Democrats: We Support Women and Minorities, Unless...

Democrats have long claimed to be the party of the "other" guy. They take great pride in telling women, minorities, or those of some "special" classification, that the only political party which adequately addresses their unique needs is the Democrat Party. However, the "needs" of these groups are not what drive the Democrats to clamor for their attention. Rather, it is the fact that these groups have traditionally voted Democrat that earns them the attention of the Democrat Party elite. Take a women or a minority who happens to be a conservative, and the needs of that person are not quite as important as they used to be. In fact, that person now becomes persona nongrata to the Democrats. A perfect example can be seen in the recent Bush nomination of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown who happens to be both a women and a minority, and guess what? She has drawn the scorn of the Democrats.

The article continues to play the race card. Judging and confirming someone on the basis of their color is no less racist than rejecting them based upon it. Ask yourself, If this individual were a white male would this screed been written?Are we supposed to be color blind except if the individual is a minority. It seems writer is adopting a liberal position in reverse.

It's also present in the NAACP, as long as you are a liberal person of color your 'in', but conservatives are shunned.

Hmmm.... from a brain-farted arrogant moment?

I think that each party makes a lot of noise about preserving and protecting the interests of those folks who are going to be on their side every November. I don't think that this tendency is peculiar to either the Democrats or the Republicans.

Please show me where the Republicans have stated that Democrats hate minorities, children, women, the elderly, ...

The issue isn't so much which party attempts to speak to these groups, but is more a matter of which party USES these groups against the other. (A: The Democrats.)

That notion is inherent in your claim "I think that each party makes a lot of noise about preserving and protecting the interests of those folks who are going to be on their side every November. I don't think that this tendency is peculiar to either the Democrats or the Republicans." My point is that you are right in principal but way off in style. Both sides attempt to preach to specific constituencies, but Dems claim that Republicans intend to kill those constituencies. Republicans make no such absurd claims against the left, though this may be due at least in part to the fact that only liberals would believe such claptrap.
