<p>Washington State had Gary Locke.</p>

<p>Hawaii had George Ariyoshi, John Waihee, and Benjamin Cayetano.</p>

<p>Certain positions are set aside for the white male especially that of the presidency.</p>

<p>“Certain positions are set aside for the white male especially that of the presidency.”</p>

<p>??? </p>

<p>and I thought you had to ‘win’ in an election.</p>

<p>Simba at #23. A hearty LOL. That’s the way it’s 'pozed to be.</p>

25

<p>Simba</p>

<p>The election is only a formality.</p>

<p>Hondu: are we talking about a country on third rock from the Sun?</p>

<p>Simba,</p>

<p>On your post #23, yes! That’s how its supposed to be…but really, let’s get a reality check here. Despite their individual abilities, do you really think that the red states in the US, which invariably swing the elections in favor of the President elect would vote for a non-Christian President?</p>

<p>There are many highly qualified individuals including (and not limited to) Joe Lieberman and Obama… </p>

<p>No matter how great they are intellectually, I just can’t see any of the red states voting them in.</p>

28

<p>? I’m not saying that red states will necessarily swing his way, but Obama is a Christian.</p>

29

<p>“No matter how great they are intellectually, I just can’t see any of the red states voting them in.”</p>

<p>but that does not make a set aside position.</p>

<p>I will not vote for senator from Israel - he will start a war with Iran. Obama does not inspire me. Comes across as opportunist.</p>

<p>Pharmagal: I don’t know about non-Christian, but the big untold story about discrimination in politics is that atheists are the most hated group, judging from “would you not vote for a candidate if he was ____”. Atheists even have lower numbers than gay people in those kind of polls.</p>

Good thinking. I heard many voters opposed Jindal because they knew he was Indian and knew he intended to declar war against Pakistan. LA’s National Guard is pretty good. My money is on them.</p>

<p>“In an interview with ThinkProgress, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) today rejected Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) threats of a war against Iran. On CBS’s Face the Nation, Lieberman claimed that “we have to be prepared to take aggressive military action ” against Iran.”</p>

<p>another small blurb</p>

<p>Well, the fact that it’s good that we’re working with Britain, France and Germany now, but the pace is too slow. We’ve got to try
to take it to the United Nations. I’m pessimistic that Russia and China will let us do what we want to do. And then I think we’ve got to form a coalition of the willing first to impose economic sanctions on Iran.</p>

<p>SCHIEFFER: Well.</p>

<p>Sen. LIEBERMAN: And secondly, we can never take the military option off the table. And if we feel that if Iran having nuclear weapons is that much a
danger to the rest of the world, then we’ve got to be prepared to take military action to deter their ability to get nuclear weapons. And that’s the last option, the military option.</p>

<p>So Jindahl is secretly planning to send the Louisiana National Guard to fight against Pakistan?! Wonder how effective they’d be. That would, however, get a lot of the holy warriors on the same playing field, something I’ve advocated for years. Let our fundamentalists fight theirs, I say.</p>

<p>Unless there’s some general sarcasm that I’m missing from this thread, I think razorsharp was being sarcastic. After all, foreign policy is a federal power.</p>
