My intent was to offend you to the point you no longer wished discussing your daughter here, but since it didn't even phase you, I will end it. Good luck to you, peace!

Johnson is a former Vietnam POW who rates 100% on any conservative voting chart.

So when nearly everyone is to the left of you, where do you find yourself? In an itty-bitty, lilly-white, redneck pack to the extreme right, screaming that everyone else is a communist or a socialist. Tea partiers need to spend less time picketing and more time getting therapy and meds for their paranoia.

Tea partiers like to say that they -- and ONLY they -- represent 'true American values.' That's a bunch of bull. As time has passed and tea party views have been examined and exposed, the pack to the extreme right has gotten smaller and smaller and the tea party has lost nearly all its influence. I could give many examples, but the obvious one is this: Primaries are largely controlled by party activists, and the activists in the Republican Party tend to be to the right. Yet of all the GOP candidates, which one wins? Mitt Romney, the one who LEAST represents tea party ideology.

To me, tea partiers are just duped, unsophisticated, uneducated puppy dogs for big corporate interests. They don't understand the Constitution. They have no sympathy for others. They lead crappy lives and are easily entranced by the big-mouth right wingnut commentators who reinforce their preexisting prejudices. Why take responsibility for your failure when you can blame 'The Man'?

Except for my friend Kayla. Haha.

You're nothing but an ignorant douche bag and you're full of shit.

The Tea party is a movement, not a political party. It's followers are made up of Democrats as well as Republicans, white as well as black, Independents as well as Libertarians......Many of them are older people who are pissed off about Obamacare and how it has gutted Medicare.

Who are all sick and tired of the unaccountable economics of Washington D.C.
Plan and simple.


The movement isn't about any moral values.
No one is trying to stop you from killing babies.


Now...if you happen to be a tax and spend kind of person, which most Liberals are, you will make up any kind of lie you can about the movement to protect your own agenda.

Balanced budgets and sound economic and tax policy are radical ideas to you.

So the tea party isn't a party, huh? So why is it called 'tea party'? If it's a movement, it's a bowel movement. There's not one original idea espoused by any tea partier. It's the same extremist ideology of slaveowners in the South before the Civil War, the same hateful propaganda used by the KKK during Reconstruction, the same hunka junk farted out by business defending child labor in the Progressive Era, and the same claptrap spread around like manure by George Wallace and other bigots in the 1960s.

Less guvmint, right? I hear you guys advocating bank deregulation, like prissy little pink poodles for Chase and BOA. Were you fucking asleep at the end of Shrub's administration?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice try. Here's a pic of tea party protestors. Looks like the fucking United Nations, doesn't it? More like a group photo of the pot-bellied old white guys posting in this thread.

If you are so much more "knowledgeable" in the ways of politics how do you reconcile these two statements.

[WTF]

I voted for Ron Paul.

WTF, I do not know where you attended a TEA party rally at or what it was that caused your shame unless it was the realization of how corrupt our system of government has become. In all of the rallies I have attended that is more of what I came away with than anything else. I saw a lot of people distressed by what our country has become and willing to show up and support those that would change it for the better. Again, I am not sure which rallies you have been too but I am guessing it was not at those I attended.

Considering he mentioned something about a member not being able to add 2 + 2 I'm thincking he has mistaken the Tea Party for the Texas Education Agency...or TEA.

OMFG!!! are you for real?

I see 6 guys who appear to be white men. 2 are waving American flags and one individual seems to be unhappy about where his tax money is going judging by the sign he is caring. It looks like the same 6 people you showd up when Bud Adams asked for a new football statium.

That got you so upset that you can't even think straight. You're ate up with the Dumb Ass.

Btw....Do you personally know any of the people in this forum? Do you have knowledge that we are all white and have pot bellies?

Uh, the caption to the photograph is, "People gather for a Tea Party protest on the grounds of the State Capitol in Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday." See:

I'm not saying 100% of tea fartiers are white men. I'm saying about 90% of tea fartiers are white men, and that it's simply a lie to say that the tea farty is largely made up of people of other races and genders.

[Whirlaway]

The Tea Party has had astounding electoral success and for anyone (including SJ) to say BS like what "95% of what of Americans think about you 5% tea partiers" is a hoot !

I would love to see some polling data supporting that absurd statement. It files in the face of reality and the tea party success all across America !

[WTF]

That would be like a liberal sating the NAACP is made up of a mix of races!

These Tea Folks think a tan white man is a mixture of races at their rallies!

I went to the one in Downtown Houston a couple of years ago. They were pissed because the government was fucking with their Medicare! LOL
