93. If racism is your concern, why don't you have 98 posts about Newt?

Especially since he's putting out the rhetoric heavily right now in person. Plus he's got 20 years not of newsletters but of books, some of them recent and in print.

Where are your threads about Santorum and his "blah" people, or about the unbroken history of Republican appeals to racists as their voter base since the 1968 "Southern Strategy"?

Explain to us what makes Romney a better candidate for minorities than Paul, that will be a hoot.

The reasons Paul stands out from the Republican background and raises your ire have nothing to do with his being exceptional as a racist in this field. It's because Obama and the Democratic leadership have not deviated from Bush policy on war, surveillance, rights violations in the name of fighting "terrorism," etc.
