No, not in this case, at least. It was your editorial comment at the end. Must be nice to live in your world, where it is always the other person who doesn't comprehend, or is unintelligent.

Sorry if you don't get my humor. Although behind my humor is the truth. I do believe that the more informed the American, the more conservative in political thought he would be. (the key word above is "American"; think about my meaning before jumping to conclusions)

I know what the essence of being an American is. Too many have forgotten what this country represents and now believe that "being their brother's keeper" is now a government mandate and not just a moral ideal.

I can get way more detailed in this conversation if you desire, but you should glean my meaning and my intent from the little I've written.

The truth? Really? If you really beleive that, it explains a lot about your viewpoint, and illustrates your arrogance.

Not everyone has trouble deciphering my thought and intent in my posts. I'm sorry you are.

I too am sorry not to be in your wide circle of admirers. Apparently your thought processes are far above my limited level of comprehension.

Wait; I just thought of something. Obviously I hit a nerve with my comment about Democrat voters. Actually, I love that. I'm sorry if you find fault in my description about what constitutes a desirable voter to the Democrat Party, but I call 'em as I see 'em.

I've never passed a pot I didn't want to stir.

(P.S.: You really need to learn how to "quote". The quote of yours above looks like it was said by me. I don't know what you're doing, but you're doing it wrong)

The statement was yours, I don't know why it had my name on it, but that is among many things I need to learn. Yes you hit a nerve with your unintelligent comment about Democrat voters. I have voted for many democrats and many republicans, and have always put a great deal of thought into my votes. I also respect people who have different views, though not when they show disrespect for different views.

Richie, what I said in my post was "Lots and lots of the statements will stay with the candidate even though it may not true. Some is due to the stupidity of the candidate - such as the rock with the N-word on Perry's hunting lodge. Why couldn't that have just been buried or broken up years ago instead of just turned over? Even though Perry had nothing to do with it, that stain will stay with him.

It is a mistake to mention race in a campaign because some will take it as a slur no matter what was said. It is a lose-lose situation.

Same thing goes for gay and lesbian issues. No matter what is said, someone will take offense to it."

These incidents were about the Republican candidates and therefore, the Republican electorate was the target. It was not for the Democrats - but Democrats are not immune from this 30 second sound bite campaigning by any means.

The Republican candidates are aiming for those Republican voters who are shallow and ill-informed - since Democrat voters cannot vote in Republican primaries.

Gingrich: "I will go to the NAACP convention and tell the African-American community why they should demand paychecks instead of food stamps." He also said “Young children who are poor ought to learn how to go to work,” he continued. “What I’ve said is, for example, it would be great if inner city schools and poor neighborhood schools actually hired the children to do things. Some of the things they could do is work in the library, work in the front office. Some of them frankly, could be janitorial. Gingrich continued, “this all started when people on the Left laughed about and derided what they call hamburger flipping jobs. I did an entire thing in one of my courses on the number of people whose first job was at McDonald’s who are now very successful multi-millionaires. And my point is, any work that gets you in the habit of working beats no work.”

Santorum: "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money." "I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn their money and provide for themselves and their families," he added. "The best way to do that is to get the manufacturing sector of the economy rolling."

(postscript: Santorum's remarks were made while the employment rate for blacks has risen to 16%; 17% among black men and a staggering 41% among black teens; all while President Obama claims "recovery")
http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/...6-percent.html

Santorum: On the subject of gay marriage, he was asked by a student “How you justify your belief based on these morals you have about all men being created equal when two men who want to marry the person that they love ...” “What about three men?” Santorum interjected. “Reason says that if you think it’s OK for two, you have to differentiate with me why it’s not OK for three,” he added. “Let’s just have a discussion about what that means. If she reflects the values that marriage can be for anybody or any group of people, as many as is necessary, any two people or any three or four, marriage really means whatever you want it to mean.”

Anyone with any honesty knows that Santorum was only responding to someone who wants to change the definition on what is marriage. Once you change it for one group aren't you discriminating against other groups who want to enact into law their definition on what constitutes a marriage?

Amazing what putting things in context will do. It all about making you think. I know it's tough, but try it.

RichieLion: Thank you for posting these links better than I could. Some people on this forum think I make this stuff up, even though it's been running on TV 24/7 for weeks and in print. How do these statements help republicans build a wider tent by including African Americans, hispanics and gays and lesbians?

They don't if you're an ignorant American. IMHO

You're still not posting quotes correctly. All you have to do is click on the "quote button" at the bottom of the quote you want to reference. Then write below that quote. Somehow the way you're attempting to do this you put my name on your quote here.

I don't know what you're doing to post them the way you do.

I don't understand. Who's ignorant? The candidates that say these things, the people that vote for them, or the people that don't vote for them? How does saying these things help the republican party?
