Runt Paul for President! Woo! Woo!
I’m not a Rand Paul fan, and am becoming less so by the minute. I will agree that it’s a shame we don’t have more “people of color” who espouse Conservative principles, but I don’t think it’s our fault (at least mostly). I think it’s much more the “crabs in the pot” syndrome (or whatever it’s called. You know, where the crabs in the pot keep pulling down the crabs trying to climb OUT of the pot.
I think “crabs in the pot” is a huge problem, because I experienced it myself growing up, in a different way. I grew up the child of self-taught intellectuals in a very small town, where kids who pronounced long words correctly (or even USED “big words,” Heaven forfend!) were made fun of relentlesslly. I really learned to just keep my mouth SHUT from about age six to when I escaped to college. So I have great sympathy for black people or brown people who are viciously told they’re acting “too white!” for any of a number of offenses, which include thinking for one’s self about politics.
I do think we should grab onto the Conservative “people of color” role models that we find and support them as much as possible. There are some people who we’ll never reach, but other people who see yet another article about Ben Carson and may finally think, “Hey, that dude is pretty cool.” And maybe we can take that lid off the crab pot! ;)
They like me they really like me!!!. Just when you think we have a contender they manage to step on thier d##k while thier a## is on fire.
Why would he say such a thing?! Not only is it untrue, it just gives the left more ammo. What a dolt!
We need to do what democrats have done... find a minority group and offer them free citizenship, schooling, food stamps the works - IF they come here and vote Republican.
We'll get the same PR types to talk about them being 'dreamers' and pay off some 'journalists' to write sob stories about them... then we'll vilify anyone who wants to reject them... call 'em xenophobes.
My suggestion is 60 million Chinese....
Then we'll kindly offer suggestions to Democrats about how they need to court the NRA vote or the 'right to life' vote.
