Your approach is a Democrat troll strategy trying to discredit the Tea Party by equating it with racism, slavery and the Confederacy. Most Freepers caught on to you long ago, yet you persist.
Hahahaha. My position on this site is clear; I am not the GOP hack, sonny, YOU are. I am a conservative and my many, many years of posting speaks for itself. Because I believe that the Civil War was not solely about slavery does not make me a "troll." It makes me a guy with a different opinion. Like a good hack, though, you have nothing but smears. You show your true colors with every post. Keep it up. This is EXAAAACTLY how your handlers lost control of the Grand Old Potty.
If we don't change the GOP from top to bottom and eliminate insiders like you, it will be the end of the Republic ... you all need to be dismissed. You have made a mockery of Conservatism and of America.
YOU LIE!
I will not contribute or vote for any candidate who toes the GOP party line ... and yes, if that means losses, then so be it. The RINO needs to go extinct. Like you.
Here you go, Mikie, something to read while you are on the Grand Old Potty, Son. ...
Forget about where you and your old time GOP hack buddies want to take us. We know better.
