This guy kinda reminds me of George Allen.

Republicans who are vying to lead the national party offered a mix of reactions yesterday to the decision by one candidate for the job to mail out a music CD including the song "Barack the Magic Negro."

Chip Saltsman defended his actions, telling the Hill newspaper that the song -- and others on the CD, which was mailed to party members -- was nothing more than a lighthearted parody. But his rivals in the contest to chair the Republican National Committee said it carried an inaccurate message about what the GOP stands for.

It was a dumb parody song the first time I heard it. I was hoping it would not resurface. For those us who believe in fiscal responsibility,national defense, and low taxes a stupid parody song like this is not helpful to the cause.

My point was the Republican party could be inclusive because who wouldn't agree with the principles of fiscal responsibility, low taxes, and national defense. But we open ourselves up to much criticism with this stupid song parody

You call them things like welfare, rights for terrorists and....I guess higher taxes are always higher taxes.

Right, because five-year-money-pit-occupations are fiscally responsible.
