What else? Both parties have very rotten apples.
Funny how a 'winger would think any of those is even remotely in the same league as sex with animals and children. But I suppose when y'all have sunk down to that level, the muck starts to look pretty much the same, doesn't it...?

And let's not forget which party's been going around self-righteously attacking gays, promiscuity and infidelity, while piously preaching "abstinence", "chastity" and "family values"... yet famously violating all of said "values" on such a monumental scale that the word "hypocrisy" can't begin to do it justice!

Again, not even close. Tell it to the victims of Right Wingers Scott Roeder (killed Dr. George Tiller), Pittsburgh triple cop killer Richard Poplawski (Obama's gonna take away our guns!), and Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh (168 dead).

And that doesn't count "Dubya" ("they have WMD's!") Bush, already with over 4300 American casualties in Iraq and counting.

How is being 88% white a problem? Do you have a problem with the NBA having mostly black athletes? Do you have a problem with blacks being over-represented in the entertainment industry (per capita)?

I, for one, am not ashamed of being white. I am not a Republican because it is 88% white. The color of those in the party is not relevant..

Yeah, like maybe the party that invented the Southern Strategy:

Lee Atwater: "You start out in 1954 by saying, “nigg*r, nigg*r, nigg*r.” By 1968 you can't say “nigg*r”—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like "forced busing", "states' rights" and all that stuff."

would have spoken volumes if the GOP had embraced Michael Steele and
Colin Powell, instead of ignoring, in the case of Steele, and denigrating, in the
case of Powell. FYI, the left clearly overcame color barriers last November; if the Republicans expect to win national elections, they will have to address
whether or not they're content to let Limbaugh and Coulter speak for them.
Yeah I'm sure the Democratic Party overcame the color barriers, it must have happened after all the racist campaign ads 0bama and the democrats falsely predicted would be coming from McCain and the RNC. Or maybe they over came the color barrier after the democrats stopped complaining that 0bama was not black enough, or had no slave blood. Wait a tic, it must have been after Bill Clinton claimed that 0bama's campaign pulled the race card on him.

Like I said, democrats wallow in racial bigotry and can never get off race as a wedge issue, or even as an opportunity to start a thread in these here forums.

And there you go reinforcing the wallowing in race, by claiming the republicans need to embrace Powell and Seele, simply because they have dark skin.
