Rosie - Newt should read a history book

[Stephanie]

Amazing really that a major political party can survive in this century with such an abysmal record of inclusiveness. The party of old white men is moving to a smaller and smaller tent. If anything, they are becoming more restrictive as they push out a once loyal Hispanic population.

omg, you can't FORCE people to come into a party. why black people are in the Democrat party after they proudly elected a grand wizard of the kkk, is beyond me.
pandering does wonders I guess.

In EIGHTY years? Three Republicans?

You think it might have to do with the fact republicans have a poor history of electing black republicans to power.

Naw. Can't be that.

"can't force people to a party" - Gawd. Do you folks even hear yourselves?

take a breath dear. we know you all are proud of owning black people. you have to list them for all to see.

President Obama

d'uh...

Just giving him the titles is just as good as if he actually earned them.

It's kind of like when they gave the Scarecrow a diploma. The Wizard meant it as sarcasm, but Dems think that should be policy.

I would be more impressed with him as editor (not president) of the Harvard Law Review if we could see something he wrote and evaluate it.

He never wrote anything. In this instance at least, nothing is being hidden or covered up. He never wrote anything.

"Law students elected to the prestigious Harvard Law Review spend two years working there. In their first year, most write the brief, anonymous "case comments" like Obama's, which bears the unwieldy heading: TORT LAW - PRENATAL INJURIES - SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE CAUSE OF ACTION BROUGHT BY FETUS AGAINST ITS MOTHER FOR UNINTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF PRENATAL INJURIES.


Obama's tenure at the Review has been chronicled at length in the Politico, the New York Times, and elsewhere."

A fine example of the "color blind" GOP LGS was bragging about.

Like I said: The fact you think that noting those who were elected to Federal Office and achieved that proud status means they are OWNED, tells us all we need to know about you, dearie.

Republicans putting their heads in the sand and pretending that racism does not exist or that it has a significant role in their party is laughable.

Conservatives don't walk around looking for a color coded book on how or what to think about a person based upon their race. We believe in INDIVIDUALITY, not collectivism. Liberalism is the wart on the ass of society and American's have come to realize in LARGE numbers that liberalism is failure at the government level. Say goodbye.. your voices are merely a nuisance now, nothing more.

Sure they do.

If that is the case, why is it that the Republican Party has only elected six blacks to major offices in the last 50 years? Their record of nominating and electing black republicans is abysmal. Sure, race doesn't matter to Conservatives.......but they will be damned if they will vote for one

You mean other than the United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, or Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff Colin Powell, just to name a few right off the top in recent history?

How many minorities did Democrats have holding political positions in comparison, or is this a one sided argument?

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Typical conservative

Blame liberals because you won't elect black republicans. Over 80% of the voters are white, more than enough to elect a black republican if the only consideration was qualifications and character.
The fact is, Conservative America will not vote for a black candidate. They never have.

I don't have to do anything.. Facts speak volumes. We don't look to a specific skin color and decide to run that candidate.. We look to that individual.. Color doesn't matter to conservatives.. Just because you leftists are completely unhinged over color, doesn't mean we are.. Hell, we don't even care if you call us racists any longer.. that boat sailed long ago.. LOL

That's funny.

I imagine it is to the party of Race obsession.

Uh huh. What happened to Hermann?

Oh yeah, that was somehow our fault too, huh?

No matter, he wouldn't have won the nomination anyways.

None have been elected. Being appointed and confirmed by congress is not the same as going out and expecting racist conservatives to vote for you.

What does how the other side treats your candidate have to do with Republicans nominating and voting for blacks? Five in seventy years shows how Republicans feel about voting for people of other races.

omg. black white pink blue. you people are OBSESSED with people's SKIN COLORS.
now being WHITE and voting white is becoming a sin. you all couldn't get any smaller and petty as human beings.

 

[NoNukes]

When it comes to race, Conservatives sure talk the talk..

Race does not matter to us, we vote on character and qualifications, we are color blind.......

But in terms of actually voting for black candidates, they don't walk the walk. In the last 50 years, Republicans have elected ONE Senator or Governor....just ONE and that was in the 1960s. Out of thousands of elected Republicans.....they only found ONE that had the proper character or qualifications over a white person

That is a total embarrassment for a major political party in the 21st century and once again shows how the election of a black president in 2008 was a significant event in this country

Excuse me.. Any black candidate that states he's a conservative is automatically labeled by the "LEFT ENLIGHTENED PC CROWD" as an Uncle Tom and is immediately destroyed. Don't even try it. No one buys in to your crap Right.

yep, and they accuse them of abandoning (THEIR people)

You two are wrong and should learn to only speak for yourselves.

Just giving him the titles is just as good as if he actually earned them.

It's kind of like when they gave the Scarecrow a diploma. The Wizard meant it as sarcasm, but Dems think that should be policy.

obamie pos. didn't really win anything, it was handed to him on the expectation he would produce peace.. how's that working out for ya??? it's like a premature ejaculation and I bet they wish they could take it back cause look what it gave birth to..

More racism from the right.
