how was the example I gave basing legislation on religion?KingOfDreams said:There's a difference I think from mentioning religion in response to a question and basing legislation on it.

Man-Thing said:Didn't he write songs with a satirical look at Jews and black people?
Man-Thing said:If Swan was in a true red state like Georgia with a large percentage of black people, he would win the race. It was stupid for the GOP to have him run in PN to begin with.
Matt said:The problem is, the name Lynn Swann doesn't effect people in Georgia like it does with people in PA. Lynn Swann is not running on a platform. He is running on being Lynn Swann, the Steeler great. That is why he is resorting to things like Terry Bradshaw campaigning for him. If he were running the same exact campaign in Georgia, he would lose there as well.
Man-Thing said:I don't think so.
Even the weakest platforms can win if you got the "wouldn't it cool if he was govenor" mojo going.
Man-Thing said:That's why if a black GOP ever gets nominated, he will be a shoe-in to win. For one, many black people would like to plain and simply see a black person as president, and since the most blacks are democrats they would vote for the black GOP canidate in the general elections, thus swaying the black vote to the GOP.
Matt said:I think PA is proving that wrong. This guy should be up 40 points Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh loves their Steelers. They have the most loyal fans on earth. It is a heavily black community as well, which he should appeal to. He is doing neither. That shows that a campaign with no platform just cannot be effective.
Matt said:The problem is, the Republicans remain the white rich man's party. A black republican will not make it past the primarly for at least 30 years. We'd likely have to see a major revolution within both parties for it to come to that. And Condi doesn't really count, as she is hopeless whether she is black, white, male, female.
Man-Thing said:It also shows that PA (i called it PN ealier-sorry) is a true moderate state/swing voter state. I don't know the black population % in PA, so I can't call that into effect. Bottom line, it shows PA's distrust of the GOP right now. In my post before this one, I said they have to have that "wouldn't it be great if he were govenor" mojo working. Kinda like Ahnold. Ahnold got lots of votes from people just believing it would be cool to have the terminator as govenor and the apparant insubordination of Grey Davis.
Man-Thing said:I agree. Funny thing though, where I live most racist I've encountered are Democrats and above 50. One told me he would rather vote for a "******" than a republican as if I was supposed to be in agreement with him.
When it comes to intelligence were moderates!!!Matt said:Perhaps...however Californians aren't exactly the smartest portion of the population![]()
Matt said:Good ol' Dixiecrats live on I guess.
JLBats said:Regardless, even if you think you might share some idealogical values with the party, if you consider them whiners, why align yourself with them?
