Thank God we can count on people like you, Sal, who look to the achievements of the candidates as one of the criteria for who you choose and not superficial things like the candidate's name or skin color. Say, would you very much mind actually LISTING Barack's many achievements? You know, the ones you claimed a few weeks ago were too numerous for you to list here? Funnily enough, Sal, I've asked you to do this about a dozen times and you haven't been able to. I must therefore conclude that either: a) Barack doesn't actually HAVE any achievements and therefore it is impossible for you to list things that are non-existant; or b) You, Sal, don't consider a candidate's achievements as one of the criteria for choosing whom to vote for but, instead, rely on superficial things such skin color or one's name, despite what you wrote derisively about the woman in the Salon article. I suspect it's (b), Sal. Since you are unable to name any of his achievements even though you claimed there were so many, I suspect you've chosen Barack because of his skin color, confirming what Geraldine Ferraro said. You've got caught up in the concept of Barack being Black which is, of course, a form of reverse racism. This is especially true when one considers that Barack doesn't HAVE any achievements that would prepare him for the presidency!
