Subscribe to RSSNBC's Luke Russert interviews Utah Congressional candidate Mia Love who is vying to be the first African American Republican Congresswoman in history.
Mia Love sees the campaign that President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are conducting as “disrespectful,” quoting the so-called “war on women,” and Biden’s recent comments on the campaign trail when he told a crowd that Republicans “want to put ya’ll back in chains.”
“Well, when you think about it, let's look at the 'war on women,' I mean, he's tries to politically get women to vote for men,” the Utah congressional candidate said. “And if you think about Joe Biden's comments, "They want to put ya'll back in chains," I think it's absolutely disrespectful to the office that they hold. I deserve a president that sees me as a human being.”
But Love feels that her race won’t be a factor in her effort to become the Republican’s first African-American congresswoman, saying that her race and gender “doesn’t matter.”
Asked how the Republican Party reaches out to groups its struggling with like African Americans, Latinos, women, and young voters, Love said the GOP just needs to focus on what she says American’s care about, which is the economy.
“I think that what they need to do is continue doing what the Republicans are doing right now, what Mitt Romney is doing, and that's focusing on the economy,” Love said. “That's what people really care about.”

Is this bimbo serious?
McNasty just sold what ever is left of his soul to the devil and this bitch wants to go there?
What a pathetic shell he is of the man he once was... and his little spawn should be ashamed!
Spare us all of your ineffective attacks Mia!
I'm still waiting to hear a concise message from the freak show in Tampa on what they will do to get this country back on track!
PS: Obama is the anti-Christ doesn't count!
Guess she's not black enough or woman enough for the tolerant racist from the left.
Tell me Mia, how does it feel to be used by the GNOP!
You might want to check with Palin about how they use women and toss them into the garbage when they are no longer an asset?
She got it right on the mark.... Great job Mia!! God forbid if you have an African-American female that doesn't bow down to Obama...
Awww, poor Feisty DumbFux.....It must suck not being able to make up your feeble, wittle bwain. Why don't you just belly up to the loonbat liberal bar and call her C*NT like Obummer's donor Bill Maher did?!?!
After all, why do you liberals insist on having this war on the uterus?
Racist pigs!
Liberals - Compassionate with OTHER people's money!
Siding with the rich folks is nothing new.
If the 1%-ers get their exclusive government all set up for the corporations, we shall see how Ms. Love's constituents fair under their hammer.
Scapegoating folks of color and marginalizing the 99% is what the Republican party does best.
LMAO!!!!!!!!! Oh mann....now THAT was funny!
Typical stereotype....the only one willing to go down on da brotha (Obummer for you knobs on the left) is a chunky redhead! LOL
they should check this b!atches bank account and see how much it's grown in the last few days.
Instead of the "campaign of hate" can any of you Barry Obummer gurglers enlighten us heartless conservatives what his plan is to balance our budget? Decrease our national debt?
How about create jobs? *cough*private sector jobs, not more IRS agents*cough*
I'll be standing over here waiting for anyone of these loonbats to provide an answer...........
.........*crickets*
I saw an interview with her sometime during the Olympics..she's a Mayor of some tiny tiny town in Utah, and she's a Mormon!..TeaPeople, Black, Female, Mormon....that's a 4fer!
She will be used and by the time it's all over, she won't even know what happened!
LOL...
Obummer - creating more excuses than jobs!
Michael - you should know better than ask any liberal what Obama's plan is. All you will get is.... uhhhh... ahhhh... let me make this perfectly clear... you are a racist.
Typical conservative, too god damn lazy to look it up while standing in the welfare line. What on earth makes you think anyone would want to spend a minute on an asinine request from a heartless conservative? Tell ya what, maybe after you educate yourself, which we all know will never happen, you post your question again, asking questions about his plan that are questionable to you? Perhaps then, you might get some takers.
Gad, do conservative posters on this site ever do an ounce of work, or do they just spout trash?
