It would be a clever trick if they could press him to pardon a really bad black man ... and use it against him when he runs again.

I don't get pardoning people who are long dead.

mccain's a good man and probably the best candidate for president i ever didn't vote for. he also has a long running interest in boxing.

it's too bad the rest of the party isn't as enlightened.

not every republican is a racist. but if you're a racist and want to join a major party the choice is pretty obvious.

Is that why they call it a "Johnson"?

your kidding right? some of the biggest racists i know are liberals? and i say that as someone who is liberal on a lot of things. But who are the ones always crying race card?? who was it that pushed affirmative action which is by definition racist??

there are racists on both sides of the aisle, just for some reason old white guys being racist is viewed as 20 times worse than minorities being racist to either other minorities or whites.

it's funny how every conversation about race somehow winds up being a discussion of the huge national problem of discrimination against white people.

you might be liberal on a lot of issues but you echo the typical resentful old white guy when you try to make a case that there's an equivalency between slavery, lynching, jim crow laws, and whatever slight injury you imagine yourself to have suffered as a result of minority empowerment.

i think we're a better country for what has been accomplished since the civil rights act of 1965. some disagree.

my point is that most of the latter are republicans.
