Does it? So the TP was the only one voting in the straw poll?

Well obviously if people voted for a man who is allied with the so-called "tea party" then they must support said party in spirit and ideology. Point is, the tired old canard of "racism" has yet again been shown to be a spurious charge at best.

It was Hermain's FIFTH straw poll win. Tea Party voters are out in force in the primaries, so I would say they are having a big impact.

Go Herman!!!

So funny that there are people on this board tonight who insist that the tea party is racist when it comes out that Herman Cain won the straw poll.

Rub their faces in it; they deserve it.

The right is sooo obsessed with proving it's not racist, it makes me scratch my head. Why this preoccupation? Why this need to prove you're not racist at all costs?

You got it wrong. The TP is simply proving you wrong, and all your race card carrying cronies.

Are you serious right now? It's a response to the constant barrage of accusations with no basis in reality. I'm sure that you on the other hand if slandered daily would just sit back and accept it without a peep.

No. You have it wrong. It is the left who cannot do anything else but call it's opposition racist. Highlighting the fact that the left is wrong any number of issues is simply being accurate.
