A REPUBLICAN hispanic political analyst, of which there are few, recently criticized the democratic party for "divisive" politics. The democrats, so it seems, are always organizing themselves according to ethnicity, "women for obama", "african-americans for obama", "gays and lesbians for obama", and so forth. Evidently, this is divisive.
The analyst neglected to mention that these various types of democrats are not each other's enemies,
but indeed, comrads - arms, so to speak. In actuality, they are often seen lunching together, attending churh and other social functions together, even occasionaly getting a game of tennis; all without apparent incident.
Meanwhile, surveys consitantly indicate that obama and his allegedly divisive democrats are widely perceived to be more compassionate, more caring, more tolerant and understanding towards all the various groups listed above than the non divisive republicans.
Mitt Romney might not have added much to the republican image when he remarked, several months ago, something to the effect that he isn't concerned about the very wealthy or the very poor, because the former take care of themselves, while the latter are provided for by america's welfare system.
He might want to take that one back. On the other hand, he might not.
Along comes representative akin from missouri, assuring us that women who are raped legitimately, (as opposed to those who are raped illegitimately) are incapable of becoming pregnant thereby, owing to a miraculous capacity of the female body to selectively fail to achieve pregnancy under such adverse conditions.
We can assume he regrets the remark.
If republicans continue along these lines, they will be forced to scrounge up extra wealthy white males, in order to overcome at the polls the cumulative effect of the various divisivve democratic groups.
