LV Tea Party on the Ropes

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Good for you Bernie. I had a feeling that a group that seems to advocate anarchy will develop leadership issues. On the national level the teabaggers overshot their success.
ReplyDeleteIndependents were not happy with unresponsive and irresponsible people in government. They were "not" angry with government in general. Nor do they want some ideological hit squad to kill social security and medicare for themselves or their children or a draconian group to dominate Washington.
They may still hate the communist, socialist, black Muslim President but they are off the mark with the American people.
They may be 40%ers in the Repub party but in the general electorate they are 20%ers at best.
Peace out!
cue Geeting and his bigoted rants
ReplyDeleteNow, the Tea Party is on the ropes. Yesterday, they were responsible for the stock market crash. Last week, they caused the debt ceiling crisis. I remember when they really didn't exist, despite all our lyin' eyes. They're on the ropes like Ali used to be on the ropes (aka rope-a-dope). They're either falling apart or exerting undue influence - many times in the same day - depending upon whom they're making crazy that day.
ReplyDeleteIf they would just fit neatly into a mold for the simple minded to understand. Meanwhile, they continue own the debate.
Italy's Prime Minister BERLUSCONI has called for an immediate balanced budget amendment to help deal with his nationa's latest financial crisis.
ReplyDeleteWow!

ReplyDeleteDid you just awake from a deep sleep? Do you have a gender issue? Have you ever been at a tea party meeting--I'm betting that is a no. How have you contirbuted to the political process and the well being of the nation?
Chris, i have help educate my fellow citizens on how dangerous the teabagger movement is to the democratic process and the American way of life.

ReplyDeleteAnd exactly how have you done that? You couldn't describe the democratic process if you tried and obviously you would have been on the side of King George in
1776. You must have some real scares when things go bump in the night.
Hey Chris, see you resort to insults when someone calls you on your own nonsense. Your sense of history is woefully poor. Better get thee to the teabagger meeting. I hear things get hairy when the brownshirts get into leadership arguments. All hail a new leader.

ReplyDeleteAs I indicated to Brenden, what is your version of history? Show us what you have and let's debate it.
What history? Are you the riddler? Do you wear green tights with question marks on them?
ReplyDeleteHistory is what you make of it. Some folks cherry pick quotes from two hundred years ago and say that is history. They claim other quotes that dispute their conclusions are not history.
I listened to Michelle Bachamnn and Sarah Palin talk about American history. Good God, if that is the tea party history book you would be better off with a Mickey Mouse coloring book.
Heckuva job, Tea Party. Thanks for the downgrade! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteDow down 600 points. Way to go, Tea Party!
ReplyDeleteRelax people, there a progressives who never wanted IRA's and 401 K Plans ... Now they are getting their revenge ... If a person goes underwater on their IRA plan maybe they'll devise a plan that the money be taxed anyway .... I guess these people wants a Jubilee where everything including real estate goes back to government and they decide where to distribute ... In Rhodesia all the farms were taking away from the Whie Farmers who make the land blossem ... The new owners didn't do so we11 and Inflation went to hyper stage unde President Robert Mugabee... The problem s some people don't care here because they spen, spend, spend hoping the government would bail them out ... Others refuse to earn any money for themselves hoping the government will care for them ... They will be disappointed if government ever does nothing ... And what I can't figure out is the London situation ... Perhaps somebody was shot wrongly ... But why riot in an attempt to ruin all businesses
ReplyDeleteBernie to lead the charge to eliminate Joe Hilliard for the group!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, he fails miserably!
Hilliard, the tea party died on Friday night. You just don't know it.
