So my question is, "How is voting for someone who is Black/Female/Jewish/Catholic/Mormon/etc... any different than NOT voting for them because they're Black/Female/Jewish/Catholic/Mormon/etc?

I don't understand why leftists' heads aren't exploding every day, simply from the paradox of how they "think."

What do you think?

So he’ll vote for Sarah Palin because she’s a woman?

People can say anything. It’s the actions that count. What has this guy done to help females. Has he helped raise daughters to become strong, confident and caring ladies? People can say anything.

Would that person vote for Palin?

If not, why not?

(I know the answer...but I think that publicized answer begs the public asking of that question.)

They’re a bunch of morons, brain-washed by the publik skools.

Yes, voting for someone because they are black is as racist as not voting for someone because they are black.

Just as someone is “sexist” for voting one way or another.

Liberals are just a bunch of brain-washed idiots.

We are living in he movie “Idocracy”. Preezydent Barry is their leader.

Many progressives feel the human race needs to die because we are spoiling the planet. I suggest they are right and should do the right thing and set an example for the rest of us.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at an appropriate, focus-group tested period of time before the 2016 election, Hillary(!) announces her lifelong bisexuality, thus expanding her appeal to God knows what.

Their heads don’t explode because there’s not enough in there to do any damage.

Leftists vote on emotion.

Obama? "I'm no racist! Sure, I voted for him!"
Herman Cain? "He cheated on his wife, right? Who wants that in the White House?"

Hillary? "I'm not sexist! I would vote for her!"
Sarah Palin? "She's an idiot! Why doesn't she stay home and raise kids?"

By the way, Satellite Radio is the way to go.

I think there was a big question left unasked.

When he answered that it was important to “advance” society, they should have asked him what that meant.

The brainlessness involved in that is telling. Such people seemingly crave a soft, pastel existence where they only do what they are told to do. A Hello Kitty prison life, without substance or thought.

It doesn’t even bother them that when the air raid sirens go off, they march into the giant stone head where they are eaten by Morlocks.

How does someone raise their hand on the radio?

I refuse. I will not pay for radio. Most of the time I listen to my expansive MP3 music files. Once in a while I will find Limbaugh on terrestrial radio.

Precisely! You win a kewpie doll. Leftists are self deluding emotional wrecks

I can understand your confusion. I used to be confused why their heads didn’t explode too. Let me try to explain. I think first though we have to get past the idea of imagining others to be as thoughtful or kind or motivated by the same values as ourselves. But for a head to explode, it has to be filled with something beyond capacity, and you’ll observe that this can’t possibly be the case with leftists, who have enough trouble with a single idea. However, there are slow-motion implosions and deflations going on around you all the time, I would bet. Observe the bewilderment among them about what to us is predictable, for example a scandle-prone, secretive, and suspicious head of state who had claimed to be instituting the most open and honest administration ever seen, or the recent launch of the so-called Affordable Care Act, which is neither affordable, nor caring. They have no room in their heads for reality, often, because they’ve had to let go of it to fit the ideology in, and that’s generally the last thing they have left. When that goes, they are briefly worse than the zombie-like status they’re in just before it. Some learn how to walk again, slowly, step by step, but by no means all.
