You won't see it documented anywhere but trust me, they're working on it behind the scenes.
George Zimmerman is their hero.

That is a good question for Mitt Romney.

What tenet of the TEA Party do you oppose the most?

The Tea Party was started in response to a black man being elected president and represents nothing!

This is objective reality to most people. Look, here is my simple test, if you hate the ACA healthcare bill known as Obamacare because its big government, then YOU CANT SUPPORT MEDICARE which is an even bigger more government control than the ACA bill. Most Americans won't even be in those state insurance markets.

Every single American who lives till 65 or whatever the age of eligibility will be in Medicare 100%. That is massive government control. Yet these same lying conservatives who insist that Obamacare is the end of the USA in huge numbers love medicare.

They don't hate the ACA health bill because its big government. They are lying.

Too many libs have small minds and can't see the big picture.

Medicare is bad enough, but it's not for the entire country of 300+ million people. We have social security too, but I don't want the feds to come after our 401Ks and private retirement funds, and nationalize them either.

I liken the tea party to a more civil, law-abiding, more hygienic version of the Occupiers. In other words, a group of radicals who are just as ignorant from the other side of the political spectrum. Like any group of radicals, they're singularly focused and will destroy anything in their way to get to where they want to go, assuming they can coherently define what that is exactly.

The past two elections, their actions have been a gift to their opponents having cost the Republican party senate seats in California, Delaware, Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, and probably a few others that I'm leaving out.

The signs they used to wave around about "no to socialized medicine but save my medicare" were quite extraordinary to say the least (actually the correct word would have been fascism, but anyway).

There is no discrimination whatsoever against homoxexuals in the arena of marriage. They can marry under the same exact conditions as hetro's - not difference at all.

Epic Issue-Fail.

You realize that same "logic" has already been shot down by the courts, specifically in the Loving v. Virginia case?
