"Republicans... all white Christian party..."

Mr. Lynn Swann has decided to run for political office. Good for him. If elected, we hope good for the people he represents. Like all elected officials, he will be held accountable for his actions or non-actions, good or bad. But he will not be held accountable for the color of his skin.

"I often think it's comical;
How nature always does contrive
That every boy and every gal,
That's born into the world alive,
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conserative. - W. S. Gilbert

I agree with you. Mr. Swann has earned his name in sports not because of his race; but by his ability. The electorate should look at his qualifications to hold elected office, and his stand on the issues concerning his political race. PC is dead. It was a liberal idea that promoted bias over good common sense. May it stay dead and never rear its ugly head again.

The G.O.P. is not an "all white" party anymore than the Democrat party is an "all right" party. The majority of American families are conserative in their homes. This was reflected in the last cycle of elections.The conserative message is for people of all walks of life and races, here and abroad. Like the Gospel message is for "you", meaning everyone.

Each of us are free to choose what we believe, and each of us will be held accountable for our actions. "They" is exclusive - "we" is inclusive. They get way too much blame for what "we" do. Debate is good, hate is wrong when it inflames "us" to name calling, and race baiting. We are the G.O.P. Bring your ideas and help us "move America forward."

I've taken my stand and I respect yours. It's good when we agree; but if we must disagree, lets disagree without being disagreeble. Have an enjoyable Independence Day. We all agree here.
