How much of a non-story will the lack of GOP at Selma be?

I'm shocked they can't even make it look like they care. How hard is it for GOPers to be there, planned months in advance? How little will the media report on this extremely telling story?

Yes, because my presence, or lack thereof speaks volumes as to what any politician stands for.

To answer your question, I couldn't possibly afford it. But thanks for asking.

And they don't seem to have the ability to be sincere about anything. Except this, they sincerely don't care about black people.

And repukes wonder why they are always called racists! Are they really all that dense?
