Make no doubt about it...
This whole election was motivated by Race...

Propelled by Race...

And designed by Race...

The exact same situation under Bush caused people to get over it, as they so love to say in RNC HQ.

They played the race card by not scolding those ass hats with all those Racially driven signs at Tea Party Events.

One talking to by McCain in the run up to the 2008 election does not inoculate the party from embracing a see no evil when all vile posters with president Obama dressed like a Bushman popped up time after time at even after event.

This was all about race and nobody in any media will admit it.

NO ONE WILL OWN UP TO IT.

That, my friends, is the main reason we lost the election.

And I think it's also the main reason so many of the Democrats in Congress turned their backs on their party's president.

Well, I've been around political people far too long to not believe this 100%.

I saw people in our party openly use the N word, work openly against black candidates and mimic Rush Limbaugh coded words. The leadership would look the other way because they new that if chastised anyone they would bolt to the republican party.

White Flight and fear was behind Nixon's coded Law and Order platform, it was behind Ronald Reagan's choice of venue to announce his run for the presidency.

Ever since Truman integrated the Armed Forces the Republicans have used race to peel off white voters from the Democratic Coalition.

It's all about race.

1. Nah, I'm pretty sure money won this time.
Money targeted liberals. Liberals are dangerous to money.

3. The vitriol that motivated the Tea Party was all driven by race...
And the money flowed in when they say the GOP embracing yet another coded racial meassage...

This time they tossed in Hispanics to make sure of it...

4. The tea bag "revolution" side show was to distract us from
the economic fiasco. Yes the distraction was all about race and it worked. But it's still a class war.
