The Republicans.

So. I'm just curious.

How is it that after a RESOUNDING win in the 2010 election, the GOP tossed Michael Steele out the window and put Reince Priebus in the chair but after getting their butts handed to them in 2012, Priebus was able to hang on to the chair?

I think that Michael Steele was more talented but he wanted the party to shift positions and get more politically flexible than the actual party was comfortable with. The new guy just pounds away on the same ol', same ol', regardless of effectiveness. And that's how the party is, so it's fine.

Having lived in the south I have never seen a Blackman handling the money in a white owned business, sure the black person can take your order, make the food and clean up after you but they cannot touch the money that is the white persons job.

Last time I was in Alabama for business I was at BBQ joint and the white person sat on their ass opening the register and all the blacks were working thier ass off.

The white person did not even talk to the guests unless they knew them, they just took the money.

This occurred 2 years ago in Huntsville, AL

White folks in the GOP don't like giving money to people of color,
it is just the inherent racism of the south and GOP
