3. Yeah but racist remarks do not fall into category of his performance.
This type of thing reaches even the most uninformed constituents.

6. What are you say'n...?
The comments are offensive. How can he serve the interests of people of color when he obviously has contempt for them?

7. Sure they are offensive, but they are offensive in a weird sort of
tough guy manly flattering way, like construction worker cat calls. I don't think it's the kind of thing that somebody is going to take a punch at you for saying.

8. Depends on who is on the recieving end of the comments.
And given your comments, I think we are done conversing.

Thanks for sharing. Have a good night.

9. I fear you're right
A) I don't think many voters are going to hear the comments.

B) I'm not sure many of his voters are going to be offended by the comments. It's sad, but probably true. He's too slick of a campaigner. He's obviously a sexist, racist pig. But, he is able to get away with it because of his macho posturing.

10. And add this gem to all the others- his groping incidents, the harrassment
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 08:27 PM by zonkers
claims against him, the pervy Playboy video he made and all the stuff I'm leaving out, THERE IS NO WAY THIS GUY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WIN THE ELECTION unless of course his foe is Phil Angeledes.

12. The same way white guys win in Mississippi?
Disenfranchisement in the modern age, sadly, is not usually needed. Apathy wins the day. How else do you explain a state like Mississippi, where the majority of the population is black and always has been, and even most white people are no longer racists?

They keep poor people, people of color, and white liberals from voting not through intimidation or fraud, but through simple apathy. Why doesn't my vote matter? What do politics matter? Who cares, since I'm living in government-funded housing and can't feed my family? I'm poorly educated and chronically undereployed, and all my friends say voting and politics are stupid, so why should I vote? Election, what's that?

Did Latinos or Blacks vote for ARnold the first time around? Mostly no, becuase of voter apathy.

The result:
