no, I said that he's getting much more press than Alan Keyes did because he's a democrat, and Keyes was a republican.
But, the thing is, OBAMA is actually LEADING in the DEMOCRATIC party so far.  KEYES, has almost no chance, and to be honest I've hardly heard anything about him.  And you know why?  Because he CANT WIN.  And no, its not because he's black and because he's a Republican, its because he really has no chance.  Not sure why you said what you said, to me it seemed like a cheap way of trying to label the media as liberally biased. 

yes I'm aware of that, I'm not a dope.  Furthermore, you did not argue my statement because you know it's true.  Conservatives are labeled as racists.  Liberals are labeled as compassionate.  I argue that the media has successfully perpetuated this label even though during the last two decades the opposite has been true.
Who the fuck is labelling what?  The most we can do is look at the facts -- is it wrong to argue that the Dems are maybe a bit more culturally advanced, seeing as they have a hispanic, a black, and a woman running?  To be honest I dont know what you thnik I am.  I honestly dont watch any of the CNN or Fox News bullshit, they're neither liberal or conservatively biased.  They're out to make money and to make a mockery of the political system in the USA because, guess what?  They make MONEY.  They're a business.  What a surpise.

You just don't want to look at recent history because you know it's true.  The first hispanic Attorney General: Gonzalez.  the list goes on and on.
I find it funny how you're the one turning this into a racial contest to see who can get the most minorities into office.  Have I ever denied the fact that Gonzalez was the first hispanic attorney general?  No. Did I ever deny Condy was the first black secretary of state?  No.  The only thing we can judge ANYONE by, is the ability to do their job.  And last time I checked, Gonzalez was pretty fucking incompetent.  Now's the part where you go "AHA!  SEE!  LIBERALS ARE RACIST!!"

Liberals are way behind the 8 ball, and the only reason people don't realize this is because the media has a vested interest in perpetuating that.
Please, please, PLEASE.  Get a fucking grip.  I'm dead serious.  Do you even know anything about me?  Anything?  When you respond to me its like you're reciting lines you've memorized. 

You've been owned numerous times before on DST, despite the fact that you never admitted it, even to the point where people siding with you abandoned the cause.  And I don't expect this will go any differently.  But you, sir, are nothing but a political hack.  I know this not because I disagree with what you're saying, but because you're treating me as if I'm some kind of ignorant piece of trash and think that I'm the exact same as every other person who disagrees with you in these forums.

FYI, Genius, I think the poll is stupid as well.  We need a president who can do the job right, whether they are black, white, brown, yellow, male, female, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, whatever.  And the sooner every American realizes that, the better.

Null as well.

I forget that he is black till people say things, its annoying because that shouldn't even be a small reason you vote for him. If you do you are no better then the people who vote Hillary because she is a women or Huckabee because he is a pastor. And there are millions of them, thats the sad part.

No, I hate black people.

Seriously though, it's the green ones you have to worry about.

What about a president constantly in blackface?

This entire topic hinges around one of the biggerst problems this country has to over come.  We shouldn't care about what the candidate is - only about what they can or can not do for our country.  People always play the race and gender cards in the country and it is total BS.  There is a reason it is called history, stop living in the past and start building the future.  Just because there has NEVER been, doesn't mean that has to be the focus.  Who and what makes sence  now is what is important.  Having a black president is not going to solve the race issues in this country any more than having a gay president fix that stigma.  People will not change thier societal views because a Black Woman Lesbian Mexican takes the Oval office.

Spearhead: Alan Keyes was huge in the 2000 primary.

he's not influential anymore, but he had a following 8 years ago.  Just shows how much you know.

I don't think we're going to get anywhere arguing over this.  Conservatives know that Liberals like to nurture a sense of dependency.  Liberals think they're on the forefront of societal evolution.

The truth is, Liberals are on the forefront of societal degredation.

You don't have to be american to be interested in politics though, and these elections are so hyped they get broadcasted nearly everywhere over europe & australia. other than that I think for most this is just a null vote anyway.
That's true, which is why I did not address you.  I just think it's curious that someone half a world away can say that our current president is incompetent when that person knows absolutely nothing about it except what media he has been subjected to.

I personally do not think Bush is at all incompetent.  No more incompetent than his predecessor..
So what you are saying is that America can involve it self in any other courties politics but no one else can get involved in theres?

I would be surprised if America didn't have a black president in the next three terms of office.
I think it could help contribute cutting down racism then again it could go the other way.
What really matters is that person does the best job able and if he/she does, vote them in again.

It's the media's love for liberals that is an issue here.  No one wants to admit that the Republicans have appointed more black people to the supreme court than Democrats, that the republicans had the first black female secretary of state...you get the picture.

The media is perpetuating this idea that republicans are racists.  However, the Democrats are historically the party run by the white male.

this poll is BS.
He has a point here.

Obama isn't the first black candidate, true.  He is a hell of a lot more popular than Alan Keyes.  I find it interesting that you say the media ignored Keyes when he had his own radio show and talk show.  Alan Keyes never really acheived popular support as far as his presidential aspirations, that's why he is but a footnote.  Obama is getting attention because he is seen as a front-runner in a weak field of candidates.

Where is an example of the media portraying Republicans as racists?  They don't make up stories, they report them.  If a person says racist comments, how is it the media's fault?

Both parties historically have been run by 'the white male' - just like our country.  In fact, you could throw in 'WASP' and it would be historically accurate.

The media loves liberals, blah blah blah.  It gets old.
