I can only imagine what they call President Obama behind closed doors...
Texas Republican on storm damage victims: "Don't try to Jew them down"
On Thursday night, a Republican Texas state representative made a gaffe that would even make George Bush cringe. During a discussion about payments being made to windstorm damage victims, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Windstorm Insurance, Larry Taylor, showed us more of the same from the Republican party with an outrages statement.
Taylor: Dont nitpick, dont try to Jew them down.
Once he made his statement, Taylor continued on with his speech, but knew he was wrong. Later in the day, Taylor released a statement apologizing for his actions.
At a legislative oversight committee hearing today, I inadvertently used a phrase that many people find offensive, Taylor said. I corrected myself immediately when I realized what I had said. I regret my poor choice of words and sincerely apologize for any harm they may have caused.
Taylor's statement is just another one in line of ignorant quotes from the Republican party. What this shows is that whether its presidential candidates or state representatives, the Republican party has no moral core. Republicans like to stand tall and claim to be the party of religious morals and ethics, but never seem to show them. They hold the values of Jesus up on a pedestal, but then continue to vote against the biblical values they claim to represent. The hypocritical stance of the Republican party is no surprise, but will Americans ever take notice?
