Race And Gender Are Political Ploys Within This Presidential Election.
We think that people should be treated as people regardless of their sex/race that sex and race is irrelevant in today's society. These are two issues that you have no control over. Agree if you think that politics should not be based off sex/race disagree if you think that politics should strive to uphold the status quo.

Race/age/sex doesn't matter its about who will fix the problems and make America a better place .

Yes, I like Obama but I'm not to sure why or what his policies are. As for Palin people seemed to have just be blown away by her just because she's a young woman (McCains only using her to get votes) , is no one listening to the rubbish she comes out with.

Race/sex has no place in politics although we have definitely seen our share of it. Yes there was a lot of hype around Obama because he is black but their is even more hype around this Sarah Palin person because she is a woman! Well I am black & I am a woman, I vote for Obama because I like his views & what he stands for...REAL CHANGE!, before I went with Obama I was a big Hillary supporter, not because she was a woman but because I like her a whole lot , very familiar with what she brings & like what she stands for! In the end, it was Obama who stole my heart! Sarah, I don't care for and it has nothing to do with her being a woman but has everything to do with knowing that her being selected was to attempt to steal Hillary supporters from Obama! This is not a game, this is real life and I don't want anyone playing games with my life or the lives of my family and to me McShame & Failin Palin are playing a game instead of trying to bring our country back to its feet!

As long as we make them an issue they will continue to be an issue. Maybe if I repeat that enough on this site people will start to get it? Nah!

Indeed, why is Obama so exciting for the Democrats? Because he's black (or at least, closer than most). Why was Sarah Palin chosen? Because she is young, and female.

 The democrats tend to be the least educated people in politics, and are easily swayed by greasy slick talkers (depth of substance the integrity are sorely lacking in Obama's speeches) and yes his biggest followers are blacks that are turning out in numbers as never before. I hope they can figure out how to vote.....remember the hanging chad thing. If I was black I'd still be insulted about that one, see uneducated.

I want to say that every person bases their decision for a candidate solely on the issues but I would be lying to you. Appearances are the first things that people see, and if they cannot get past Sen. Obama being black, Sen. Clinton being female, or Sen. McCain being old, then you won't listen to half as much as you should from those candidates. To think how far we as a people have come, and yet we still falter at the most inconsequential things...truly sad.

Absolutely. How many times have we heard about Obama's race and age, Hillary's gender, and McCain's age. None of these things matter when it comes to who is the best leader for the time. It's all a bunch of bullshyit.

I, am against him.For the simple fact he is for abortion, gay rights, and, he plans on raising on taxes. He is a librel guys.No, I am not racist.yes, I am too young to vote, but, I, know what is right. I care about if our lives will change for us. I don't want a democrat for president for the next 4 years though. And i think that people should have a chance in life. Hate me,i don't care. But Mccain is who I am for.he is a Republican:]

 "he is for abortion"
how is that bad?
" gay rights"
and that?
"he plans on raising on taxes" Yes and what do taxes do? They improve our schools and public buildings.

"He is a librel guys"
And your point is?
que es tu idea?


"know what is right"
Right and wrong are opinions. To you it may be right to increase the worlds population. Maybe to me its right to knock off a few billion to make the world more stable. You know whats right in your opinion.

"I dont want a democrat for president for the next 4 years though."
Why may i ask?

"And i think that people should have a chance in life." I fail to see any point you made here. Im guessing it either has to do with abortion or people not having to pay as much for taxes. If abortion: So basically what your is that we should allow a creature ,that is techinically unaware that its alive and would just cause greater stress on the worlds ecosystem, to destroy the lifes of a human who has every idea of what life is like.

"he is a Republican:]"
Again
que es tu idea
