Do the GOP Candidates argue about who is the whitest, and who is going after the white vote?

In a nationally televised debate last night, the ten candidates for the Republican presidential nomination engaged in a battle royal, with each candidate staking his claim to the title of the whitest white male in the G.O.P. race. With the elusive white male voter holding the keys to victory in the G.O.P. nomination, all ten candidates seemed mindful of reaching out to that often-forgotten voting bloc. The question of “who is the whitest” came up in the opening minutes of the debate held on the campus of the University of South Carolina, where hundreds of concerned white male voters gathered to hear the candidates speak. “Not only am I the whitest male in this race, I am the whitest male named Thompson in this race,” said former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson in an apparent reference to former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, who is poised to become the eleventh white male vying for the G.O.P. nod. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney went on the offensive when he cited his “impeccable whiteness credentials,” telling the crowd, “I was a governor, a businessman, and before that, a generic white male Clipart character.” But perhaps the most electrifying moment in the debate came from Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who at 70 years of age would be the oldest white male ever elected president. “With all due respect, I have been whiter longer than any of the men on this stage,” he said, to thunderous applause. **this is known as SATIRE people

1. all I know is that White people should vote republican if they do not want to be wiped out(starved out) by the democrats. The Democrats are going to have the "hate Whitey voters"
2. yeah, and did you notice they all wear black suits. the ties are different colors, that's about all.
3. This is pretty good! I think you should sell it to SNL, it would be a hilarious skit.
4. A 55 GALLON OF COPPERTONE WOULD SOLVE THEIR PROBLEM.
5. Very funny, well done.
6. It may be satire but it is confusing. Is this part of the "Is America ready for a black man" guilt routine?
7. The first black presidential cabinet member was who? Frederick Douglas, REPUBLICAN. Who held the longest filibuster of all time and over what bill? The Democrats filibuster of the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT OF 1964 !!! Who championed women's rights? REPUBLICANS. Benjamin Franklin said, If you don't know your history, your bound to repeat it.
8. This is the pathetic shallow kind of politics so typical of the GOP...as if it matters...Too bad they dont have anything of any significance to talk about...but then I havent heard much from them that matters for a long time, most of them carry two cash registers one under each arm...
9. No. They never have & never will. Why do you hate white people?
10. Republicans dont judge people by the color of their skin.
11. Well the Democrats have laid claim to the Black and Women vote...seems fair.
12. Who is the blackest Democrat? Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton? Hillary's black accent sure is convincing; in fact, I think many black voters will be fooled into voting for her because of the authenticity of her accent. I believe her next step will be to don shoe polish on her face, a tophat, cane and tap shoes. When finished with her speech, she can spread her arms as she falls to one knee and say, "Mammy, Mammy, Mammy!!!" In no way is Hillary's conduct patronizing. Since Bill was "the first black President" we must all acknowledge that Hillary was channeling her inner blackness when she married him.
