Not the case....this is the rant that both Obama and Clinton have been using on the campaign trail. Of course both "parties" wish to be considered that....the Republicans with the memories of Reagan and the Dems now trying to create a new JFK.

I guess I just find it amazing that the dems managed to get themselves into this quagmire (LOL) of racism and sexism. Two issues that really should have been their party's taboos, and the republicans downfall, are being played against itself.

Really though, how can anyone say that this contest isn't about race when you have the black vote in the 90%+ range for Obama? What would be said in the press, and "world opinion" if 90%+ of the white voters were going for Clinton? From what I've seen so far, this Dem. primary election hasn't been as much about issues as it has about Obama's skin color. Anyone would have to agree that if it weren't for the black vote being so unproportional, Clinton would probably have the upper hand on Obama right now.

Have a good one!:s4:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . Democrats...Racists and Sexists Oh My! Here's a lil' ditty to discuss: If you say just the wrong thing regarding Obama your a racist....point proven with B. Clinton in S.C. during the primaries. Now H. Clinton and others are talking of the sexism regarding her treatment during this primary race. How, honestly, can a party so divided in so many ways proclaim themselves as the "uniters"? Both of these are hell bent on destroying the other and the way they act with trivial comments, their comments are FAR from being Rating: 5
