Times goes after McCain on editorial pages.

And yet, Hilde receives the majority of Hispanic voters and no one says a word.

The Ugly Secret could be that the average Hispanic Democrat does not like Barack, so far it is being played up as “Oh, they love the Clinton’s just on immigration” Which is strange as Bubba never really did much on immigration...

Neither did Hillary, so the reasons for the love are growing a bit thin, aside from the obvious.

The last time I checked, the Grand Old White Party was the Dems in that they were the slavers’ party. They created a variety of ways to hinder blacks from voting well into the 20th century.

Grand Old White Party? I guess I had better dust off my old Lincoln Rockwell campaign button and iron my white hood and robe. What an insult.

[skinkinthegrass]

HEY, Juan “Keating Five” McCranky, the “party” is over...while $hrillary/LMSM, are preparing to “pull the rug” beneath Obambi....

[BerniesFriend]

I am surprised that the nyt is very critical of the GOP..next thing you will tell me is that they give aid and comfort to our enemies by printing our secrets on their front pages..

Doesn't posting Frank Rich columns on FR require a BARF ALERT in the title?

The Grand Old White Party Confronts Obama...Ironic - Rich thinks he's being clever by branding the GOP as the Grand Old White Party, but in fact it was the Democrat Party that actually billed itself as the "White Man's Party" for a while after the Civil War - if Rich were only half as smart as he thinks he is......

Frank Rich is a mediocre drama critic pretending to be a political writer, that is when he isn’t biting pillows.

[WildcatClan]

Too late for one now. I saw Rich was the author and was prepared. :)

[societygirl]

I conftont these morons all the time. I say, “so what’s the matter with being white?” They are SPEECHLESS.

Tolerance is like multiculturalism, it seems to be a great cause and belief until it moves in next door.

The dumbocrates are coming face to face with what they have been preaching for years and it is becoming obvious they are what they have accused the Republicans of being.

[primeval patriot]

Whatever the potency of his political skills and message, Mr. Obama is also riding a demographic wave.

You can thank Dumbya and the Stupid Party for that gift.

The theory of the McCain candidacy is that his “maverick” image will bring independents (approaching a third of all voters) to the rescue.

The maverick theory proponents are mainstream media dopes like Rich.

Hi Frank, please foad.

[caveat emptor]

...if Rich were only half as smart as he thinks he is......

Sheesh. What a loser. He fell off his horse two sentences out of the gate. If OB won a trifecta last Tuesday, at Colonial Downs maybe, he didn't mention it on TV.

[Liberty Valance]

Oh man, that didn’t take long. ;-)

[endthematrix]

You know there’s gonna be some old white guy in President Obama’s Cabinet. (But it’s not about race)

[pennboricua]

I agree with that 100%, but to be fair the average Hispanic Democrat from Colombia does not much care for the average Democrat from puerto Rico, those from Puerto Rico do not much care from those from Mexico, the Mexicans do not much care for those from Guatemala, The Guatemalans do not care much for those from El Salvador.. believe you at times the only thing I fear we share is the Language and we even arque about who speaks the better form.

[norge]

Not really...Frank Rich = BARF

[Atchafalaya]

Rich just giving a payback for a Hussein leg tingler
