If you do research Saddam Hussein was an active sponsor of terrorism. Probably paid the families of the 9/11 Hijackers. Also a UN team found that while Iraq ended developing chemical weapons (WMDs) they kept the facilities in operating condition to resume as soon as sanctions were lifted.

Obama won the popular vote. Twice. For your argument to make 1 iota of sense the "racist" had to have stayed home during the 2010 midterm, 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections and shown our in force for the 2014 midterm (which I think you were referring to) where a dog catcher had a hard time being elected as a Democrat.
Further more the guy polling right behind Donald Trump in the Republican clown car is Ben Carson who unlike Obama isn't
"half black"; he's
"all black".Oddly enough only Democrats seem to keep bringing up race.D.o.S. wrote:... but the vehemence of a group like the Tea Party isn't simply rage at government overreach -- otherwise it would have started in earnest during W's first term, not in 2009.
Tea Party stands for "Taxed Enough Already" their platform isn't govt overreach, it's taxes so they align themselves with Republicans since a Republican President
MIGHT raise your taxes, while a Democrat
ABSOLUTELY WILL.. Though they should really back Libertarians since a Libertarian President
ABSOLUTELY WILL NOTraise your taxes. Libertarians think you know how to spend your money better than the government.
