Republican Racism Knows No Bounds

Virginia Republican Rep. Virgil Goode:

• “I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States,” if we do not adopt “strict immigration policies.”

• Opposes the minimum wage because it would "be a magnet for illegal aliens to come to this country. We do not need a strong magnet to lure illegals here.”

Virgina Republicans like Goode and Macaca Allen are doing their best to push their state further and further away from being solidly "red" by showing their true colors. Americans, no matter what state they're from, showed in 2006 that they are no longer easy marks for politics of racism. The GOP is going to have to come up with some real ideas to make the country a better place before voters even think about trusting their government with Republicans again.
