What about Alan Keyes? He still around?

Still, though, totally agree with the thread ...The Democrats do have the more diverse group of candidates. I've been a lifelong Dumbass-Re-Publican, but I've gotta admit, I'm a little sick of the whole white male leader thing ...(and I am one ...)

Even if that were remotely true, why were there no African-Americans in prominent positions in the Clinton cabinet? And why does he get a pass for that while Bush gets no credit for having them? Do they have to be liberal blacks to count?

[color="#FF0000"][b]What are you talking about...."prominent" ? As I have already said, Bush had Powell
and Rice as Secretary of State. Some believe that if Ron Brown had not died in a plane
crash in 1996, Clinton may promoted him to that position instead of Albright. [/b][/color]

[b]The only example you needed was the State of the Union last night ....

one side of the chamber had white, women, blacks, latinos, jews, hell a Muslim congressman .... and the other side mostly had all old white guys in the same black suit and tie.


Now does this mean anything .... well I guess FoxNews says "you decide" [/b]
