Then why not vote for me? I have military, intelligence, workforce development, veterans affairs, human resources and campaign experience, unlike Dr. Carson. But then, I’m not black. Because that’s what it all boils down to, doesn’t it? Our desperate need to show that we’re not racist. I liken it to giving a six year old the keys to a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
I don’t feel a need to vote for anyone based on their skin color. Dr. Carson is a self made man, his race has nothing to do with it. My preference is still Sarah Palin but it has nothing to do with her being a woman. To me, it’s about integrity, vision, stance on the issues in relation to the constitution, etc.
If you run, perhaps I’ll vote for you, based on the criteria I just mentioned.
I have to say that military experience, while appreciated, is not something I demand from a candidate. Military personnel are no better, no worse than the population at large. I have just as much regard for the men who pick up my trash each Friday morning. I thank them for their service, too.
