Those Crazy Racist Southern Republicans Did It Again!

RESIZE: AAA

Bobby Jindal

In case you missed it, Bobby Jindal, the Republican Governor of Louisiana, was reelected last night.

“Landslide” hardly begins to cover it – Jindal captured 66% of the vote and his nearest competitor only 18%, plus eight other candidates with 5% or less. Full election results available here.

I met Jindal at a campaign rally for Rick Scott’s gubernatorial campaign last year, and was very impressed with his intelligence and sincerity. Watching Jindal’s strong leadership during the Gulf oil spill, you could tell he cares deeply for the people of his state and that he was really affected by the environmental and economic devastation caused by the spill.

And, oh, by the way…notice how all those evil racist Southern Republicans voted to reelect an Indian guy? Those crazy racists, they keep voting for candidates like Susana Martinez in New Mexico, Nikki Haley and Tim Scott in South Carolina, and Florida’s Marco Rubio and Allen West. And then there’s all those racists who are propelling Ted Cruz to the top of the Texas Senate race and keep voting for Herman Cain at the straw polls.

Hmmm. Maybe Janeane Garofalo can explain it to me?

    There is a racist party in America, but it’s not the Republican Party. It’s the one which has instituted a legalized genocide of black people through legal abortion, it’s the one which created the welfare system which traps minorities in poverty. Heck, it’s the party which supported segregation, slavery and the KKK. Wonder which one it is?

    be a precursor to 2012 for the Republican Party.

    and it doesn’t fit any of their agendae, so don’t expect it to be mentioned. Just like the history and consequences of Democrat/Progressive movement that you list. If anything it scares them to death, so they are whistling past the graveyard as usual.

    Jindal and Rubio, the “strong bench” of the GOP.

    I remember Jindal’s debut a few years ago on prime time, when he responded to Obama’s speech– and everybody laughed at him. That was so unfair. Rubio, let’s recall, has that great personal story of parents fleeing Communist dictatorship that proved to be… made up.

    These two are not quite as good as the top-flight GOP Presidential candidates, of course. They need some seasoning and experience.

    Jindal and Rubio don’t yet measure up to the likes of Bachman (a congenital liar); Perry (can’t speak in sentences, but can raise money); Cain (a buffoon on a book tour–but hey, willing to be flavor-of-the-month); Santorum (watch out for gay men in the shower!); Gingrich (hoping only to charge more for his speeches next year); and Mittens Romney (the poster boy for flip-flopping).

    Back to the fine young GOP politicians-of-color that Sarah mentions. We can expect to see them at the GOP convention. They will front and center, with plenty of face time. Their job is to convince TV viewers that Republicans are NOT the party of older white people who are afraid of Spanish-speakers and convinced that Obama is a secret agent from Kenya. They better drop a lot of balloons at that convention, otherwise the viewers will see what the party really looks like.

    …with so many parts of your comment and its overall tone, I don’t even know where to begin…

    …so I’ll just say that you seem to have some sort of chip on your shoulder and some reason to be hostile. Not my place to diagnose why, but I know your thoughts are NOT mainstream among conservatives.

    Be well and I hope you find some peace.

    You are such a wonderful representative of your Democrat Party. There’s no way you are a Republican. Deriding Cain over a book? You are the one who looks like the buffoon. And Rubio’s story is NOT made up. His parents returned to Cuba after there initial trip to the U.S. and left again on the heals of Fidel’s murdering onslaught. I’ll put Perry up against Obama anytime teleprompter free, there’s plenty of Video of Barry stuttering and constantly repeating his uhs and umms to the point of comic relief. He is NOT good at speaking off the cuff…but you know that.
    But please Benny keep speaking up and letting us know how you feel because like those idiots with #Occupy other Peoples Wallets, you just keep proving to the rest of the country what a total waste the Democrat Party has become.

    and quite pathetic considering liberals think they know what’s newsworthy.

    Mike and Sarah,

    Thanks for your replies. Right, I’m not a Republican. I’m one of those Independents that Mittens Romney will have to win. Clearly, I was not too impressed with Sarah’s “We’re not the racists–the Dems are!”. That doesn’t sound like a vote-winning argument. As for Cain…come on. He’s not evidence of a broad-minded GOP–he’s evidence of a panicked GOP. Why is he on tour everywhere but Iowa and New Hampshire? His plan was to sell books, not run for President! He didn’t know everybody was going to fall in love with him. And why do they love him? Because he’s not Mittens Romney. Is he pro-life? Uh, kinda sorta. Does he understand his own tax proposal? Uh, maybe not so much. Does he even know what a neo-conservative is? Uh, not really. And the rest of them? The other non-Romneys? Not even going there. So that leaves things with Perry. I’m rooting for him.