Honey, Sweetie - you might first start with asking that your church see you as a human being. Ya see, women cannot hold the priesthood, so unless you are married to a man of 'the right height', you are not going to get to the top tier of heaven. And while you are at it, you might want to get that church of yours to at least apologize for years of advocating that
blah peopleBlacks will never be worthy of tier 1 because they ARE the Curse of Cain.Now, my sincere apologies if this sounds rude, but according to the conservatives, including Mitt, we must see your birth certificate to prove a) you are black, b) you were born in the US, and c) to ensure you haven't confused the words Mormon with Muslim. I realize it sounds incredibly insane, but the GOP/TP have set the bar on this standard, and thus, being a 'show me your papers' nation, we must be absolutely certain that the words you speak aren't from a foreign Muslim.

At least you see someone happy to belong to a party, as opposed to people bailing from the Democratic agenda. Again, how many independents are now NOT voting for Obama? How many people have been disappointed that Obama didn't hand them their own version of paradise? Look at the polls and you can clearly see the dissatisfaction of people who were all "giddy" back in '08, and now are looking for someone other than Obama to lead them. They are the ones that Obama has forgotten. He used those folks (and they didn't even know they were being used) to build the excitement to get himself in the White House and now that he throws them a bone (i.e. executive order on amnesty) at the last minute in the campaign as a lame effort to try and recreate what he had in '08. Now it just shows how desperate he has become with the attack ads on Romney. If he wanted to truly show people what "accomplishments" he has supposedly achieved, then why resort to a negative ad campaign?
Well, that's odd. I've had conversations with Republicans over the last few days claiming they will NOT vote for the candidates of this asinine GOP/TP party. While they can't bring themselves to vote for Obama, they have clearly stated they will leave the presidential slot blank. This is how bad the GOP/TP is representing their party.
Red,
While that may be true, poll after poll have shown that independents (the bread and butter and the class that took Obama over the finish line) are NOT going to be voting for Obama this time around. Whether they swing to right, or sit on the sidelines, it clearly shows a huge segment of the population is not happy with the job done by the president. Spin it anyway you want, but Obama has lost a critical segment of his voting bloc since 2008.
Well shucks .. you bread and butter folks seem to think you own this election. Guess what, you don't. The bread has been split from the butter, and the butter has been split from the milk. Sorry dude, while you accurately describe yourself as a segment, you are a minor segment. The GOP/TP is so split, independents are so split, the idea that you can cohesively congregate behind any one candidate is laughable.
Red,
Obama cheerleaders have turned into the naysayers and will be split exactly the same way. If you think they are going to fall for all that "hope and change" thing again, you are the one that is living under a rock!
Backhouse--you say lets see how her constituents fair under the GOP-- wow do you really want to go there. Go back and see how her constituents which I assume you mean african americans have fared under Obama and the democratic economic policies in general. How is minority unemployment over the last 4 years? How has that entitlement mentality done for minorities in creating generational welfare? How have minorites fared in Illinois where Obama's economic policies have been put in place for decades? How has the education gap been closed as the democrats and their unholy alliance with the teacher's unions block reform at every chance. How has that worked out so far for you buddy?
Jen Psaki you should be ashamed of yourself. Show some respect even when you dont share the same politics. You are proving yourself to be a despicable person.
If You really want to know what the radical left thinks of ANYONE who doesn't lick the boots of their Communist in Chief and his Marxist/Socialist agenda, and isn't a Communist, Communist sympathizer ,or useful idiot, themself, just read the above comments, GOP war on Women? Really? Republicans, racists? .....riiiight, Now, these oh sooooo noble progressives who worship at the alter of Socialism,They are different, They don't discriminate!,No Sir! They simply hate EVERYBODY and ANYBODY, who is not one of them.
fiesty bot "I'm still waiting to hear a concise message from the freak show in Tampa on what they will do to get this country back on track!" my my. You've had hope and almost 4 years of change. Country back on track whats the matter witch you. barry husein has givin you the best four years of your life you ungrateful twit, how dare you throw your boy under the bus and imply this country is off track, lmao. You know fatsy redhead I wouldn't think all your name calling was jealousy and envy except the following facts: Mia has class and all you are is a classless libtard. Mia has a very interesting life you have fr and your pathetic whiney little friends, lol. Mia is beautiful in every way a woman can be, you however are a homely redhead with milk toast skin and a unhealthy complexion from many years of fatty foods, alcohol and being obese, lmao. Mia is vibrant and full of life, you however are lazy, alcoholic, depressed and angry because you have no life. So after all these truthful observations it is easy to understand why you are so vile toward this lovely woman, I bet after listening to her eloquent speech you were running around screaming why her, why her and not me. To who, you have no God you worship some freak with mixed race parents who claims to be black, after all he is as big a loser as you are BOT, lmfao.
What a smarmy jerk that reporter was. If I were her, the first thing I would have said to him would have been "First off, don't you dare marginalize me as a woman or a black by calling me a 'novelty' you sanctimonious a-hole! And wipe that condescending smirk of your face. You're talking to the next US Representative from D-4 Utah, not the next vacuous co-ed or alcohol-fueled cougar you'll undoubtedly bed next week at the Dem convention in Charlotte. You've seen day after day of women of power and people of color in power cross this stage. There is nothing 'novel' about me!"
Of course that's probably why I would never succeed in politics, because I would say something like that to a network reporter.
Mike in SA, you're nicer than I would be, I don't think I could even give those pungent liberal a— _wipes the time of day.
Our rights come from Nature & God....NOT government!
God has nothing to do with my rights, period.
All hippies say that 'til they're on their death-beds....lol
Is this first read? I mean the liberal slurping bastion of progressive thought? How dare they place a republican black woman on their pages. Where's the Romney hate? Where's the Ryan hate? Who do First Read think they are? They are starting to slip up... ohhhh... wait... this is a joke! This is a cruel joke!
BS!! The rights I enjoy are a function of government
Poor Micky can't go to sleep at night until Jesus comes inside him.
Tony
OK ,so you don't believe in God. So where do your rights come from, are they inherent or given to you by somebody in government that decides what they should be? If you are like kappa, and believe they come from government, then guess what, what government giveth government can just as easily take away. So unless our rights are inherent, as the Founding Fathers so correctly stated, than people are not created equal and the government can say and do what it wants when it wants without limit. Which is why leftist elitist are always seeking to expand the power of government, so they can control your life. They don't believe you have any inherent rights, just the rights they care to bestow upon you for the moment as it suits them
Government did when they brought my ancestors here. What was god doing then? Reading a paper? Couldn't be bothered?
Then why weren't the "inherent rights" of my ancestors considered by the founders? It's not that people aren't created equal, it's that groups of people have banded together and used their combined strength and arms to disenfranchise people. Rulers and serfs, Colonialists and the colonisedillustrate this point.
Is counter to legal and legislative history. Government expanded because society expanded. The "Founding Fathers" did not have to legislate aerospace, telecommunications, complex interstate issues (that where formerly left to the elites to fight over), civil rights law, the expansion of technology, wiretapping and other issues. Just go to your local law library and read the litigation behind laws. With out the laws the powerful and unscrupulous would just run over you.
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution, which states a "separation of Church and State" And btw, this government was formed "by the people" which means it's voted on, not dictated by one person. Sounds like you're one of those paranoid folks always looking over thier shoulder for enemies. Relax, enjoy life. It's much too short.
Mr.Obama is the one who ignores the Constitution and the laws of the land. Not to mention his belief that it needs to be scrapped. You don't need a Constitution when your rights are inherent. Take it away and they still exist. I guess you disagree with the language contained in the Declaration Of Independence
Hmmm....it would appear that that President Obama has changed the Campaign motto from:
Obama/Biden 2008
"Hope and Change"
to
Obama/Biden 2012
"Hatin' ~n~ Baitin"
Anyone with their eyes closed know the GOP clearly has a disrespect for the Africian American Community and Latinos. The GOP's interest in this woman is clearly because she's is Black and it's very sad that this woman has taken them up on their offer in an attempt to fool the African American or any other community.
