A self described "liberal Republican", Saletan came out strongly against the re-election of George W. Bush.

Saletan has written several articles about bioethics and sexual ethics, criticizing what he sees as homophobia within the Roman Catholic Church.

Liberal William Saletan Announces Plan to ‘Purge’ Christians

In an article titled, “Purge the Bigots,” Slate writer William Saletan penned these chilling words: “Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But let’s not stop here. If we’re serious about enforcing the new standard, thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.

“More than 35,000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that declared, ‘Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,’” he continued. “Why do these bigots still have jobs? Let’s go get them.”

WHITE voters are who the GOP needs to target. If Romney had won 5% more of that vote he would have trounced Imam Al-Husseini.

Believe me there are plenty of OLD WHITE DEMOCRATS TOO, my parents included. These Democrats live very conservative lives, have children (yes husband and wife), make good money, complain about taxes daily - yet vote Democrat EVERY TIME.

Ask them why...why they identify with Democrats, you just get talking points about how HORRIBLE and REACTIONARY Republicans are - you tell them where this country is going, they simply don’t care. Many were union types They grew up under FDR and JFK and for that reason ALONE, they remain Democrats.

Fortunately they’re dying off, and pretty quickly (hopefully all but two of them, LOL)...so they REALLY NEED a militant Hispanic bunch to replace them, as white young people, even if they seem liberal, are still open-minded and are not nearly as dead-set on Democrats without question.

On top of that, in the last 6 years, the US Hispanic birth rate has taken a NOSEDIVE - still higher than whites, but not by nearly as much.

The Democrats have their own problems too...but you never see it reported.

What’s his point? Why didn’t all those young, colorful, liberal little fandangos come out and vote for Cantor? Because they already had their own liberal banana boy to vote for? We have mooochelle telling us what to eat, mr. mulato telling us who we can marry, holderwanker telling us who we can give money to and this arsehole telling us who we can vote for. This is what we need? The whole village of idiots telling us haw to live?

Ah good, by analogy then, they don’t get much younger, dumber or blacker than Obama voters.

Hey, they said it.

Funny, you are hurting the same people you are objectifying, while perpetuating your myth.

the extremism of Republican primary voters . . . The real mystery [is] how the candidates selected by such extreme electorates end up running the country.

No mystery about

"the PRO-GOVERNMENT EXTREMIST Democrat voters . . . [and how] such extreme electorates end up ruining the country."

That’s right. The media refers all the time to Republicans as having too many white voters. They never say the Dems have too many black voters.

Oh, that’s right. We white, old, conservatives don’t get a voice in how the country is run any more. Sorry we dared to exercise our prerogative.

Hey, Skeletor! Why don’t you come tell this white, old, conservative how wrong he is? But bring a couple of your fairy friends to carry your stretcher.
