Alabama Democrats: Support Hillary- she will win because she is white
You can’t make this stuff up. The man making the statement is essentially saying a black man cannot be elected, so support the white woman because she will be. I think he meant it essentially as a pragmatic point, but he raised race as a qualifier, so there ya go.
Black Alabama political groups split presidential endorsements
Alabama’s major black political groups have split their endorsements for president, with the Alabama New South Coalition giving its support to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday.
The Alabama Democratic Conference, the black wing of the state Democratic Party, endorsed New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in October.
…
Before the endorsement vote, Perry County Commissioner Albert Turner praised Obama’s qualifications, but urged the group to support Clinton.
“The question you have to put forth to yourself is that whether or not in this racist country a black man named Obama — when we are shooting at Osama — can win the presidency of the United States?” Turner said.
Turner said Clinton is the Democrat most likely to win in November “because of her husband and because of some other things, mainly because she’s white.”
When the Alabama Democratic Conference endorsed Clinton in October, leaders cited long-standing friendships with Clinton and her husband and voiced concerns about whether white voters would support a black Democrat.
So essentially, according to the black strategists in the democrat party, the Democrat party is too racist to elect a black man.
Well, ok, if you insist…

Lying can be an eminently successful strategy, and for the A-rabs, it’s been a dang near propaganda victory.

The BCS Championship game participants have been announced and it will be LSU Tigers vs. The Ohio State Buckeyes. I’m rooting for the Tigers. On to a more personal topic:
……
As a female I must ask myself….how can I support a female who disrespected her home by departing the Capitol and taking away so many physical items, which were not hers to take?
Don’t forget…Hillary lacks integrity. While I’d love to have a female president I can’t support having anyone in office that lacks basic integrity.
