The problem with quietly supporting racists so that ignorant rednecks in the South will vote for your ticket is that racists are stupid people who will eventually say stupid things that call attention to the fact that your party quietly supports racists.
Strom Thurmond.
Jesse Helms.
Trent Lott.
George Allen.
Rather than being isolated instances, these racists indeed are just the tip of the Republican Party iceberg. The truth keeps accidentally flowing out of the GOP, and one has to wonder how much the Republican Party is still managing to keep hidden. The latest to slither out from under his rock is Tramm Hudson, whose comments ("...blacks are not the greatest swimmers, or may not even know how to swim") were made at a (nudge-nudge-wink-wink) "Christian" Coalition meeting, of all places (via Pensito Review and Crooks & Liars).
George Bush and Tramm Hudson

Republicrats are not any better at it then Demoplicans. Mr.Wallmart hasn't been exactly,bonded colorless.
The green party has been on the front lines of this battle.
"8. RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY
We believe it is important to value cultural, ethnic, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity, and to promote the development of respectful relationships across these lines.
We believe that the many diverse elements of society should be reflected in our organizations and decision-making bodies, and we support the leadership of people who have been traditionally closed out of leadership roles. We acknowledge and encourage respect for other life forms than our own and the preservation of biodiversity."
"Conservative Christian Is An Oxymoron."
Rednecks in the South? Are you fucking stupid? You're discriminating against Southerners. Racism is a form of discrimination, you dumbfuck. Not all Southerners are racist. Not all rednecks are racist. I'm not a "redneck" but I live in the South. I'm not racist and I know "rednecks" who are not racist.
Stick your head up your ass a little further, I don't think you've found the stick.
