The Republicans, Independents and the Tea Party are all about complaints with not a single solution in sight.
The nation obviously had no idea what kind of radical they elected. Given just a short year, most are coming to their senses.

He cloaked himself well, he hid all his documents from the public, he said all the "right" things that people wanted to hear.

Bamboozled, mesmerized, hoodwinked.

You are losing your cool when you resort to insults. You are above that delusianne. Just go smack your fearless leader upside the head and knock some common sense into him.

The nation definitely had no idea what kind of radical they elected in 2000 after Bush stole the election. Within one year we were at war. I would believe you more if you had said you didn't like Obama from the start and you knew he was dangerous but too many of your fellows were apathetic believing that there was no chance in Hell that he could get in. They turned on Moses too. A Prophets job is hard and thankless, a Messiah's job is even harder.

Within every race there are those who are prejudiced against others of their own race. There are many reasons why. I'm probably over-stating the case for anti-Black Blacks to be drawn to the TP, but this is a debate thread and I always exaggerate my position during a debate. After all, this is entertainment for us, right? I mean, it's not like we're helping America or our neighbors by spouting our opinions in here, so I get a bit rowdy and post controversy for the sake of getting reactions.

I find Tea partiers to be petty and confused. Black tea partiers, just as confused. I'm sure the Tea Party will do anything it can to ramp up a diversity image in preparation for 2012 but at the end of the day, they are still just whor@s. I usually aim to be civil, but yes, Tea Partiers seem to be whor*ing out at a rate that would rival the sales of a Tijuana bar maid. Sorry folks, your entire platform seems built on manipulation. At least the TJ bar maid does not distort the facts.

I'm mixed and I am an equal opportunity hater often times. But why blacks are drawn to the TP movement is beyond me.


And I hear you about posting for the sake of getting rowdy. I come to CD because I enjoy a good debate. But I think CD posters need to realize that just because their opionion is posted here it doesn't mean they have agreement or fame. Posting your thoughts here is monkey biz. It only means that there is a digital trace of your publicly web expressed thoughts. Thats about it. Engagement, that's a different story.

There you go again looking down on people who support the Constitution. You are the one who thinks your FL can do no wrong. Sad really considering that the real POTUS is George Soros.

With all the talk about teabaggers being racist (not saying they are) they probably treat blacks like celebrities
