Especially when their presidential candidates are working so hard on the message of peace, love, and brotherhood.

That would be odd. They already have the Red State Republicans in their camp.

and a couple of the largest national labs, Los Alamos and Sandia. The latter are doing great research outside the MIC laundry list of how to best deal death and will eventually return most of the investment back to the rest of us.

Same old party. To each his own. There are a lot of people who prefer wealthy candidates, me I prefer candidates who would walk up to a ditch digger and hug that person even without cameras around.

social status. The wealthy never had a problem with blacks as long as they were wealthy. The poor R's can't even see their own prejudice. They put up a picture of wealthy black businessmen and think that will entice the common black person to join. My grandaddy told me as a kid that there were even black landowners in the south that owned slaves. So I don't think that the tactic that Durham is trying will increase their black enrollment.

Seems to be a lot of "duhs" floating around.

Thanks for grabbing this, elf. It will take a rightful place along side of "Get a brain, morans."
