The 113th Congress is the Most Diverse in History!

[Seawytch]

Everybody give a warm welcome to the 113th...now more representative of America itself!

• 4 new African American representatives
• 10 new Latinos
• 5 new Asian Americans
• 24 women in the House or Senate
• 2 Hindu congresspeople
• The first Buddhist senator
• The first non-theist to openly acknowledge her belief prior to getting elected
• 4 new LGBT congresspeople or senators, including the first openly bisexual congresswoman and the first openly gay congressman of color
• 4 new congressmen born in the 1980s.

Now, lets hope they don't engage in Obama's divisive tribalism.

Now we get to watch the party of the 'big tent' appoint committee chairs in the House of Representatives. If the GOP, if Boehner and Cantor get it, we will not see only white-men in such important positions.

You want 'chairs' dolled out by skin color and sexual preference, don't you?

Do you really think America can survive your tribalism?

Its the politics of what you are trumping the politics of who you are.

Wry Catcher argues that a guy who sucks a cock is better qualified for a Committee Chairmanship than someone else - solely based on his being a cocksucker.

this country will be able to heal now.


republicans will NEVER again win any elections by race baiting low information white voters

And we all know that "diversity" is a good thing, right?

Wrong.

Who wants to take bets on how long before one of the new "diverse" freshmen is under an ethics investigation?

I thought the planet healed and the oceans fell 4 years ago?

These "chairs" were not "doled out" but fought for and won...by more women and minorities than ever before which means our elected representatives now more closely resemble the electorate. This is a good thing. Of course if your party is made up of nothing but old white men it probably looks really scary.

Why?

Why should "diversity"be good in and of itself?

You just changed the question. Nice try. Answer the first one and we'll talk.

Because he is a racist.

There needs to be a "calling X racist" equivalent to Godwins law, where the user automatically loses the argument.

Yeah, wait in line. Calling some one a "commie/socialist" comes first.

I try to avoid commie/socialist. I prefer statist, which describes most modern progressives perfectly.

LOL, you're not only not very bright you're so partisan you've become ridiculous. We live, moron, in a multi-cultural blended society. To suggest that diversity of race, ethnicity, religion and gender is tribal is absurd. A dozen white-men in white shirts, red, white and blue ties and an American Flag in their lapel might as well be called a gang.
