1. Finally a reason to repect a republican. Did you watch Lawrence O'Donnell tonight? nt

[malaise]

2. He had an excellent program

By the way did you hear the moron on CNN suggesting that Obama should condemn slavery and become the first President to do so. I hope he doesn't - that is the job of the white racists

[Snotcicles]

3. O'Donnell and the panels he has on, kickass on racial discussions. And no I missed the CNN bit.

I agree that needs to be white atonement.

[malaise]

4. He had a great program last night as well

He has excellent guests

[Snotcicles]

5. Did you catch Michael Steele on hardball getting all giddy over Nikki Haley? That man can stoop. nt

[Snotcicles]

6. C-ya I'm turning in. nt

7. you mean she isn't the hero of all of this ?

8. I really enjoyed what he had to say

Watching him speak and hearing his words . . . Knowing how much his father hated my existence -

That wasn't political expedience. Just one man who wants to do the right thing.

Contrast that to Rabd Paul's politically expedient words - just wow.

[malaise]

9. Contrast it with Nikki Haley's playing to all sides

and yes Rand Paul was awful but then he took money from CCC and we know he's a racist.

10. Hillary "evolves" and Haley "flip flops"

Got it.

[malaise]

11. Are you serious

Huh?

[1939]

13. The other day

There was a thread on Clinton's previous opposition to gay marriage and her supporters claimed that she had "evolved" which struck me when I read about Haley's "flip flop" of the old saying, "I am firm, you are stubborn, he is pig-headed."

[malaise]

14. Except that Haley flip-flopped on the racist flag

in days not over a period of time and my point here is that she still is attempting to cover all bases.

I am no Hillary fan but her position on this racist terrorist act was clear from day one.

12. Well- yeah

Nikki Haley in the course of a few days did the politically expedient thing to make sure she is part of their V.P. Selection process.

Elizabeth Warren evolved too - she used to be a Republican and then for some reason in the late 1990's became a Democratic party member. She was well into her 40's - and at one time needed public services (Community College is a great example) to get ahead. Then looked up and realized she was wrong to get ahead and not reach back and help others up. It was a slow process. It was an evolution.

Same with Clinton - slow evolution.
