I even got a nice letter last fall from Reince Priebus asking for more. Apparently he hadn't gotten the word that I'm voting (and supporting) Democrats these days.

The GOP left me behind way back there somewhere and they're continuing to accelerate in the wrong direction.

Enjoy your shrinking support, buttheads.

You miss the point of the thread. Its not important to me, im not even american. The importance lies with the soon to be majority of non-white people who will not vote for a white person. We've already seen, with whites still in the majority (particularly above voting age), a non-white president can be elected, I just wanted to see how many people believe a white could be elected in a non-white majority country. I know of no country where such a thing has happened.

Who cares about the president's ethnicity?
This should not even enter the equation when choosing a leader.

It needs to be discussed. When 93% of a nations minorities will not vote for a white, It cant be long till serious unrest results, sadly.

Well, it did take a long time (about 200 years) for a high percentage of whites to vote for a person of color....

"serious unrest" can be a good thing.....think about 18th century America

This isn't a Liberal viewpoint. It is an individuals opinion. I don't have enough experience with the o.p. to know their personal ideology but it doesn't strike me as particularly liberal given the present topic.
