>>And the tea party is racist because of what - their platform? No coloreds through the front door, bring back slavery, etc right?

>>It wouldn't be anything like some people don't like having a socialist government, or they don't like having a government continue to expand lifetime hand-outs (oops - I mean entitlements), or they don't like having the national debt increase more than the current state of insolvency. It wouldn't be just economic preferences that move people to certain political parties, right?

>The tea party is not racist. It's platform is not racist. There are, however, many members of the tea party that are racist. If you can't agree with that statement then you have your head buried in the sand.

I'm sure there are some racists in the tea party.

I'm sure there are a lot of racists in the Democratic party. Look at the NAACP (racist to the core).

Is there something in the tea party platform that is racist? Please explain in detail.

>I agree completely; the national debt is out of control. Every President in the last 30, 50? (too lazy to look it up) years has contributed to the national debt (unless you use creative accounting). Blaming Obama for the state of the national debt (I"m not accusing you of doing so but many tea party members do) is ridiculous.

>Again, I like the idea of a small, fiscally conservative government. I just think the Tea Party has been hijacked by racists, insulting, disrespectful scoundrels and it's a damn shame.

>Bill, show a little class and don't make remarks like waving to the President with your middle finger. You're obviously smart, so don't act like one of "them".
