I'm not offended in the least, but the word racism and Republican go in the same sentence way too often for the Republicans to just shrug this off like it is nothing. They shouldn't get themselves in situations like this in the first place.
Its like Michael Jackson getting caught with another kid, or OJ having another woman he is dating get murdered. Even if you did absolutely nothing wrong, you sure as hell look guilty.
@Kasz: Oh, you are absolutely right. Its all about the old guard wanting to keep their power within the party. But that is worthless if your party is going to keep losing election after election because you are still sitting around fantasizing about Ronald Reagan and America being a "Center-Right" nation.
If Republicans want to live in dreamland, they are going to have a rude awakening when Democrats gain even more seats in the House and the Senate.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
