Pretty funny how Ms. Rossi popped right up spouting exactly the same kind of drivel that was highlighted in that article. Hang in there, Robin and Rush, never change! We're counting on you in 2014!
(Um, is this where I should insert some really offensive and juvenile bathroom humor insult like Robin does?)
That was one boring babble-thon. I couldn't finish it. I heard the show by Limbaugh when it aired, and found it also to be a babble-thon--and I am a fan of Limbaugh.
50 years ago the Democrats made the decision to become the champions of oppressed minorities--especially blacks. They deserve credit for it. Conservatives were largely dragged along, grudgingly. Now 50 years later, the shoe is on the other foot. There is more racism coming out of the left than right now. Look at the Spencer Ackerman case, or for that matter the false (according to Snopes) racist quotes that lefties tried to pin on Rush Limbaugh. It's racism in a different form, but still racism in the service of partisan advantage.
But there is still the inertial perception that R's are the party of racism. R's just need to work to turn that perception around. We can do it by embracing a tactic that many R's mistakenly regard as a dirty word: affirmative action. We need to support and promote the Mia Loves, Allen Wests, and Susana Martinezes. Work long and hard enough and the perception will change. It's either that, or die as a party, when 70+ pct. of one quarter of the electorate is voting Democrat.
Republicans believe that every life is valuable. Democrats don't. So get the vacuum out.
* Why do repubs oppose universal health care? Why do you support life-for-profit, corporate death panels and denial of coverage, life only for those who can afford it?
* Why is the fetus more worthy of life than the child? Why is birth a "right" but life afterwards a "responsibility" and in the hands of corporations?
* Why do conservatives gladly go to war, sacrificing the lives of fighting men and women, for corporate profit and/or personal revenge?
No, you do not believe "every life is valuable". That is just a disingenuous platitude.
