    That many in the GOP don't see it that way is a problem and of itself.

    Ryan, to his credit has realized that his "makers and takers" spiel is horribly condescending.

    Not that I would vote for him, but he did move the needle with the previews that I read in his book.
    "many in the GOP don't see it that way is a problem" but those "many" won't vote out the Repugs that do see it that way.

    Paul and his handlers know we must must move to center to get elected, like by ghost-writing a carefully dishonest book incompatible with his many years of bull , but moving to center is not in the direction the Repugs have been, are moving.

    I can't find any history that RP has been providing free eye care abroad, so I consider this trip to Guatemala nothing but a campaign/publicity stunt. As an isolationist, I'm sure he's all for reducing/killing US foreign aid (that isn't military aid, even he won't touch the MICs honeypots).

    Any needle moving has been by default since there's nobody else in the Repug field, which says how fantastically WEAK the entire Repug field is nationally, including RP.

    The GOP's Worst Race-baiting Ad Since Willie Horton



    In the race for Nebraska's second congressional district, Republicans have just put up a new television spot that seems like Willie Horton all over again—or Willie Horton 2.0.

    The ad shows an image of Bradford next to a picture of Nikko Jenkins, who was imprisoned for armed robbery and assault but then was released under a Nebraska law that allows early release for good behavior; Jenkins went on to murder multiple people.

    The ad blames Bradford for not restricting the Nebraska law that allows early release, and by extension seems to place blame on him for the murders.

    And of course, the imagery of Bradford, next to a black, tattoo-adorned black convict is the money shot – its racial connotations are immediately obvious in a state where only about five percent of the population is black.

    http://www.alternet.org/election-201...-willie-horton

    The RNC must run this ad, for ONE DISTRICT!, because NEBRASKA is so dangerously PURPLE!

    ok, ok, you rednecks want to claim that the Repugs "aren't assholes", but all y'all's politicians are SURELY racist.

    Also, almost-moderate-on-immigration McLiar has mostly admitted Repug xenophobia/racism has now totally destroyed any hope for immigration reform.

    Yeah, Republicans are the racists...

    Black Republicans break barriers: Mia Love and Tim Scott win big

    Meanwhile, back on the Democrat Plantation...

    Are African Americans Abandoning Democratic Party?

    African-Americans seem to finally be waking up to the fact they've been used and abused by the Democrat Party for decades

    A few steppin fetchit Uncle Tom's who figured out they could be the racist Repugs token blacks, yep, that's really flipped the racist Repugs into black-hugging Repugs.

    What have the Repugs done, plan to do, to help blacks?

    cut pollution around black communities?

    decriminalize mj, the cops' favorite tool for "n!gg@ fryin" ?

    increase the federal minimum wage?

    pass the VAWA?

    keep/expand school breakfast/lunch support?

    protect child health insurance?

    expand pre-K?

    expand medicaid?

    yes, the Repugs are fantastic supporters, protectors, enrichers of non-white, non-wealthy non-Euro-Americans.

    Repugs are the party of racists, period. The Repug base is the racist Confederacy and racist rural WHITEs.

    and what have Dems done to "abuse" blacks?

    Is that Nikko Jenkins or not? If it is then what are you possibly complaining about

    “It’s symbolic annihilation of history, and it’s done for a purpose. It really enforces white supremacy”: Edward Baptist on the lies we tell about slavery

    Edward Baptist on horrifying truth that we memorialize Confederate soldiers and not Americans who died enslaved

    there were profits, of course, and large ones. Slavery, after all, is a cost-efficient way to extract labor from human beings. It’s an exceptionally brutal flavor of capitalism. And it worked: In 1860, the U.S.’s four wealthiest states were all in the deep South. After the Civil War, though, white Americans found ways to downplay the profit motive. “Above all, the historians of a reunified nation insisted that slavery was a premodern ins ution that was not committed to profit seeking,”

    Baptist traces the flow of human capital from the Atlantic seaboard to the cotton fields of the deep South. He describes how slavers used whippings to extract more work from their property. He details how slave labor and loans secured with human collateral helped drive the industrial revolution.

    These observations aren’t new. Baptist’s real achievement is to ground these financial abstractions in the lives of ordinary people. In vivid passages, he describes the sights, smells and suffering of slavery. He writes about individual families torn apart by global markets. Above all, Baptist sets out to show how America’s rise to power is inextricable from the suffering of black slaves.

    and we have right here on ST right-wing assholes who claim the Civil War wasn't about slavery!

    I'm going to take a stab, and guess you aren't familiar with the particular areas of Houston the guy was referring to.

    Mr. Scott was appointed rather specifically by the Governor to replace Jim DeMint, and ran against a mostly inactive opponent in the primary.

    Window dressing given overall minority participation in the GOP, but a good first step.

    Wake me up when the GOP picks him to run for president, winning active primaries against the rich white guys, and token Palins.

    Democrats should not take the black vote for granted, but I would hardly call them "abused", spin-boy.

    I believe "abused" were their words, not mine.

    Here's another example from another black Democrat "Uncle Tom" (as Boutons would call him) in another state, Ohio.



    "I understand what the focus is, that you want to have people together so you can manage them like they’re on a plantation. That’s just unacceptable. It’s insulting to my intelligence. It’s insulting to the people who honor me with the opportunity of serving a community and serving in the Ohio House of Representatives. You can’t have a process where you tell people, ‘You’re black, you go over here.’ It’s almost telling me I have to go in the back door of a restaurant."

    Again, his words - not mine.

    LOL Tu Quoque.

    Keep 'em coming.

    Maybe you could get Mr. Scott a committee chair:


    Or put him next to the new incoming senate majority leader like Boener did with this group:

    “My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico… and had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.”
    To which a rejoinder from an actual Latino:

    “It’s not about being a Latino that would make Romney a better candidate,” Gonzalez said. “Latinos, and all Americans, look at the substance of a candidate’s proposals to determine who is the better candidate and who best represents the priorities of their community.

    To be clear:

    Not all Republicans are slobbering neo-nazi's.

    What is most definitely there is a rather subtle undercurrent, a result of the Southern strategy.

    I might have posted that here before.

    If not for those interested:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

    Although the phrase "Southern strategy" is often attributed to Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, he did not originate it,[13] but merely popularized it.[14] In an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, he touched on its essence:

    From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.[2]

    The Gonzales quote is crap. You could stop any 20 people on the street and they would not know the substance of what a candidate stands for. That goes for Republicans or Democrats, minorities and non-minorities. Romney was wrong because being a minority in the Republican party does not guarantee you votes from whatever minority one belongs. Rubio running for office would not guarantee him Mexican-American votes.
