Actually, it is the Democratic Party that pushes race based policies. Obama would have lost the primary to Clinton was it not for racist blacks.

Typical impression of a racist trying to justify their attitude......

Because they Tea Partiers did not exist when Bush's policies were failing this country. They started protesting before Obama even took office.

Maybe you were on another planet then. The Tea Party started in 2007 with Ron Paul. Bush was in office through 2008.

The fact is there were many tea partiers who jumped in to oppose Obama. This is because Obama is a Democrat, not because he is black.

The term 'Tea Party' wasn't used for a modern political movement until January or February 2009 - after Barack Obama was sworn in as President. Anything Ron Paul started in 2007 didn't use the term and was more a libertarian movement; and Libertarianism existed before Ron Paul ever took elected office. And you've got to admit, the Tea Party includes more than just libertarians.

Generally, the tea partiers(most identify with Modern Republican beliefs) hate President Obama because he's a Democrat. Look what the Republicans did to President Clinton. If any other Democrat would have become President, they would have hated him just as badly. The whole race thing just turns the notch from 10 to 11. hard to tell the difference when the vitriol is that high.
