[Dog Gone]

I think the reporting showed that the MSM probably favored a pope from Africa or Latin America, but I'm not sure that it led me to believe that it was probable. In fact, the stories I read indicated that Ratzinger was the frontrunner, but without a majority yet.

I think the discussion about the nationality or skin color of the pope is interesting, but it's rather sad that it's an issue at all. I would think the character and philosphies would be paramount.

Since I'm not catholic, whether they choose to have a foodfight after this election is only a matter of interest to me, since I have no stake in it. I would prefer that everyone was happy, but fights make for better entertainment, and I don't mean that in a flippant way. Sometimes they are over important matters, and sometimes they're over trivial matters, but they're always news.

Well, folks like you and I are not brainwashed or duped by the MSM, what I was referring to was the SHEEPLE out their who only get their news by the fruity networks, the ABCS, CBS, NBCS, CNN, PSB so on and so on.
Your right, skin color should have nothing to do with it, but, the liberals, even during the last election, during the situation with Terry, and now the new Pope are showing the true colors.
They ( Libs/Dems ) are showing that they are more racist than the Republicans/Conservatives.
The worst racist out there is someone, or a group of people who always proclaim that in their race group, creed, nationality, or sex, has no capacity of racism, they are blind by their own hatred.
