As I have said in the past….it has been a great year for anal statements and sadf to say that they just keep rolling in….eventually, these morons. both parties, no one is excluded, will realize that in this day of youtube, whatever they say will come back to haunt them.

This little bit of wisdom came from the mouth of a US representative, as reported by the AP:

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told a recent gathering in northeast Kansas that the Republican Party is looking for a “great white hope” to help stop the political agenda of the Democratic party and President Barack Obama.Videotape shows Jenkins, a Republican, making the comment at an Aug. 19 forum. She was discussing the Republican party’s future after Democrats took control of the House and Senate in the 2008 elections, when the presidency went to Obama, the nation’s first black president.

It shows that what I have been saying for months now…that the GOP was the party of rural white people holds true.  (Kansas is pretty rural, right?)  Rep. Jenkins has apologized for her choice of words, but Sen. Trent Lott made a similar comment and was chastised heavily.  But to be fair, the GOP is the white party in Congress and they seem to think that all discrimination is against white people.  And since the civil rights battles the GOP has not changed much from those days….so Jenkins was just parroting the obvious.

She may have apologized but that does not change the fact that all analysis points to the fact that members of the party feel that way.
