Please check the extreme box please.

Screw the Tea Party.
Seems to me "dabbling in witchcraft" and "return America to some Christian theocracy" pretty well cancel one another out.

If the left were truly concerned about tolerance and diversity they'd congratulate the TEA Party on their willingness to include people from opposite ends of the spectrum.

And their political ideologies have exactly what to do with their religious beliefs?

It could easily be argued that crazy is voting for someone who's principal campaign strategy was "hope and change" without their ever having specified exactly what that "change" involved.

well i would think someone from NV would be pretty familar with Sharron Angle's Reconstructionist point of view.

What about the bold....seriously? have you, oh read the GOP platform recently. Might as well read the damn Bible.

I'm very familiar with Angle's belief in Constitutional government. Difficult as it may be for you to believe once you get outside of Las Vegas and Reno (both of which are overrun with California refugees) her views are widely embraced by Nevadans. We'd like nothing better than to see Reid become a sad footnote in history.

So now you want to bring up the GOP when you were previously attacking the TEA Party? Make up your mind which group you want to attempt to demonize.

You had a problem with O'Donnell having dabbled with witchcraft now you're bent out of shape about some imagined attempt at a Christian takeover of government. Is it really that difficult to stick with a specific aspect of a group whose political philosophies differ from yours that angers you?

Well i'm new to california, so don't take your pissy ass attitude towards this state out on me....at least we live near water and our economy isn't based on prostitution and gambling. 14% unemployment these days....hmm I guess the women aren't as fine as they once were.

Pretty soon the GOP will be the Tea Party, at the rate these lunes are going.

Where in the Constitution does it say America is a Christian Theocracy [a a la Angle] and that our laws are derived from God himself....just curious?

Where in Angle's platform is there any indication that she intends to force her personal beliefs on anyone? She's entitled to any personal beliefs she chooses to embrace. Your objections to the contrary are yet another example of "tolerance and diversity" as preached by liberals only applying to fellow liberals.

As far as Nevada's unemployment figures are concerned they're largely skewed by the drop in tourism that has impacted Reno and Las Vegas as a result of the crumbling national economy. Unemployment in the rest of the state is actually quite low.

How do you figure I'm taking my attitude toward California out on you? Should I somehow be offended at your inaccurate belief that Nevada's entire economy is based on gambling and prostitution?

You're awfully quick to hurl insults. You have nothing other than your own liberally slanted opinion to arrive at the conclusion all TEA Party members are loons.

Have a pleasant evening. I'm done with this pointless back and forth argument.

Most bi-racial (black/white) people are considered black and most self-identify as black.

I believe Obama is the first case I've seen where people are insisting that he's not black because he's mixed and actually get upset when people refer to him as black.
His mom is white, his dad is black.

Van Jones, Obama's "Green Czar" was an avowed communist and a truther, so using your criteria, all of Obama's confidants are "extremists", correct?

or "I dabbled in witch craft" So, just to be clear, COD's poor judgment in friends in highschool now qualifies as Tea party "extremism"?

or the desire to return america to some christian theocracy which it never was. Link again, please?

Please check the extreme box please.

Screw the Tea Party.
