Republicans With A Black President

Republicans will use anything they can to attack a Democratic President.
Some of them are racists;  but more to the point, they know they can represent all the racists willing to vote. What else do they have?
How many votes will Republicans get in any race if racists stay home?
Republicans don't have numbers any longer. All they have are procedures.
They have to use what they can to make use of outlandish procedures in order to represent
underrepresented minority points of view.
That means they have to have all the racists they can muster ( and some people willing to sometimes vote with racists) if they are going to continue to represent anyone at all.
A great many Republicans know that Barack Obama is the legitimate leader of the free world.
But how many of them can admit that?
They have to placate the millions who believe we are still a country of 150 million.
I'm sure many Americans want to believe we are still a relatively small populace. However...
We are twice that now. We really are not in Kansas anymore; and even if we were, we don't live on
the prairie any longer.
Why did Atlas shrug? (by Ayn Rand)
He wasn't up to the task of knowing, or of figuring it out past the point where one group simply
exploits all the others. That was then.
This is now.
