the GOP is crafting their narrative, all based on lies and fabrications. After all, they have an image problem regarding race that will preclude them picking up moderate white voters who fled the party in droves, as well as black and Latino voters who are forever lost to them. The Republican Party's only hope is to re-brand themselves, change their sheets, clean up their image and rewrite history to make it look as if they are the good guys on race and segregation.
It's time to confront the racist.
Not since the massive Klu Klux Klan marches of the 1920s have white nationalists strutted their stuff so proudly. The “media-validated” Tea Partyers are on a roll, and are even getting physical with Black folks in lower Manhattan, where they plan a national rally on 9/11.
Hate propagates fear. Fear is a great motivator. It moves people to act quickly for their own immediate best interests.
Love propagates hope. Hope is a great motivator. It moves people to act in the best interest of others.
Republicans, Tea Baggers and other Conservatives are moving to act in their own immediate best interests because they're afraid of the Great Black and Brown Taking of America.
Democrats, Progressives and other Liberals are not fearful right this moment. They're complacent.
In the world of politics, those who aren't in fear aren't usually motivated to act. And those who don't act ...
lose.
Yes We Will ignore the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads and their Polling Pollsters because they don't vote, we the people vote.
So what are the lessons for 2010? They're obvious. Once again we need to ignore the pundits. Once again we need to make up our minds to vote for Democrats, and tell everyone we know to do so too. And if we do that with energy and determination, we will keep Democrats in control of Congress, and maybe add some terrific new progressives.
The Tea Party is coming!
SPEAKERS:
Dr. Robert Bentley, Republican Candidate for Governor
Commissioner Mo Brooks, Republican Candidate for Congress (District 5)
Mary Scott Hunter, Republican Candidate for State School Board (District 8)
Senator Paul Sanford, Republican Candidate for State Senate (District 7)
Councilman Bill Holtzclaw, Republican Candidate for State Senate (District 2)
They are who we thought they were.
They wilfully engage in this coded language of racism and race baiting, they are still playing the angry southern/white man strategy, and they have gone so far to the fringe that they can not back down now, not even if they wished to, for fear of being perceived as weak and traitorous by their base. Sadly, they have no desire to do so. The modern GOP if 2009 IS the racism of 1909 come back to life again. They define themselves as who they are daily, and are without shame.
