Are most GREAT Republican speakers of recent times bigots ?

[JI7]

by great i mean passionate articulate inspiring etc. just about what would make anyone be a great speaker.

but in terms of message, are most of the republicans of recent times who are great speakers also bigots ? anti gay or racist or anti women etc ? some examples are alan keyes and the other religious fanatics in their party.

i don't pay attention to republicans much so maybe you all can give some names of great repubilcan speakers of RECENT TIMES and we can see if most of them tend to be the hateful type.

Ronald Reagan was a great speaker, but he was also an actor and that's pretty much what he did in giving his speeches. he didn't always understand what he said but he knew how to say it.

1. Elizabeth Dole is probably the only thing resembling an energetic speaker

The rest are either boring or just plain mean.

2. There are republicans who aren't bigots?

Didn't know that.

3. I heard Rush Limbaugh use a racial slur this morning

One that was sometimes applied to Indochinese people during the Vietnam war.
