You sound a lot like Spence.

Seriously, this is a pretty big deal because the media made it one. Front page MSN stuff. You know as well as anyone that people are going to read the headlines and pass judgement based on what they read. Doesn't make it right, but it's how people are. You may use critical thinking (now I'm using Spencisms) when looking at something like this and dismiss it as nothing more than a politician targeting a specific group to get their vote. Most people don't put as much thought into things, especially all those dumbass rednecks down in the buttcrack of America (now I'm using JohnnyDisms).

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
