Black Caucus Sees Race as Factor in Filibusters, Eyes Rules Change

They also see race as a factor in what they had for breakfast this morning and what the weather is like on their vacation.

The CBC is racist by definition. Were it not racist it would not exist. All the members are professional negros.

That is they are negros for a living

They use it because we’ve allowed it to “work” in the past.

Simultaneous invention? Whittle and von Ohain invented the jet engine at about the same time, each unaware of the other’s work.

Simultaneous invention?

Probably because we both realized that, once again, the sun rose today.

RACISM! Plain & simple. Billions all over the planet must have had the same, simultaneous (corrected for Local Solar Time, of course) thought.

Just for the record, the leaders of the Confederacy were Democrats. They were also the leaders of the political movement for the protection and expansion of black slavery.

How many Bush nominees were filibustered or stalled in committee? And how many of these were approved by Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) or Sen. Carole Mostly-Wrong (D-IL)? I’ll bet race was a factor in many of those. They may claim it was ideological but I’ll bet race was a factor there somewhere.

Actually, I have an ancestor who fought on the Union side in the civil war. So take that Charlie.

Maybe the GOP like it when the black caucus runs their mouths.

I dont think this is good for Mark Pryor. It might help Landrieu with black turnout. But I dont know if they will turnout for Obamacare that 10% of people want.

The only thing that might work for black turnout is the Zimmerman case.
