(45,984 posts)No, I do not believe every Republican in Congress is closet member of the KKK, but almost every one of them has actively played that card or remained while members of the GOP leadership did. Yes, Senator McConnell, I'm talking about you. And Senator Grassley.. And Mr. Issa. And Mr. Gohmert. And Mrs. Bachmann. They're all guilty of pandering to racism.
Of course the Republicans would have opposed President Obama, but it would not have been this vicious or nihilistic had the president been an Anglo-Saxon male. I wouldn't be so angry with the Reprobate Party if they had a coherent alternative to present, but they did not. Not once. In all the countless attempts to repeal the ACA, not once was there any hint anything better they had to replace it. All they were doing was playing the racists in their base, the white, beer-bellied rednecks you'd never want you daughter to be seen with.
