An example of liberal racists would be the people who decided to prevent a
vote on Estrada in part because he's hispanic.
Mark, this is pretty outlandish. Democrats didn't reject him because he was
hispanic. They rejected because of his ultra-conservatism. Voting for him
because he was a hispanic would've been racist.
In the documents the Democrats inadvertently kept on a public drive,
there was mention of concern about letting his nomination get to a vote
because he is hispanic. I think Sen. Durbin wrote that one.
Personally, I think you show prejudice when you equate conservatives with
racists or bigots.
Possibly, but I stand by my conclusion that oyu'll find a lot more openly
racist bigots on the conservative side than on the liberal side. As a sample,
look at this very NG.
We'll need to agree to disagree on that one. I really think it's a case
of finding what you're looking for.
Interestingly, the Republican I've heard the most buzz about as a possible
Presidential candidate for 2008 is Dr. Rice.
I might vote for her. But I don't think the republicans would ever give her the
nomination. Never.
I don't know. She's sharp as a tack. She's got a lot of fans in
conservative circles.
It didn't really help him in the 2000 primaries, but polls on vote.com
after Republican debates consistently showed people thought Dr. Keyes
was winning the debates.
My guess is people who participated in those polls were probably among
the more conservative members of the Republican party.
But I also think they're just a vocal minority, and some of the remarks are
puffed up for "entertainment value".
In other words, those openly racist conservatives don't really mean it? Yep. I
applaud your telepathic abilities to understand what conservative REALLY
mean....
Eh, I think some of the crap gets said primarily to get folks like you
riled up.
And you tend to presume anyone who disagrees with you is a conservative
even if they haven't expressed conservative views.
But you're a good guy. I enjoy talking to you. If all conservatives were as
nice as you this world would be a much better place.
Thanks. Most of the conservatives I run into are nice people.
Take it easy,
You too.
