Originally Posted By RoadTrip Agreed. Hillary will generate even more division than Obama. I don't think Obama's primary problem was being a black man (though I could be wrong)... I think it was being a black man with a Muslim-sounding name. America would be more willing to accept a black man with an "American sounding" name than they will be a white woman. Especially a white woman married to a prior president who is still reviled by conservatives. Should be a fun ride.

I don't know if that would have been true in '08, however with the way things are now you may be right. Also, I really hate saying this because it sounds like I'm stirring the race pot, but you really should have placed the words "old" and "white" at the beginning of that sentence.

More importantly he also reveals these startling statistics: "The members of the suicide caucus live in a different America from the one that most political commentators describe when talking about how the country is transforming. The average suicide-caucus district is seventy-five per cent white, while the average House district is sixty-three per cent white. Latinos make up an average of nine per cent of suicide-district residents, while the over-all average is seventeen per cent. The districts also have slightly lower levels of education (twenty-five per cent of the population in suicide districts have college degrees, while that number is twenty-nine per cent for the average district). The members themselves represent this lack of diversity. Seventy-six of the members who signed the Meadows letter are male. Seventy-nine of them are white." How is it even possible that a group of (mostly) men, who only represent just 18% of the US population, have enough influence to shut the government down indefinitely and put THE ENTIRE COUNTRY in such a terrible mess?

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt On another note, has anyone noticed how the Republicans have pretty much stopped talking about Obamacare since shutdown started?

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<RoadTrip do you know if one of your representatives on the suicide caucus?>> No... none here. The wackiest politician in this area was Senate candidate Todd Akin, and he went so far over the edge that McCaskill won in an election that everyone in the country thought the Democrats would lose. Of course that was a statewide election and included liberal votes from Kansas City and St. Louis. In the county where I live, Akin would have easily won. In fact I just checked... in Christian County (great name, huh?) Akin beat McCaskill 54% - 38%.
