The race I talked about in my earlier post is what the press has said about the membership profile of the Teapers. According to the press, the Teapers are white, middle-aged folks who currently hold jobs. It is also widely believed and generally agreed to that the African Americans and Hispanics turned out in large numbers for Obama two years ago and that we are not going to see those numbers tomorrow because "Obama is not on the ballot." These are the same folks who mostly do not have jobs and hence do not have healthcare like the "employed" Teapers do. They don't think that healthcare has been shoved down their throats. Notice I have not mentioned about the Republicans who are not teapers since it is not about the rich and the poor. It is about employment in this election. And like it or not, racism is still an integral part of US politics and by the admission of the Teper founders, racist folks like the birthers etc. now claim they are Teapers. These are the same folks who carry guns in full display at gatherings. Why did they not do so during Clinton's time? What is their message when they do so now?

Neil, excuse me, but don't make me list the numerous GOP candidates who are openly racist. My God, the R running for governor of NY state was sending out racist emails on a regular basis along with a woman practicing bestiality. Its nice how you choose to ignore these very poignant facts but then that's what you do best. So then if your candidates are openly racist, how many teapers/Rs followers are closet racist? I bet the number is significant......where there is smoke there is usually fire. This election is about the economy but its also about having a black president. I think Obama's election freaked out every whitie who is red. I don't think they ever expected it would happen. And now they are starting to focus on the demographics....how whites will be a minority in this country in a couple of decades. So please, stop shilling for the corps and trying to pretend Rs are color blind. We know the reality.
