Look what those racist, anti-women tea party rednecks just did in Kentucky...

Not only is she the first black GOP female to hold statewide office, she's the first black female period to hold statewide office. She must be real Aunt Tomasina. Goddamn racist rednecks and their war on women.

Of course - they did that to throw michturd and all the race baiters off the scent. Now they're free to discriminate against women and minorities with impunity.

I guess there would've been a few elections last Tuesday. Curious that none of the news I have been paying attention to has been reporting on any of them.

Of course of course. I'm only kidding. I don't think the Tea Party is racist - well, most of them aren't - but I do think their policies negatively affect minorities and women. Whether it is intentional or not, I don't know. I just wish the old GOP was stronger and had more influence. This new brand of Teapublicans is getting out of hand and forcing reasonable liberals more to the left. This is why we're so split in this country. Insane calls of racism in just about every situation. Fabricated scandals. An insistence that "my way is the right way" instead of allowing people to choose for themselves.

I'm tired of this extreme political environment. There needs to be a middle ground that we can all agree on and people have to come together. The country needs a reunification. That's part of the reason I've been off the politics board for a while. I'm sick of it all. Still a liberal, still voting for the Democrat. If it was my choice, though, I'd choose none of the above on my voting form.

You know what they say Monster, nothing brings a nation together like a good war!

Dude, I'm just so sick of this shit. It's like people have forgotten how to be civil in politics. When a hug between Chris Christie and Barack Obama after Hurricane Sandy takes Christie from GOP Darling to a guy who is struggling to stay in the race, you know we have a serious problem.

We need a legitimate 3rd party that can appeal to decent minded conservatives and liberals. There is a good middle ground in every issue and there has to be a new party to find those.

 

[TheVictors]

I'm with you, bro.

I hate the current state of politics and really, our nation.

When being educated made you 'elite' and when diplomacy made you a 'pussy,' I figured we're at a point where we've already peaked and are beginning a decline.

The 'average American' is 80% of the population yet has NO representation.

LOL, yeah.

spartanhack - who is supposedly a really smart guy who knows lots of things - falls for it and posts this inane thread.

It really is sad the 3rd party options are barely worth talking about due to the MSM and the financial backing of the Dems and Reps.

If you want a real candidate who's not a complete jackass, vote for Bernie Sanders, like me.

In 2008 the California Republican primary was closed and the Democratic primary was open.

Not being registered to either party I ended up voting for Obama against Hillary.

If I end up voting in the primary next year, and the rules are still the same, I would imagine I'll vote for Sanders against Hillary.

I'm pretty sure that Hillary is going to be the Democratic nominee though.

 

[tinselwolverine]

I just wish the old GOP was stronger and had more influence.

If you want to you could register as a Republican and support Kasich.

He's about as old GOP as it gets.

I would seriously consider voting for him over Hillary/Sanders.

 

[tinselwolverine]

A vote in the primary does him more good actually.

He's not going to take California in the general.

He's going to lose the state by at least two million votes.

I figured you were kidding. But I disagree (strongly) that the conservative's policies hurt women and minorities. I think it's the opposite - the welfare state and policies of the left have done the greatest disservice to minorities in this country. I also don't think being for small government and greater individual liberty, which is my understanding of what the tea party is about, is "extreme" or racist.

I may be more opposed to establishment Dems and Republicans than I am to the extremes - what the media is labeling the "extreme" right at least, no way I'm voting for Sanders. The entrenched political class and the political cronyism has ruined representative democracy in the US. For me, term limits would be my biggest issue but nobody seems to give a crap about that.

See, there are people dumb enough to believe, without a shred of evidence that those who disagree with them are racist despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.

Not sure what mountains you're looking at there, chief. the bigger mountains are actually behind you... link, link (& link), link...

Here's Reagan campaigning on "states' rights" in Philadelphia, MS, birthplace of the modern civil rights movement. Note: there are no black people within a mile of him for this...

OMG, not one black person in a photo of 11 people taken over 30 years ago! Conservatives ARE racist! You're too good at this! And the articles you posted are even more laughable - nothing but race baiting nonsense only a short bus riding race-baiting rube like you would actually buy into. You're such a clown.

that would never have happened in 2015, they'd cherrypick some black people in the crowd and position them behind the candidate
