"Now, I don’t even want to have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away. I don’t want that to happen to us, but if it does or not, he’ll still get, properly so, the blame because his policies for four years will have failed the American people."  *

The term "tar baby," with origins that stretch back to an 1881 Uncle Remus story from writer Joel Chandler Harris, can be used to imply that a situation is difficult to solve. But in more recent history, the term has developed more derogatory connotations related to describing African Americans.

In 2006, TIME magazine discussed the usage of the term "tar baby" when Mitt Romney issued an apology for his use of the term -- Romney claimed he merely wanted to describe “a sticky situation.” However, Oxford American Dictionary Editor-in-Chief Erin McKean told TIME that “what’s really important is not etymologically what it means, but the effect it has.” McKean noted that Oxford American would note that "tar baby" can have derogatory connotations in newer editions.

*quoted from Congressman Doug Lamborn, Colorado.

And I would bet if you ask him if he was a racist, he would say "no"

These Republicans are evil, and they hide behind religion in the name of Jesus.
