Tea Party Racists?

The '˜tea baggers' aren't racist; it's the whole philosophical bent of neoconservatism that embraces exclusivity. The nut jobs on the far right fringe simply do not possess the verbal skills to mask their intolerance.

Remember the Southern Democrats of days gone bye, an unabashedly racist bunch. Kennedy kissed their asses, then Johnson (a Texas cracker) kicked their butts. The good old boys got tired of the abuse from within their party and all became Republicans. The present day blue dog Democrats are more scallywags than regional racists, you can find them in any state of the union. They simply represent the long tradition of democratic corruption.

There are simple questions that the GOP must answer directly before the mid-term election. Since they do not seem to have any cohesive agenda other than to oppose the incumbency they should be open to some truth telling on the package they present to the electorate:

Do you favor a policy of tax cuts?
Do you endorse supply side economics?
Do you favor deregulation and a laissez faire marketplace?
Do you favor a proactive military policy?
Shall we eliminate the immigrant labor force?
What's more important, personal freedoms or national security?
Shall we legislate morality, sexuality and personal expression?

That's enough, I don't want to overload a weak mentality. The question you must ask yourself even at the height of your dissatisfaction: Do I want to hand the keys of government back to the same people who drove us here?
