Ergo, this is not about race at all. It's just a two-faced means of expressing a dislike for the GOP.
Of course, it's about race. How many liberals in this thread used the term Uncle Tom? That's a racist remark, and they think they're the non-bigoted ones. Some of the most prolific racists cry racism, and they look like fools for it.
Even though we all have to share this ride called life, partisans/progressives (regressives) have no intention of making it a pleasant journey.
I heard that in 2004 about the democrats and called BS back then.
Frankly, Obama's solid win over a pretty crappy candidate in Romney is about the only bright spot I can see. Otherwise, since 2010 the reps have taken something like a net of 50 house seats...and the 2014 Senate elections are going to almost certainly be a loss of seats for the dems the way things are shaping up.
I'm curious how you've reached your conclusion here in 2013? Just Obama's win? Congressional elections? Governorships?
Great news, may it foretell a new age for the vast majority of African Americans, who automatically vote Democrat to the tune of 95%.
Another one wakes up from the progressive nightmare and walks off the Democrat Plantation. Well done, Senator Guillory.
Guillory said the biggest disappointment for him has been the party’s role in the breakdown of families.
“Their support of dependency over self-reliance, of everything but traditional marriage, of abortion on demand, their policies have encouraged the high teen birth rates, high school drop out rates, high incarceration rates and very high unemployment rates,” Guillory said. “Our self-initiative and self-reliance are sacrificed in exchange for votes for the party of disappointment.”
“The list of disappointments is long,” Guillory said, noting “the lies and cover-up at Benghazi, the IRS harassing the tea party and wiretapping and spying on reporters.”
It's always newsworthy when an African American politician throws off the shackles of liberalism to embrace the American dream, individualism, and personal responsibility.
SO says the party that wants to tell us who may or may not get married, or what type of sex I can have in My bedroom, what I can listen to on radio or watch on tv etc.etc..
So a politician who thinks that the only way to keep his job is to change parties. So what was that guy in Pa's name again. Oh yeah another guy in Conn. he did the same thing.

Hey, I'm a gay marriage supporter and while the most vocal opposition is republican, there are a lot of dems against it too.
As for the other items, you really tripped my BS detector because I remembered Tipper Gore and Hillary going after those things in particular. How can you not remember Tipper Gore taking on music ratings etc?
I'd at least consider voting for Justin Amash for Senate, from what I know of him so far.

1.Think carefully about (something), typically before making a decision and then voting straight ticket anyway.
