What is not mentioned is that Ryan will not take the Chair unless the motion to “Vacate the Chair” is struck down. So, in other words, his “promises” don’t mean a thing.
“You know how for so long we have thought that the racist wing of the Democratic Party called the Dixiecrats, that were based in the South were dead and replaced by Republicans? The actions of Democratic officials like gov Jay Nixon, always thought there had to be something slimey about a Democrat named Nixon, and Bill McCulloch, the vile St. Louis DA who smirked as he gave cops the green light to keep murdering young African-American males have proven that assumption wrong.
This is where the “big tent” philosophy gets us, folks. How can we point the finger at Republican racism with so much racism in our own party? We need to drive these people out. If this party has no standards and no limits on what the people we put up for office believe and how they conduct themselves, what’s the point.”
“So far, national Democrats haven’t discouraged Southern conservative newcomers. Congressional campaign committee heads helped Childers and Cazayoux, just as they did Heath Shuler in 2006. They helped recruit Webb and promoted him over the more conventionally liberal Harris Miller. Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel have even been willing to boost pro-life and pro-gun Democrats north of the Mason Dixon line, including Bob Casey in Pennsylvania and both Brad Ellsworth and Joe Donnelly in Indiana. Jack Davis has even run as a Pat Buchanan Democrat against Republican Congressman Tom Reynolds in New York. It may not seem like much of an innovation to run culturally conservative candidates in culturally conservative areas, but it took years for the Democrats to decide that they liked being in the majority better than imposing litmus tests.”
@kausmickey Shit dude give it a rest. Xenophobia should not be a 24/7 job.
@kausmickey Ryan is about as trust worthy on immigration as Bill Clinton was on his dalliance with Monica. In other words, not at all.
@kausmickey Yeah, because the last thing the Rs want to do is give Obama another legislative victory. Better to lose the 2016 election.
@kausmickey could just do amnesty. That’s not comprehensive
.@Zachy224
When Open Borders extremists stop their perfidious plotting and scheming, then @kausmickey can ‘give it a rest’.
@WillvonKaenel @kausmickey The Senate’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform was plotting and scheming?You nutjobs deserve the coming extinction
.@kausmickey
There seems to be dissonance in @Zachy224 citing CIR as Sweetness and Light, and the dark mutterings of ‘coming extinction’.
@WillvonKaenel @kausmickey An increasingly diverse country is the future and for angry old white men that means political extinction.