Micheal Steel was only elected because President Obama was elected, after that they had no more use for this guy.
So the latest poll says that the GOP received 0% so this woman is saying that the African American community is not underestanding the GOPs position on her own community? Further that she's smarter than her entire community?
Unfortunately the African American Community has a small group of their own community who will do anything and say anything for a position, money, even knowing how it hurts their community as a whole.
I really feel for young African Americans who see this type of sad behavior knowing that she would not be standing there were it not for all the lives given, and so many in her community with the help of others whites, Jews included and others just to give her the privledge to have a place in America.
Everytime we see this behavior it's very sad, knowing her history, the history of her community, those who fought, died, bled, walked, marched, literally gave their lives up to give yourng African American a chance to Stand up not to Throw Stones at her own community and Stand with those who have their very Feet on her community's head.
I don't care how many respond to my post, they know it's true, Race in our country is the one subject no one wants to talk about. Her community's current Unemployment Rate is above 50% in many cities, Michigan African American Cities were taken over, their Democracy taken
It's a sad day when a Young African American Woman comes before the cameras in our country and say Race does not matter. Yes they want to make her a Rock Star in an attempt to prove to America that they like her community knowing all along that all the lies about Welfare, even todays's CNN African American Woman Reporter that was told "That's How THey Feed Animals" throwing food at this woman.
You have to ask why anyone felt it would be ok to come to the RNC Convention and treat this Young African American Woman like they Did, why were they so comfortable doing so?
Simply because the Environment to Do So has been created by the RNC Party.
This young African American Woman is very sad she has no idea the damage she's done to her own community, her relatives when someone in their community just completes ignores the facts, the entire African American Community is not stupid they revealed their treatment of the RNC in the latest poll for the Republican Party 0%
We can only pray for someone like this young woman and the Miicheal Steels of this world, know the hurt they cause, rather than running far away from this Republican Party they stand against their own community!
I respond......great truthful post!
I disagree. I've seen it too many times. I can claim I dislike Obama's policies... the next thing out of the gate is... Brianb you are a racist. I never mention race but I'm hit with that statement more times than I care to mention... the liberals are real strong at race baiting. You can be talking about foreign policy and a liberal will call you a racist. I have been hit with that broadsided remark so many times it's beyond ridiculous. Why do liberals do that? Can someone explain it to me?
I won't be holding my breath.
Yet the GOP has 4 women Governors, and 4 minority Governors (two Indian-American, two Hispanic)...
Dems only have one black and two women Governors..
Also, Republicans have elected more minorities in white-majority districts than Democrats have.. Apparently, more white Democrats are racist....
I've never seen BriBri called a racist, unless he starts a comment with the Black Messiah, or the Black President Odumber. Once thing is for certain is he hates women and gays. His postings on those groups clearly shows they are lower on the totem pole than the "Black President".
And I'm sure you can back that up with citations, including how many times any non-white person running for office was defeated by a white conservative candidate.
sandie
"Their community" isn't that being paternalist and the very same thing you accuse Repubs of doing? I thought we were all in this together and lived with each other? i didn't know we had separate communities, one for the paternalistic liberals and another for minorities. I guess that makes it easier for those on the left, that want to divide this country to keep minorities down by enslaving them to a life of joblessness and poverty in "their communities", to maintain their big government power trip. Just make 'their communities" life long dependent on a federal government that keeps them there, right sandie?
When people like Mia Love stand up to the oppression people like you and Feisty want to foist on them, you and Feisty are all to ready to try and slap them back down, least others begin to follow.
