GOP, there's your red meat issue. They have no fucking platform, so it's more fearmongering, race baiting, xenophobia and jingoism!

I called it this time last year!!!

Here's the chimp waxing idiotically. Get your GOP membership card and your klan hood all in one fell swoop!

1. Yea....but they fucked up like they always do...

I grew up in San Antonio which has a large Hispanic population....they have problems like every other group...but they are very family oriented and community oriented as we witnessed during the marches.....

they put up with the bullshit of * speaking shitty Spanish worse than he speaks English.....Well they are going to get out the vote and I gotta a feeling they won't be voting R....The repugs are openly and in a racist way attacking the Hispanic community...

These assholes can multi-task.

4. Immigrants, gays, abortions, all those hot button issues that

are so much more important than spying on Americans, the war in Iraq, the criminals in the wh and the Congress and their dirty deeds, and the future response to hurricanes; yep, their fingers are right where they belong. :sarcasm:

5. I have to say that if any Latino or Gay person

votes republican they should be locked away, sent back over the border, or just whipped until they repent.

GOD! When are these people going to see that the republican party only cares about you if you're filthy rich?

17. Amen!

I don't get it. What in this world could gays, latinos, blacks and other minorities be thinking when they vote republican?

The purest intent of the GOP is to blame everything on the poor, the minorities, those who they feel are a burden both religiously and socially.

I guess they just want to fit. To me they're like the children who constantly need their parents approval and if they don't get it, they do everything possible for that parent, act like that parents wants them to act, say what those parents want them to say, just to be accepted.

SAD! PATHETIC!

6. Erecting bogeymen is popular with politicians of both parties.

I'm sure we'll soon here about the threat that Gay immigrants pose to "traditional American Family Values".

And, the suckers will buy them the same way they have with all the past bogeymen.

7. Why are we playing in to their agenda?

Edited on Fri May-19-06 08:26 PM by DianeG5385

We did the same thing in 2004. We need to call them on this BS so the average American sees this for the ploy it is...A NON-ISSUE set up for emotional resonance to MASK the real issue, their utter incompetence. When they pull this, we need to respond that we don't need GOP control because they've made such a mess of things Americans really care about, and talk our agenda. Had Enough??? If you want more of the same vote GOP.

9. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Our cowardly whore politicians are >

fanning the flames of fascism. I thought (hoped?) it was just the PNACers/Bushistas.

It's clear to me now that this IS the zeitgeist; that the war against gays and immigrants is just what America wants. Or what it'll take laying down, at least.

14. Guess you haven't heard about the anti-gay hearings...

in the Senate. They are wanting to start the Constitutional amendment process against any unconventional civil unions.

20. No, no, no. It's the War On Christianity.

Bill Frist said it on CNN the other night so it must be true.
