I can bet the Tea Party will cease to exist after Obama leaves office and is succeeded by Hillary. I say so because even though Hillary is a woman, these white Tea Party folks would have no problem because "she is White." I don't agree. I think its only going to get worse. I do agree that to some extent its caused by the fact that Obama is black but its more than that.............they feel they are losing their country. And they are right. Its expected this country will be minority majority by 2050. And that doesn't sit well with them. Electing a Clinton will only make them feel worse. I continue to worry that we are in for considerable internal turmoil.

"These gentlemen [the Taliban] are the moral equivalents of America's Founding Fathers" ~President Ronald Reagan 1985 "For those who may have forgotten, Ronald Reagan was a big fan of the Taliban or, as they were then known, the Mujaheddin (freedom fighters). At the time, they were fighting the Russians (then part of the Soviet Union), who had occupied their country, much as they now are fighting another occupying army — ours. America and the USSR were still locked in the grip of the Cold War, and any enemies of theirs were friends of ours. Reagan was so enamored of the Taliban that he dedicated the space shuttle Columbia to them in 1982." atlasleft.org

I can bet the Tea Party will cease to exist after Obama leaves office I think you are probably right. ...and your observation on Hilary is right as well There will be an exodus of Republican voters once the reason they are voting Republican is removed She may be a woman, but she is white.. Sad but true...

There was no Tea Party during the days of the 2008 Presidential campaign. This Party was born and started gathering steam the day Obama was elected. Dick Armey had some ideas after he was forced by his Republican colleagues to quit Congress. But then all the racial bigots rallied behind him once they saw a Black man as a White House occupant. I can bet the Tea Party will cease to exist after Obama leaves office and is succeeded by Hillary. I say so because even though Hillary is a woman, these white Tea Party folks would have no problem because "she is White." How does your world view explain the tea party's strong support of Dr. Ben Carson?
