"Worthy?" Wouldn't know about that...but obviously there haven't been many who had the qualities, character and platform to get elected. As I said, unlike many libs, conservatives don't choose political leaders based on race.

Unlike libs, conservatives don't elect our political leaders based on their skin color.

That wasn't a "liberal" racist statement.
