    is it not racist to devalue the lives of people living in the middle east to justify our foreign policy?


    ...now don't get me wrong, I am not defending the tea party nor claiming a large base of their followers aren't racist.. their candidates in fact support the same foreign policies.... but are we actually taking our political stance based on principles, or is it just a zealot following of a particular political party?

    if it is the latter then we're only enabling said prejudice behavior

    So since 2010 he hasn't been able to pass any of his economic agenda and the economy has gotten better, maybe that's because his lame agenda has been on hold for three years.

    To the OP, why do you assume that the only reason people could have to dislike Obama's policies are personal?

    Thank you for your candor. It's a live and -- hopefully -- learn from it proposition; that is, learning that you have to be rather cynical where the promises and the promoted backgrounds of national level politicians are concerned -- especially when the mainstream media is promoting him or her with over the top articles and op-ed segments -- and that still does not guarantee that you won't get fooled again some day.

    A brief rule of thumb Crow, my man, anything that takes more than a thousand pages to write and generates ten times that many pages of rules and regulations isn't going to make anything cheaper for very many people at all.

    I certainly did cherry pick. I don't want to promote hate by showing the chimpanzee, atavistic or other inflammatory signs I came across... which of course are a critique of President Obama's fiscal policies?

    That's been going on for decades. I don't think that the guy holding up the "HUSSEIN" sign is the sort that has much sympathy for this issue.

    I don't think that sitting down and shutting up is going to help. I think that the civil rights movement was a positive and there is no need for the movement to discontinue. Too many minorities vote for candidates who hate them. I'm with the GOP members like McCain and Christie who are finally speaking out against the Tea Party and their bigotry.

    My earnings are devalued because of printing policies.

    My health insurance costs have more then doubled for me, my family and employees. The cost increase alone is about the same as my mortgage payment.

    My income has gone up significantly, I think I am in the top 17% now.
    Life has been wonderful. Planning a month long European vacation and going to buy a 3rd personal car to have something to work on and for sunday drives (thinking about an 80's Vette)

    It doesn't? Prove it.

    Horrible because the majority, if not all of those people, consider themselves part of the TEA Party and it proves that you are wrong? Because that is exactly what it does.

    Deny the truth all you want. It still doesn't change the facts... and those facts are:
    1. The TEA Party is not a Political Party, but a movement of people who call themselves members who are registered voters who are registered Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Libertarians.
    2. The TEA Party is multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-race.
    3. The movement that later was called the "TEA Party" began and organized before Obama was elected.
    4. The TEA Party is and always has been about fiscal responsibility of government and were against TARP--- the bailouts under Bush.


    Everything else you think is all manufactured tripe.

    You all ready have it so what difference does it make? The truth is, you'll ignore the fact or any evidence contrary to your inaccuragte beliefs.

    Dishonest? Really? Care to prove such nonsense?

    Yeah, sure you did.

    Different? All of them have looked different. Do you expect them all to wear powdered wigs?
