re: #201 HappyWarrior

I guess it’s kind of like segregation in that way. One has to ask himself what’s worse- the sincere racist who believes that blacks and others are an inferior race or the jerk who panders to that for power. It’s tough.

True. For America I want to live in, neither is acceptable. Personally, I lean towards the honest-with-themselves racist, in that you at least know what kind of piece of shit you’re dealing with.

The other option, which IMO many conservatives are comfortable with, is far worse. Exploiting such a corrosive view to the detriment of our country angers me to no end.

Not that what I think matters, but at least McCain corrected that batty birther at his rally in ‘08. I cannot even imagine Romney, Boehner, or any other conservative of note making even that feeble attempt. Lord knows the rank-and-file “moderate” conservatives I deal with rarely do it.
