I long for the day that being black, or being a woman, or in a religion, will not be a factor and will not be an issue in who becomes elected into a certain position. Tell me how they are relevant to doing the job.

The President of the United States is the hardest job in the world, the fact that you disagree with Bush is irrelevant, but he couldnt be a "incompetent douchebag" and handle the amount of things the President does on a daily basis.
Waging an unnecessary war for one.
Anyway, I think experience is a very fair prerequisite for earning my vote. However, more time is needed before I actually lean the way of any of the candidates.
Now, if Natalie Portman ran for president, I would do anything in my power to make sure she won, and to make sure that I would be the first ever first man

I honestly think that Hillary has a good chance at getting the White House. I don't think Obama has enough experience.

How about Rudy Giuliani? He seems to be somewhat okay.

They aren't relevant for us but this isn't about what we think but what many Americans think: that is (I presume) they aren't ready for woman or black president this time.

Yeah, some American's aren't. That's why I'm wishing those sort of things won't always win or lose peoples votes. On top of that, I think this sort of brings us down(the united states), in the eyes of the international community, as far as discrimination is concerned. Regardless of other countries and their policies about it, we are contradicting ourselves. But yeah, eventually time will pass and it won't be a big deal.
Things we must all ask ourselves is what makes a candidate worthy of your vote.

Rudy Giuliani is a somewhat better choice, his views on the war and national security are strong, but i dont agree with most of his social issues (gay marriage, abortion, etc..)

If you think that is a valid "argument", I don't know what to say...
Call my logic flawed, but I still think he is an incompetent douchebag. The mere reason I stated it, however, was to respond to Scratchy's ridiculous and irrelevent bashing of John Edwards.
Hopefully that is sarcasm. Here are our "wonderful" choices:
Hilary-Authoritarian democrat who is a carpetbagger and blames violence on video games. That cold, emotionless smile creeps me out every time.
Obama -Personally, my candidate of choice, however will never make it (He's black, has a muslim background, etc...)
McCain-Flip-flopper
And don't get me started on the uber-conservative candidates...
It was my personal opinion. It wasn't intended to be part of the argument. Just an opinion pretaining to the argument. It was not a attempt to change yours. You sure did get defensive. I must've hit a nerve.

Obama is no way in hell winning. A black president in the USA or in Europe will never work. And on top of that muslim...:lol:
Hilary is retarded...woman president? Women don't make decisions, they stay quiet and follow the man. Women can't make hardcore decisions.

Sorry, I was vague. I believe he is a flip-flopper, because one minute he says something that goes AGAINST christian values (he refuses to ban civil unions). The next minute, he tries hard to kiss their arse. I'm just skeptical...
How about Rudy Giuliani? He seems to be somewhat okay.
I'll have to check his stance on issues before I say anything about him. From what I have seen, he isn't a religious nutter...

It didn't strike a nerve, considering this is just a gamingforum.

I don't understand your reason for the man not being president. How does being half part african or musilim effect his decision making? Just because it's never been done before doesn't mean it wouldn't work.
50 years ago it was controversial that a catholic was running for president. They still elected him to office. Maybe you know him, his name was John F. Kennedy.
As for woman being followers and not making the tough decisions, I dare you to say that to the women serving in the miltary. In fact I dare you to try and "feel them up." You'd end up with a broken arm and a very feminine fist in the face.

Sure you have something to back up your rather arrogant and unfound claim? Didn't/haven't Margaret Thatcher, Jean DŽArc, Nancy Pelosi, Condoleezza Rice or Catherine the Great made "hardcore decisions"?
