The RNC sure knows how to win over voters
Aug. 30th, 2013 10:34 am"They asked a long list of Republicans to come and to a man and woman they said 'no.'"
—Julian Bond on Wednesday's ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington
Fox News got in a snit because there were no Republicans on the podium making speeches for the anniversary. George HW Bush and George W Bush had good excuses, the former is in very poor health and the latter just had health surgery, but all the rest? Jeb Bush declined to appear, so did the Republican Congressional leadership. They all declined. They were invited, they just had better things to do than to mark perhaps the seminal civil rights moment in the United States.
It will be interesting to see if this affects them in the mid-term elections next year.
