Cesca on Repugnicans

Bob Cesca on Republicans:

I guess it's too much to expect that the Republican Party would run in this election based on its record. But when that record is so drenched in scandal, incompetence, greed and, most tragically, blood, the only thing they have left is their tendency for racism, homophobia, terror and outright intolerance.

But you know, it's not without calculation. The saddest statement of all is that these tactics actually work within the Republican base. Nothing is going to increase GOP turnout more than its fear of gays, miscegenation and Hollywood crusaders. Case in point, why do you suppose not a single black senator has been elected in the South since Reconstruction? In other words, these ghoulish tactics speak almost as much to the attitudes of the Republican base, which prides itself on its moral values, as it does to the party's leadership: your Mehlmans, your Roves, your Cheneys and Bushes.

And they have the balls to say the Democratic candidates are running on a platform of hatred.
