AA has already been outlawed in one state ... can't remember which one but I heard it yesterday on CNN.

Re: History was made tonight
 

Certainly if a minority person holds the highest office in the country, and he was elected by the countries population, this proves AA is no longer needed.

All I ever see you do is throw stones. Not everyone thinks the same things are important as you do.

Re: History was made tonight
 

If you think the future of this country is important then you do think the same thing I do.

Re: History was made tonight
 

Mitchel, we all think the future of our country is extremely important and many of us do not think as you do.

Just think how crowded your neighborhood would be if we all thought exactly as you do! ;)

Re: History was made tonight
 

I have to say momo, that is just about the most ignornant post you have made. While I don't agree with most of your political views, I would never go so far as to say that if you don't believe what I believe you don't care about the future of the country. Thats kind of an I'm always right and there is no gray area just black and white view, isn't it? Sounds a little intolerant coming from a left thinking liberal type of guy. Maybe that's not how you meant it to seem, but it sure comes off that way.

When Palin and her husband were both AIP members that says to me that they are not safe to anywhere near the White house. Care to disagree?

Re: History was made tonight
 

Yeah, I care to disagree. Sarah Palin was not a member of the AIP and that is in her husband's past. Political Punch

Mitchel, based on prior comments, you don't believe an unborn child with a heartbeat, brain waves, limbs and its own DNA is human and has the right to life. Many of us believe strongly and believe ripping their limbs off of them or burning them to death with a saline solution cannot be justified by anyone in this nation. Yet Obama has extremely strong views in support of this genocide to the point that he is unwilling to even protect the lives of those aborted babies who, by the grace of God, happen to be born alive. How anyone can support such crimes against humanity and get the support of our citizens to become our President baffles many of us.

Re: History was made tonight
 

Oh really! While we may not be able to prove it, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that she was and that she still clings to their beliefs. It has been solidly proven that her husband was for many years. Talk about palin' around with extremest!

Though Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union, and that organizes with other like-minded secessionist movements from Canada to the Deep South, he is not without peculiar influence in state politics, especially the rise of Sarah Palin. An obscure figure outside of Alaska, Chryson has been a political fixture in the hometown of the Republican vice-presidential nominee for over a decade. During the 1990s, when Chryson directed the AIP, he and another radical right-winger, Steve Stoll, played a quiet but pivotal role in electing Palin as mayor of Wasilla and shaping her political agenda afterward. Both Stoll and Chryson not only contributed to Palin's campaign financially, they played major behind-the-scenes roles in the Palin camp before, during and after her victory.

But whether the Palins participated directly in shaping the AIP's program is less relevant than the extent to which they will implement that program. Chryson and his allies have demonstrated just as much interest in grooming major party candidates as they have in putting forward their own people. At a national convention of secessionist groups in 2007, AIP vice chairman Dexter Clark announced that his party would seek to "infiltrate" the Democratic and Republican parties with candidates sympathetic to its hard-right, secessionist agenda. "You should use that tactic. You should infiltrate," Clark told his audience of neo-Confederates, theocrats and libertarians. "Whichever party you think in that area you can get something done, get into that party. Even though that party has its problems, right now that is the only avenue."

Please try and keep the rest of it in the chatroom perhaps.... I can see this ending with people packing their bags and I hate it when that happens.
