- He has already ACTed on his feelings for the rights of women. He has
- talked about ACTing on his feelings regarding the rights of gay people, when
- he talked about lifting the ban on gays in the military. Since the man
- is not yet President, I think that it is premature to claim that he is not
- going to ACT on his feelings.

- I deleted your post, but I believe that you did say that he didn't have
- any real feelings for women or minorities. You talked about what a "good"
- politician does.
