Any Tea Party victories will be short lived, you can't win elections forever by alienating minorities (voters, Congress)

Criticizing the Civil Rights act, waving posters of Obama with a bone in his nose, saying Obama should go back to Africa is sure to turn off many minority voters. No future in an all White party. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I was really considering an Independent in a local Congressional race, but then find he is backed by the Tea Party. That was enough for me.
I just don't want to vote for an incumbent of either party either.
I support Rand Paul, and I'm a black female. I don't find anything 'racist' in his message and I feel anyone saying anything to the contrary is a race baiter...there will always be ignorant, reactionary people, that doesn't mean that the basic principles of limited government should feel 'alien' to a voter on account of skin color.

So how do you feel about his stated position that a limited government should not force private businesses to abide by civil rights law? Isn't that basically what Jim Crow laws were all about?

I've already stated that I support it. It's not up to government to tell a private entity who they can have as patrons. It's not about race, it's about the scope of the government.

Thank goodness for people like you that actually take the time to read before you talk! How many times will we have to shout down the those trying to manipulate the voters with lies.THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS ARE NOT RACISTS!

I have the feeling you are too young to remember what it was like before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and even for many years afterwards.

Fair enough. You are entitled to your opinion. I have read your opinion on this thread and others. You have stated that you support Rand Paul. I assume you have conducted a thorough analysis of his philosophy, political and economic views.
I only have one question for you. How do you feel about all the business establishments along, let's say 60th thru 80th St along Park Avenue (NY,NY) hanging up signs on their front doors that say "NO ******s or Spics Allowed Inside"?

LOL Whatever you claim you are.
Rand Paul's campaign manager got caught with racist comments on his face page and was forced to resign. Look how he referred to Martin Luther King Day.
He also favors private business''s being able to discriminate against blacks legally.
That really would really be bizarre for a black to support a candidate that stands for almost every issue hurtful to blacks.
You should call into FOX maybe they will put you on the air....LOL
