New Poll shows Tea party more popular than Republican Party

Its not a blanket statement meant to apply to all. There are legitimate tea party protestors....and then there are teabaggers. Its really that simple.

LOL dude. You did it again.
 
Using this logic I take it that you think the vast majority of all the war protests were all fake mindless zombies of the left wing blogosphere since you know....Iraq is still going on, Afghanistan is still going on, Pakistan is being talked about and suddenly there's far, far left outcry and protests from the Left.

Same thing about Immigration. We still don't have amnesty, still don't have reform to immigration, and yet where are the gigantic immigrant right protests.

Or could it possibly be that when things are even worse than just bad (such as Obama spending FAR more than Bush, or Bush being far worse on war than obama) OR when its not your ideology in control, the natural instinct for people is to become more outspoken about a situation?

your one sided bull**** is...well...expected from you.

Yes....many who show up on the left-side aren't really aware of the true issues either.

The one key difference, however, is that the war protests tend to initiate from the beginning. The tea party protestors sat suspiciously silent for the previous 8 years and then became unglued as soon as a Democrat got elected and their right-wing radio nutjobs got all hyper.
You have to look at the timing...as well....to see what is really going on.

Right, Right, you said VAST MAJORITY, silly me, that doesn't mean ALL and by no stretch of the imagination is that a blanketing them. :D

And you haven't been so turgid for them over the last 8 years. Your the same as what you accuse those you use vulgar insults to attack...


That's Irony. :lol:

Where are the war protesters today? Where were you posting idiotic threads about "protester-traitors" and "protesters"

LOL...are you refering to the slivers of carrots, cabbage and radish that is in the standard iceberg mix? There is little to no nutritional value in that.

Sorry....but you cannot make a healthy meal for three kids for much less than $10. It just isn't going to happen.

:rofl

Salad with chicken is a nutritional meal. A link with the nutrition value of lettuce alone doesn't help your cause much. It only shows your desperation.
 
Oh puh-lease. Do you even for a minute believe that the vast majority of the people who showed up were concerned primarily about fiscal responsibility?
If they were....where were they for the previous 8 years.
No....most of them were there because they were told to be there by the blowhard right-wing radio nuts whom they idolize....and for no other reason.


Have you been to any 'tea parties' Disney? Because I have, and although the message was kind of all over the place in terms of organization, one thing was clear amongst the diverse crowd there. And that was that they felt that the politicians in DC has forsaken their voice. That they felt like they were being ignored by the very people that placed them in their positions.

Where were they for 8 years? stewing. Bush, and republican spending was bad, and as a consequence lost the repubs all control in the elections, on a promise of demo's pandering to do a better job. What did we get? spending at the rate of 4 times what the Bush years gave us, corruption in all sectors, broken promise of transparency, and a path of totally destroying what made this country great. And all based on lies from the demo's.

You libs will be lucky to get out of this path with a party in tact.

absolutely....its the dollar value menu problem. Buying healthy foods, fresh fruit/vegetables are very expensive. Its cheaper for families to buy the fast food high fat dollar menu food than it is to prepare a healthy meal.

That is so much bull****.... I can cook a meal for 4 people from scratch ingredients for the cost of 1 Whopper, a large fry, and a large drink.... nice try.
 
You might be able to get a bag of iceberg lettuce mix for $2 (which has no nutritional value)....Salad greens that actually have nutritional value run in the 3-4 dollar range. And you are going to serve three kids 1 chicken breast?

More bull****...... a head of green leaf lettuce is $1.49.... bunch of green onions, $.50. That's a big salad for 4 people.... 2 bucks.

come on now disneydude shops at whole foods. ****'s expensive.
 
No, I'm only insulting people who lie and/or believe hysterical lies.



It's not hypocrisy. I'm not criticizing them for dissent, only for lying. Dissent all you want.

But it's only lies because YOU don't agree with them......
 
:rofl

Sorry. You need to learn a little bit more about nutrition. Iceberg lettuce mix with some chicken meat, may provide protein, but it doesn't come close, when coupled with water, to providing a balanced meal.

I don't disagree. But a head of green leaf lettuce and a bunch of green onions is hardly a nutritious meal for a family with three kids.
 
As the OP indicates, so will you.


At one time I used to consider myself a repub. Not any more friend. I am a conservative. When my party started listening to you libs about how to govern, and shed their messages of fiscal responsibility, and smaller government, that is when I started leaving them.

Corruption, and driving this country to ruin is nothing to defend.

A Whopper meal is now approaching $6 - double the amount that we were originally talking about. I said $10....so you are coming in about $4 under what I said.
I think there are some meals that you can make in that range...but that's pushing it.
To make a truly nutritious meal for a family with three kids, I think you are pushing it for under $10.
 
come on now disneydude shops at whole foods. ****'s expensive.

I don't shop at whole foods. Luckily....I have transportation and shop at least three different markets every week to get the best value I can.
I shop Ralphs (Kroger), Vons (Safeway) and my local Ranch Market (for inexpensive produce). Sometimes I will drive to Albertson's if I see things I want in their ad.

I am a frugal shopper and use coupons and do everything I can to stretch my budget, while still eating healthy.

For a lot of people, its cheaper for them to run to Jack in the Box for 2 tacos for 99Cents....which is what raised this issue initially, the childhood obeisity problem.

That said, many poor families don't have the same luxury that I have to shop 3 different markets. They rely on public transit and markets that are close to their homes.

sounds like you're killing the environment to save a few bucks. pretty selfish if you ask me. :lol::lol::lol:

thanks to dear leaders 'Hope and Change' they are working two jobs, and 99 cent tacos might be all they can afford if they want heat this month.

Thanks for that.

So wouldn't that be because of poor urban planning in urban areas? These poor areas are not as dense as the demand would warrant (because zoning laws cap density). If you had enough people in a smaller area, you would get more markets, especially since these people aren't very mobile due to low income. The problem of not being able to eat healthy is because of the government.

There are a number of issues. Oftentimes it is difficult to get the large supermarkets to build in poor areas. Its a cost/demand ratio. Many markets don't want to invest capital in areas where the spending power is low.
As a result, usually the option that people in these areas have are to either trek to other areas in public transit and haul back their groceries, or shop the smaller markets near their homes that often charge much more than the larger markets because they don't have the volume and therefore cannot offer the same prices.

Nice try, but it wasn't Obama that created the economic condition that we are in. If in seven years when he leaves office things are not improved, then absolutely you can say that he failed to improve the situation.
 
Absolutely. I would be all for a Goldwater conservative party. Dump the social agenda and get back to what being a conservative REALLY is.

If the Republicans would redefine themselves as fiscal conservatives (classic liberalism) who support pragmatic 'safety net' social programs, then I'd listen to what they have to say -- however as long as they want to regulate social policy and cater to the religious right... I can't hear a damn word.

1. These are probably lies.

2. Republicans are more likely to be fiscally conservative than socially conservative, and just because they're usually both doesn't mean they all emphasize the latter. You both just only hear what you listen for.

The Mayo Clinic disagrees with you....

Caesar salad with grilled chicken - MayoClinic.com

Those silly nutritionists at the Mayo Clinic actually believe that its a healthy meal. You should go there and set them straight. They must be starving their patients.
