I'm curious: what do the general American public find more important - dismantling 'race barriers' or the 'glass ceiling'?

Personally, and sorry ladies, I think the glass ceiling can wait awhile.

In the last few days I have received the Dear Friend letter from both him and Hillary asking for money my wife has not and she is a registered democrat I am unaffiliated but tend towards Libertarianism

Start voting for a third party then?

There is no really viable third party in the US. There are a few but they do not get that many votes too many people too lazy to change or look in new directions.

Well, the American people's own fault then.

No.

What's your problem? Reasonable questions require, at the very least, reasonable answers. Flippant one word answers just go to prove my assumption you're a dickhead.

Well, dismantling 'race barriers' is really a liberal excuse for putting them back up.

And there isn't a glass ceiling, people of all races, genders, "sexual orientations", have been gloriously successful.

We have a very diverse election coming up...

Running:
Black: Obama
Woman: Clinton
Mormon: Romney
Italian Catholic: Guiliani
Irish Catholic: McCain

If Rice forms an exploratory committee, we'll add a black woman to the list.

Fair enough, BUT hence why I put those two phrases in quotation marks...Assumptions, assumptions. Can I not ask something without someone assuming my political persuasions?

All good and well, but we beat you to the punch with Thacker, you know.
