Hey dumbfuck, I never said Republicans are being racist or sexist. Please don't put words in my mouth because that's AJ's job.

You want me to find a link saying Ros-Lehtinan is finished?

Then find one for Ros-Lehtinen.

You made up a position I don't approve of and assigned it to me.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who has led the Foreign Affairs Committee for the past two years, is stepping down from her new role and a new chairman will take her place -- resulting in a male-dominated committee.

Ros-Lehtinen had served four years as a ranking GOP member of the committee -- so she had served the six years allowed under party rules. The GOP said it would waive the party's six-year term limit for Ryan, R-Wis., to keep his chairmanship.

Ros-Lehtinen, who as chairwoman was the highest ranking and most visible Latina in Congress, said she did not request an exemption for the six-year term limit, saying Ryan was an exception because “he was our vice presidential candidate.” She said she had been happy to serve.

"It's been a great privilege and a great honor,"

Ros-Lehtinan supports marriage equality. How come Republicans couldn't find a leadership position for her elsewhere?

The fact is the GOP is mostly old white fucks. Sheer numbers dictate that chairs are going to go to old white men. But then the GOP needs to do a little soul-searching as to why it doesn't attract and develop leaders who aren't old white men. But they won't.

Ok, so it's mostly old, white men. Why is there controversy that the leadership is old, white men? Diversity for the sake of diversity is one of those dumbass American inventions that makes idiots feel better about their white guilt at the expense of common sense.

There's no controversy. It's just an illustration of what the GOP continues to embody after an election where they claimed to learn something.

Correct, plus your lame thread failed.

They were counting on the women's and Hispanic's votes to carry Romney to the White House. Women and Hispanics could not deliver, but white men did.

It's called a merit system. Why would the GOP want to reward failure.

[jeninflorida]

The Rep leaders also need to update themselves to at least the 20th century.

Make freaking pot legal for God's sake and free everyone in prison that is for possession and small sales.

also Gay Marriage, make it legal.

illegals is a harder point as people broke the law to enter the county. So, is the morally correct thing to do is deport and allow people a legal entry? Do we forgive this crime (but how do we not forgive other crimes)... Or do we use something like from the movie "Starship Troopers" where illegals can serve 2-4 years in the military to gain legal citizenship?

ps. sorry that I forgot to call anyone an asshat. for those asshats, I apologize and will try harder next time
