Why would you accuse me of having "racial issues" for pointing out historical facts? My whole point is that people of all races and religions should be given a shot at the nomination.

The Democrats are not much better (since they still block out non-Christians), but they at least allow other races a shot at their nomination.

Wait. Historical facts do not play any role in the current political events. And these facts are irrelevant to your aforementioned remarks towards GOP.


GOP is not racist. I am not sure where you are trying to go with this KKK thing. I never heard anyone speaking in this fashion. I find it disturbing.

If we want to build a healthy nation, we must be united.

If my comments came off as elevating racial tensions, that's not my purpose. I simply want leadership that will lead us towards a day where race is no longer an issue. While the Democrats have a long way to go, they're at least heading in that direction. The GOP, on the other hand, still excludes all non-whites from their major political processes, which disturbs the educated and open minded segment of our population.
I want some facts to prove that GOP is racist. Until then, you are debasing yourself more than anything else.

If you truly care about the future of this nation, these remarks don't contribute to no whatsoever cause to better our lives!

Allan Keyes ran for President in the GOP. A couple of times. Nobody blocked him.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is an Indian (India Indian) Republican. First in the Nation.

Michael Steele first black to serve in a public Maryland Statewide Office as Lt Governor. Republican. He lost his Senate bid in 2006 barely.

etc..
and thats not mentioning cabinet positions etc.....

Point being...

You're wAy off base.

Name one non-white candidate in the 2008 GOP primaries. If you can't name any, than there's your first fact. A party that was open to all races would have AT LEAST ONE.

And McCain's quote: "I hate gooks", didn't seem to bother any GOP leaders.

There's your second fact.

The list could go on for pages, so just ask if you want a few more.

Bottom line: if you're NOT a racist and NOT a gay-hater, you wouldn't vote for a racist and gay-hating party (the GOP). There's really no way to rationalize voting for the GOP if you care about the well-being of people who don't fit the GOP-profile (Christian and white).

On top of that, the GOP also hates poor people. So if you're either poor, non-white, gay, or non-Christian, the GOP hates you.

There's too many facts to back up the above statement to bother arguing against it.

I'm not saying this to (*)(*)(*)(*) anybody off; but we should all be aware of what the GOP stands for before we allow them into office.

The GOP is the party of hate: so if you hate gays, immigrants, blacks, Asians, liberals, Muslims, women, communists, or the new hate-flavor of the week, you'll most likely cast your vote for the GOP candidate.

Do you think Obama was voted because he's non-white?

Allan Keyes.
He did worse this year then ever but he was even in one debate.

Quote:
And McCain quote: "I hate gooks".
He specifically stated he reserved that for his guards and has since reconciled with Vietnamese. Which is quit amazing since people who try to kill you then torture you for half a decade usually don't make your A list.

Sorry but that akin to slamming a Jew who survived a camp for calling a German a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). IOW worthless and exteremelly pathetic.

I'm not sure what the problem is you're referring to.
I'm simply discrediting his comments with reality.

It's funny that you mention that. Did you read this?

Quote:
Keyes was excluded from the Republican CNN/YouTube debate on November 28, 2007....
Blocked...

Quote:
In the Iowa caucuses, Keyes did not appear on any of the election totals. Keyes stated that many of the caucus locations he visited did not list him as a choice.
Blocked again.

Quote:
On March 27, 2008, Keyes' campaign website began displaying the Constitution party's logo, along with a parody of the trademarked GOP logo in the form of a dead elephant. This appeared to be an indication of Keyes' intentions to quit the Republican party and to begin officially seeking the Constitution Party's presidential nomination. On April 15, Keyes confirmed his split from the GOP and his intentions to explore the candidacy of the Constitution Party.
Although Keyes' agreed with conservatives on many issues, he was blocked by the GOP party, and finally realized it at the end. Once he realized that the party whose issues he agreed with had KKK-like tenancies, he joined the Constitution Party.

I'm fine with people who are racist supporting the party that represents their beliefs (after all, it's a free country). But let's not pretend that the GOP isn't a white supremacy party: making such a claim is either naive or deceptive, depending on your intentions.
