Once again it is the Democrats bringing up the race card.
IOWA CITY Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius publicly considered the possibility that Sen. Barack Obamas race might be a factor in this years presidential election during an appearance here Tuesday.
Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American? Sebelius asked in response to a question about why the election is so close. That may be a factor. All the code language, all that doesnt show up in the polls. And that may be a factor for some people.
The remark, delivered in the governors low key, folksy, out-from-behind-the-podium style, raised a couple chuckles but few eyebrows in the downtown Iowa City crowd, but Republicans took offense and responded in short order.
Governor Sebeliuss remarks in Iowa City today are hurtful and divisive at best, said Republican Party of Iowa Executive Director Caleb Hunter in a press release. With less than 50 days to go, Democrats will continue to try and change the focus away from the issues that will decide this election.
The rest of Sebelius remarks in Iowa City stuck closely to the Obama campaigns talking points.
The bottom line question is, do you think George Bush has been a wonderful president? she told an audience whose questions focused as much on the horse race as on specific issues.
One questioner argued that Obama was under-performing in polls because young voters with cell phones were under-reported, and Sebelius agreed. I have a 24 year old and a 27 year old and theyve never had a land-line since they went to college, she said. So they dont show up in polls. But they need to show up at the polls.
Yet at each turn, Sebelius tried to return the dialogue to bread and butter issues, to the delight of Bob Elliott, a former member of Iowa Citys city council and a leading local supporter of Sen. Joe Biden during the Iowa caucuses.
Lipstick can stay home! Talk about the issues! he shouted, in apparent reference to another governor.
During a brief press availability, Sebelius said she didnt know much about her Alaska colleague. Shes one of our new governors, and Ive met her at a couple of events that all the governors were at, she said of GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. But weve really had no personal interaction. The real issue is John McCain vs. Barack Obama, and their policies could not be more different.
Sebelius responded to criticism from Kansas Republicans about her campaign visits, and implied that the campaigning went hand in hand with her job.
I can do a much better job as governor of Kansas, and Chet Culver can do a much better job in Iowa, if we have a partner in the White House instead of an adversary.
I am so glad I got out of Kansas.
All the code language, all that doesnt show up in the polls.
"Code language" indeed . . .
When a liberal/Democrat starts talking about "code language" it just means they can't find something their opponent actually said to attack, so they make something up, ascribe it to their opponent, and attack that instead.
The latest I've heard is that "community organizer" is "code" for "the N-word."
These people are losing it, they really are . . . panic has set in.

Yes, but lets all thank God that noone in this election campaign has actually said something as offensive as, say, a joke that combines part of one candidates' convention speech and an unflattering animal. Then we would be in serious trouble.
Swedish Hells Angels?
Are they all blond and tall?
Can you picture a big, mean, angry biker gang dude named Sven?
Do they meet in the sauna to plan their dastardly biker gang crimes?
More importantly, do they have cycle-towed saunas to take with them as they scour the highways & by-ways for trouble?

Mock on.
I am not endorsing the phenomenon. I am telling you what is brewing. This is what happens when you have feckless socialist regimes that look the other way when immigrant gang-rapes become a daily affair.
As I said, Unreason breeds Unreason.
And, yes, it will happen here.
It almost sounds as if you've been over here, because you speak the Truth?.
Last case, while not a rape was only a week or so back. 20+ guys, all of them immigrant of course, attacking 1 single Swedish girl, kicking her in the head. Most newspapers didn't find this very newsworthy for some reason, probably because the both the victim and the criminals had the wrong skin color. Had it been whites attacking a non-white, they would've been hauled in approximetly 45 minutes after it happened. Fortunatly there are still some among us who have Viking blood and Amanita spiced mead running through their veins, so they went after the enrichers. Suffered some injuries for it, but they got the respect of Odin only knows how many people. The guestbook for their hockey club was overrun by praise and well-wishes and promises of support.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to mock you. I just find the thought of a Swedish Hell's Angel to be highly amusing.

I don't follow.
I'd have expected no less than racism from an anti-Second Amendment bigot.
Exactly
With quotations taken so completely out of context, it's really quite ironic. The Rush Limbaugh quotation, "shut up or go home," was actually his take on Mexican immigration laws.
