    Tom Horner, the Independent for MN Gov, was pushing that idea also.

    Keep in mind though that the Tea Party might've also cost the Republicans winning the Senate. Also consider that there is also in fighting among establishment Repubs and Tea Partiers so the Tea Party might also lead to an implosion of the Republican party.

    i could care less what does and doesnt win elections. the tea party has a LOT of white people. i dare to say almost all white people with a few others sprinkled in. they fear change of many different types of things.

    whats funny though is they can do all they want to try and stop that. but its going to happen regardless. some of those guys will have daughters that will marry a black man. they will have a son that will be rainbow gay. it doesnt matter what they think they can do about it by saying white house just got too big these last 20 years. those are two different things, but somehow got lumped together.

    i understand where they are coming from, change is very difficult for some. they have a hard time getting out of there box. im just glad i could give a damn who i have been friends with in my life, who i dated. besides considering what kind of person they are themselves ( besides you know if the girl was hot or not, no fattys here)

    maybe the tea party will bring about some positive change in D.C. but as far there bitterness to most things different then themselves they can hold that bitterly tight until they are old as dust, but they wont be able to do a thing about it.

    maybe they could have alabama and build one of those fences like they want around the border and then you can hang with this dude and then bang your wife after a 6er of tall boys.

    I disagree with the article. The majority of wingnuts and Tea Partiers and whatever have made most of their decisions based on fear, stupidity, and a lack of critical thinking - not race.

    Sure, race is probably a factor, but it's probably a factor in everything - I felt like the tone of the article seemed to imply that it was much more of a factor regarding Obama than I feel it was.
