Do you realize that Atwater was the architect of the racist 'Willie' Horton campaign and apologized for it? The man's name was not 'Willie' but this is what he was called to sound more ethnic. If the perpetrator is going to admit the act, you don't need an historian.

Actually he did. I remember him complaining about what happened in the SC primary.

McCain has too much class to have talked about it publicly, but I tend to believe it happened, although it would no doubt have been a ploy of the classless Rove rather than Bush himself.
P.S. IMO, McCain would have made a far better POTUS than W.
But there was no evidence that Rove had anything to do with it. If you have the evidence, I'd be interested to hear it. I'm no fan of Rove. I'm even less of a fan of making s*** up about people. Supply your evidence that Rove was responsible...I'm all ears.

I have full faith if McCain's campaign manager were not telling the truth, JM would have been the first to publicly challenge the story. He didn't.
Unlike a court of law, we are ALL entitled to believe who we choose to in a he said/she said (this is analigious). If you want your beliefs to be respected, you need to respect others who believe differently than you.

OK sure, we can all believe what we wish. We can believe that he moon is made of cheese, or that David Duke is a most superior human being, but what is the evidence? Sorry but I am not going to respect such beliefs. YMMV.
The GOP has nominated and elected minority candidates all over this country and leftist trash who control the Democrat party promptly attacks them for selling out to their race or "Toming around".
I feel the same way regarding your head in the sand perception of reality.
It appears if people do not agree with you they should just give it up and not even bother to vote, or bother to discuss politics because you seem to know it all. Sorry, but that is how you come across. Can't we have a debate and try to understand "the other side" ?
I think a moderate GOP hispanic candidate can do well but both parties need to stop thinking immigration is the biggest issue for hispanics. Immigration isn't even the biggest issue for all Americans.

I was trying to. My reply was a response to his snarky reply. Now if you wish to condone what Bush did to McCain, that is your decision. I need not concur.
In general though Personally I'd like to see the GOP try to make more of an effort to win over black voters (so the Dems would have to make more of an effort to get the black vote), but I don't see it happening, there are just too many racists in the party. For every attempt to "reach out" to the black community, there's another Cliven Bundy or racist newsletter somewhere.
Plus, they need to think of something better than that tired "Republicans freed the slaves" and "MLK was a Republican" BS.