Sorry, conservatives welcome all people under our tent and we don't try too keep them there by tying them down to being dependent upon the government to for their very existence. We offer and strive to give all people as much freedom from dependency upon the paternalist state as possible. That is why they are increasingly running from failed the liberal 'progressive" ideology and policies
That was a thoughtful post. I agree with some of that prospect, but at the same time I must admit that what I knew as the African American Community, the American Ghetto Heaven, the Hood, the Block is no more. I actually have some respect for her in trying "to be somebody" in this world, even if by Afrocentric definition she's a "sellout". I mean Western Civilization has conditioned people of color, including Asian, Native American etc. that if you dont serve any usefulness to its Manifest Destiny agenda, then you will never be anything but a minority, a worthless one at that. Hence if you do, then at least you can be a tool, a minority with some purpose. Being a human being is not enough. But what my "fellow Americans" who dont fall into that category, and have been conditioned to believe that everything done envolving the colors of the Star Spangled Banner is righteous and justified by "God" or a piece of paper dont understand is that the flag and everything is stands for is just a ruse to blind them from seeing that the only color that really matters to any of those people on both sides is GREEN, or gold I suppose. When I look at this election I see on one side a "minority" used by a party with a shady past and ( win or lose ) is poised to take the fall for problems any mature adult could see he couldn't fix alone no matter what he promised, and on the other just, a puppet of the "majority" machine that will continue to do what it has always done, perpetuate the destruction of us all and bleed this planet dry.
Sorry, this post was in response to the post left by Sandie.
I heard a black man describe his people like a bucket of crabs about to be cooked. When one fights like hell to get out the others just pull her back in. Sad some of you have a vote. She is a beautiful eloquent woman and you just want to pull her back in to your pot. Grow up. You are the ones who are bigots, racists or haters. Wake up.
The hatred from the left is astounding. Where is the mention that her wikipedia page was used to spew hatred?
Wake up left wing America, you say (comments above) that she is being used by Republicans, but you won't do anything but ignore or counter-attack when the truth about how YOU feel anyone you disagree exercises HER right to FREEDOM of speech.
...as if that is something new and hasn't happened before to folks on both sides of the aisle.
It's out there. And given the propensity of the right wingers to resort to cheap shots, they are probably the group behind the wikipedia attacks. They have done it before to support Palin, and what better way than to attack their own and treat it like a vandal attack. Remember folks, Republicans will not hesitate to stoop to the very lowest actions for a bit of media attention (notice, the only story on this is Fox News, and only Fox news has original copies of the content change). Inside Job anyone?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/29/mia-love-wikipedia-page-vandalized-with-slurs/
Wow didn't take long for the "Party that cares" to start calling this beautiful articulate woman names. OH I understand, just as long as you "carry the water" for the Democrat Party, you are not considered an "Uncle Tom", by the left....aayy.... fiesty? Whats wrong with you Mia, why can't you simply stay on the Democrat plantation, and make speeches about how you were never proud of your country, until you were elected Mayor?
REALLY FIESTY, do you think you are fooling ANYONE, with your Palin example? No one on the Right threw Palin away, she knew if she played a prominent roll in the convention, you liberals would be dragging up your "you betcha" jokes, and those have gotten as old as your "its Bushes fault" lines.For you on the left the "glass ceiling" is fine to break through, as long as you are a lib.
If you are going to be a hypocrite, at least try and make your point believable. Yep, you won't see Rev. Al or Jessie, or even the femin-nazi's stepping up to defend Mia or Sarah's right's, to believe and say what they wish. Nor will any liberal on this comment vine, no you will all pat each other on the back, as you spew your hate filled vile remarks. Yep, the Party that cares..................
So only the right is supposed to spew hate? You have ultimate rights over the hate messages. I don't understand why you don't first of all stick with the truth, second of all be respectful and third of all state your policies which differ fromObamas. Well I guess third of all you would have to figure out what those policies are. I have no doubt with all the bellowing about spending that if the republicans are elected they will spend what Obama does and more like during the bush years. Ryan has no problem with spending. It is just he spends on corporate things and things that help big business because he doesn't believe you are obligated to help people. they are on their own. that is his philosophy and he holds to it pretty well doesn't he. The problem I have with your free speech is that you squander the opportunity with spewing hate and not mentioning one policy at all except do everything opposite of Obama regardless of how good his policies are. And that is sad. And the way you guys act we are supposed to be proud of America. For hateful spiteful things. I am not proud of that.
Mia Love you are being treated nice now, but lose your election and you will be hearing "Don't call us, we will call you", like never.
