1. That's par for the course for those young Republicans. Useless. n/t

2. Jack Abramoff's old stomping grounds. n/t

3. I"m sure Mr LaDuca will be unavailable for comment

because he has enlisted in the US Army and is currently in Iraq fighting for the republiker causes he holds so dear.

4. But he's not a racist, as he makes the claim that he is not one

He was also the spokesperson responsible for the Affirmative Action baked sale, where they charged white people more money than the black people.

LaDuca is a senior at Kutztown University. Two years ago, Kutztown's College Republicans chapter was heavily criticized for holding a "bake sale" to protest affirmative action in which whites were charged more for cookies than blacks. LaDuca, then the group's spokesman, made a public apology on the group's behalf.

and then is this quote by LaDuche: said Monday that he regrets posting the comments and understands how they can be construed as racist. "In hindsight, when you read it a second time, it's like, 'oops,'" he said. "It was just a dumb move on my part to make a statement like that public."

I guess it's something they like to do in private.
