The Government Shutdown Is All About Racism

is this not what is the case today?
I actually (somewhat) agree with the premise of this thread.
Call it the "race card" or whatever you want, but the GOP has been
off of white racial resentment since the Civil Rights Era, and not just in the south. It's to Republicans advantage to stoke white racial fears, and they do it about as often as they can get away with. Why do you think seemingly innocuous things like welfare and food stamps infuriate so many white voters? Republicans portray government programs like these as taxing white people and giving the money to lazy black people. So their base sees any kind of government involvement as some sort of attempt to disenfranchise white people and give their money to (lazy and incompetent) blacks. This has been going on for a long time but they REALLY ramped up the rhetoric Obama was elected. Food stamp president, comes form "gangster" Chicago politics, etc.
So the whole thing with the ACA is reflection of the above. Forcing a government shutdown during Obama's presidency is basically a way to intensify racial fears and thus motivate/rally their base.
I wish this stuff wasn't true...I think it's actually a pretty unhealthy state of affairs when a populace is so racially divided along party lines (Repubs getting a large majority of the white vote, Dems getting huge majority of minority vote) but denial helps no one. So yeah, to a large extent it is a race issue. I'm hopeful that this type of race-baiting gets less effective as time goes on tho. It's mostly older, conservative types that go for it.

Obviously racism got a lot to do with things...but I can't help but thinks republicans would be just as insane if Hillary was president and swagging on the GOP like Obama is. They HATE them both.
that being said...this is spot on
How do you "compromise" with a baby killing socialist communist fascist racist Muslim? You can't. Which is why GOP congressmen can't even support shyt they like if Obama cosigns it. The voters in their district literally believe he's worse than Hitler, so supporting him=supporting Hitler. It's literally impossible to get anything done due to that.

I dunno about that.
There's no doubt they hate Hillary too, but if she was president she wouldn't be accused of being
1. Muslim
2. The "Food Stamp" President
3. Not a U.S. citizen
4. Racist who hates white people and/or having a spouse that does (supposed "Whitey" tapes)
5. Person that only got into college due to Affirmative Action and who is hiding his transcript

Actually, republicans don't get a majority of the white vote, or Obama wouldn't be president, nor would dems maintain control of the senate. The reason they occupy the house majority is because of electoral chicanery at the state level. Take away gerrymandering and republicans would be irrelevant in 2013.
Honestly, they need to fix their districts. Republicans are able to use gerrymandering to ensure they win the key states/countries and that's why they're in this clusterfukk.
shyt I didn't see this post but I agree on all points.

well, some of the views and actions of hitler were rooted in American domestic policy.Obviously racism got a lot to do with things...but I can't help but thinks republicans would be just as insane if Hillary was president and swagging on the GOP like Obama is. They HATE them both.

So you think strictly electing Democrats will fix things?

I be winkin' through the scope
Yep, just based off of my experience with arguing with whites about government benefits this is easily the biggest "
" subject in american politics
No it comes from the ground up.
Ok, so whats some strategies from the ground up? Occupy Wall Street? Tea Party? Ross Perot? Help me out here
I think the republicans are riding on the unpopularity of Obamacare. Obamacare's support peaked in September of 2009 at 51%, it's been dropping ever since. Today, only 40% of Americans support it, 51.5% of Americans oppose Obamacare.
This right here.
Democrats have a history of racism. From Bill and Hillary saying that Obama would be "carrying their bags" or "getting coffee for us", to Joe Biden saying Obama is the first AA candidate that was "articulate and clean", to Harry Reid being surprised that Obama doesn't speak "with a negro dialect."
But dems get away with it because they bribe voters with promises of free healthcare, housing, food stamps, and God knows what else.
No. At some point, most Americans will get tired of inflation and excessive taxation. Historically, this has helped the Republican party (Nixon: 2 terms, Reagan: 2 terms, Bush: 2 terms)
Also, there's that white elephant in the room.
She'll definitely be a "food stamp" president. She was on the board for Walmart and an attorney for Monsanto. She knows who her daddy is, she will keep them subsidies coming. Replace Muslim with feminazi, the GOP will find a way to demonize (e.g.: slut shame) her feminist views.

Republicants just don't like state control health care at all.
