Female, black, gay - and all Republicans

MANCHESTER (New Hampshire) - WHAT do you get when you put a black man, two women, and a gay person in a room? Surprise answer: about half of today's crop of Republican presidential hopefuls.

The party of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush or John McCain has long been associated with elderly, white, male leaders and also a voting core depending heavily on white men.

But that truism has imploded ahead of the November 2012 battle against President Barack Obama, with a veritable rainbow of candidates vying for the Republican nomination.

The most visible shake up is in the gender department where Congressman Michele Bachmann and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin - both of them fiery Tea Party figures - are putting men on notice.

Neither has declared formally but Ms Bachmann was taking part in a seven-way candidate debate on Monday in the key primary battleground of New Hampshire, while Mrs Palin has been driving around the region in a bus, talking up her patriotism.

There has never been a female US president. Hillary Clinton, now secretary of state, came closest when she narrowly lost to Mr Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries. -- AFP

The talk of GOPs being against diversity is obviously untrue...

This year they are representing:

"Say it loud, Im black and Im proud"
"I am Woman, hear me roar"
and choosing to "Taste the Rainbow"

The only thing missing is the illegal/hispanic voters that helped the last GOP presidential victory

who is the gay person?

I'm guessing Bachmann...
The five kids are her beard.

it's been the same people all along stirring shit about race, sexual preference and religion

How bout we judge a person's qualifications on his or her adherence to the Constitution, and proven economic theory (hayekian) as opposed to gender or ethnicity.

That's why so many people were wrong to proudly state: "See, I'm not a racist; I voted for a black man." (1/2 white incidently)

"He might have been an incompetent, Communist, community organizer, but I feel proud being part of history, despite his ruining of our country."

My God.......

 

The OP is a Racist!

KOAJ,Fred Karger,is the first openly gay presidential candidate, but he was not invited to the debate...

But that doesn't matter if your intent is to smear the Republican field with Progressive humor...  

Seems kind of like a bigoted effort by DownLow@36.

Give it a rest with the whining man.. No one is taking a shot at the holy land people

How is this a shot at anyone?

How is this a shot at anyone?

what do you get??? how about 5 X as many rights as me>>>gay person gets a double

How is this a shot at anyone?

Using humans as a data set and subsequently grouping them by skin color, is inherently racist

If you voted for Bama in 08 to prove you aren't racist, then you better vote for someone else in 12 to prove you aren't stoopid

ive seen this before...excellent

If you voted for Bama in 08 to prove you aren't racist, then you better vote for someone else in 12 to prove you aren't stoopid

Just where is this room with the a black man, two women, and a gay person ?

The CNN debates ..had a black man, only had one woman and no gay person....although Jonh King did convert to Judaism to marry Bash ..I haven't heard anything about him being left-handed..

First off, this is not my quote... it is the headline that was meant to stimulate discussion about diversity and obviously it worked...

Second, this is a simple and accurate description...  If we were to make a simple description of Obama or Mccain voters in the last election is that a shot?

Finally, It is also done a in humorous/non serious tone... So the fact that people are getting so upset over something that should really be not taken seriously is interesting...

Have anymore racial shit stirring, misogynist, religion bashing,bigoted,skin color grouping ..humorous/non serious Political jokes in your bag,that you can post ?

you can try to mischaracterize and negatively spin the thread all you want, but it has been up for over 24 hours and with multiple linesmen looking at it which shows that it is not inappropriate by the standards of the site....

So you can stop trying to be a wannabe mod

Slim,
Was this the reason DL was boxed recently.

I haven't seen him around since he was boxed, do you suppose he was limited on how often he could post as a condition of his release?

Ummm...how did you put it? I'll put it like this:

 HAS ANYONE SEEN THE COPY AND PASTE HYPICRIT AROUND HERE LATELY?

Digging real deep eh?
