Democrats Don't Practice What They Preach - Their Dirty Little Secret

Oh noes! A study of staff hired by political campaigns, conducted by the New Organizing Institute (NOI), has revealed two interesting facts: 1) democratic campaigns have more diverse staff than republican counterparts and 2) Democrats pay minorities significantly less than Republicans.

As reported by The Daily Beast, the facts revealed in the NOI study are quite a embarrassment for Democrats. Political operative Michael Gomez Daly worked on two congressional campaigns in 2012 with similar budgets. On one campaign, Daly, who describes himself as “a very light-skinned Hispanic,” was brought in as a field director, primarily for his skills as a Latino operative who could reach out to the Hispanic community. On the second campaign, where they did not know he was Hispanic, “I just came in as ‘Michael Daly,’ instead of ‘that Latino operative,’” he said. “Right off the bat they offered me twice the amount for the same job.”

Congrats go to Democrats for their outreach to include minority voices; however, how can they claim to be the party for equality when they are proven to not practice what they preach? For decades, Progressives have painted Republicans as old, white, racist men. This divisive picture has helped to earn minority favor; however, it appears, this support has been won through deceit as revealed by their hypocrisy.
