Here is a quick update on the Tea Parties' rampant racism. Recently, the NAACP released a report detailing just how racist the Tea Party is. Still as far as I know there weren't any candidates that had ties to the Klu-Klux-Klan (Unlike the late Democratic Senator and Grand Kleagle, Robert "Sheets' Byrd).
Here is a short list of some of the lily white candidates supported by the Tea Party that won election Tuesday Night.
Brian Sandoval - Governor - Nevada (First Hispanic Governor of Nevada)
Susannah Martinez - Governor - New Mexico (First Hispanic Female Governor of NM)
Marco Rubio - Senator - Florida (Son of Cuban Refugee/Immigrants)
Nicky Haley - Governor - South Carolina (First SC Female Governor, Second Republican Indian {dot not feather} Governor in the US -Bobby Jindal LA. was first)
Tim Scott - Representative - South Carolina (First Black Republican US Rep. from S.C.)
Lt. Col. Allen West - Representative - Florida (First Black Republican Fla. Rep. elected since a former slave was elected in 1870)
Bill Flores - Representative - Texas
Francisco Canseco - Representative - Texas
Man those Tea Party folks sure are non-inclusive. There isn't a single Aleut, Athabaskan, or Pacific Islander among the bunch.
