Minorities will never really feel welcome or comfortable in the Republican clubhouse.

It makes me feel ill to think that I walk into a room full of tea-baggers or far right-wing conservatives and this is what they would automatically assume about me....just based on something like the race I was born into. How can you just casually say "minorities are this or that"??? That's a whole lot of people you're insulting all at once.
Um.. Republicans get a lot of minority votes, and the fact that you dont think minorities vote Republican is RACIST..

How do you like that? Rush made a FACTUAL statement, unlike you..

You can blame undue influence of corporations and state governments for that. You have to look at the big picture: plus those who are on welfare is a minuscule fraction of the socialist budget anyway.

People who are dependent on government for their subsistence will vote for the party that promises to keep the checks coming. It is in the politician's interests to promote and develop a dependent class of voters. They use race (and many other things) to divide us and distract us from what is really going on.

Are you honestly trying to say that you didn't at any point try to insinuate that he was a racist because he agreed with what Rush said? Seriously? Come on now, let's be honest for once....

I'm sorry, I thought this was another "Rush is a racist" thread.. If you are not claiming that wasnt the purpose of the thread, then maybe you need to clarify why you posted it..

LOL. McCain got less than 11% of the Black vote. Rush called minorities addicts, the irony, isn't he a drug addict?

Not even close to a small franction of the budget.. We have spent tens of trillions of dollars trying to end poverty in america, and all we got is more poverty..

You do realize Social Security, Medicare, etc are welfare programs right?

All I did was quote Limbaugh. People are free to interpret it anyway they want to.

He did not say they are drug addicts.

People do become used to free goodies if they receive them for a long period of time. Democrats know this and use this to their political advantage. The problem is people do not learn to take of their our needs and it hurts the country.

The country needs people to be productive - not fiscal parasites.
