The House GOP will stand by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)76%76%, signaling they will hold their leadership to lesser standards than they would conservatives.
Now they are just rubbing everybodys nose in it.
Their latest spin, courtesy of the Washington Post, is that Scalises ability to connect with racists makes him a bridge builder between conservatives and Speaker Boehner.
I kid you not.
From the article:
Racist elements have long been a part of political life in Louisiana and throughout the Deep South, but Scalises skillful ability to balance them with his partys modern-day need to appeal to a rapidly diversifying electorate helped enable his rise.
and
One of Scalises assets in the leadership is that he has been able to sway rabble-rousing members who often cause headaches for House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio). On the House floor, he will sit down next to a colleague he is trying to win over, place his arm around his or her shoulder, lean in close and talk.
Scalises political associates say he tolerates political outsiders and even some gadflies more than most leaders, eager always to turn anyone into an ally. That persona has fueled his climb to power. It has also invited controversy.
In other words, because Scalise is confortable in front of David Duke style groups, he knows how to navigate those wackado conservatives in Congress.

EXEMPT RINO ENABLER:
"I will label my party as "racists" for you, My Master and beloved King."
So now, “Conservatism=racism” in the eyes of the GOPe.
This is so profoundly insulting that it boggles the mind.
This is the Washington Post’s words, not the GOPe’s.
Conservatives = racists.
TELL ME this isn’t manufactured.
“Freeper GOP apologists, please pick up the white courtesy phone...”
But it’s ok for democrats to elect former members of the Black Panthers, and have members of the Weather Underground advise the President.
Yeah, but. It WAS the GOPe’s words in the Miss Senate Race.
I don’t like conservatives using a 13 yr old State Race meet/greet to tar Scalise. It’s unseemly.
But. Let’s not kid ourselves about what the establishment is willing to say about us.
Outsiders, gadflies and racists such as Chris McDaniel?
Nothing these traitors do surprises me, it`s just surprising that their apologists would, even now, still defend them yet continue to claim to be conservative or friends of conservatism. I piss on the GOPe, and by association, most of their party.
Why is a conservative hanging with racists a bad thing but liberals do it all the time and half of them are racists?
“Why is a conservative hanging with racists a bad thing but liberals do it all the time and half of them are racists?”
Half of them are racists??
ALL of them are!!- just remember “SHEETS” Byrd-
a few years before his death - was still using the
term NIGGER- in interviews!-
I believe it went something like this:
I’ve known White Niggers & Black Niggers!-
What the ___?!
There was NO- I repeat No- outrage from ANY Demonrat or liberal or even A BLACK RACIST organization
All conservatives - AND GOPe- are held to a different standard
Down with the GOPe. Never again!
Big Tent, and all that.
But this could be a good thing. After all, blacks have been saying for decades that all whites are racists. I say reach out to the whites!
Conservatism is the only thing that stops communism that’s why they will spin every thing to stop them.
The friends of the MSM are many.
