    Backwards in what sense in the 1950's when it comes to Civil Rights?

    Or do you mean traditional.. because i know many mexicans who are stuck back in tradition and believe that the Female is subordinate to the male.

    Backwards when it comes to issues such as gay marriage.....and why do you assume I'm ok with that Mexican tradition......I might be a registered democrat but I'm as conservative as it gets when it comes to traditional Mexicans in America refusing to change their life style. Don't assume I'm an ACLU liberal, some of those people drive me nuts.

    So now you're just ignorant..
    Yes, he is.

    It was the republicans that freed the slaves.

    It was the republicans voting 80%+ that make the Civil Rights Act of 1964 pass.

    Democrats are just better liars as politicians, and sway the minorities to them.

    There are few blacks who believe in standing on their own two feet, with out affirmative action, social programs, etc.

    And I'm the one being called racist.....


    PS - affirmative action and certain types of welfare bother me, regardless of what most democrats think.

    My implication was that the GOP is backwards in their beliefs and therefore the crowd is largely old and white.


    Why are you and Whottt so butt hurt over the comment? It's like it struck a sensitive nerve or something.....
    I agree, they'd be better off with more forward thinking old black men.

    I'm only pointing out that it is a key reason why more blacks are democrats rather than republicans. You made the observation without a merit based assessment, which leaves it open to interpretation.

    Very true. It's sad that so many black people want to rely on government instead of standing on their own two feet.

    It's your opinion that it's the key reason.......it's my opinion that most blacks aren't Republicans because key Republican politicians like Orin Hatch and Trent Lott have made it clear they aren't to fond of black people.

    Did you pass 3rd grade by chance?

    Since when does "a reason" become "the reason?"

    I don't know what Orin Hatch statement you are referring to, but the Trent Lott statement was taken out of context. Please show me the facts behind a clear statement that they don't like blacks.

    Speaking on MSNBC, Andrea Mitc reported that, according to "people very close to Sarah Palin," she has "told her supporters that she is out of politics, period. She is fed up with politics. She doesn't like her life. She feels that she needs to raise her family. She's sick of the commute from Wasilla to the capital. And she really does not want to run for higher office, that this is not a case where she is stepping down in order to clear the way for a presidential run. In fact, she has told some of her biggest backers in the national Republican Party that they are free to choose other candidates for 2012, which of course opens new avenues for Mitt Romney, for Tim Pawlenty, for other potential candidates who are definitely in the running."

    "Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide open state."

    You're a racist, labeling others as racist based on their skin color while simulatneously claiming exception from being a racist on the basis of your own.

    What you fail to see, and if you didn't fail to see it you wouldn't have the POV you have...is that bigotry is a generalizing stereotpying mindset, regardless of your skin color, and the safeness of the target.

    You're a ing bigot, I don't care which direction it is directed or what color you are, you are still a bigot.

    Goddamn there are so many minorities and sexuals in the Decmocratic Party the DNC looks like a prison social hour.

    PS: I'm a gay minority, so therefore I have special status and clearance to make bigoted statements, and my bigotry isn't bigotry.

    I have to agree, maybe it just wasn't realistic, or maybe really this to way to -- for America -- it's not just ending a -- but it could be -- the reason she would be doing this isn't so much a -- really it's just good for all.

    Because between the media, and also how her family -- because you know, she has an infant, and not that even up to now that it would -- but sometimes you just have time to think and, about it, when you realize that it isn't just about what went on the past, and well, there's the future. And the future is bright.

    So, really to Alaskans, this isn't so much a -- well, it's really a transition, because for Alaskans, yes we know these are tough times, but those things, I really still think they'll -- not that it doesn't make a difference whether, she was a strong leader, I think.

    And your implication is wrong and you are an illiterate imbecile. Please go. This has nothing to do with your political beliefs. My God just get the out of here.

    I know these are just blogs, and time will tell if their info is correct:

    Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.
    http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7280

    Max Blumental reports on The Daily Beast that Sarah Palin may have quit her job today because she was trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal. The gist of the rumor is that an Alaska building company called Spenard Building Supplies (SBS) was awarded a contract by Palin to build a hockey arena in Wasilla, AK, and in return, SBS helped construct Palin’s home:

    Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide open state.

    SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin’s snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice’s Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004.

    Though Todd Palin told Fox News he built his Lake Lucille home with the help of a few “buddies,” according to Barrett’s report, public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house. While serving as mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin blocked an initiative that would have required the public filing of building permits—thus momentarily preventing the revelation of such su ious information.

    Just months before Palin left city hall to campaign for governor, she awarded a contract to SBS to help build the $13 million Wasilla Sports Complex. The most expensive building project in Wasilla history, the complex cost the city an addition $1.3 million in legal fees and threw it into severe long-term debt. For SBS, however, the bloated and bungled project was a cash cow.

    Alaska bloggers have reported in recent weeks that “a long simmering embezzelment/IRS scandal is still being looked at by the feds.” In her press conference today, Palin asked the public to “trust me with this decision and know that it is no more politics as usual.” But she also bemoaned “political operatives” who have “descended on Alaska” to investigate “all sorts of frivolous ethics violations.” Palin said this “politics of personal destruction” was one of the key motivating factors behind her decision today.

    Well, so far, everything else negative about her has been slander. I will start by assuming this is also.

    It could be a reason why she is stepping down early, and announced she is out of politics. She is now a target, and the left has been relentless at destroying her. I can understand if that's the reason. Just wish she'd stay and fight.

    No wonder all politicians are puppets and crooked. The good ones are harassed and slandered to the point they can only defend themselves and don't have time to do their job.

    Hope you lefties are proud. I think those of you who have helped slander this woman are the skum of the earth.

    "same wood, same windows, same product"

    That's a pretty weak connection. I'd image Wasilla is small enough to the point where there's only a handful of builders.
