Tea Party movement based in anti-minority attitudes

I'd hit it.

Ugh no.  There's something wrong with her face that makes her look mannish.  I think it's a bit asymmetrical too.

She does look like she knows her way around the softball field.

I had wonderful hair.  But now I'll never be a crackpot with an easy do-nothing job.  Well, not one that pays well.

You should run for office. You're white, male, young, attractive, and have a law degree. No one will care what you stand for, so long as you speak clearly and point fingers.

Start local.  Run for school board, Ide.

The "more death penalty" and "fuck the humanities" things may even play well in South Carolina. Not sure about the "state ownership of everything" thing, though.

South Carolinians are OK with getting government money so long as they don't have to pay taxes for it.  Ideologue can take that line no problem, he can keep the part about raising the money by exterminating the kulaks in the fine print.

Yeah, maybe some sort of "universal surveillance and repression of UNDESIRABLE ELEMENTS to fund TAX BREAKS and reasonable services for GOOD HONEST SOUTH CAROLINIANS, and the DEATH PENALTY for those who mess with GOOD HONEST SOUTH CAROLINIANS" and leave the fact that good honest South Carolinians and Undesirable Elements are both defined somewhat idiosyncratically.

...the movement had started some months before, and was triggered by policies adopted by the Bush administration, not by policies Barack Obama planned to introduce.

Yep, this was the genesis of the movement:

So you are saying that ACORN and Democracy for America are part of the origins of the Tea party?

I'm not sure that her face is manish, exactly, but there certainly is something wrong with it.  To start with, she looks about 15 years older than her actual age.

More NegroPlease, please.

Whoa, so much hatred against the tp.
What about all the minorities in the tp?
Quite a few.
Last time I checked the tp was a constitutional movement.
Too much religion in that lot, though.

You need more thorough checking.
