Republican Race baiting

The Republican Party plays the race card, what? No way! You mean they are racist? Of course they are, they are classist and misogynist, why not the trifecta?

So for those not following politics, the Republican's are trying not to lose Bill Frist's seat in Tennesse to a black democrat. In response they go to the race card. Lately, the focus has been on an ad that tied him to white playboy bunnies who wanted to have sex with him and that he gave money to porn companies.

But this is worse, check this out:

"a radio ad accusing him of unfairly favoring blacks repeated the word "black" six times in its first twenty-four seconds, warning Tennesseans that he's a member of the "Congressional Black Caucus, an all-black group of congressmen who represent the interests of black people."

Now if that is not trying to create a race war than I do not know what is.

But what is worse is that the Republicans win either way, they are too blind to see that this guy is a republican, he is such a republican that it makes me sick. Southern democrats are so backward that they should just join the republican party so the democrats can actually start being left. The democrats need a cleansing if Ford is a democrat. Listen to what he has said and voted for and against:

"I voted for the Patriot Act, five trillion in defense, and against amnesty for illegals. I approved this message because I won't let them make me somebody I'm not. And I'll always fight for you...Junior" came to Washington preaching the New Democrats' gospel of fiscal restraint, corporate-friendliness and social moderation...In the past two Congresses, he voted the conservative line on every issue likely to matter to Tennessee voters come 2006. From being a moderate on immigration, he became one of Washington's staunchest border-warriors. He voted to extend Bush's tax cuts and supported constitutional amendments against flag-burning and gay marriage. His old F rating from the National Rifle Association turned into a B."

If that's a Democract we are all in trouble. I cannot belive this is what the democratic party has come to. I knew they sucked, but not this much. None of these isssues are going to solve the issues of the working class or bring stability, security or autonomy to individuals. I hope that neither party wins and Tennessee implodes from this insanity.
