After 911 we doubled the border patrol from 10,000 to 20,000 agents. Republicans in the House are now saying they must have another 20,000 costing $60 billion. Oh, and not giving them even a 13 year path to citizenship.
Since the Supreme court gutted the Voting Rights Act, within minutes Texas (Mississippi took a few hours) passed voter ID laws to suppress the votes of blacks, Hispanics, the poor and the young. The Republican war on women is going great guns forcing ultrasounds, closing clinics and outlawing abortions after 20 weeks FOR ANY REASON. [That FOR ANY REASON is the kicker in this that the media seems to be silent upon.] George Zimmerman is now out and he has is gun back. And Republicans passed the Agriculture Bill without any option to feed poor children while giving billions to big agriculture companies. Oh, and the GOP still denies global warming and evolution.
They are indeed REACHING OUT. To stupid white people. Their Base. Or as we call them these days, The Tea Party. That base may be dying off, but it’s painfully slow, while in the mean time they crawl through flowing lava to proudly vote their racism, bigotry and ignorance.
