Because white people have always ruled America. Spirited doesn't want someone of color or ethnicity into office?
Your joking right? Race shouldn't matter when it comes to who leads this country. I want the most qualified, most able body person, who is not going to raise taxes and who is not going to screw me over in the longrun. I could give a damn if that person is white, black, Asian, Mexican or a freaking Martian.

I was being facetious. But, when was the last non-white/christian/catholic President? Yeah... Kinda glad I'm not a white christian when I look at it that way.

Personally, I'd like to see a nice stereotypical Jew get into office. The country is more or less a business, so why not have it run like a business.

Besides, I'd just enjoy hearing those ever amusing phrases during serious political moments, and watching the collective aneurysm of the jesus brigade.

Well Mayor Bloomburg was considering running as a independant candiadate, but early in the race we already had two candidates claiming to represent NY (Guiliani and Clinton).

I guess he decided it would be better to wait for a different and more oppurtune time.

I've heard that McCain is considering him for VP.

Ok, sure, we've heard 1000 possibilities for both Pres candidates about their VP, but I thought I'd add this anyway

That might be interesting.. hell it could be a good counter balance to McCain's crazy.

My opinion of Bloomberg will drop considerably if he decides to become McCain's VP.

Four More Years!

What do you have against McCain, CC? You're a New Yorker, you should hate Hilary and the Dems more. :p

well my country is already a business. my president is the chairman, my prime minister is the CEO. His dad is the godfather. you sure you want a country ran this way? No more freedom, you know. Just like you cannot badmouth your boss in front of him unless you want to quit of course.

However, I -can- badmouth my boss. Provided I have an Xbox 360 and play online with him. Or be another manager's Brother, or rent a place from the manager...
