1) I like vanilla ice cream. Simple doesn’t mean simplistic.2) If Democrats are vanilla, that would make Republicans Chocolate, in which case Hillary would a chocolate vanilla swirl. After all, she is on the political spectrum where Republicans were 40 years ago before they moved further and further to the right.
The Democratic candidates maybe Vanilla. Democratic voters are not. Republican flavor variety depth is very shallow in their ice cream polar. Democrats Racially Diverse; Republicans Mostly White
http://www.gallup.com/poll/160373/democrats-racially-diverse-republicans-mostly-white.aspxRepublican race is already more interesting. We will see who is more conservative enough.
How about what happened after that? You know, Dixiecrats jumping to the GOP, Nixon’s “Southern Strategy,” the mysterious hatred of Abraham Lincoln in “his” party, that sort of thing?
Does everyone in the Democratic Party think she’s the best for the job? Does no one have the backbone to challenge? They don’t deserve to win. But she’s better than the Republican choices. God bless America, with a viable third party, please.
Are Blacks better off under Obama? Yes and No, but more or less no. The yes part is more of them have health insurance, but under many other measures you are correct.A big part of why you are correct is that Obama continued on with many Bush policies. Just so I am not accused of linking to liberal articles, from Fox News:"In the crucible of the 2008 financial crisis, President Bush famously remarked that “I chucked aside my free-market principles .” He was referring to TARP, his infamous big bank bailout. Obama supported the bill and voted for it.
Even before the TARP bill gave legal legitimacy to bank bailouts, the Federal Reserve was already conducting extraordinary operations well beyond its normal monetary policy purview, in a series of backroom deals negotiating principally in the office of the New York Fed, then led by Timothy Geithner.
So nothing signaled a continuation of Bush-era policies more clearly than Obama’s decision to promote Geithner to Treasury Secretary, his point man on economic issues. The message wasn’t lost on Wall Street special interests, who the New York Times reported refer to Geithner as “our man in Washington.”http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/10/18/obama-has-continued-bushs-failed-policies/I do not agree with everything in the opinion piece, but I do agree with their assessment of Obama keeping Timothy Geithner. I also do not think Obama is a liberal President. Conservatives complain about Obamacare but it was an idea of theirs about 15 years back.
No, the Republicans, who so far have a woman, an African-American and at least two Latinos running.By current Dem standards, any of them should’ve been anointed President a week ago, just because they have the correct genetic characteristics.
Can you prove the talking point of "If Ronald Reagan were alive today he couldn’t even call himself a Republican. That is a simpleton talking point from the likes of MSNBC.-Just because you say it, doesn’t make it so (to quote a blowhard on a comic page message board).
