"Black" does not bother me. "Liberal" bothers me. All I've gotta say is that they better not mess things up, or they will make the 23% approval rating this GOP Congress has look pretty good.
In some ways, the 2006 victory will be a godsend for the GOP in 2008. We can make it a referendum on the Dems, not on Bush.
Dittos. But be assured, these clumsy political commissars WILL mess things up, as they hide large cash payments in their home freezers, and engage in conspicuous consumption entirely out of line with normal graft and way beyond being commensurate with the perks of their jobs.
Expect Congressional approval rates to plunge to as low as single digits.
I don't judge people based on the color of their skin, unless that's the way they first judge themself. If it's always about race, thus it will always be when I consider your own accomplishments.
And in Rangel's case, I also include the questionable content of his character.
"It is so much power that Representative Charles B. Rangel, the New York Democrat set to be chairman of the pivotal Ways and Means Committee, said he hesitated to speak about it publicly. “I don’t want to scare the hell out of people,” Mr. Rangel said, “that blacks are now in charge of the committees and so, therefore, watch out.”
Once a race pimp, always a race pimp.
As you say, "Liberal" scares the hell out of me not their skin tone.
