GAWD, you two are certainly obtuse. No we don't want to be held to a narrow standard, but since there seems to be a standard we damn well want it applied evenly.

I agree, I dont think the guy is a racist, but had a Republican politician or a conservative talking head said that, they would have been driven out of office or off the air. I dont think he needs to leave the Senate, but step down from his leadership role is what should be expected. IMHO..

I wish the republican party would **** about this already and move on... no this is not that bad, it's stupid to make it as big a deal as they are... so called "republicans" need to clean their own mess up... quit being a sore foking loser and put reid and his cronies out of business by doing the RIGHT things... I'm tired of their excuses, man up and make your values/actions right or get the fok out....
