I will, however, admit they're using cut-outs and false fronts to create a layer of deniability. Will you?
Both sides do

Lies, Lies and More Lies. I could not care less that they complain about President Obama's policies, so long as they stick to the Facts, ALL the Facts, but we all know that it will not happen. Cannot wait for the next set of conspiracy theories, they are always so much fun to discredit, but I sure wish they woud get some new material, the Birther and Martial Law "stuff" is no longer funny or even entertaining.

Yep. He is the reason why I had to sell my property in Arizona with a great view of the ocean.

Yet, I am confused wrt to your response. What does that have to do with me agreeing with what seems to be a conservative poster? I to am a conservative, though a minority (unusual I know). I was just pointing out that a lot of minorities play the victim. Being a minority has never hampered my success. I am where I am in life do to my own being and drive. I am a SR. HRIS Programmer/Analyst for a fairly large Electric Utility.

I have never felt that anyone has kept me down nor hindered my career or life. Sure, I have experienced racism. Funny thing is, that most of the racism I have experienced has come from the left of the political spectrum. You do not know how many times I have been talked down to or questioned how I could be a minority and a conservative. I believe that the Dems do not exactly align with most minority viewpoints.
What do you make of comments made by Gingrich and Santorum (and plenty of others) regarding black people? Do you think that the GOP panders to bigots?

I can see why a black person would vote Republican -- there is no rule written that they have to be single-issue voters, but on the issue of race, I think it's pretty clear which party embraces mulitculturalism and which party would like to see a lily white future.

The fact that the base appears to be increasingly bat-sh*t crazy.

Religious nuts hate two kinds of people with their guts...
1- Religious nuts of a different religion
2- Atheists

Ron Paul must belong in one of them.

I don't support Gingrich or Santorum. So that tells you what I think. FTR, I am not black. I don't think the Dem party embraces multi-culturalism as much as it does pandering to the minority population.
