Being a Senator may carry higher status; but running a city requires making decisions, that no Senator has to make. It's like being the CEO of a large corporation.
I said higher up the food chain, I see you missed the nuance. But don't go bashing Senators, unless you do not like Cruz and Rubio either

Either of these cases, my vote is, as am I, racist.

So if an African American votes ONLY on skin color, that person is racist, no matter his or her color.
So all African Americans that voted ONLY based on his skin color, are in fact, themselves, racist.

Racism comes in all colors... It's not just 'whitey'... so I'm sure if Casper in Dallas knows everybody here, they also know some Dems that would never vote for a white candidate either... uh?

Oh, wait... I forgot about those dang double standards... man, they get me all the time..... <-sarcasm
I never claimed otherwise, see what happens when you ASSUME, Tumf, you end up with egg all over your face. Enjoy.
Good to know you at least admit what you are, most try to claim they are nothing of the sort even after proving otherwise time and time again.

You probably also believe that Bill Ayers was "just some guy in the neighborhood," because Obama said so.

Oh, well excuse me. He was Illinois State Senator. Big deal. Prior to that, Obama held no other offices. He had been a "Community Organizer." Whoopee do! He assisted in pressuring banks to make those low interest, no-qual loans in poor neighborhoods, that resulted in the 2008 housing crisis! He was part of the problem. Still is!

Mia Love had been a Mayor of a city. Far bigger responsibility than Sate Senatory.
Wwll I can't argue with you here, there seems to be too much nonsense in this single post that you believe in....do you still believe Obama was born in Kenya?

Based on this post, I think you have no idea what a state senator does. Maybe you should take a field trip to your state's capital and see first hand what they do.

Yeah, that's why so many conservatives wish Condi Rice would run against Hillary.

Accomplished? What, pray tell, has Michelle Obama 'accomplished'?

Actually, that's a myth. She and Barry changed to inactive status so as to avoid the requirements of continuing education and paying full fees. They can both practice law if they want to.

Chances are your factual information for the second quote is as good as it was for the first quote. All debunked by *legitimate* sources.

In other words, rehashing false allegations. No matter how many times you repeat lies, they don't magically transform into the truth.

Yes, she does love the perks. Her shirt-tail relatives have certainly gotten our money's worth on all those trips. Then there's Mother Robinson, who's still taking up residence at the WH.
