And racist...Yes, John, they're completely nuts. And racist. As I said above, I'm more and more convinced that racism is the underlying problem here.<br /><br />Is it just coincidence that we see this kind of thing with the election of our first black president? I don't think so.<br /><br />By deliberately wooing racists, Republicans have lost African-Americans and Hispanics. They're losing Asian-Americans, women, and the young.<br /><br />Republican leaders are in a bind. They sought to <i>use</i> racists (and fundamentalists and other crazies) to give tax cuts to the rich. But the crazies have taken control of the party. Now what do they do?<br /><br />The hysteria about Barack Obama is both a result of filling the party with racists and a recognition that they've painted themselves into a corner and can't get out.<br /><br />Wooing racists gave the Republican Party a <i>lot</i> of power in recent decades. Now, they see that power dwindling, and they just can't stand it.<br /><br />Barack Obama, our first black president, is the symbol of that - the symbol of their hysterical fear and impotent anger. They can't help acting on that, just like Republican candidates can't help talking about sluts and 'legitimate' rape. It just slips out.<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379287241318002122.post-24478236200620432912015-03-10T14:47:45.121-05:002015-03-10T14:47:45.121-05:00Everytime I think they can't get crazier. Wow,...Everytime I think they can't get crazier. Wow, just wow! <br /><br />I mean they didnt have any trouble when Bush started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but now they are fighting peace with Iran. Are they completely nuts!<br /><br />And Joe Biden's letter was spot on, they are making America look like a bunch of idiots on the world stage.Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.com
