F#ck Yeah, we are racists. So what? – Donald Trump
It’s the blacks coming up from Ct. and New York selling the drugs and f#cking our white girls. You’d be crazy to not be racist. – Paul LePage
We are going to get rid of food stamps because, f#ck it. – Jeb Bush
Of course our only goal is to simply to f#ck shit up. Haven’t you been paying attention? – Paul Ryan
It is impossible to be shocked or surprised by Republicans these days. They have been as unguarded about their goals as they have been about their prejudices. [The statements above have been only lightly paraphrased.] As the ante continues to be upped, I’m sure, by the GOP convection, one of the GOP candidates will call Cornel West a nigger, and I wouldn’t rule out that person being Ben Carson.
I suppose the only surprising thing left is how Democrats never seem to make Republicans pay a price for being so unguarded. Although, then again, with Democrats like John Carney, who think that Republicans are still good faith partners in governing – I guess that isn’t so surprising either.
