That, for you is leading Republican candidates spewing racist remarks? OK. Thank you. You've answered my question.

Not many people understand the impact of some of his policies. After sitting in a full day meeting with folks from FL--including two elected officials (one liberal, one conservative)--I have a better understanding. The mess he made by doing something as monumental as doing away with the state department of labor is shocking. But you wouldn't understand--and why should you? I didn't until it came up in a meeting with FL folks who were stuck picking up the pieces of the clusterf%^*+ he left behind (on many levels).

Again, I don't hate him. I think he's better equipped than most of the other yahoos on the slate.

Last place Jeb isn't anti-Latino...but he's anti-woman and anti-gay. And based on his policies in FL, I'm pretty sure he's anti-black and anti-poor.

Did you know that he abolished the state's labor department? And you want that guy in Washington? Keep him down in Flori-duh where he belongs.

You're pretty sure he's anti-black and anti-poor. he's anti woman and anti gay, just because you say so? Can you give examples of him 'spewing' statements that indicate that he's racist? thanks.

Dude, I'm at home with a sick kid and I need to get the house clean before the in-laws arrive next week, so I'm not going to drop everything to post links to Jeb's ridiculous policies that demonstrate that he is--wait for it--a republican. Abolishing the states labor department was a pretty big F you to the working class---and the working poor more specifically. You know who comprises the working poor in FL? Minorities and single moms. And you understand that he's anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion, right?

I never said Jeb was spewing racist remarks...I said the leading candidates were. Trump.

Nice back pedal. I would say be prepared to lose the next election. People just aren't buying the "I'm pretty sure..." paintbrush these days.

No back pedaling. I'm intrigued by your lack of awareness and basic commonsense...as well as your delusional belief that Jeb is a leading candidate. I realize that we just might lose the election. I've observed "the best and brightest" that red states have sent to the Hill for the past several years, so I understand that a sizeable portion of the electorate is either misinformed or easily manipulated into voting against their own economic self-interest.

Best of luck to you and Team Jeb. Remember when his own mother said she hoped he wouldn't run? It doesn't get much better than that.

I actually probably won't be voting for Jeb, but I'm sure he and his team appreciate your well wishes. It's early days in the campaign. Jeb is at a pivotal point. He may fade or surge. Most people would consider him the candidate 'annointed' by the Republican party, and in that sense 'leading' from the get-go. Most people consider Trump and Carson 'disruptors' just like Sanders is a 'disruptor'. And yes, they are leading candidates as well, of a disruptive part of the parties and they should be paid careful attention too. As to Jeb, he may not have the numbers, but he has enjoyed the backing. So, where are we. Oh yes--you said the "leading Republican candidates" spew "racist remarks". That's all I'm asking about. Not Republican policy you may disagree with but what the leading Republican candidates--whomever you choose to include--have spewed that is racist? because I've watched the debates, loosely followed the campaigns, and missed some kind of racist demagoguery that you stated is happening right and left.

If anything, this video will have people voting for Trump more than ever. As much as I dislike him, if he is the frontrunner, I will. We do not need people breaking our laws, and then telling us to fuck off when we call them on it. It is obvious that their offspring are learning the same thing-anchor baby or not. And yes, they are nothing more than anchor babies.....not just the hispanic ones, but all of them.

OMG. Your racist rant and ridiculous attempt at justifying your hateful beliefs are precisely why I would feel like a failure if my kid grew up to be a republican. Thanks for your post--I can't wait to show it to my kids as it presents a great teachable moment.

Are you from the DC metro area? If so, what's your highest level of education? Just curious.

Just wondering if your third grader attends a school that is over 50% minority-in particular Hispanics. Move to Langley Park and get back to me. By the way-Ivy Educated with a PhD.

Oh, so it's okay to be a racist if you are an ivy educated white person living in Langley Park. Who knew?

Question: how does an ivy educated white person end up in Langley Park? Just curious what life choices prompted that. And wondering if your racism is a product of misplaced anger/disappointment?

For the record, I happen to like LP. Great restaurants.

My 8 year old understands why MoCo and PG have a thriving Latino population due to the politics and violence in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras over the last two decades. Do you?

If you lived in Langley Park I doubt you would say the population is "thriving". I'm surprised you set foot over there to get a taco. I live in Mclean-we are likely neighbors....and I am not white (how "racist" of you to assume that). You also make it seem like no one with an Ivy degree should live in LP-why? What is wrong with illegals and their anchor babies?

Why so much anger if you are living it up in McLean? And what has prompted your racist views and obsession with anchor babies?

As I said before, I like LP. And no, we are most certainly not neighbors...I'd never live in such an elitist, conservative area. I know two families who moved out of there in order to save their children from being raised in that bubble. It's not a healthy environment.

Nope. You think you are making a valid point, but you are not.

Sticking with your rationalization, there's nothing wrong with wetback, spic, chink, nigger, etc.

You can't carve out a special exception for anchor baby since anchor and baby when used separately are acceptable words. It doesn't work that way. It's a racist, derogatory term. Period.

I would never say the above terms, much less type them. Anchor baby is not in the above category. There is not debate about the acceptability of your words above. There is not debate that FU is a gross swear word. There is debate about anchor baby. It is a politicized term, and last I heard-it was actually acceptable in the United States for people to disagree over politics. The point is if we focus on parsing every word with nuance to the 9th degree we may end up not being able to 'talk' at all. Except in FUs, which I guess you don't find offensive. You seem very comfortable with the picking and choosing if you are the one doing it?

Honestly, I don't dislike Jeb as much as Trump, Carson and Cruz (who are all uniformly crazy). Jeb comes across as more evolved and enlightened when compared to that group...but that's not saying much. Gentle suggestion: google Kasich. He's the most rational guy in the pack.
