    They tend to be. If you're socially conservative, you hold racist beliefs to some extent or another.

    I usually make fun of "Big d-ck b------" for his bizarre relationship to race (and obsession with penises), but this guy is really, really, fantastically dumb.

    Think about this: after a week-long convention in which highly educated, highly experienced people chanted "Lock her up!" and the nominee for president talked about "illegals roaming the streets," he's saying that Republicans.................don't pander for votes?

    Dude, this is not even close to reality, lol. Of course Hillary is terribly pandering to young voters, but Republicans routinely make that pandering central to their platforms. See: Karl Rove's reign, see: the hijacking of the party by the religious right and by Israel-obsessed activists.

    Yeah OK. Hillary doesn't pander to black people? You have to be kidding me if you don't believe that.
    How am I obsessed with penises? your the one who constantly brings up my username.

    Hillary has absolutely pandered to black people, to young people, to Latinos, at any number of points during her campaign. But again, that sort of pandering is central to the platforms of many Republicans, and to the party itself: the entire focus on immigration enforcement is blatant pandering. Acting as if Planned Parenthood makes a dent in the balance sheet is pandering.

    Trump is pandering alright, he's just doing a horrible job because it's all towards the racist inbreds that are going to vote for him already

    Horrible job as in picking up new voters, great job at telling his following what they want to hear. I just don't see how continuing to do that is going to make him president, unless our country is in a lot worse shape than I thought, which wouldn't necessarily take me by surprise at this point, but I don't find it likely.

    If the election were held today, I think that Hillary would win handily, but that the popular vote would be reasonably close. Don't underestimate the power of fear mongering in an American election. Especially against a vulnerable Democrat--look at 04.

    Col. Allen West is very racist. He used to belong to a White Supremacist Biker g--- and collaborates with White Nationalist group American Renaissance today.


    Ben Carson once the living embodiment of Black History Month has lost himself and sold his soul for the adulation of dumb racist Conservative Entertainment Complex consumers who only care about black faces saying the same dumb rhetoric they pretend to believe.


    Herman Cain is a moron who was alright at running pizzarias and now hang outs with Rush Limbaugh and other right wing blowhards.

    I think trying to characterize all people we disagree with as evil, pretty much sums up why the political landscape is so s--- today.
