DEMOCRAT RESPONSE TO REID RACIST COMMENT, PLAY THE RACE CARD

Harry Reid's racist remark concerning the, "light skinned," Barack Obama has caused a controversy which reveals the double standard of Democrats. Trent Lott was forced to resign for remarks that were much less than those of Reid's yet Democrats rally around Reid and plan to use the race card against Republicans to defend him.

Only a few months ago Michael Steele, RNC Chairman and a black man, was accused of being a racist because he opposed Obama's policy yet Reid is not considered a racist by Democrats with a very obvious racist remark. So the Democrat double standard is shining in all of its hypocritical glory.

Personally I do not want Reid to resign because he is doing a masterful job in showing just how bad liberal ideology is and along with Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are bringing down the Democrats. So in that respect he needs to stay right where he is.

Three GOP challengers are running in the Nevada primary to go up against Reid in the General Election in November and all three have a sizable lead in the polls over Reid. Reid has a 56% disapproval rating in Nevada and his numbers are sinking lower everyday, so forcing his resignation over the racist comments would only hasten his demise before what looks to be a November defeat. So rather than the GOP demanding his resignation they should encourage Reid to stay on so that his loose and big mouth will continue to reveal liberal idiocy.
