Tea Party = Republican.
Its more like....Tea Party = Republican fringe.
Tea Party = Republican.
First, I'd gladly dare anyone on this forum to tell me I was not a critic of Bush. Sorry, but you refugee's coming over from other places acting as if you know jack **** of what was said about Bush during the Bush years by INDIVIDUALS on this forum is frankly that, BS. Bail outs, Perscription Drug, nation building, No Child Left Behind, immigration, a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage...Bush pissed me off a ton.
Oh really? I guess that means you've missed my posts about how disappointed I am that obama hasn't dismantled the torture camps in Gitmo and/or prosecuted those involved, or the posts about my frustration that don't ask/don't tell hasn't been overturned, or my posts expressing frustration that the Patriot act hasn't been dismantled.
In other words, Zyph, you see what you want to see, because it's damn sure that I haven't been licking Obama's balls, either.
beyond that, you seem kinda tense and defensive. What's that about?
If you were there, great. but I strongly suspect that the majority of teabaggers weren't, and are simply rabidly partisan Republicans.
the which is substantiated by the statistics from the OP.
It's the age old Republican lie. They are not against big government or big spending. That is a proven fact at this point. They are against spending if it's done by Democrats. They are against "big government" if the bill is a Democratic one. That's why I'm a Libertarian. Republicans sold idiots a bill of goods. And yes, the tea baggers are mostly Republicans. That's why I don't believe any part of it sincere.
Why would people who want to put thier balls on the mouth foaming teabagees mouth, be at a tea party convention? :ssst:

I've seen next to nothing with you making up derogatory terms for those in the anti-war movement, criticizing other members and other groups on this forum for not doing like you, etc.
I don't know Catz, are you just a hypocrite that's only making big noise about groups you dislike and the groups you actually side with you don't rant about as much? Wow, that seems so hugely hypocritical of you catz. You should go about and make a nickname for yourself that people can use derogatorily towards you like "tea baggers" since if someone's a hypocrite and does something more for one group than another group despite them being relatively equal they're worthy of non-stop insulting.
I've apparently become the locus for it.
Actually many of us are actual libertarians, and not whiny so called "libertarian" complainers. :shrug:
Some of you are. "Many" might be pushing it. The teabaggers in Georgia all seem to have W and Palin stickers on their SUV's. But like I said above, you personally may be different. I know if you looked at my posts in 2005 you would see I was a bit ahead of the tea party curve. I never bought the big lie like so many others did. Others who are now pretending they dislike "big government". Yeah, OK.
Wow. Am I awesome or what?
You, and Stekim, both are hypocrites, just as much as you claim the Tea Partiers are. You lambast them but give other groups no where near your vitriol and attention in your postings.
You bash tea partiers for doing actions, being louder when the other side is in power and being louder when the other side is doing the things you dislike WORSE than your guy was doing it, that both parties have done for decades upon decades yet you previously almost never and currently almost never lambast others for their actions of it currently or in the past. You put them on the spit for "hypocrisy" that is present in every human being.
No, you are not awesome........ you just come across as a foul mouthed bigot.

:lol:nice hit piece...
BREAKING NEWS, TEA PARTY LEANS REPUBLICAN!!!!! :lamo
Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which tracks media reports, found that the tea parties consumed a steady measure of news for most of this year before exploding during tax week to compete with the Icelandic volcano for attention and outstripping health care with 6% of all media reports that week.
I cant speak to the vulgar balls in the mouth anecdites but i stand by what i say. This group embodies many of the ideals us libertarians hold dear. You being a big mouthed schillfor the left wing kooks does what for us libertarians?
Nothing. Are you going to claim next you have been to a tea party rally? So many if the tebagged ball sucking crowd here has done so already. Heck they apparently have been to more than us tea party folk.
Btw. Palim is not the tea party. She is an opportunist using this grass roots movement for her ow. Gain. :shrug:
Actually, you hit upon one of my primary points. Given their past (non) actions I don't believe for a second they embody any of the ideals Libertarians hold dear. Yes, Virginia, they are full of crap. Like I said before, they don't like big government unless they are in charge of it. Then it's fine. That's what their past (non)actions scream. And that's why I don't take them seriously.
Hell no. I can't stand being around raging hypocrites.
I know she's not. She's just a big government Republican. So she has a lot in common with the tea party crowd.
So how long do they need to be outspoken, before you say they are legit? :roll:
Nah you just want to whine about everyone it seems. :shrug:
The tea party is not a big government crowd. Please lets not dumb this down any more than you all already have. :roll:
:lol: the day hazle teaches the Good reverend about "courage" :lamo
Well, gosh, let's see. Does the fact they waited 30 years mean anything? It does to me. It screams hypocrisy. Even more so when you consider the Bush II years. Seems to me the "small government" crowd would have spoken up at some point. But nope. It's was all good. It's not a matter of how long you are outspoken. It's a matter of WHEN. And their WHEN is laughable.
Actually, as a point of order, it's the teabaggers whining, not me.
Sure they aren't. All those W stickers are just on the cars by accident I suppose. And all the GOP big government speakers are mere coincidence, right? How gullible are you?
If he could just teach you about spelling, that would be a huge improvement.
Then you weren't paying attention. Heck even sean hannity and Limbaugh would critisize Bush on his drunken sailor spending. :shrug:
Here is where you're a hypocrite..... We are "whinng" about the need for smaller government, less taxes, and more accountable reps.....
Your a supposed libertarian whining about us "whining" about things you are supposed to be about.
All of those "GOP big Government" speakers are a by product of the times. It was not nor was it part of the grass roots movement. It is opportunists trying to co-opt the tea party.
