On Constituencies
Let me be clear about something. I've said one doesn't have to, and in fact shouldn't, overlook their other constituencies in order to acknowledge any specific one. In keeping with that, I have to say the Bushista Neocon agenda is so damaging to the overall collective that if the Republican Party adopted a pure-progressive stance on race and held to their every other policy, I would still have to vote against them.
All their promises would amount to being given a nice comfortable chair in a house they're burning down.
