The recent protests by the Tea-bagger movement against the health care bill went, by any reasonable person’s estimation, way over the line when they hurled insults at Congressman Frank by calling him a faggot. They also went over the line racially by calling Congressman Lewis, one of the bravest and most honored civil rights leaders alive a … (n-word). Of course while that was happening a Tea-bagger also spit on Congressman Cleaver.
Still, the GOP honored and endorsed these actions by not only attending the rally in support of it, but by also refusing to condemn the obvious racists and homophobes that were also there. The GOP has married itself to the lowest and most base of racists and scum in this country by continuing to support that people who bring racist signs to their rallies and signs that threaten the life of the President and his family.
Make no mistake, the people attending and condoning this behavior are not Americans. They are those who openly advocate over-turning a lawful election because they simply don’t like who was elected or his policies that he said he would implement if elected. In short, they lost and they are off and determined to stop President Obama, even if that means violence. They are of course sick and deranged. Still that said, why do they have the backing of the current GOP leadership?
The answer to the above question is simple, power. The current GOP is so stung by it’s loss last year that even their formerly honorable leaders such as Mike Pence are willing to embrace the disease of racial hatred if they think they might win their votes. Of course there are the more airhead lunatics of the right wing such as Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin, but the truth is that they are mostly harmless idiots. When it becomes really dangerous is when you have so-called leaders of the GOP like Mitch McConnell or John Boehner who also attach their names and support to the new KKK, simply because they want the control back. They have accepted the disease as a path back to power and to with America and what it’s supposed to stand for. They would rather win by any sick and racist means and rule over a broken America, just as long as they are the rulers. We should be very afraid of and fight this illness.
So, the question becomes, does the GOP leadership have an obligation to denounce the homophobia and blatant racism of the current Tea-bagger movement or is it really what they believe? Are they as racist and hateful as the group that they seem to support or are they using the rednecks and gay haters just as a step to try to regain control of the government?
The current GOP leadership has chosen to lay down with the sickest animals of racism and hate. They have to choose. Are they that power hungry or are they Americans first.

President Obama Address to Congress & Nation
http://gopleader.gov Appearing on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed a effort underway by Republicans and rank-and-file Democrats in Congress to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to post all major bills online for at least 72 hours before a House vote to ensure that the American people and their elected representatives can review them. The effort is being led by Reps. Greg Walden (R-OR), Brian Baird (D-WA), and John Culberson (R-TX). More than 160 Members of Congress have already signed onto a Walden-authored petition that would force Speaker Pelosi to allow a vote on a House rules change requiring a 72-hour review period. He also touched on the Democrats proposed government takeover of health care and media reports suggesting that Speaker Pelosi plans to bring up a House bill that is more liberal, more costly, with more government involvement than ever before.
