Rico--do you really believe what you have espoused? There has been a shift--the Republican Party is now officially the "White" Party and they don't care if you know it or not and as well, they are USING black folks and when they wake up they will start on the Hispanics, Asians etc using race as the divider.
My background? former member of the GOP Las Vegas, and involved at the State Party level. True I was there more as an anthropologist--but I understand why "Cubans who think they are white claim to be Republicans!!
NO it's a different time, Rico--think about changing to Independent or the Green Party--to be Black today and a Republican demonstrates adhearance to old beliefs.
The Republican Party's support of big business has resulted in the theft of trillions of dollars by private individuals using the government as a feeder--so what's a billion in education loans? when whites are the biggest recipients? It's a lot more complex than " I m business person and they support us." No. They resent your Black presence.
I have a lot of Republican friends in Las Vegas, they are not really paying attention to the plight of the unfortunate and how devastating Reagonomics has been to persons not interested in becoming mega rich, but interested in Democracy, a nice home and a good family with a decent paying job.
Yes, to re-quote the above "you have ignore a hell of a lot to justify being a Republican today" Yes you do , you have to look the other way, you have to pretend..you have to lie to yourself. I know I am not changing any of my friends,but do you know why? because they are embarrassed. Until the GOP screams-get out of our Party--many will continue on just like slaves that were set free refused to leave the plantation.
Out of the blue someone reminded me yesterday--the Republicans came in bankrupting and stealing remember World Com and MCI? how quickly we forget--
I, and my father, his father and of course the first in our family to be able to choose have been Republican. Abe Lincoln, the Hero of Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama-releaser of Slaves, was a Republican. The MasterAmericans were DixieDemocrats til they highjacked the Republican party in the 1950-1960s. Ronald Reagan gave cover to implementing Civil Rights to DixieDemocrats aka Reagan Democrats.
Hillary and Bill almost made Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama a Republican,(REALLY HE IS A REPUBLICAN without the love of the DixieDemocrats.)
Palin is a redneck Alaskan, McCain an old Vietnam vet, Steele a Good SlaveAmerican and I'm a Marcus Garvey Republican. I sold a business to WorldCom/MCI--so thanks my Democratic SlaveAmerican Friends and Republican MasterAmericans, see you in Casablanca or Cairo.
Irma---I'm totally ignorant?--OK-----I apologize for ignoring your truth.
The gentleman next to me says Rico sounds like Bobby Jindal!
Rico, I would have known that you were a Republican and a Conservative Republican just by what you had to say and the proofs you offered on this post. You see I can do this because there is a tendancy of Conservative to be of a single, one sighted, point of view. This it seem to me to be the mentality of total resistance of any other one's opinion, point of view as: illegal, immoral and anti-American.
So, the Rico's out there we Liberals look forwards to your protesting against the PEACE marchs against the Conservative cartoon in the New York Post or will you be too busy trying to laugh it off as just another JOKE of an employee of Rupart Murdock's. Remember how funny Don Imus was to the ad people?(smile)
sorry for going off post with that last comment my sister& brothers...
Oh, Rico where will you be sitting up those camps for those who are in their last stages of cancer, that infant whose mother died at birth along with all of his/her family in that car accident? The children whose parents died in Iraq, both the American, British and the Iraqi child.You see in your private world these children have not money and they sure will not get any of yours (taxes)or any Republicans like you because not paying taxes is legal and moral and your right to not pay for these LOOSERS!!!
Let us see, you built your own house and your own school for you, your children or did you/ your children attend school where some Democrat's money goes to support the building of the school or those pipes the water from your home drain into? And, you produce your own food, make your own clothes or did you/your wife learn these in college? Please tell me that you grew up feeding and clothing your self and providing every thing that you needed or did all of this happen before you became QUALIFIED to be a Republican who was able to do what you wanted with your money earned on a job that you provided?
Or will you just remain on your own private planet-stuck on stupid, Rico...peace(smile)or welcome to the real world where every thing is related to something, someone ELSE!!!!!!
I wonder how many Republicans sitting in prison right now feeling good that their new Republican inmates coming to join them during this administration will be Black Republican party leader and not their TRUE White brothers watching their backs? Cute huh?
Brother Rico at least in the Marines you were not a TOKEN like Steele and who else up there on that elite Republican social ladder. Say why are you not stating your political party level and is it because it is none existance or are you just bluffing while living in your fantasy Republican acceptance or Blacks such as your self to be gin with?
Stop speaking of what every one but you have accomplished...anyone who has been in the military can get a PAID education is this how you got yours? Off the tax payers like those Democrats who do noot pay taxes or did you go on the taxes of those in the party of, for and by the rich who do not pay taxes because their money is off shore??? Come On, Rico lets stand up on your accomplaihments besides an education off the Democrat tax payers and making babys....(smile)
A few hours ago(watching Rachael Maddow again)I learned and saw a photo of the highest ranking Black person in the Republican party...He is a rail road commissioner in the state of Texas.and, his name was not Rico so good luck ,Sir.
Rico, my youngest daughter is STILL in the Navy as she will RETIRE just as her father did from the Marine Corp...She is married, has a 4 yearl old so what happened to you...couldn't take it? Daughter one tour in the middle-east, her father two tours in Nam. Ane, you Rico??????Or was this only because they were Democrats or because of their college education, being Black or just their choice without any fan fair???????Again can you match this???????
come on now it is you who are giving reasons why we-they should switch partys..Oh, but then who is in the MAJORITY,huh?????Who is actively protecting America OVER THERE or do you have it covered as the reason to switch...COME BACK(smile)
Rico, you are a lough a minute expecially when you now claim that all of those Republicans who or now either in prison, had to leave due to non Family,Christain values scandals or like Karl rove left in order to stay one step ahead of the arrest warrent are racist FORMER Democrats?????What a joker you are Rico...come back...
Remember you said former Democrats not me(smile)Please keep Palin, Steele and McCain. I gather as Mitt Romney is (maybe being forced to)sell three of his mansions now you will not be sending him back to the Democrat party are you? Please keep them all.
Spoken like someone who is totally ignorant of Hillary Clinton(and Bill)or in denial of Hillary's being a Republican and why she became a Republican in order to promote racism.Or came back to the Democrat party for the same reason...
Resisting the truth does not make it a lie unless one adds DENIAL along with the TRUTH. but, be happy in all that you do it is good for the mind...
robert, you owe me not apology as I did not have anything to do with Hillary Clinton getting so up set over John Kennedy becoming president that she became a Republican nor did I have anything to do with her being born in Chicago, ILL!!! Nor did I have any thing to do with John McCain not being born on Americn SOIL!!!!!
Denial of this as FACT has nothing to do with me...therefore I repeat, make your own self happy by any means necessary(smile)
Marta, I must say that that reply to our president's speech of governor Bobby Jindal's last night brought the theme of this post to mind the whole time he was speaking. (or as his Republican party are saying today, "doing something they are regretting so badly"!)
But, Jindal did show that the Republican party can talk about more than 'tax cuts' he talked about Katrina didn't he?(smile)
I did wonder if he forgot about he was not going to accept about 1% of the Recovery money or was he just over looking this as he hoped that all of those fellow Conservatives were falling all over themselves to show support for what President Obama had to say had been over looked by those millions of us viewers all over this planet?
