Gone With the Wind to Win!
GOP Presidential candidates are so focused on throwing facts to the wind to win the hearts of the racist base of their base that they are, SHAMELESSLY, stating race-based CODED references of “poverty”, “welfare” and “civil rights” that are an INSULT to Americans of ALL races.
Rick Santorum said he “didn’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them money” in reference to food stamp and welfare programs. Santorum doesn’t even know that thanks to HIS Party’s UNFUNDED tax cuts for the wealthy and tax breaks for big corporations, there are more white individuals (38.8%) on welfare and more white individuals (34%) on food stamps than “black people”.
Mitt Romney took a few seconds from daydreaming about Marie Antoinette and belittling tax cuts for the middle class, in order to recycle a Ku Klux Klan slogan stating that he wanted to “keep America American.”
Ron Paul stated that he “wouldn’t have voted for the Civil Rights Bill” and that the Civil Rights Act is “more destructive than helpful”. If Ron Paul knew ANYTHING about the Civil Rights Act, he would know that the act doesn’t only pertain to race, it, also, prohibits discrimination on employment based on gender, religious, ethnic and national origin considerations.
Newt Gingrigh claims that “poor children in poor neighborhoods have NOBODY around them who work”. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that that “9.6 million households can be described as low-income or “WORKING poor”. It also reports that “adults in low-income working families worked on average 2,552 hours per year, the equivalent of almost ONE AND A QUARTER full time workers”.
Michele Bachman doesn’t even know that the “founding fathers” were slave owners. So, I’m not going to waste your time discussing her racist base of the base appeal!
