what is this "Hip Hop Republican" thing ?

that teabagging congress member who uses cocaine is one of those considered to be "hip hop republicans". he talks about how he is into "gangsta rap" in some interview.

and we had Rubio who is a fan of Tupac and and that James O'Keefe douche making rap videos.

the older republicans seem to think these things will appeal to younger voters . do they really think young people will vote for a candidate based on what music they listen to rather than things like gay rights ?

CNN was propping that cocaine using congressmember by talking about how he is really a nice guy and really seems sorry. he use to be an intern there .

Witness Rove and Stretch either mocking or attempting to endear black voters?

They have the Democratic party performing a "last ditch" defense of a policy straight from the Heritage Foundation.

I don't think that was part of Heritage Foundation. Nor was subsidies.

On MLK day he visits an African American neighborhood and busts out:

Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?

Asks a black baby "what's happenin'?" and comments on his blingbling.

Also manages to throw in a random Michael Jordan reference.

all in all 5 star hiphopness toward the 47% he can't stand.
