I don't get this whole "Tea" party thing.

[blazerboy30]

They are a bottom up movement, not a sexual movement....

Aside from that little bon mot...

If their only issue is too much spending, and they aren't just a glossy new Palin-type face invented solely to energize the Republican Party, then where were they when all this spending started? You know, when Bush destroyed the miraculous Clinton deficits in the months before 9-11. Why weren't they motivated to complain when a Republican was doing the big spending?

It took longer than I thought it would, but eventually it came, just as predicted.

Bush spent a lot too!

I get tired of posting it over and over, but it seems once again I need to repeat myself: No one should pretend that President George W. Bush was a fiscal conservative.

 

[hasoos]

Putting your racism aside, it was a BIG bunch of 'dumb old white people' in DC last year. Well over a million, and some reports say pushing two million.

Check the pics out at this site.

I'm not a tea bagger, sexually or politically, but I know a few of the latter. I would describe them as people that are tired and disgusted about being lied to and betrayed by their leaders. That leader group would include that strong young black man you refer to.

You get that a lot of those stupid white people voted for that strong young black man, right?

Actually I believe it has been shown many times that those shots of the supposed huge tea bagger fest were fake. I have seen many programs where experts came up and showed where they cut in film from other marches and showed they faked them.

I think the tea party is just a scam to get a bunch of people to give money to them.

Ironically, the typical "Tea Partier" hates both tea and Massachusetts.

And America.

 

[MARIS61]

Are they just a bunch of dumb old white people mad about being ruled by a strong, young black man?

No, they are America's least educated and most gullible citizens stirred up by a couple of Fox News trolls.

It's like when a bunch of posters get all riled up about Mixum's posts.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Let me get this straight.... there are some predominatly elderly people who are fed up with rising taxes and tax & spend policies from liberal politicians. So, excercising their constitutional rights they lobby their Congressmen, protest and vote.

So, if I continue to follow your logic, since their views are not your views they are to be silenced and ridiculed.

Oh, ok, I get it.

Yes. They already had their say, now time to sit down and take it like a bitch.

Just a bunch of fucking losers who need to accept that they won't accomplish shit.

 

[Buzz Killington]

personally, i just hate all protestor types, they just come across as whiny. I think it should be legal to run them over if they're blocking my way or traffic.

 

[MARIS61]

From what I get, Tea Partiers aren't necessarily anti-Obama/Democrat. They're anti-Big Government. They're anti-A Ruling Class That Doesn't Listen to Who Elected Them. It just happens that President Obama is the leader of the country and pushing for the things they don't like. And they're using their right to assemble and protest to assemble and protest.

Teabaggers did not elect Obama, they voted against him. Obama has not stopped listening to those who elected him, but both parties are tying his hands and using him as a scapegoat.

I truly believe he was set up by both parties to be the patsy.

It's time to entirely do away with state reps and senators, they ARE big government.

This is one country, not 50 countries.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

And America.

Why? beacuse they aren't communists?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Yes. They already had their say, now time to sit down and take it like a bitch.

Well, like it or not, they are still citizens who vote. When they get into the millions, I wouldn't take them too lightly.

(BTW, funny post you made)

It's all Bush's fault, right?

Yeah, they are just really really annoying, like all protesters are.

 

[MARIS61]

I'm not especially fond of the Tea Party nonsense, but frankly, I'm a bit surprised that there aren't more young people involved in protesting the insane levels of government spending going on in Washington. After all, once us older farts are dead and buried, it's you guys who will be bearing the brunt of the massive national debt.

Bush (the teabagger's President) built the debt, not Obama.

Most people are smart enough to know it needs to repaid.

Sad that old teabaggers left the debt to their children and grandchildren.

Absurd that they blame Obama.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Yeah, but Obama is just adding to it.

 

[MARIS61]

No, I do not think even one of them did.

 

[MARIS61]

What was Bush's approval rating for most of his 2nd term?

2nd term would indicate that 3 years after he had destroyed our economy they still voted for him.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Balls across the nose.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Bush (the teabagger's President) built the debt, not Obama.

I see.

And Obama hasn't added to the debt, right? Also, was that a balanced budget he just requested?

Take your blinders off.

Never learned a thing in history class?

The 60's-70's anti-war movement in America ranks right up there with the biggies in the world history of social progress.

As for accomplishments? They brought a 50-year long murder spree to an abrupt end, against the wishes of the military-industrial complex.

Today's youth apparently don't have the stones to stand up for what is right, they'd rather Twitter their lives away.

Meh, could have just naturally took its course anyways.

You can't change the world, just live your life in it and adapt.

Take your blinders off.

Bush spent your tax money, and did not spend it on America.

It's like if you gave a roofer $10k to put a new roof on your home because the old one is falling in on you. The roofer takes your $10k and splits it with his buddy on a spree in Vegas, and then disappears.

You will have to hire another roofer and come up with another $10k to fix your roof. Would you blame the first roofer, or the 2nd roofer?

Take your time. Think really hard.

What would you say if the 2nd roofer just decided to take the money to fix your roof and charge you $40k to plant a palm tree in your backyard, adding to your debt, just because the palm tree will block out the wind and sun damage of your roof over 100 years.

Submissive nonsense. I've been a part of changing the world several times.

Only the enslave, the imprisoned, the cowardly, and the lazy go with the flow.

sure you have. what, you smoked weed in a VW Microbus and thought that ended the Vietnam war?

If the roof lasted 100 years it would probably be a wise investment since my children will inherit the home and the 4-5 roofs I would need in that time would cost much more.

Sure beats getting NOTHING for my money.

 

[MARIS61]

So I was correct.

You actually know nothing of recent American History.

I never said they fixed the roof. Just that they spent it planting trees in the backyard.
