Please explain, seems to be a double standard. Profiling is ok when it's non Whites but wrong when it's Whites conservatives?

What are you profiling whites for? How do you tell the difference between a conservative white and just a regular white?

What in the world are you talking about? Why would you say they are attacking minority voters rights, give one honest example.. And attacking tax exempts organizations? Wasn't that the IRS?

I never said it was and rather than get into a conversation about that I just figured it was best to get out of the way what Don was getting at so he would answer my question.

So far it hasn't worked.

If you at least attempted to clean up your corrupt party or held them accountable then I would have respect for you when it comes to criticizing my corrupt party.
The problem with people like you is that you think everyone has to belong to one party.

I haven't voted for a republican in over a decade fyi. <points to my status line>

This IRS stuff is *bad* and claiming that anyone complaining about it just shouldn't because there have been problems with other parties is the newest after-birther tactic....insanity is the only way to describe your argument.

Somebody screwed up and this probably goes nowhere near Obama....take your scandal like a man and stop making excuses and wild after-birther type claims that nothing is wrong.

Agreed. Both the birthers and after-birthers are about as honest as a $3 bill when it comes to any political discussion.

Unlike many racists, I don't support racial or ethnic profiling.

The problem with people like you is you falsely testify for others. There is very little difference between parties, just the hand picked winners and losers.

The only insanity is your hilarious attempt to portray what I am saying. Of course you have to make things up about it because what you follow doesn't work so of course you're going to deflect and make things up. Keep trying on the birther issue. Just like your posts it holds little water.

Why believe you? You have no facts either way on it. Always best to use facts before coming to a conclusion. Not saying you'll do it, just that its best.

Act like a man and quit making things up. Go ahead and keep trying on the birther issue. Just like your posts it holds little water.
You failed to address my post instead you deflected and tried to portray me as a birther. LMAO how childish.

What would your posts have to do with honesty or political discussion?
Deflection isn't honesty.
