It amazes me how easily the GOP supporters ignore the racist assholes in their party.

I could not vote DEM if we had 10 - 20% of our supporters and candidates who were flat out racist assholes.

If a Dem pulled the crap the racist GOP candidates pull at town hall meetings the Dems would Boo their asses out of the room.

I would not vote or switch parties.

Voting GOP while not calling out these racists is like supporting racism.

It is 100% true, not all Republicans are Racists but ALL Racists are Republicans!

If they did something about them, the GOP would be out of power.

In order to maintain power they have go along to get along.
