The GOP bigotry tour continues! Last week Newt Gingrich steam-rolled into South Carolina yapping about the "food stamps president" and introducing his JOBS plan for black America....putting black 3rd graders to work scrubbing toilets, even though many of their parents are out of work!
In Iowa, Santorum told the crowd, "I don't want to help black people by giving them somebody else's money". Of course 84% of the welfare recipients in Iowa are white! Santorum later claimed he didn't say black - he says he said, "BLAH"!
Now they've moved the race circus on to Florida and suddenly the Muslim card is played - again! I don't think any of us is surprised that this happened but we should be angered to see a would-be president completely ignore such blatant bigotry, racism and ignorance just so he can get votes - and then still call himself a leader and a Christian.
Rick Santorum isn't going anywhere but home, and not soon enough - but he should've had the courage to stand up to that woman and tell the truth. I have a new-found respect for Senator John McCain, who to my knowledge is the only GOP candidate to openly challenge the birthers at a political rally. Of course, McCain didn't get elected either, even though his VP choice, what's her name, ran around the country screaming, "domestic terrorist", "un-American", and appealing to people in places "that are real America"!
So there was Senator Santorum in "real America", which at this point we all clearly know is "white America" and Santorum melted into a jelly-spined coward before the lady bully and couldn't muster any of his so-called Christian faith and courage to stand up and do the right thing. What would Jesus have done?
It wasn't as if this was screamed by some whacko nut-job in passing. Santorum effectively gave her the floor. He in fact commented on everything she said EXCEPT the "he's an avowed Muslim" part! He even went on to say, "I agree with you" although he wasn't agreeing with the "avowed Muslim" bit - at least I hope he wasn't in some surreptitious around about way.
When reporters asked Santorum about it he claimed it was a "gotcha question"! Where have we heard THAT before?
No it's not a "gotcha" question Senator Santorum, you're simply a spineless circus clown and are afraid to stand against the racists and bigots in your party. Speaker Boehner did exactly the same thing on "Meet The Press" sometime ago when he was asked about this Muslim nonsense saying, "it's not my job to tell the American people what to think".
Funny, Santorum, Boehner and the rest of these clowns have NO problem telling us what to think about everything else!
It is becoming clearer and clearer that for all the denials, the Tea Party and the GOP is openly selling racism - out of pure desperation! We've seen it time and time again. It simply can't be denied anymore.
This is truly disgusting and repulsive and the GOP and its so-called leaders are showing America just what they are made of...not much!
I wonder what they're all going to say or do the day after the election and Barack Hussein Obama II is the 45th President of the United States of America?
I just wonder...
