So it's official. The GOP 2014 campaign theme will be racism, pure and simple

Fear and hatred of brown people, sprinkled in with their standard hatred of the black man in the White House.

It's all they have at this point. The openly racist jackboots are overtaking the more closeted racists in the GOP, they don't even pretend to hide their racism anymore.

They've been hiding it so well for so long. It's good to see them finally express their feelings. Don't be ashamed, don't hide it, flaunt it! Oh yeah, did I forget to say SARCASM.

it pretty much would be 'official' if they choose him:

Sessions promises to bring tea party ethos to leadership

Promising to be a hard-charging salesman for the Republican Party and a voice for House conservatives who have clashed with the current leadership, Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas campaigned Wednesday afternoon to be the next House majority leader, holding several private meetings and nearly sprinting through the Capitol to shake hands with his colleagues.
...
Sessions is aggressively pitching himself as the harder-edged conservative alternative to McCarthy, an easygoing Californian associated with efforts led by Cantor to modernize and at times moderate parts of the Republican message on immigration reform and fiscal strategy. Sessions said he would fight to have a proudly right wing conference with a message on immigration is “border security, border security, and border security.”

“I was an original member of the tea party caucus and I understand those issues,” Sessions said. “In the era of Barack Obama, our country is at risk. We need to look back to the Constitution and work within that.”
