Well - a black Republican just lost a congressional election.

I don't hear the liberals on this forum decrying the fact that a black person who happens to be a woman won't take a seat in the Capitol in January.

Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y?
Funny, the Republicans in Utah voted for Romney, yet they didn't vote for Mia in the same numbers. Perhaps they are the racist.

Why?

FYI - I blame Democrats - period.

Skin color is meaningless to me.

Why Democrat's make such an issue of it is a mystery.

Maybe they are just made because Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.

Ummm - Mia Love was running for a congressional district seat - you do realize that such elections involve only a few hundred thousand people at most - not an entire state, don't you?

This is one of the most asinine posts I've read on this forum, and I've been around here for a long time. Mia Llove is a Republican. If anyone could be suspected of not voting for her because of her race, it would be Republican voters.

Keep up the stupidity though. It's working out quite well in favor of Democrats, as evidenced this past Tuesday night.

Oh, that's just brilliant. You say Democrats are making an issue of skin color, yet you're the one who started this ridiculous thread.

Uhh... Republicans voters in that district voted for her because she is a Republican - and Matheson was elected by Democrats.

Is that too hard for you to comprehend?

Then you should be blaming independents, shouldn't you? Why would Democrats vote for a Republican?!

Can you possibly accept that maybe the majority just didn't agree with her positions? Or must you turn it into something about race every time things don't go your way?

The point of this thread is to point out the absurdity and hypocrisy of Democrats who play the race card.

I have made it abundantly clear throughout this thread that Mia Love's defeat was due to political ideology and not race.

I call on certain liberals and Democrats on this forum to adopt the same attitude - and to stop viewing everything through the prism of skin color.

A colorblind society is a good thing.

Considering the district has many more Republicans than Democrats, it took considerably more than just Democrats to re-elect Matheson.

I voted for a Democrat in the recent election(it was for a "non-partisan" office). She is a black woman - and was better than the white male Republican who was running against her.

Maybe you aren't as attuned to the thinking process of independents as you claim. Most independents generally support one or the other of the two political ideologies - but they vote situationally, based on known data and current circumstances.

I also voted for a Democrat back in 1998 for a statewide office here in California. I did so beause she was the better candidate. You should get over the whole "one party won't for the other" thing.

It doesn't always hold water.

Oh yes - as a Republican - I have voted for at least ten - and maybe more - women for particular offices in my 17 year voting career.

I really must "hate" women - and be "at war" with them.
