Why do Americans hate America

...and women and black women in particular?

An ABC news poll shows that in a theoretical matchup between Hillary Clinton and Condoleeza "I believe it said...'Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S." Rice, Clinton wins by nine percentage points at 50/41%.

Both John McCain and Rudy Giuliani defeat Clinton in the same poll.

I find this fascinating. John McCain has developed the kind of Teflon usually reserved for guys named "Reagan" and "Bush". People seem to still regard him as a straight-shooter, for all that he has embraced the man whose 2000 campaign accused his wife of being a drug addict and his not-yet-adolescent daughter of being the product of a liaison with a black prostitute. In the world I live in, straight-talking honest politicians don't forgive that kind of just plain rottenness for political expedience.

As for Rudy Giuliani, well, I'd just be interested in thinking what the red-state "sanctity of marriage" crowd would make of that. Of course, their idea of "sanctity of marriage" means "Only marry someone of the opposite sex -- but when she gets too old, drop her for a younger version. Repeat until senile."