We dont need polls to know the state of the Presidential race. We have the "Feisty meter".
The more despicable and disgusting the comments of the paid leftie blogger Feisty Redhead, the better the GOP is doing...how low can she go?
The Feisty meter is at "9", out of 10...things are looking good !
I must say the majority of times I have no clue what she says because her words are always collapsed by the time I see them. Why don't you let her say them. Noone collapsed anyone at tHE republican convention did they and they were pretty hateful.. In fact everytime they open their mouth some hate comes out. So I don't think a little bit from the liberal side will hurt anything. Just ignore it like WE TRY TO DO! Oh and I wonder how the disgusting right is going to do with the Democrat convention. I bet they get pretty hateful if the past is prologue.
I had no idea there even were any black mormon females or males.
What about 10 or twenty?
Wow
I was visiting in Utah in the 70's when my host told me the Church leader(I don't know his formal title) just had a revelation that black people were not considered children of Saten anymore. This revelation took place just as the Justice Department was about to cite the Mormon church for discrimination.
Of course, if you live in Utah, you must be an LDS'er or you don't exist. It's as true today as it was then.
I wish this lady well, but like someone above said, if you don't win, don't call us.(GOP)
She don't know that she is just a tool for the REPUS because they figured they get NO Afro American votes so now they have to rush and try to do DAMAGE CONTROL and she disrespects EVERY WOMAN on the Planet to stand behind a Group who thinks there is legitimate RAPE , dumb Heifer (as they say in the South)
~~~~ Mormons same bad as the Scientology Idiots~~~
Disrespectful? That takes the cake. Does she have earwax in both ears. And besides one of the candidates was exactly as disrespectful. Oh but they have a pass they can be as vile and repulsive and malicious and hatefilled and they are respectful. Right! Get a life! I think the republican brains have left the planet!
Oh foshizzle. Mia "whoever the hell she is" Love (Love? how ironic) is a Condi-Wannabe. From Utah? Give me a break. She ain't nothin' but an Afro-Am poster child for the Republican't party. You could probably count all the Afro-Ams the Republican'ts embrace on two hands. She's doomed.
I heard a black man describe his people like a bucket of crabs. About to be cooked. When one fights like hell to get out the others just pull her back in. Sad some of you have a vote. She is a beautiful eloquent woman and you just want to pull her back in to your pot.
Ed Craft, grow up. You are the ones who are bigots, racists or haters. Wake up.
It is utterly amazing how the bigots come out in support of this porch monkey! This person is not an aa,she is from haiti, so if she is so hell bent on saving something she can take her simple misguided a$$ back there an clean up that hell hole! Boy i will be so happy when this damn crossburner fest is over and these people go home! I wonder what her black a$$ had to say when the two crossburners were throwing nuts at the black camerawomen calling her an animal? But i guess it's ok for this string wig wearing swamp running gutter bitch!
jumper1 is a GREAT example of the enlightened & tolerant Left..... TOO FUNNY!
Look, facts are facts, the Republican party took a position to do what ever they could to make sure this President failed at the expense of this country. No other time in 30 years has any party done this since I have been voting.They would not meet 1/2 way anywhere and even when their own ideas were added they still refused to accept anything put forth. I am a Marine and former athlete and their guy was passed on as team QB so they decided to drop every pass, fumble every ball and blam the President. If that mentality is acceptable keep following these guy and believe they are looking out for you, because you are the 1%. They attack teachers and civil workers yet they pull down 200-450K as congressmen....no wonder they won't increase taxes on themselves, or MAN up like we are taught as Marines, make sure your troops are taken care of before you are. Did any of you hear them ask for pay cuts or sacrifice their lifetime benefits??? Sheep, go ahead and be led off the cliff.
It is unfortunate to see a black woman given the circumstances surrounding this election .. two in fact.. trying to bring down a black president. But this has always been done throughout history. The white agenda has invaribly used black women to down black men and keep them in their place. This was particluarly true during the days of slavery.
