GOPer: Ranchers Should Shoot 'Wetbacks' Crossing Border Illegally

A Republican Senate candidate argued to The Dallas Morning News editorial board earlier this month that ranchers in Texas should be allowed to shoot "w*tbacks" trying to cross the border illegally.

The candidate, Chris Mapp, who is running in the Republican primary against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), also called President Barack Obama "a socialist son of a b*tch," according to the Morning News editorial board.

In a separate interview with the San Antonio Express-News on Friday, Mapp defended his remarks saying "w*tback" is as "normal as breathing air in South Texas."

Let's not forget Colin Powell's, "There's a vein of intolerance in the Republican Party". Who is representative of the GOP on this board? Let's see, Hispanophobes, racists (even if they don't overtly say it, many of their posts do have racial undertones), and kooks. No wonder.

I couldn't care less. How's it worked out for minorities otherwise? Still looks like they're hurtin' to me.

As long as outreach means the same thing to Rinse Privates as it does to Democrats, as in "to pander," then nothing they do or say will matter.

Minorities need to shed their stigma about conservatism and embrace it to get ahead in life.

The DNC will only keep them as constituents in order to keep them voting for them.

Conservative outreach to the atheist community was extremely short-lived.

Here's The Text Of The Bill That Would Ban Gay Football Players From The NFL

The Republican lobbyist promising to introduce a bill banning gays from the National Football League unveiled the text of that legislation on Thursday.

The bill, titled "The American Decency Act of 2014," would make it illegal for "self-declared homosexual football players" to join an NFL team unless it "provides facilities for homosexual players which are entirely separate and distinct from the facilities used by heterosexual players." A violation of that provision would result in a fine between $3 million and $8 million.
