The Tea Party has a race problem (Barf Alert)

he Tea Party movement has a race problem. To borrow Bob Dole's famous line: I know it. You know it. The American people know it. We all know it.

You are correct, but I was responding to another post that listed a bunch statistics showing about a 1/3 average. The Loyalist have been estimated to be between 15% and 20% with one estimate being 19%. My point was that it really doesn’t take a majority to effect change.
