What a crock! Just because a minority hasn't won the nomination for president yet by the GOP doesn't mean they are racist against them nor does it mean that they will always nominate a white person. As another poster pointed out neither had the Dems elected a minority president prior to 2008. Whites are not 30% of the population. They are well over 50%. Someone in here needs to grab a clue and stop this damned race baiting in here.
I said white men are 30% of the population. White men are actually 31% of the US population.
What's hypocritical of these kinds of posters is that the Democrats hadn't elected a black (and Obama is only partially black) till 2008. Nor have they nominated a woman ever. Hillary might be the first. Why aren't they criticizing the Democrats for that? The GOP did nominate Sarah Palin for VP. To claim that the GOP will never nominate a black or a woman for the presidency is just based on his own racism against whites, bias and apparent hatred of the GOP, nothing more.
Racism against whites? I'm white and I've seen no white racism. I am embarrassed by the GOP though.
I have literally seen numerous posts by Republicans saying "I don't care who our nominee is as long as it's not a woman or a black". The first time I saw it I was shocked. Now, I guess that's the consensus.
LOL! You are basing the eternal nomination likelihood of a party based on a handful of posts on one online forum? Would you care to share some of those posts?

False. She was well known to politically aware people. That you had never heard of her indicates that you don't pay much attention.

Proof? You come across as very conspiratorial. Who are these "Kochs" and what would they have to threaten anyone with? What if these "Kochs" choose Ben Carson? I think that you need to do more thinking and less dreaming.

You are leaving out the rest of what I said. It's easy to say you will only vote for the "right" black or the "right" woman. That black or woman will never come along for Republicans.
Do you have a crystal ball? And if so, do you know how to use it?
You're another one who assumes that all republicans are racist. Apparently, you forget that democrats have their share of racists, too.
Gates? That was a high road? Beer Summit FTW.
Trayvon? "If I had a son", that's the high road?
Brown? Aloof?
My Brother's Keeper is aloof?
No, its his appointee, Eric Holder and the DOJ tossing out accusations at every turn. And, being wrong...at every turn.
I stand corrected ... though I was talking only about Obama pulling the race card for himself and only himself. But You're correct, he's been a huge race baiter and it hasn't helped.
Still, it is true that he's relied on other people to pull the race card in his own defense.

You love making baseless assumptions, don't you?
It's what they do so they can pull the race or gender card. As I said, the Democrats didn't elect a half black man till 2008 either nor have they ever nominated or elected a woman for president yet. The GOP did nominate Sarah Palin though and currently there are a couple of Hispanic candidates in the running for the GOP.
I wouldn't vote for a white person either unless the were the "right" one. In other words I would have to be in agreement with them on the issues or they would be the "wrong" one for me. What a race baiting jerk!
Feel Free to Use It. Oh and please present a candidate that does not scare the bejesus out of most Americans so we are not forced to do the unthinkable.
The same could be asked of the left.. I mean seriously..

John McCain had not even met Sarah Palin until very briefly a few months before he chose her. She was vetted for a total of 40 hours before the announcement.
Sorry, no, no one knew who Sarah Palin was except some inside guys like

The Koch Brothers will never choose Ben Carson. Republicans will never choose Ben Carson.

Thats because 95% of the candidates are white men, (ok I pulled the figure out of my butt to make a point), and when a minority runs on a Republican ticket, Democrats go out in huge numbers to defeat them...
Bunch of racists in the Democratic Party

Judging by your inability to understand why 65% of elected offices are white males, Id be embarassed to be Seacove
