We don't need more Democrats. We need better Democrats.
I've already mentioned that Jay Nixon is running for Governor not as a Democrat but on name recognition and "independent record". He is a phony-Democrat and confirmed racist:
Jay Nixon, argues that court-ordered busing to achieve integration "is a failed social experiment'' that wastes millions of tax dollars.
Today, in a live chat on the STL-Dispatch website a reader made a great point.
Perry Nelson: Mr. Attorney General,
Why did you feel the need to file a seemingly activist (yet last-minute) brief on June 3rd with the California Supreme Court concerning their correct ruling on gay marriage? I'd appreciate knowing your rationale behind this action, especially since this matter has already been decided (locally) by Missouri voters. Thank you.
Jay Nixon: I was raised to believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. The California ruling was reported widely in the news, and it was important to make it clear that this ruling would have no bearing on how we define marriage here in Missouri.
In other words, he filed a brief in California court just to make sure that Missouri natives knew that he's still a bigot and thinks homosexuals are second class citizens. He just wanted to reassure other bigots that he wasn't about to give them rights. Make you feel better?
