Earlier this week, Senator George Allen showed his true colors
when he attacked his opponent's campaign staffer by making bigoted remarks.
And if you've read my blog for any length of time, you know that I'm a big fan of Senator Conrad Burns [sarcasm], who has his own problems keeping offensive remarks from pouring out of his mouth.
Then there's New Mexico GOP gubernatorial candidate John Dendahl, who stereotyped Hispanics as a bunch of drunks.
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott even got in the act a few years ago when
he expressed a longing for the days of segregation, which was
a follow-up from his segregationist past.
Former Secretary of Education, Bill Bennett once spewed some venomous hatred about blacks and crime.
In 2003, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) let it be known that he thinks being gay is, "a sickness, an aberration, and a sin" that needs to be "controlled".
Don't let me forget Vice-President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush, who swear more now than they did when they put their hands on the Bible and took their oaths of office. After all, Cheney did tell a United States Senator to go fuck himself, and Bush has been caught more than once being a potty-mouth.
Today, America was treated to the latest round of offensive remarks from the GOP, when Tramm Hudson, who is running for the House seat of Katherine Harris, gave us his opinions on black people.
"I grew up In Alabama, and I understand, and I know this from my own experience, that blacks are not the greatest swimmers or may not even know to swim."
I'm sure there are more examples of this venom and hatred spewing forth from the pieholes of other Republicans, but this is a blog post not an epic novel.
If there ever was a doubt, let it be known that the Republican party is not the party of the people. The GOP is the party of intolerance. Minority voters have a choice: vote for Democratic candidates and be welcomed as part of the process, or vote GOP and be marginalized and disenfranchised.
