Diversity among the political candidates
I recently received an e-mail from David Barton's WallBuilders containing a voters guide. There were 8 questions spanning moral, economic and homeland security issues.
On the Republican side there were 6 candidates, all of whom could probably be described as middle-aged white guys. Not a single one of them matched the full set of answers with any of the others. Each one had his own unique combination of issues he supported or opposed.
On the Democratic side there were 3 candidates; a white guy, a black guy and a white woman. You could make the argument that they were a more diverse group than the 6 white Republican guys.
Or could you?
On the Democratic side there were 3 people, 8 questions, and ONE ANSWER! They ALL agreed with each other on EVERYTHING!!!
This is diversity? Some choice!
