The "crazies" in the Tea Party Movement are...

Let's be serious. The only reason you'd post a picture of yourself on the internet is to troll for dudes. You are a gross little man.

Am I gross or is it that you are secretly disgusted with yourself for being the thing you abhor the most........gay.

So it's a 3-way between you, Gar and BBB. I'm just guessing but you're the bitch in the relationship, right.

Wait......not your anus.......

The GHEY is strong with those three. So's the B.O. one imagines...

They're all man-crushing HARD...

Yes you are.


You're painting with a rather broad brush, kb. Again, you don't know many, if any at all, of these people.

but a fair one. i've had enough discussions with more than enough tea party attendees. again, those attending tea party events do NOT represent every person who dissents with the government's actions.

The Dems are getting themselves into hot water when they start marginalizing Joe Sixpack's right to dissent.

look, here's the deal. dissent is fine. but the tea partiers do not = the dissent. they represent only a small minority, even of the dissenters. (18% of the population.)

dissenters may be very well rational. and many are. they can rationally oppose the health care. they can rationally oppose the stimulus. they can rationally oppose pretty much anything. the tea partiers, by and large, are not rational.


seriously. like i said, their taxes are lower. bush started huge deficits. they get a voice in washington every 2 years. but they ignore ALL of those facts in order to stick with their mantra. that makes them irrational. and honestly, if they want to keep blindly ignoring facts, then their opinions probably should be marginalized.

Listen Krusty, get off daddy's computer and go help your mom make dinner like a good little girl, OK? Thanks baby!

That sounds sexist. Almost Taliban-like.


Just wait until I tell Sarah Palin.

[hideyoursheep]

You literally don't know what to say when DoucheMachine isn't here, do you?

Oh, he's here. He just doesn't care enough about you to engage.

Have you ever posted anything based on fact?

Do the Tea Party people represent all dissenters? No, of course not. Are they typical of the average dissenter? An emphatic YES!!!

Bush put the wheels in motion for escalating the deficit. There is no doubt about that and most fiscal conservatives weren't too happy about that. But Obama is hitting the accelerator hard on that runaway train.

Dissenters to Bush were called patriots. Dissenters to Obama are called racists and nazis. That's the State-Run Media (SRM) for you. It's also a typical play out of the Democratic Party playbook: when you can't dispute the conservatives, call them names and insult them.

Face it, you're just not used to, and definitely not comfortable with, this level of dissent. It scares you because the Dems are in serious trouble in November. Republican turnout in November will be much higher than usual for a mid-term election while Democrats will turnout in their usual numbers.

Even if the Republicans don't take control of the House or Senate, they will be much closer to being equal and Obama will never again get any legislation through using that assinine method used to pass Obamacare. Maybe then he'll actually use some of that bipartisanship he so promised.

dude, i'm not afraid of dissent. i mean, let's be honest, was i ranting and raving during the bush administration when the republicans controlled both houses? and more importantly, was i screaming that my voice wasn't being heard because i voted for democrats and republicans were in office?

because that IS what the tea party attendees are doing. they're perfectly able to have the opinion that taxes should be lower and that there should be less government. there is nothing irrational about that opinion.

but if there voice wasn't heard in the past, it's notbody's fault but their. ask yourself, how many of those tea partiers voted for ron paul in the presidential primary? he was probably the closest to their voice. how many of them yelled and screamed at bush in 2004 to quit raising the deficit? and i know, there were many conservatives who were "uncomfortable" with bush's spending. but still, did they organize, or just grouse to themselves and then decide once the country voted for democrats to get together and claim their voice wasn't heard?

again, let me be clear: agreeing with the ideals of less taxes and less government is fine. but the tea party attendees go farther. they DO largely ignore the past. they ignore their own previous apathy, and for the most part they're blaming democrats for the current fiscal situation.

i equate it to this: protesting the iraqi war was not irrational by any means. but the ciny sheehan crowd certainly was. (i'll give her a pass, because you're not expected to be fully rational after burying a son.) still, the rest of them were not. same thing here.

Is your point that, if they weren't protesting yesterday, they shouldn't be protesting today? They missed their window, or something? That's crazy. I'm glad somebody is pulling themselves away from American Idol long enough to protest.

No, it's more like they're protesting about things now that they SHOULD have been protesting then. Obama didn't tank the economy, the BCE did. That's just reality.

Now you can argue whether his response to the situation has been correct or not. I'm certainly no fan of Larry $ummers or Timmy the Keebler Elf myself, and I would have much preferred an FDR style approach to the fucked up economy than more Clintonian DLC triangulation Repuke lite bullshit.

Fact is that shitty economic policy didn't take a break from 1993 - 2001, it was just managed better. Clinton was a better Republican than the BCE themselves. Obama, sadly, seems determined to follow that same road, or at least that's what he's done so far.

But you didn't see the teabaggers protesting Chimp. Or Poppy. Or Reagan. And when they protested Clinton, it was because he got his dick sucked, not because he allowed the repeal of Glass Steagal, or deregulated industry to the point where Rupert Murdoch, Clear Channel, and Time Warner were able to take over the media.

So what's different this time? The melanin content in the skin of the current White House occupant. And that's what is driving these lunatics.

So that's the argument, then. Everybody missed the window where we were allowed to protest, and now we should all just shut up and get raped. Makes sense.

I think the basic argument is that they're retarded, biased, and politically incompetent assholes that are incapable of affecting real change because they're so easily swindled by pretenders and rhetoric....

no, not at all. but one of the main themes of those ATTENDING the tea party protests has been that they haven’t been listened to by those in power. and I’m saying that it’s their own fault. they’ve been apathetic in the past. or supported people who also were fiscally unsound.

to be honest, nothing that’s going on now hasn’t been going on before. deficit spending. government control (TARP was a bush program). so if you’re protesting now about how nobody ever listens to you, then you’re an idiot. if you’re saying, “we’ve reached the breaking point, and it’s time for a change,” then fair enough.
