Gingrich: Poor Kids Have No Work Habits

I should repeat, quotas are and have been against the law. Anyone arguing that quotas are used in inaccurate.

As for qualifications, elections are different than job interviews. There is no comparison. All that is required for an election is that a majority think this is the person for the job, regardless of qualification. Itis not smart to try and make this something it isn't.

Racism is still alive and well. If it was not for AA and quotas minorities would be openly dicriminated against

Barack Obama was not discriminated against when being named head of Harvard Law Review or being elected President of the United States....

So, you are either arguing that Obama either received those positions due to AA or quotas.... or that AA/Quotas are NOT actually needed to combat "open discrimination"

The question was WHY he was selected, not how the election was determined.

If you´re puzzled as to WHY he was elected, just say so and move on.

It doesn't matter why. It was an election.

I imagine the last KKK Imperial Wizard was also elected. What is your point?

A simple one. It didn't matter what the imperial wizard's qualifications were either. He won the election.

Well, we've at least established that the KKK has the same standards as concerns ideological qualification as the American electorate.

No. Nearly all elections are the same. They are more about popularity and less about qualifications.

Only the left side of the American electorate. You shouldn't blame all Americans for the actions of these idiots.

Who does an election differently? Please, educate. :coffeepap
 
Equating the KKK with Obama's election victory is not so far flung. The difference is, I hope, that the incompetence of politically correctness is not as ridiculous as I had thought.

Meaning you can't answer. I know you want to throw around all kinds of inaccurate and mindless silliness, and hate being called on it. But the fact remains, you have not shown any difference between how any side handles a election.

Perhaps this is the problem. Many that throw around accusations are themselves clueless and simultaneously accuse others of being so. A viscous circle indeed.
