hillary will never be a dummy president. if i have to chose between clinton and obama, i'll chose clinton. no matter how educated a person is, he'll always bring up the "race card" issue. mura ug di kasaligan ang nawng ni obama.

but my number 1 choice jud is John Edwards, kaya lang kulelat man siya pirmi uy.

In land of color discrimination,surely their roots will be a big factor.This election will not only be a choice of qualification and leadership but also a choice of color.Blacks are blacks whites are whites.

I don't know what is more discriminatory, your post or the the country you post about. Have you been in the US? Have you experienced said discrimination? Ask any Filipino in the US. Ask them if they have been discriminated against to the extent that you seem to portray the American public. I felt more discrimination and judgment passed on me while living in Cebu than I ever have living in the US.

Still these people wont accept the truth..I understand you being half- breed.But to tell you even if people in your adopted country will deny the truth,still it shows.from the time of Abe lincoln, to the wars,and to the katrina hurricane which cost thousands of lives,color discrimination is present.Try to search the source for I may become more discriminate.You can tell by the supporters of this candidates if who are they.whose the supporters of Obama?whose the supporters of Clinton?

1999 when a group of teachers (Filipinos)went to eat in a restaurant in LA,they were hungry and when they tried to enter the place theirs a sign saying"For whites only..Asians and Caucasians not allowed"..Oh maybe because I was born too early..Sorry if my experienced was a bit too old to tell.

Could you post a link up for that? Living in the State of California I find that highly unlikely and very very illegal. Perhaps in some of the southern states it may have happened back in the 50's and 60's but in California....I doubt it. The owner would be in jail by now. California has some the toughest anti sexism and anti racist policies of any state in America. L.A. has a Philippino population of over 200,000, I doubt they would get away with that

I am willing to be proved wrong.

either obama and clinton is good for america and may be quite harsh for the rest of the world. remember the demands for foreign workers (nurses, pt, it) was at peak low during clinton's time in the late 90's. coz they made very effective ways tapping local workers. democrats are also against outsourcing, we may end up losing thousands of jobs here. they just want these jobs back to the americans.

maligya na lng kog kutsilyo

First off, you calling me half-breed proves my point. I don't need further this conversation for someone with no understanding of modern American society except what they get from movies and text from history books. I didn't adopt the US, I embrace it with open arms, just as any Filipino should embrace being Filipino with open arms, sadly, I doubt that.

Equating supporters of either candidate to "the land of color discrimination" is ignorant at best. There is a difference between supporters and discrimination. If issues were as black and white as you portray, Obama would have won no states and neither would Clinton. Both candidates require delegates arising from every color. If there was any truth to what you were saying, Edwards, the charismatic white male candidate would have won the nomination a long time ago. There is more discriminatory division in the Philippines, a country that would easily fit into just one of the many US states, than there is here. Long have I heard Manila call Cebuanos lower class. Long have I heard mainstream Catholic Pinoys talk less of minority Muslims. If you are going to talk about discrimination, get off you non-existing high horse and talk on the same level.

I'd like to see an actual account with these signs, not mere hearsay. Not only is it unbelievable, but we have very harsh laws that forbid discrimination and very powerful organizations that would slap anyone around that does discriminate. Urban legends don't count.

mas grabeh nuon discrimination sa atoa... just like Bisaya and the Tagalogs.... tsk tsk
regarding the colors of both Presidentiables, i have no problem about it, its their policies that matters most

clinton is the favorate to represent the democrats. i dont think he(obama) will win. clinton has the edge over obama because the whites will vote clinton and the latinos, filipinos favored clinton. de majority of the whitey people man will definately vote a white candidate. i dont think the us is ready for a colored president.

For president morag hillary clinton.

America today don't need race to choose for the next president nor gender issue.
what the american people NEED is SOMEBODY who could LEAD THE NATION BACK ON TRACK...
someone Who would put the Economy back, someone who could takes care of Healthcare, someone Who could PULL OUT TROOPS from AFGAN N IRAQ, and some other issues concerning American people.

if race were the issue OPRHA could have won long time ago.

This is really going to be tough... I am working for a company who does political surveys over the phone. As far as I can remember, there are a few of the americans who doesn't like hillary clinton. Barack is supported by most blacks of course especially in Louisiana where most blacks are. His candidacy is being supported by a strong Oprah Winfrey and the likes. IF it were me, Im going to support him as well.

u r surely working at western wats...if im not mistaken.

anyways, Hillary (democrats) and McCain (republicans) just won the Florida primary...
