The GOP is ALL about ra...Cohen is fooling himself. The GOP is ALL about racism. Why else would you have a "gag-reflex" over a mixed-race couple?? It's certainly not over "civil liberties and a small government rooted in the U.S. Constitution" - unless they are referring to the 3/5 clause of the Constitution. <br /><br />The Tea party is made up of folks who - even if they live in trailer parks - want to have someone to look down on. So they cling to racism - and that somehow being a white, christian, American makes them "superior". I would say what this reminds me of but Godwin's Law would apply.
