Tea Parties Help Elect Indian and Black Candidates In S. Carolina

[WHAMPOM]

I see no problem with electing Republicans to office, Bill Clinton was a great one!

Don't bring logic into this. He knew as a child that some day he wanted to be in politics and knew that racist americans would never elect him (or some guy named Barack)... so he changed his name at the age of 7

Her given name is Nimrata Randhawa and her conversion coincides with her running for public office.

My point is:

This sends a wrong message to the ethnic and religious minorities. The only way to get into the mainstream of American politics is to change your name and religion.

True about the surprise - except that there was in intentional effort to demonize tea parties as racist when a lot of the TPs fav candidates (Allen West etc) are black etc. Women and black candidates are filling a leadership vacuum in the GOP. Jan Brewer has shown more leadership in GOP than I have seen in many years.

Must take a really big shovel to move that crap.

And you don't have a big enough band-aid to cover the bloodletting the Tea-bagger candidates took in primaries so far in 2010.

Oh. And let's see a list of all the local and national 'black candidates' from the Tea Baguettes. Post all the names right here ---->> _______________

AND (finally): Stop deluding yourself (and others of ignorance who believe the crap that flies off your keyboard).

The usual suspects (Grover Norquist, Club for Growth, Freedomworks, etcetera) drag local Tea Baguettes around by their seeing-eye dogs; and drive their sick Wing Nut Conservatism in America through the most hateful and viscous of ways.

Lee Atwater is dead, man, your outrage and (self) hate is so 1980s.

Since you missed it (intentionally?) the first time:

1) Her given middle name is Nikki.
2) Her surname and religion were adopted when she married. This religious conversion is not uncommon, especially when marrying into a devoutly Christian family in the South.

Yes it does. Are you implying that Democrats are infiltrating the Republican primaries to help them nominate stronger candidates?

 

[Lemon law]

Are we really missing the point here? Indian-Americans, Chinese-Americans,
Irish -Americans, WASP-American, are all just a long series of hyphenated Americans seeking political office. Maybe Indian0Americans are a Jonney come lately group, but they are organized, have abilities, and some are now running for political office.

Tell me again why I, as an American, should be all that upset that another group joins the great American melting pot. Winning political office is just step one, if they fail to provide good governance for all, they will not win a second term

Yes it does. Are you implying that Democrats are infiltrating the Republican primaries to help them nominate stronger candidates?

No, I'd hope people would have enough sense to vote for a good candidate and not just based on the letter next to their name.

I think that (R) next to the name is kind of important in a Republican Party primary.

Can a Democrat vote for her in a Republican primary?
