Honest, open, forthright, intelligent.

If only there were more politcians like you out there.


Your point is the exact reason the GOP needs to get beyond our racist past asap. If only so that we can begin to say the truth without being labelled bigots.

This Lott fiasco is a chance and an opportunity. Rove smells it and has pounced like the viscious political beast that he is (this is intended as a compliment).

Thanks, I was worried you might be offended (see, I have to get over that). I don't hate blacks. It's almost like there is this "Cult of Blackness" whose practitioners are screwing up everything.

During this time period the Republican party was also the party of the left and the Demcracts the right...

...Your insistence on denying the reality of that history (i.e. the Republican party has contained a racist element for a long time) is a tragedy.
