What is the Tea Party to America?
What is the Tea Party to America?
The same old core conservative group that has been pissed off at the state of the country since at least the 60s with a new name.
Dissatisfied white people.
funny, I thought they were Americans sick of the overspending by both parties... :shrug:

Well if thats not racist. :roll:
Possibly, but studies have shown that the tea party tends to be socially and fiscally conservative, not just fiscally. However, I believe during its early days it was only about fiscal issues, so you would be right too.

There is one black guy in this crowd. See if you can find him.
Here is another. Can you find the one Asian?
Tea Party rally pics could be used like "Where's Waldo" books, only just make it into "Where's the Racial Minority?"
I will grant that the premise of smaller government, lower taxes, and more accountable reps, would appeal to social conservatives, but given its limited platform, I think all these polls are an innacurate portrayal of the tea party. I think the underlying factors I outlined, appeal to more people than "social conservatives". I find it to be a more libertarian movement that not only appeals to the minority libertarians, but also a majority of many folks.
So you are saying the tea party activley excludes black folk? There are numerous black folks in the tea party, to suggest its a white movement is dishonest. I find your posts racist and abhorrent.

Still pretending to be a libertarian. :roll:
i would love for that to be true, but i'm sure there are no statistics to prove it. i think numerous might be going a tad far.
Oh, I'm sorry, over the noise of making your strawman you must have forgotten what I said. Here I will repost if for ya.

I asked you a question, a question by definition is not a strawman. FAIL.
The tea party may be about economic issues, but it does attract more conservatives than liberals, and more social conservatives than libertarians. It may have started out as a libertarian movement, but it has evolved since then.

Oh that was a question? The answer would be no. I'm sorry that you were offended by the two pics of tea party rallies that I randomly grabbed off of google images.
It's totally not a white movement. The fact that 95% of the movement is white is just a coincidence. :roll:
who the **** cares about your whining little race baiting comments? seriouslt, why is it always about race to you?

i know you have a history with trying to portray us as racist, by your illogic, so is havard, yale, and the rotary club.
