From: "Mark S. Holden" 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.
