Probably. Though I was aware of the pandering. I was hoping that the Republican party itself (the people in charge of the party, not the constituents) would back away from him if he was, verbatim, caught calling brown people inferior.

Why?  Have you seen any conservative forums, recently?  Seen any teabagger signs?

The GOP has never blushed about anything, so a little racism won't stop them.

I live with a Tea Bagger (he's a "Libertarian" now that it's popular), so I'm aware of the base's tendencies. And I was going to say something about the party needing moderates (who would be put off by racism), but now that I think about it, I'm waaay off. Once upon a time, maybe I would have been right, but the GOP has no need for moderates and has chased them off.

They started doing that in 2003, and finished the job in 2006-2008.
