The Republicans are mean at worst and insensitive at best. Look at their leading pundits: Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, O'Reilly. Here is the 800 lb Gorilla in the room few will talk about. And the subject Dale Baker banned me for just bringing up!! Tells you something about Dale Baker's philosophy! In 1980 Reagan developed his "Southern Strategy" which picked up the disafected southern racists who could not gain their objectives with a third party of dixiecrats, so they took the hand Reagan offered to them. The south being so upset with having integration forced on them by the dems (Kennedy's;) and were so angry with the dems, they bolted the party led by Strom Thurmon and ran a third party. First Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms and later George Wallace. But it was a very cynical, and mean strategy the Republicans had developed appealing and encouraging the very worst in people to get votes. And they have continued their divide and concouer policy ever since. And let us look at that issue more carefully. Why did not even one state in the south have a simple majority that said: " wait, this segregation law is not only wrong it is outragous". It was outragous (and very very very stupid and mean!) to make people of a different color live with the yoke of tryanny around their neck. For no reason whatsoever. That postion is clearly indefensible. As we understand today! So what were the people in the south thinking? Or not thinking. Where was that southern hospitality everyone talks about? And much of that imbecilic racism still pervades the south. And now the Republcian's have moved on to a new issue to divide Americans. They can no longer overtly support racism or even sexism as well, so now they engage in gay bashing. Which IMO is exactly like racisim just a tad more sophisticed to understand. The Republicans probably won the 2004 election by gay bashing. Wanting to pass a constitutional ammendment to prevent gay marriage and forcing dems to denounce it. I have a zillion gay freinds and they just want to live their lives like everyone else. Free of prejudice, free of ostrazism and free to be full open members of society with the rights all of us enjoy. Like loving their partner! Gay bashing is so stupid and so mean it really pisses me off-lol. Everyone wants to marry the person they love. What is wrong with Republcians that they can neither see this simple truth, or the pain and suffering they are causing; and would actully go out of their way to hurt people who have done nothing to them? It amazes me anyone would vote Republican. It is a barbaric party!
