If the "Jenga Republicans" could get away with it what WOULD they do ?
Edited on Mon May-02-05 05:24 PM by SoCalDem
I think they would "round up" all Hispanics and run them out of the country. I don't know exactly where they would send them, but unless they built a wall on our border, they know it would not work.. I sometimes wonder if there is a secret plan somewhere that has not seen the light of day yet :scared:

The ones I see on TV are so careful to couch it as an argument for unemployment of "real" Americans, but I feel deep down, that this is NOT the real deal.. They have shown little real compassion or zeal to repair unemployment issues for ANY part of society, except for their rich contractor cronies.

They are Xenophobes, and are angry that some "undeserving" person mught get a food stamp here or there, and send their kids to school on OUR MONEY ...


What do YOU think they would do if they could get away with it ?

edit: I am calling them Jengas, because they so love to "pull pieces" out of government,and then pretend they had no part of the eventual collapse:)

1. What about Alberto "Speedy Execution" Gonzales (aka Torture Man)
He is Hispanic?

I don't think the GOP power players are Xenophobic. For them it's all about class.

It is very un-pc to despise Hispanics or Blacks, but is it un-pc to despise poor people? No, it's not. In fact, it's considered reasonable. They are "lazy", "freeloaders", "if they want to get on their feet, they should get off of their ass", etc.

Class is the issue. They are channeling that current of hatred that has in earlier times been directed at other races, and are now directing it to the underclass. It's not about the color of your skin, it's about the zeros after the first digit in your bank account.

2. Oh there is a more than a touch of racism
in their silent platform. That's how they pit poor whites against everyone else. The powers that be may consider it all about class but the rank and file are taught to hate based on skin color and cultural differences. Remember Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott.

My biggest fear is that if the "jenga" were to actually let loose the dogs, a race war would be the end result.
