[QUOTE=JohnnieEnigma] oh, and another thing, which is a side note. Who was it that received the right to vote initially? Was it race or gender? It was race. šŸ™‚ And Iā€™m not playing the race card here, just throwing in some history. Obamaā€™s race isnā€™t a factor with me, although itā€™s an additional benefit for him. [/QUOTE] It may be a bit more complicated than that. Itā€™s likely some free blacks were able to vote in early New England, but I canā€™t think of any examples. Just a few weeks back I learned that one state (probably Maryland - 17th or 18th century) rewrote its voter qualification law and, while careful to spell out property-owning requirements, neglected to mention gender. Thus, a few widows who had inherited land were able to vote until the law was ā€œfixedā€. Of course that anorexic battleaxe wants Hillary for prez; sheā€™s her favorite target. ---

Yawn. Coulter is a money grubbing publicity whore. She lives for shit like this thread. ---

If you were the high-and-tight right, how would you want to spend the next 4 years: a) giving lukewarm, half-hearted props to a Pub moderate like Romney or a maverick like McCain, or b) lambasting the living shit out of a not-always-ultralikeable Clinton Dem who also happens to be _the first woman President_? ---

Iā€™ve voted GOP my whole life, and if McCain is the nominee, I will not support him. I certainly wonā€™t vote for Hillary, but Iā€™ll pick my favorite third party candidate and throw away my vote thereā€¦ ---

[QUOTE=Ca3799] Mark Levin, obnoxious radio show host, said he would quit his show if McCain won Florida. Sadly, he did not actually do it. I guess both of thier complaints are that McCain is not conservative enough. Also, Rush said he wouldnā€™t vote at all. . [/QUOTE] eh. I take this the same way as all those celebrities (Alec Baldwin for one) who said theyā€™d move out of the US if Bush won. ---

Coulter is absolutely right, in her own ghoulish Coulter way. If McCain and Clinton are the two candidates, America has a choice between two moderate conservatives. ---

Can someone explain to me why the ultra-conservatives hate McCain so much? Heā€™s pro-life, pro-war, against mandated universal health care, against gay marriageā€¦ how is he not conservative enough? Plus heā€™s an honest-to-God war hero. Youā€™d think theyā€™d be thrilled to come out of eight years of Bush with _any_ kind of Republican candidate who could actually win a general election. ---
