The conservatives would love more people of color to join and espouse their true views. The problem is that they have been told that conservatives are for whites only and they fall in line and do what they are told. Blacks and hispanics are more involved in their churches and consistently want safer neighborhoods and are anti abortion. Yet, they vote against these ideals because they have been told that Republicans are all racist white men. If any of them question the status quo they are vilified and ostracized. Both parties know that they will vote that way. Blacks especially vote nearly 100% devocrat. The only other people in the world like this are those who vote how they are told by dictatorships masquerading as democracies like Iraq used to be.
news flash sarah. Women have been voting for some time now. and gasp!!! some of us are actul MOM's. I don' trust Palin, i don't like her and i think that she is not a good example of a mother, or woman.
Saying that parents should teach responsibility to 12 year olds is perverse? Asking people who advocate contraception and don't believe in abstinence if they "really give your 12 year old daughters condoms and tell them "go ahead but be safe"?" is perverse?
Just what exactly is it that I have said that you consider"perverse"?
I haven't denied anything. I don't deny that I discussed the different ideas of how to approch kids about having safe sex adn abstinence. I don't have any idea at all what you think that I am denying.
12 is about the age of puberty among adolescents and is the age that they start thinking more about sex. the discussion centered around whether it made more sense to advise abstinence or contracetion and a lax attitude. What part of this do you find sexual? why can't you have an adult conversation on this topic without your mind going in the slimepit?
The GOP will soon be known as the Party of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs with Sarah "Snow White" Palin leading such GOP Dwarfs as Huckabee, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Thune, DeMint, Romney and Ron Paul. When Snow White leads, The Seven Dwarfs follow.
Mama grizzlies want their young to be refused health care if they have 'pre-existing' conditions. God, this woman is stupid and those who worship her are unconscious.

I still find it creepy that you can't have a discussion about abstinence and contraception at the age of puberty without getting some wierd sick vibe from it.
by Perish1 July 8, 2010 6:40 PM EDT If the republicans can show that illegal immigration hurts the poorest among our citizenry, Blacks and hispanics, they can turn the hispanic vote around. Hard to do when so much money is being funneled to La Raza and LULAC and such from drug interests. You didn't actually think that poor illegal immigrants funded all of this protest did you? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That is a very interesting strategy. It could be effective. It would be tough to get minorities to trust the Republicans, though. I think RECENT history has shown them that the current Republican party does not hold their interests to heart.
I don't know any recent history that you are speaking of. illegal immigrants compete for jobs and housing with the poorest and most uneducated of our citizenry. These people are already having it tough. the illegals create more gangs and gang violence in these poor neighborhoods. The poor are the most affected by that violence. It can be said that there is nothing more harmful and insensitive to our poorest balck and hispanic citizenry than to support illegal immigration.
That is a good theory, but the fact of the matter is that the Republican's cozy relationship with big business and tax cuts for the rich have hurt the poor and lower middle class. That on top of opposing increases in minimum wage, and making outsourcing all too sensible for big businesses, makes for a toxic climate for minorities. Sure, Clinton signed NAFTA, which was a horrible mistake but the last Republic-heavy 40 years has lead to a situation where minorities are given less opportunity, and there are fewer jobs. Illegal immigration is a concern, but not to the level that it is exaggerated to. It is a hot-button issue that evokes emotional reactions. That's all.
both parties are guilty of taking too much money from big business. But then again, big business means big employment. The dems are guilty of taking too much from unions which overplayed their hands against business and lost our manufacturing to cheaper labor in other countries. The only real unions anymore are gov related since the other industries are dead or dying.
Minorities are given more opportunity than others. What would make you think different? I can't speak for the top floor but the rest of most organizations is trying to give a healthy boost to minorities so that they look better. Even companies like Coca-Cola use laws like the federal contracts compliance act to do de facto affirmative action.
Tax cuts for the rich is a meaningless topic that dem politicians use to try and garner class warfare. You obviously can't cut taxes for the poor because they didn't pay any in the first place. tax cuts are a tried and true method for stimulating the economy through the private sector.
I agree that opposing increases in minimum wage is not smart politics.

Are you even capable of an adult conversation?
