Will the GOP draft Tom Ridge to run for the US Senate against Specter?
Ridge is a very popular former governor of Pennsylvania. He struggles with support from the Right because he is pro choice. He would likely be much more appealing to Dems and Independents than Toomey, Santorum, etc.
4 AnswersElections1 decade agoIf Obama kissed and held hands with a Saudi Prince would the Right see it as a two equals meeting?
I've seen several posts from the Right claiming Bush was showing strength and dignity when he kissed the Saudi Prince. They also claim bowing is completely different and "subservient". What do you think?
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy are the Right fixating on Obama's gift to Queen Elizabeth but ignoring the GOP's attempt at a budget?

"Obama's Middle-Class Task Force Has No Middle Class"

5 AnswersElections1 decade agoGeorge Allen and Minority Outreach...perfect together?
Washington Post, Tuesday, August 15, 2006
"At a campaign rally in southwest Virginia on Friday, Allen repeatedly called a volunteer for Democrat James Webb "macaca." During the speech in Breaks, near the Kentucky border, Allen began by saying that he was "going to run this campaign on positive, constructive ideas" and then pointed at S.R. Sidarth in the crowd.
"This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, macaca, or whatever his name is. He's with my opponent. He's following us around everywhere. And it's just great," Allen said, as his supporters began to laugh. After saying that Webb was raising money in California with a "bunch of Hollywood movie moguls," Allen said, "Let's give a welcome to macaca, here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia." Allen then began talking about the "war on terror."
Depending on how it is spelled, the word macaca could mean either a monkey that inhabits the Eastern Hemisphere or a town in South Africa. In some European cultures, macaca is also considered a racial slur against African immigrants, according to several Web sites that track ethnic slurs."
