Voting FOR someone because of religion or race is just as bad as voting AGAINST someone because of religion or race.

It isn't necessarily bad to vote against someone because of their religion.

I would vote against any Sharia-advocating Muslim for any office in the land on the basis of his religion alone. If you wouldn't, you're either a Sharia-advocating Muslim, a deluded leftist or an idiot.

D) None of the above.

I do recognize that the religion plays a role in shaping one’s values and morals.

I was thinking about all the people who voted for bammy just because he was black. Didn’t matter that someone much more qualified was running.

Or the women who voted for Hillary because she was a woman, qualifications notwithstanding.

Islam does fall into its own category. I don’t trust them.

My point was, which I guess I didn’t get across clear enough, is that people are criticized for voting against someone because of their race or religion (with islam aside) with the pejorative of *racist*. But it’s just as much racism to vote based on race (or religion) as voting against.

If that still didn’t get the point across, I’ll just stop digging.
