House Speaker “So be it” Boehner and radical Senate Minority Leader buddy
Not very homogeneous these Democrats
Granted, we are not one solid, monolithic group but a combination of many and as diverse as our nation itself…but we do pride ourselves in not being exclusive, not throwing any one group under the bus, not demonizing or vilifying one minority…that seems to be the Democratic Party…while the GOP Republican Teahadists appears just the opposite.
Arguably, the Blacks were left by the side of the road long ago…when the civil rights movement came into being and rid itself of the Southern Democrat racists. But a funny thing happened while the Republicans were reaching out for the Hispanics…throwing all kinds of gratuitous perks to make them vote Republican: the ultra right wing of the party who will have none of this diversity shit…became very hostile with their xenophobia…and rightfully so because Latinos are the fastest growing minority and are poised to become a majority in many of the traditionally white states.
But the Republicans could not resist and throw a few more minorities under the bus; on to the pavement in front of the public transportation vehicle; unceremoniously and with vindictive resolve also went the gays, followed by women, labor unions, seniors and those on Medicaid who are the least likely to pose any real challenge as they have no lobby or even an organization that can defend them effectively.
