You might agree with what they say, but what about what they do?
That's where the problem lies.

I don't even know why we have a Senate and Congress when all they do is vote along the party line. I'd be much more supportive of someone who jumps the party line which recently it's been some of the Republicans as they voted for health care reform and financial reform. Granted they're hated and perhaps they'll pay for it when it comes time for re-election but I admire people who make their own decisions.

I pick who is the most conservative which is close to my values. By fate luck of the draw, chance, or whatever that almost always comes down on the rep side over someone who think obamas is the cats meow.
Really to decide how vote is about as easy as asking them if they'd vote for obama or not.

This type radicalism-- that in years past condemned and stereotyped all Jews, Mormons, Irish, Orientals, etc, etc is not what we need any more...I thought we were years past that....And I can't believe folks that call themselves Republicans or Conservatives would follow a group that to me looks not much different than the KKK, or Aryan Nation, or Neo Nazis...
Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.
The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!
The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.
Sincerely
Precious Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew NAACP Head Colored Person

Once again the stupidity is abundant with Oldtimer. The above piece was written as satire but hit way too close to home for too many. :roll:
