Re: Obama: We have a deal
Not speaking for teamosil here, but…yes, they appear to be exactly the first type Tea Baggers he was talking about. Sawing away at the tree branch you’re sitting on is a great definition for "terminally stupid"; thank you for affirming this point.
teamosil said:We're all being held hostage by the stupidest, meanest, element of our society.
OhIsee.Then said:Sorry, I have to post this again.What you are also missing is an understanding of Tea Party supporters. I met with Tea Party individuals at a demonstration. Two older folks there were carrying signs that read “NO GOV HEALTH CARE”, but to me they looked old enough to be on Medicare. They were on Medicare. They explained to me that they didn’t want the government taking it over and messing with it.
Also, a Tea Party family was at the demonstration, father, mother and one 10 year old son; two more at home. My wife and I chatted with them. The father is a vet that started serving just after the Viet War ended. He was disposing of Agent Orange; which in our opinion may have been the source of his health problems. He had a heart attack about 6 months earlier. Went to the hospital where his wife works as a low level employee. What she said she did only pays low wages. They can’t afford the extra for family health insurance, she was the only one insured since that can’t be refused for more pay. His bill was about $90,000. Her wages were garnished by the hospital; it’s only a small garnishment so it will take a very long time to pay it off. Again, they were there with a Don’t Tread On Me flag and more.
Are these the Tea Party members you are thinking of? Or are there two kinds of Tea Partiers? What kinds are there?
