Moran: GOP won in 2010 because 'a lot of people' don't want black president (BARF ALERT)
The Washington Post ^ | 2011-01-27 | Ben Pershing

Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) is once again drawing attention for making controversial comments to the media, after the told the Arab television network Alhurra that the GOP won in November because many Americans don't want a black president.

In the interview, which has been flagged by the Weekly Standard and The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin, Moran said that Democratic losses in the 2010 elections ...

... happened because of the same reason the Civil War happened in the United States. The Civil War happened because the Southern states, particularly the slaveholding states, didn't want to see a president who was opposed to slavery. In this case a lot of people in this country, I believe, don't want to be governed by an African American, particularly one who is inclusive, who is liberal, who wants to spend money on everyone and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society. That's a basic philosophical clash.

Moran is a dope. He shouldn’t be representing this country anywhere abroad.

That little fact went right over the top of Morons head didn’t it?

Since Moron has to throw race in, let’s try this

The American people have decided they don’t like a racist in the WH.

You give me a black guy like Allen West and I guarantee you I’d be proud to have him as my president.
You give me this duplicitus pos marxist punk and all I see is a quota boy.

You cannot pry the racism out of a Leftie. Moran and his ignorance will not be parted. That the interview was translated in Arabic, just underscores what it means to be ‘Left’ in America today. All too disgusting.

In fact the exact opposite is true for ‘08. There’s NO WAY a white guy, way to the Left of Ted Kennedy, would of had a chance to win the presidency.

That’s the Dim’s problem, they thought that election was about policy, it wasn’t...people wanted change yes, but they wanted a black president most of all—and if it had been Colin Powell, or some other moderate, or even conservative black, the margin of victory would of been the same or greater. Very few, except the usual suspects, were voting for the “progressive” neo-marxist-socialist (anti-colonialist...) which Obama is.

Yes....just like Stalin and Hitler and Lenin and Mao did, and the evil Bill Ayers said when he told the uncover FBI agent that a millions of the “wrong” thinking Americans who couldn’t be REEDUCATED into their Marxist ideology would have to be exterminated.

“West/Palin 2012?”

We could do worse; such as Obama/Biden 2008.

And I thought the American people turned on Obama because they realized he is an America-hating Marxist.
