GOP Reaching Out to Minorities

In the Tennessee senate race the Republicans ran race-baiting ads insinuating the black Democratic candidate slept with white women and featuring African drums in radio ads every time his name was mentioned.

Now the Grand Old Party has elected Trent Lott (who last time he was in the news was praising segregationists) to the position of “minority whip.” Not too subtle there.

And they wonder why so few black people vote Republican and why the few black Republican candidates they can find have to masquerade as Democrats to try to get votes.