Anyone how cannot see the inuendoes in Paul Ryan's message last night must be blind. His message was to his base which is conservative white right America. When Republicans talk about the founding fathers creating the country and returning to those times they are sending a coded message of exclusion. They are not referring to the majority of today's Americans. There are no founding fathers who were men of color.So to return to those days and those standards also means reverting to the way one thinks about other races. Biden's comments were spot on and if blacks and Hispanics stay home and let Romney and Ryan steal this election.. which they are attempting to do. Check out the agencies that are working to secure this election ... photo ID's; intimidating voters at the polls..... If you think hanging chads were something just check the trenches this election. This is the Conservative White Right last stand and they are pulling our all stops. Ryans speech last night was nothing more than a tirade against the president with a few flashy soundbites thrown in.... NO SUBSTANCE> And he blatently....Obama/Biden 2012
How nice of you, a black woman must support a black man simply because he is black. Racist much?
Yes, how dare she refuse to camp on Democrat plantation. Yeeesh, do you even know how racist you sound?
How about that Chris Mathews? Is there no end to what he will attempt to do to shore up the sinking Obama presidency and empty campaign?(see the clip of his diatribe on Morning Joe) Mathews, once again, was the one attempting to inject racism into the campaign by his usual tactic of race baiting and fear mongering. While shouting down those that seek to give reasoned responses to his drivel. This is a very typical ploy by the far left to try and steer the discussion away from the issues and truth. The public knows better and sees through sycophants like Chris Mathews. It is a shame that Mathews has decided to give up what little journalistic integrity he had to become a partisan hack shill for a failed presidency. A presidency that is based on an ideological outlook that has never produced a viable system to go along with the freedoms and values Americans cherish.
But , alas, Mr. Mathews knows that his arguments are not winning the day, as is evident by the abysmal ratings his show, and the others on the MSNBC nightly lineup, receives week after week and month after month. Of which, I am sure, Mr. Mathews is painfully aware, but can not help.. Most likely he is , indeed, singing his swan's song before he is put out to pasture by the powers that be at NBC. .But, of course, that will not deter Mr. Mathews from continuing to ratchet up the fear mongering, race baiting and divisive rhetoric as the nation turns away from a president that has very little to offer, in terms of concrete viable actions, to follow up on his empty rhetoric. Mr. Mathews is a mirror image of everything that has been wrong with the Obama presidency and the American people are not buying it anymore.Too bad many of his fellow 'journalist" are all to willing to stand by and allow Mr. Mathews, and his ilk, to drag the discourse in this country into the gutter, at a time when the nation should be having a serious discussion, based upon reality, instead of the trash coming out of Mr. Mathews mouth with increasing frequency.
And of course there is Feisty. Nearly the first word out of her gutter mouth is "bimbo"and then "bitch". Which of course, if someone on the right used that language to describe a black woman would ignite a firestorm of major proportions.God forbid that an intelligent woman like Mia would step out from under the enslaving liberal left mantra and express an opinion different from the drivel that comes out of the mouths of people like Feisty and Chris Mathews. Especially if she happens to be black.
HEY, FEISTY, thanks for confirming that you are the real hypocrite and the one using blacks as your toy to shore up your lame arguments in support of the failure in the WH. I'd tell you to go sit in a room with Chris Mathews and scream at each other all day, but why bother, you two are mirror images of each other so just stay home and scream at yourself in the bathroom.
BTW, many of us predicted that this is precisely what the sycophants on the left would do once they realized Obama was in serious trouble. Race baiting and ratchet up the fear mongering. Sooo predictable. That is why minorities and women are no longer buying it, the looney leftist have yelled fire way too many times for anyone to even hear it, let alone have any basis to believe it.
