Va. state senator blames racism for Romney gains
“Mitt Romney, he’s speaking to … a segment of the population who does not like to see people other than a white man in the White House or in any other elective position,” Lucas said Tuesday. “Let’s be real clear about it — Mitt Romney is speaking to a group of people out there who don’t like folks like President Barack Obama in any elective or leadership position. We know what’s going on here. And some people may be afraid to say it, but I’m not. … He’s speaking to that fringe out there who do not want to see anybody but a white person in a leadership position.” ![]()
Lucas is a member of Obama’s “Truth Team,” speaking on the president’s behalf on various campaign issues in Virginia. Obama’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) objected to Lucas’s statement.
“The Governor found the comments to be divisive and flat wrong,” McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin said via e-mail. “They are out of place and out of touch. This election is about who can best get Americans back to work, spending under control and our nation back on track.”
The most dangerous time in American history? If Obama loses, it will be from the election to inauguration day, 2013. He will sign so many executive orders and give so many pardons, and his regulators will pass so many rules, that we will effectively had a new “hidden” constitution that not even Romney will understand or undo. Transformation will be Institutionalized, and to “change” the institution back will be deemed racist, and therefore impossible.
I disagree, when the truth comes out and the birth certificate is published this presidency will be voided and all actions of this administration will be voided.
Does that mean Kagan and Sotomayor must step down and Romney will get to replace them?
I am encouraged when I hear or read drivel like hers. It tells me the wheels have come completely off the campaign and they have nothing…absolutely nothing left to point to but hate and division. The Obama campaign is starving and this is pretty thin gruel to keep it alive.
