding the Debate" special with the voices of all four candidates, showcasing the broadened perspectives on the critical issues beyond the Democratic-Republican political spectrum."

So now I have to wonder how does this same attitude play out in everyday life? if these men will not support anyone but their own race then should minorities be the same way? I knew there was plenty of racism in the GOP but now I have to wonder is it just the GOP and the tea party or is it much wider and deeper than that?

That the affirmative action gravy train is over.

Don't count on it from my state. But if it were to happen, it could very well serve as a wake up call to the majority of these empty suits in Washington that they work for us the American people! Not themselves, nor their corporate cronies!
