He got 45.3% of the votes, despite being a complete unknown at the time. That's very significant. The primary contributing factor to his current renown was the following speech, which spread like wildfire for good reason. It currently has well over 2,200,000 views. Please cease your baseless accusations; he should not be slandered by you, or anyone, just because of the color of his skin. You are turning into what you claim to hate.

It is a strange sense of deductive reasoning that could come to that conclusion. It is similar to reasoning that if I play golf, I must like pears.

David Duke embraces the "tea party" in much the same way the Louis Farakhan embraces the democratic party. Neither party wants them, but they chose the party, not vice versa.

In a similar fashion, George Wallace was a democrat, but I am sure that the party was not happy about him either. In contrast to the republicans, the democrats actually had him running for the democratic nomination. This, of course, is forgotten by liberals, who like to sweep thier ugly past under the rug quickly.

You can at least admit that conservatives only looked these guys way so they can say "see we are not racist" what ever. You are going to ignore the facts anyway so why does it matter.
There are a couple of problems with you rationale:1-no one except you said the Republicans sought these men and women out, did it occur to you, they may have seen an opportunity to become front runners? 2-I am saying, so, maybe he would have remained an unknown, that isn't the point at all, it is your point, but not the oveall point. 3-you need to know the difference between fact and opinion. All you are giving is your opinion and unless you can claim to be above everyone else on this post, your opinions do not translate into fact.

If these guys as you call them (by the way, they do have names) didn't agree it would not make any difference who found them...

You just wasted a lot of time. Nothing you posted addresses the points I brought up.

of course they do: you can't come up with an answer so you will try to flip it around.

1-you said the facts are: I pointed out facts and opinions are not the same thing: 2-you said the GOP went after these guys to prove conservatives are not racists: I pointed out, if they weren't interested they could have turned around and said no thanks, 3-you claimed these guys only came to the surface after Obama won and no one had heard of them til then: I simply said, so what?? Now what of the above issues did you not bring up???

Let me simplify then, playing the race card didn't work.

He sounds like any other politician to me. What is weird though he sounds like he wants to go back to the time in history when people that look like him were not doing too well. Incidentally, were the hell was he 8 years ago?
