GOP leaders don’t even try to hide that their sudden pile on the immigration reform bandwagon is a blatant, cynical, politically panic driven attempt to bag a few more Latino votes in future elections. The ploy won’t work, and a few of the more thoughtful heads in the GOP know it. The reason has nothing to do with the fact that many see their sudden pirouette on the party’s age old hostility to…

Much has been made that defeated GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney got more white votes than any other presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush’s presidential win in 1988. But the reason he did can’t be chalked up simplistically to racial fear, dislike and disgust with President Obama. An untold number of white Romney voters chose him based on party loyalty, political alliance, voting tradition, and a…

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got more white votes than any other GOP presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988 and he still lost. He trounced President Obama among white males, senior citizens, rural voters, and self-identified Christian evangelicals and he still lost. GOP ultra conservative congressional and senate candidates and incumbents were heavily bankrolled, got lots of media ink,…

President Obama was a good and a bad prognosticator about his future in 2009. In the first two weeks after he was sworn in for his first term he told an NBC interviewer that if he didn't deliver he'd be "a one term proposition." Obama knew better than anyone else that as the first African-American president, a moderate to liberal Democrat, and a relatively inexperienced, untested Oval Office occupant, he would be on the firing line to…

The GOP’s relentless war on alleged rampant voter fraud targets, not thousands, as many critics have noted, but millions of eligible voters. To no surprise, the Brennan Center for Justice found that the majority of the five…

Arkansas Tea Party leader Richard Caster gave all the appearances at least publicly of being a man genuinely outraged at what one of his Ozark Tea Party steering committee members said and did. Inge Marler told a meeting of the Ozark Tea Party in Mountain Home, Ark., on the Baxter County Fairgrounds a…

The new ploy among ultra-conservatives, right wing talk show jocks, on their websites, and blogs is to claim that President Obama has written off white workers in his re-election bid. This notion has even crept into a few mainstream…

The landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act must be renewed every twenty five years. In 1981 despite some grumbles and idle threats to oppose its renewal from a few in the Reagan administration, President Reagan dutifully signed the renewal legislation. A quarter century later, again despite the grumbles and…

Matt’s Damon’s petty, tasteless, and insipid knock of President Obama as gutless again got plenty of press mention. He used the more street, colloquial term to symbolize the president’s supposed cowardice but we’ll leave it at “gutless.” The almost irresistible temptation is to chalk this up to the star actors need to get a little extra…

Democratic presidential candidate Obama faced the problem. President Obama faces the problem. And now President Obama in his re-election bid faces the problem. The majority of whites still will not accept his presidency. The latest Associated Press-GfK polls once again told in stark numbers that the racial gap is just…
