By Jason Easley While rebuking anti-immigrant Rep. Steve King (R-IA), RNC Chairman Reince Priebus admitted that his partys platform is horrific..and racist. Priebus once again found himself rebuking Rep. King for more racist comments about Mexican immigrants, when he said, Using the word self-deportation its a horrific comment to make. I dont think it has anything to do with our party. When someone makes those comments, obviously, its racist. However, the Republicans made self deportation a part of their party platform last year. The Republican Partys immigration plank contained this sentence, We will create humane procedures to encourage illegal aliens to return home voluntarily, while enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas. In other words, self-deportation. Not only is Preibus calling his own partys platform racist, but he is also calling the 2012 Republican nominee, Mitt Romney a racist. During a January 2012 Republican primary debate, Romney answered a question about getting rid of illegal immigrants by saying, Well, the answer is self-deportation, which is people decide that they can do better by going home because they cant find work here because they dont have legal documentation to allow them to work here. (Audience laughs) And so were not going to round people up. [...] Well, yes, wed have a card that indicates whos here legally. And if people are not able to have a card, and have that through an e-verify system to determine that they are here legally, then theyre going to find they cant find work here. And if people dont get work here, theyre going to self-deport to a place they can get work. Reinces Pieces Priebus job is help Republicans win elections, but the guy just called his own partys platform racist. Does he think that nobody remembers what happened last year? Priebus just cant announce that everything Republicans have said, and are still saying about immigrants isnt what the party really believes. His problem is that either the Republican Party was lying to their own voters in 2012, or they are lying to the rest of the country right now. The Republicans have been using the same kind of anti-immigrant racism and rhetoric for nearly a decade, so it is a safe bet that he is lying to the American people now. Rep. Steve King and his blazing anti-immigrant racism are where the rank and file of the Republican Party are at. It is where they have been since George W. Bush tried to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and it is where they will continue to be as long as their own media keeps beating the racist anti-immigrant drum every day. Priebus isnt fooling anyone, but he did manage to confirm a truth that most of the country has long known. Racism is a fundamental part of the Republican Partys platform. http://www.politicususa.com/2013/08...-admits-republican-party-platform-racist.html I've often said that Priebus is probably the best Republican Party Chairman.... that the Democrats could have chosen. He's been on a losing streak since he took over from Michael Steele...and though likely to see some wins in November, maybe even a GOP Senate....his idiocy will hurt the Party in the 2016 Presidential elections.
