Title says it all, why are tea baggers all white?

More importantly, do they know what tea bagging is?

I didn't know what teabagging was. I guess I've lived a sheltered life....good thing...:roll:

Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, ...

I think the expression ‘tea bagging’ was used by a CNN reporter to describe those who attended the tea parties. The tea party attendees were furious about it. So yes, they do know what tea bagging is.

As to why tea baggers are predominantly white, they represent the Republican base, and Republican base is overwhelmingly white, male and old. And that really is a problem for republicans. Unless they can diversify, get more minorities into their party they face a bleak future.

With 40% of whites and only 2% of Blacks voting Republican, I fail to see how SirJoseph is wrong about the Republican base being white conservatives.

:roll:...I see his cheering section is still alive and well...:lol:

40% is not overwhelming, considered 44% of whites are Democrats. Further, 29% of the GOP base is 18 to 29, 35% is 30 to 44, and women make up 31% of those figures. So again I say, unless SJP is using some bastardized unaccepted definition of "overwhelming", again, he is wrong. But I'm sure he, as you have, will use semantics to avoid admitting an exaggeration induced error.

BTW, he qualified his assertion with "and", perhaps if you spent a little more time thinking for yourself, you might be able to see things more objectively.

Good point Cliff
:roll:...and the circle jerk continues. Do any of you actually think for yourselves?

It matters not that I just fed Cliffy his feet, another pedestal of the exalted one feels to need to come along and perpetrate the same asinine stupidity, completely ignoring the facts placed before him. Now only if VI can come in, we you could have a threesome. A quorum if you can dig up another lackey. You can decide amongst yourselves who the slice of bread will be.

Niflmir is right, you guys just don't get things.

I couldn't give a crap about politics or anybody's opinion of it. What I fail to understand is someone's blind hatred of someone they never met.

Cut him some slack, Cliff, he probably just woke up in a sh*tty mood. One of the problems when some political party "owns" you, you tend to follow them right over the precipace, there is a tiny bit of truth in what he says, I think there are some cons. from all walks of life, but a lot of them are Bible thumpers for sure.

By your undying defense of the fair prince of punditry, I call BS. You seem to care a great deal.

Are you insinuating I hate Joey? If so, your insinuation is erroneous. I don't hate Joey, I think his posts are fun to play with. His posts, so teeming with pomposity and extreme views, based solely on a tenuous grip on reality.

His posts offer me such entertaining opportunities to expose their culmination limited critical thought, cognitive skills and objectivity. Why would I hate him or his posts?

Your presence is but an entertaining byproduct. Thank you.

If you care to take a walk through my past posts, you may find that absurd accusation to be, well, absurd.

I have spent the better part of my online career taking apart religions of all stripes.

Again, proving my point, thinking for yourselves is obviously, not an option.

This is a lie. You just blindly accused me of being a bible thumper, something your dear leader has done on numerous occasions. All without thought, let alone proof. It's a blind accusation, with the expressed purposes of labeling me, or anyone that dares disagree, pigeon holing them and thus making it easy to dismiss their opinion.

It is not based on fact, it's pure conjecture.

Whereas Joey, and by extension, you and the rest of his sheeple, have been met with fact, time and time again. And yet here we are, doing the same dance, in the same circular motion. Though I am convinced that you are capable of thought, I am not convinced, literally by your own posts, that you are capable of, with any great degree, critical, deductive reasoning or thought. You seem to parrot, or justify Joey' thoughts, ad nauseum.

For if you were fully capable of critical thought, deductive reasoning, you would not have made blind accusations that are easily refutable by a mere glance through my posting history.

Are you following along?

This is constructive criticism you're getting here. If you wish to be taken seriously, try using your own thoughts for a change, let Joey stand on his own and stop turning every thread he gets schooled in, into a save the Joey foundation event.

If you disagree with the math in my post, that shows Joey's extremist assertion to be a blind accusation. Then please do so. If not, then I suggest you attempt to grow up and move along.

Well, I see I have still got it (reading the CDN Bear posts quoted by others). I still have the knack of getting under the skin of opposition, reducing them to gibbering caricatures, blind with rage.

Good to know I still haven’t lost my touch.
