    The larger the wall of text, the more desperate the Obama defender. Blaming everybody but Barack takes a lot of words. This post is a excellent example.

    So, someone holding a sign at a rally is higher?

    Actually, he called himself a racist. I am just using his logic to point that out.

    To summarize your joke of a link:

    The Tea party lies:

    * Is behind the birth-certificate conspiracy.
    * Is behind the Death panel conspiracy
    * Is calling Obama a Muslim/Socialist/Fascist
    * Is saying that Obama is going to take away our guns
    * Is stating that Fascism is a left-wing phenomenon.
    * Is saying that Global warming is a hoax
    * Is saying that some 16,000 new IRS agents will enforce the new health care reform act by throwing you in jail
    * Has said that Two million people were at the 9/12 March on Washington
    * The Tea Parties are a non-partisan, broad grassroots movement,.....Link note: but is rabidly paleo-conservative fake populism organized and whipped up by the most popular cable-news network on television, with a heaping helping of corporate financing.

    I looked in the TEA Party platform and could find none of the accusations...


    sounds like a 'vast Left-wing conspiracy' with false accusations and out-and-out slander and perversion of facts...but hate knows no boundaries, and their means of achieving their dishonest ends is considered 'noble' to their stinking thinking..

    ADVICE: You'd better get some 'anger mgmt' help b4 you explode something in your angry pants!

    Who said it had anything to do with the Tea Party platform? You seem confused?

    The research on the tea party suggests that there is a huge racial thread going through many parts of it.

    Tea partiers are routinely making racial remarks in public. The lastest example being the group that showed up at the Mall during the shutdown. Other examples are too numerous to mention.

    This does not mean all tea partiers are racist at all, as I pointed out. The Ron Paul wing (the real tea party), was never racist. It is simplistic and parochial, but not racist.

    The other point that my remarks should illustrate, is that there is no "entire group" called the tea party. Just a mob of loosely connected arch conservative groups all residing under that unbrella.

    Refuting any part of it taks a lot more words.

    The only people on the planet who don't blame the right wing lunatic fringe of the GOP for this disaster are the people in the right wing lunatic fringe.

    I'm gonna guess, based on your username and low care factor about women's health, that you are single...

    I'll further guess, based on your self-serving rhetoric, that your prospects won't be improving any time soon.

    Quoting something without attribution is a violation of the rules here.

    Besides, which of these K Street front groups has appointed itself spokesman and platform author of the "tea party" this week?

    The right-wing is seizing on technical difficulties and trying to apply it to the whole law. The technical difficulties will be resolved. Unfortunately for the GOP, the glitches in their party will still be around for the next election season which will be kicked off by, get this, another shutdown/debt ceiling debacle with the T-Party wrecking balls swearing to double down on crazy.

    I wonder where the corporate cash is going to flow if the Tea Party terrors have their way and pull a few more tens of billions out of the economy?

    I heard that the TEA Party:

    1) Wants to mandate that all roofs be painted black and that only asphalt be used on roads to hasten global warming.

    2) Also wants to ban water ice and use only dry ice (frozen CO2) so as to directly sublimate into the atmosphere and bypass the melting state.

    3) Wants to dump old Mercurys in the ocean to further pollute the fish & kill the planet.

    4) Wants to remove the letters "M," "S,' "N," "B," and "C" from the alphabet.

    5) Wants to ban trees from ppl's yards and replace them with GOP billboards.

    6) Has caused a new disease, TPDS (Tea Party Derangement Syndrome), where only hysterical Liberal ranting & raving can give temporary relief.

    and finally,

    7) Hides under ppl's beds to scare grown adults when they sleep.

    Yep. A good bellwether of this is Michelle Bachmann. When this crazy t-party spokesperson was first elected in 2000, she garnered over 60% of the votes. This swelled to almost 90% of the votes in her district in 2008; about the time the Tea Party started to slither its way into the public conscience. Compare that to the barely 50% of votes she got in 2012. She is now retiring because the likelihood of her winning in 2014 is slim.

    The Tea Party is a dead man walking. Once the Boomers die off, the teapot will go cold and this tiny blip on the political radar will be remembered for what it was, and it won't be a pretty memory.

    Bag the Tea Party before they teabag America!!!

    You are wrong, Todd. Michelle Bachman is just a blip on the radar screen. The Tea Party is here to stay... and like OD said, they live under your bed.

    *BOO*

    No, they won't. Not in your lifetime.

    Good. They should shut down the government for real this time. Make sure the social security checks and the food stamps and the unemployment money all disappear for a month or two. Then we'll see what's what. I'll give those dumb toadstools three days till the riots begin.

    Same way it always flows, straight from Obama to the banks.

    Honestlty, you think this prez is going to let a little thing like a nationwide riot get in the way of his agenda?

    He didn't care about Americans dying in Benghazi, why should he care about them dying in Peoria?

    Nah. It costs everyone. Tea Party obstructionism has cost the US dearly. In January/February, the price is going to go up as the Tea Party once again gleefully makes unreasonable demands to keep the government up and running and the economy once again pays the Tea Tax which will get tacked on to the $700,000,000,000 and millions of jobs that the Tea Party Tantrum has affected on the US.

    The difference? It will be fresh in the minds of voters as they go to the polls and so far, it simply does not look good for the GOP and their T-Party brownshirts.

    This slander and liable is really getting old, as stated b4:

    The TEA 'Parties' have sponsored African-American politicians such as: Tim Scott (Rep and now SC-Sen), Allen West (FL-Rep), Herman Cain (GOP Pres cand), Mia Love (UT-Rep cand), etc. and MANY of the TEA Party organizers (David Webb, Deneen Borelli, etc.) are African-Americans, including the up & coming neuro surgeon Dr. Ben Carson!

    The whole 'racist' labeling is a LIE to further demonize and discredit their true mission and shut down conversation.

    A form of inhibiting free speech!


    BTW, Tom when did you stop beating your wife...I mean, I heard.....

    The Tea Party is making racial remarks? So what? You got two citizens in NYC that were pulled out of their car and beaten by a gang of teenage hoodlums, who were hurling racial epithets the whole time. Why aren't you concerned about all the leftist racism? Why single out the Tea Party?

    Actually, the count is around 460,000 but the difference is only a zero or so, amiright? The number is expected to accelerate greatly in the upcoming months as the deadline approaches and the technical glitches are ironed out.

    So what is the right-wing's back up plan barring failure of the exchanges? My guess is that they'll come to the conclusion that they just weren't far-right enough and/or they need to step up their voter suppression efforts to keep as many dirty libruls from voting as possible.

    Of course the MSM propaganda will help that along. They would not have to vote on CR's if the Senate would pass any of the appropriation bills, which is how the budget process is supposed to work. For instance, the Military appropriations bill was voted out of the House 421 to 4. Pretty bipartisan. The Senate leadership will not bring it to the Senate floor for a vote but instead want's to push a CR so they can have a showdown because they know the propagandists are on their side and that their base is either too stupid or too partisan to care.

    Ah ... I get it now.

    Since it is a little late to keep blaming President Bush for the current administration's failure to accomplish anything ... The blame has switched to the Tea Party.
    So what you are saying is that the Tea Party can obviously accomplish more of its goals than the President can.
    When you look at whether or not the Tea Party is accomplishing what their voters sent them to Congress to do ... Then you have to say that the Tea Party has a better track record than the President for pleasing their voters.

    Now ... You may disagree with what the Tea Party voters want out of Congress and from the Government (nothing) ... But I believe that is part of their platform.
