You are arguing against a point of view that the tea party has not adopted. What "social conservative bullshit", and I do mean specific, verifiable examples, are you referring to?

The Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party is not about social issues. While individual members may have axes to grind on social issues, the movement itself isn't about them.

Was and is.

There have been some efforts, with differing levels of success, to co-opt the tea party and refocus it on establishment Republican goals but without question the tea party was and is a real movement.

LOL. You know what this is? Dogma.

You're no different than the ones you hate.

He couldn't hold a candle to them... Except on election day, right?

It *could* mean that my parents had money, but I financed my own education. I have a high IQ, that mean's that I'm intelligent.

I, a lifelong conservative Republican, will not be voting for Romney either. I can't, in good conscience, vote for either of the two major candidates. I will either be voting third party of casting a protest vote by writing in Ron Paul or Rick Santorum.

Vote for Obama if that's what your conscience tells to yo do, but don't pretend that he's any better than Bush. Romney is no better either, that's why I don't care which of them wins.

Obama has continued every of the shitty programs that Bush started, and took some even further. Bush wasn't known for intentionally killing American citizens. Obama is. Obama's administration has even argues about why they have the right to target American citizens for assassination. Slice it however you want, that's worse than Bush's stance. Not that I think Romney is better. Romney is just as bad. I won't vote for anyone who belonged to a church that taught black people were cursed by God.

ID Envy.

What would Freud have made of this...

I'm not from Texas. I'm a highly educated Yankee and I voted for George W. Bush twice. Like I was really going to vote for Al Gore or John Kerry. It would be nice if the Democrats would put up a candidate that doesn't make my skin crawl.

It's difficult to get soldiers to fire on their countrymen. It's one thing to demonize the Krauts, Japs, Nips, Gooks and Russkis. Soldiers dehumanize their enemies with these kinds of epithets. If the person at the end of your rifle is from one town over from you, it's hard to think of them as anything other than your countrymen.

Besides, Iraqi and Afghan insurgents are not as well armed at the average American but they're giving the US war machine a hell of a difficult time.

No. Not only a sick, sick fuck. Also, someone who's sick of seeing criminals rob, rape and murder with no consequence.
