As a white male I would have no problem being a Republi-terd if they were really doing anything good. Generally their power structure is advancing an outdated, rich, old greedy white male agenda though. Democrats to me are not a bunch of lazy Mexicans or other minorities, but rather representative of the educated middle class that is more capable of developing smart solutions to our problems. For example, the government spending issue. This calls for a scalpel not a sledge hammer. Make wrong/indiscriminate cuts, and next thing you know we either have another financial crisis (for example starving financial regulators like the SEC for funds), and/or another recession on our hands. Extreme solutions, whether too far left or right, are dumb solutions and everything I have seen from the Tea Party fits with that.
As far as the airport profiling, as soon as we find a bomb smuggled through in a turban those folks will be proven correct!
