1. She gives them cover and makes them feel like they can say...

...they are not racists, after all.

P.S., besides, they know it will never happen, so it's a cheap way for them to look "open-minded" without actually having to be so.

9. You Forgot Sexist, Too...
They like those "minorities" that serve their purposes...bleached and lobotomized.

4. Her statements would make her good at it
One day one thing and one day another. That is par for our Presidents. Then saying they did not say it.

5. No they don't.. They are just mouthing the "faux outrage"
that they have been told to. The repubes "pretend" to support Condi, but you know in their hearts that they would NEVER support a black candidate for president.. and certainly not a black woman.

It's the briar patch tactic.. They toss things like this out there so that when a Dem disagrees, the repube can then accuse the Dem of being sexist or racist..

It's just more gamesmanship.. Like No Child Left Behind.. We know it's crap, but when people talk against it, the natural "spin".....Well, you must hate children and WANT them left behind :puke:

10. And then these are the same people who tell voters from minority areas...
...in FL and OH to "get over it" when their votes haven't been counted.

7. Leave them alone!
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 07:31 AM by AG78
Geez. Don't you people know you have to leave them alone so they can do their job of protecting America? They're elected officials! Once they get in, they're not accountable to we the people. Those Iraqi's will be over here if not for Bush. Leave the President alone!

Now, if it's a blowjob and losing money on a land deal...that's different!

14. Exactly! 9.11 changed everything...
Just because Dr. Rice was in charge of national security when millions of New Yorkers were running through the streets for their lives, doesn't mean we should question her competence.

Just because team Bush has bungled national security every time, doesn't mean we should question their competence.

Team Bush is not to blame for any mistake! They do not even make mistakes! 9.11 was a great success, the people who died that day are just sore losers and bush bashers. And their families are unpatriotic.

Republicans are great!

11. I'll bet MOST of these people would never have dreamed of the day
they would advocate for a black woman for Prez...shows you how much in denial these bigots are.

My only conclusion is that they admire liars. The bigger the lie, the better.

12. They love the 'you must be racist' argument.
It's the you're either with us or against us game...so if you're not for her, you must be racist.

13. How many of us have...
1. Called CSPAN Journal?
2. Gotten through.

The freepers are always in queue. Most democrats and independents who get on the air ask softball questions.

Time for some hard questions to the guests and/or well crafted "on-topic" editorial statements when there is no guest.
