America's fear and ignorance of different people is at the root of the nightmare in Iraq and the perplexing reelection of the man that brought us there.
Obama could be the answer...

I wish people would stop thinking in terms of race - either in "good" ways or "bad" ones. It's stupid and we have to move past it.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -

I wonder if you can really say that about the US though arbitarily, in comparison to many many other nations we are far more diverse. I mean look at NYC; LA; San Francisco; Seattle; Atlanta; Miami it's a hodge podge of different sounds, tastes, cultures from all over the world. I know there are people in the US who are completely for thier own particular race; culture; dogma but to say arbitrarily that the nation is simply ignorant and devoid of culture...I think you're incorrect. It's probably as diverse as any other nation on the planet. Maybe not in every region, but parts of the US are very very culturally diverse and Unique.
I know I'd vote for a canidate regardless of sex or race or creed if I felt they fit the job. I can only speak for myself.
I'm generally distrusting of anyone who truely desires that much power.My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.0 -

Again a thread where you fixate on race. I don't think a person of color is some magic elixer to fix our problems. I'd take someone who was interested in preserving my liberties and controlling spending. I don't care what color or gender they are."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please."

Just look at the most recent Amazing Race. It was the so called "redneck hick" miner and wife from the hills of Kentucky who embraced every culture they came across and seemingly didn't adopt an ethnocentric point of view.“One good thing about music,
when it hits you, you feel to pain.
So brutalize me with music.”

I think we need a president who comes from the working class above anything else.0

I agree. Fear and ignorance of different races, cultures, etc. exists all over the world. Americans just have to deal with it on a daily basis, so it gets brought up a lot.0 -

Clinton grew up with his mother and stepfather who owned his own car dealership. Clinton also went to college, and got all kinds of scolarships. He was teaching law before he was 30.
He doesn't come from the working class. His parents do.0 -

I really disliked...ok...hated...most of what Bill CLinton was.
But to read what you just said about him, certainly makes him someone from the middle class that earned his way up in the world through hard work (and lying)

Working class is people who grow up poor, don't typically get a real opportunity to go to college, and have to learn how to make it on their own without a college degree. They typically work 2 or 3 shitty jobs, and understand the hardships that most of the population goes through.
Clinton is middle-class like someone pointed out before.0 -

If the rich aren't the 'working class' and the middle class isn't the 'working class' and the poor on welfare aren't the 'working class'..just how many people fit into your 'working class'? 4?hippiemom = goodness0
