We Need To Lower Tax Rates For Everybody, Starting With The Top Corporate Tax Rate. We Need To Simplify The Tax Code.

African-americans Have Been Brainwashed Into Not Being Open-minded, Not Even Considering A Conservative Point Of View.

The Only Tactic Liberals Have Is To Try To Intimidate People Into Thinking That The Tea Party Is Racist. The Tea Party Is Not A Racist Movement, Period!

The Democrats Co-opted The Credit For The Civil Rights Act Of 1964. But If You Go Back And Look At The History, A Larger Percentage Of Republicans Voted For That Than Did Democrats.