Race baiting? Um? Most Republican ads and GOP speakers at the convention: welfare reform, Santorum's food stamp in re the "blah"(black) people, calling Pres.Obama the food stamp president, He's(Pres. Obama) not an American(birther) issue, He's a communist, socialist, He's not Christian but Muslim,He's a monster, kid's at one school drawing pictures of Pres. Obama being a target,shot in the head, etc.(pictures were taken by a parent who was really troubled), too many evangelicals of national fame calling into question Pres.Obama's faith even though he says that he believes in Christ as Lord and Savior but at the same time saying that although Romney is NOT a Christian, he follows Christian principles(Go Figure??), even if Pres. Obama did not embrace gay marriage or abortion, THEY still would not endorse him for obvious reasons. Commentators on many stations, including conservative media have and are stating that Romney/Ryan must get about 61% of the white vote, knowing that they will get the vast majority of white men; remember the GOP is about 90% white which doesn't bother them at all! Why? Looking at the laws being enacted at the state level. This is really were the battle for freedom for AA,Latinos and other people of color must be won! If we think it is bad now....If R/R win, the clock will be turned back to pre-civil rights days of Jim Crow, which is subtly coming back now in states but disguised as laws the states need. Yeah right!
Fear monger much? Try to get a grip
Dear Mia, race does not matter, but inteligence and the ability to govern for the people, by the people, of the people, the MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE, does matter, that is why Democrats, Independents and some informed Republicans voted for President Obama and will do so again November 2012.
Many voted FOR Barrak in 2008 to prove they're NOT Racist... many MORE will vote AGAINST him in 2012 to prove they're NOT Stupid!
A black Mormon.....LOL,so I guess she didn't find herself worthy of going to Heaven, unless she was a faithful SLAVE.Oh, that's right God changed his mind in 1978.....LOL
Why is it the libbies seem to have such a personal problem with someone being a Mormon ? Is there not freedom of religion within our country ??
If someone were to dare to question whether Barack Obama is actually a "closet-Muslim" pretending to be a Christian, the screams and outrage could be heard from Chicago to L.A. and New York !
The truth is "progressives" are tolerant of other religions ... but ONLY if they are Democrats ! LOL !!
is SHARI short for Sharia oh tolerant one?
Mia Love feels that her race won't be a factor in her effort to become the Republican's first African-American congresswoman, saying that her race and gender "doesn't matter."
Conservatives are color blind in comparison to black Democrats that feel they need their own caucus to work within a party that was once the home of Jim Crow & the KKK.
How are conservatives color blind when they have used racial undertones against Obama for the last 3 and a half years. You have racist in both parties but the GOP is by far more overt with that non-sense. I support not laying back on the government but the GOP uses government for things like wars(which they have no problem going on wild spending sprees for) and want to destroy social programs. They also talk out of both sides of there mouths they want smaller government except when it comes to woman's reproductive rights they have no problem with government interference in that.
The reason that black people (male or women) get ripped apart when they are in the GOP is that they are used by the GOP to represent black people as a whole and that is not the case. If you put Obama in a race against a black republican for president, Republican's STILL would not get the black vote. They do not actually represent the values and views of most minorities.
The basic problem is minorities, for the most part, have no real values, as they pander to the Democrats for a free ride and endless entitlements. If it was not for the educated, hard working whites, there would not be tax money available to fund their cherished freebies and handouts. Honest evaluation, not racist, but then again any criticism of the black minority by a white person triggers an automatic response of racist, regardless the validity of the statement.
Minorities have no real values what a blanket statement. If people white black or whatever are racist they need to be man or woman enough to admit what they are instead of denying it. You are not a racist(whooo) you are just plain stupid.
This woman is full of you know what. Bowlmovement.
I guess "tokens" can still be cashed in today!? This woman is out of her natural mind! Does she really believe that the Republican party is user-friendly to African-American women!? Ms Love, in my opinion, is an opportunist and nothing more!
In fact, the only non-white people that the Republicans do attract, are the ones in denial, and the wanna-bees!! People like this women have been duped to think that there are no strings attached to the Republican, or even the Democrat's version of the American Material Dream - I don't believe that every soul has a buy-out price, but the numbers of those that do, is much higher than any calculations that I can reasonably make!
How sad that you do not believe a black woman can have a mind of her own, that she is not free to be a Conservative without being called a "token" or other horrendous names. Don't believe it? Just read thru the comments on this thread. Shame on all of you.
