Cornyn, Steele Call on Reid to Resign as Senate Leader After Obama 'Negro' Comment

They call for his resignation some two years after the comment was actually made? Oh the urgency.

Ahh, so there is a statute of limitations for these types of things?

I guess It's okay to tell "Negro Jokes" ... just so long as everyone keeps it quite for two years.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Does noone else feel that way too much attention is given to these things and not enough to the pressing issues of the day.

If people are indeed concerned about healthcare or the state of the economy, why is noone having a conversation about that?

From Game Change, by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. This snipit recounts a quote from Bill Clinton about Obama as he tried to persuade Teddy Kennedy to support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign (page 218):

"Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee."

The ** party was the elitist, pro-slavery and segregation party for a long time. They are still elitists. The apples don't fall far from the tree.

I don't think that anyone is or should be under the illusion that politicians are "nice" people. Ambitious, egocentric people frequently aren't.

HOw come every time some democrat gets caught either speaking his true thoughts concerning race or perhaps dribbling semen down the dress of a chubby twenty year old intern, we are always too hard pressed by the "issues of the day" to stop and examine this person?

NOw that you mention it GH, this could be a "Democrat defense mechanism".

-Get in office, screw things up and when caught doing things like...oh I don't know, cheating on taxes, running gay prostitution rings from home or any other such annoyances... we just point to the bad shape the country is in and say "How can you be concerned about such trivial matters at a time like this?"

*not a bad plan

Firstly, I'm not a Democrat so I have no incentive to defend them in any way whatsoever.

Secondly, I believe I've always said that the media puts inordinate emphasis on ####### like this to the detriment of other things.

Not that I should have to justify my opinion to you, or have it twisted into something completely other than what I said.

With all due respect Mr Danno - ┌∩┐(◣..◢)┌∩┐

... but if their politics are right-on then you can work with um huh GH?

I hear yah.

I'm more interested in policies than in recorded public statements. So should you be. Shame on you that you aren't.
