Never because of someone's race, i am not this ignorant to do that. If i do not believe in the integrity, of the person, his being sincere, honest, has experience, business sense, can help our economy grow, no way no how. People did this with this President, and look at what we got with his HOPE AND CHANGE NO YOU CAN'T. The way it is going these days on both sides, race would have not a thing to do with it, experience, and someone that knows how to solve solutions not talk about them. In my opinion honestly both sides have failed us miserably.

Understand please, the race has not a thing to do with it, but you seem to not understand this, for me it does not matter, his inability to lead, and do what is right and just for us the people is the problem.

Unless you suggest they voted for Obama???
I would suggest that many voted independent--nationally, independent voters make up close to 1/3 of all registered voters. While I don't self-identify as a Tea Party member, I do enthusiastically share their call for limited government and I vote(d) independent.

Although many teabaggers and conservatives will swear that race has nothing to do with these signs, I don't believe them for one second.

Exactly.

What this thread fails to highlight is the fact that Cubans (generally) do not associate or consider themselves as being "Hispanic" or "Latino". Many other Latino ethnic groups (Mexicans, Guatemaleans, Panamanians, etc) do not like the "better than you" attitude of the Batista Cubans. And if you want to see a real fight, call a Cubano a "Mexican".

Umm...FYI, the title of the thread states that this thread is about race

Its so very odd that the truth about the "real" agenda/motivation behind the Tea Party gets them all discombobulated when confronted with proof.
