Quote by: Technosoul I do not know who made up those stats for you but I do not agree. 1. I know for sure Clinton would not and I doubt if Obama is going to appoint a judge to the Supreme Court just so that gay people can get married. That is so silly. However I think they might try to appoint one that views the consitution as advocating equality for everyone. But more importantly, a judge who is fully qualified for the job.

They will appoint liberal judges. The issue of a gay divorce being invalid (eventhough it was legit in the State it took place in) beginning consider invalid against public policy at divorce time is bound to hit the supreme court. Then the Supreme Court will have to decide whether gay marriage is against public policy an considered an invalid marriage outside of the State the marriage took place in.

You should not confuse social justice with socialism. All the "socialism crap" is just a flash back to the 1950s era when Reagan attacked Hollywood for being part of some sort of socialistic conspiracy, that is an old-hat theory and we have moved on from that out-of-date mentality in Amreica, today is today not yesterday.

Nor am I. I see the growing of government, social programs, welfare and tax increase as socialism.

2. You are wrong because I live here in So California and the Mexican-American community is going to remain a democratic stronghold, the Major of L.A is a Democrat and he is of Mexican decent. The other Spanish people we sent to washington are also Democratic. Over-all the spanish community do not think that Blacks are much interested in their struggles for equality and respect (the two communities are having an on-going gang war right now) but they support Hillary Clinton in a strong way. If Obama wins then some degree of discrimination can play a role in favor of McCain.

The Latinos will still vote Democratic, I wasn't disputing that. Latinos are huge receipts of welfare, state provided healthcare and a good chunk are at the bottom tax level, so increase in taxes mean nothing to them. However, McCain will get more Latino votes then other Republican candidate and that was what I was trying to state. Also never under-estimate the CA Latino hatred for the black man.

3. McCain could get some Jewish votes if those people are Republican, especially with his "independant" side kick - Joe. But Hillary is winning that sector and just did so in Penn primary, among Jewish voters who are Democratic - most of them are hard core Democrats. Hillary still has their favor in her current miss-trust of Iran.

Unfortunately that is a true statement, most Jews are blind Democrats. With PA over and Clinton not making a real dent into Obama's lead, Obama looks like he is the candidate. The Jewish voters in NJ, NY and FL will be hestiate of him. I predict they go with McCain. Obviously I fall outside of that since I prefer fiscal conservatism and responsibility over socialism.

4. Wrong. Most of the Independant voters wanted Ron Paul and not McCain. McCain won only because Republicans had no other choice because they needed someone who could appear to be a little different the President Bush. So the can pretend to offer a change.

LOL, WHAT? Ron Paul was a non-factor he barely got any vote regard of the hoopla. The news credited his win in NH and FL to the independent votes. It is well known that he has a favorable standing with the independents.

5. The middle democrats will vote for a moderate progressive like Hillary Clinton, not some radical right winger who wants to keep us in some military mode of conducting international policy making.

McCain is seen as a more left leaning Republican. He will still some more moderate Democrats.

6. Good, picking Rice would reinforce the fact the McCain will carry on the same-o kind of Bushism which has nearly distroyed America in so many ways.

Please! That is a typical unsubstantiated leftist attack.

She is not another Martin King Jr like Obama is, so that would not sway African Americans to vote for McCain or his token lady.

Obama has a lot to prove to be in half of what MLK was. MLK was arguably the best American in US history. Putting Obama in the same phrase at this point in disingenious. Obama has done nothing to warrant it.

McCain is just another rusty old boat that is about to sink into the seas of historical babble.

Read up a little, before you make arrogant attacks on the man. The right-wing talk radio hates him because of his going against the party. McCain will decrease taxes and spending 10 fold, that hasn't been the trend for Democrats or Republicans since Reagan!
