No, I'm simply responding to your claim that a white candidate with a resume like Obama's would've been treated differently. The example of John Edwards proves they wouldn't have.

If liberals are insane, never do anything right and are always wrong about everything all the time...if liberals have a secret agenda (either intentional or unintentional) to destroy America...should they be allowed to make any decisions for local, state, or national government?

or we can have a bunch of War happy, bible thumping, wire tapping, giant government moral authoritarians running rampant.

We need voters who get to know the issues - get to know the candidates - communicate with their elected officials - hold their feet to the fire.
This is the response with the most thought put into it.. Thank you!

Unfortunately it is that extreme left wing that is driving the Democratic party at the moment.

When will Democrat moderates get tired of the Jeremiah Wright/Bill Ayers wing of the party?

Not soon, probably.

The radicals on the left engineered the Obama victory by deceit and racial intimidation. (Does anybody doubt that if a white candidate with a thin resume like Obama's had run, he would have been laughed off the stage at the Democratic debates during the primaries instead of being treated as if he brought gravitas to the game?)

The moderates need the radical left to keep them in power.
The Jeremiah Wright/Bill Ayers wing of the party? That's a good one. Who are members of this group?

Sounds like you'd be more at home in some S American country. Democracy ain't for everybody I guess.

No. Absolutely not. We already have a very limited two party system. Paring that down to only one party would be horrendous. I'm a staunch conservative but liberals have done a lot of good for this country.
