As the left becomes the minority, they awaken to what the Tea Party has wrought

[NYcarbineer]

Yup 100 billion in cuts, but seeing that by the time a budget is passed, nearly half the year will be over, scaling back the number is logical.
Seeing libs govern by emotion rather than logic, it's pretty easy to see why you can't grasp the concept.
100 billion per year translates to 50 billion over 6 months. What's so hard about that? Or are you just looking for a talking point to discredit the newly seated GOP controlled House?

The teabaggers made promises they couldn't keep, so they're sure the teabaggers are being honest

In wingnut world, an honest politician makes promises they can't keep, realizes the mistake right after being elected, and is honest for running away from his promise

If I hire you to work for me at a salary of $50,000/year and you start on July 1st, how much would you expect to receive the first calender year? Would you accuse me of breaking my promise if between 7/1 and 12/31 you only received $25,000?

The GOP knew what the deal was when they made the promise.

I think you have overdosed yourself sangha, did you take your pills and then forget that you took them and did a dose again?

 

[sangha]

Sheez sangha, you have some very serious mental problems don't you?
Where do you get that Ernie said the fed budget is 50k a year?

I'm guessing from within his/her own little mind.
From the area where baseless agenda is formed and pushed out into the public.

I see you STILL don't want to talk about how the teabaggers are running away from their promise to cut spending by $100B

Wingnuts will talk about anything but how their teatards are being used by the GOP. They will talk about Obama, taxes, FREEDOM, socialism, and on and one, just so they can avoid talking about how the teabaggers are being used over and over.

They're the only teabags that can be used over and over again

The Teatards knew the Government fiscal year structure when they made the $100 billion promise. They also knew they would take office in January 2011.

Why don't they just admit they were lying and had no idea what spending they could cut?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA....you Tea Baggers got PUNK'D by professional GOP politicians. Good show!

Promised GOP Budget Cuts May Be Much Lower Than Promised

You don't even get it do you? You're too fucking dense. No one... and I repeat, NO ONE, got PUNK'D, worse than YOU PEA BRAINED OBAMABOTS! You are the POSTER CHILDREN for getting PUNK'D.

Sheeeeezuz... what a fucking MORON.

teabaggers got elected by promising other teabaggers they would cut spending by $100B. Once elected, they immediately run away from their promise to cut spending by $100B

idiot wingnut teabaggers, who want to cut spending, are thrilled that the teabaggers are running away from their promise to cut spending by $100B

What part of all social programs are going broke is the left not getting or wanting to talk about.
If the Repubs don't get the budget under control then 3rd patry reps will be elected and they know this.

Social programs are not going broke. Social Security and Medicare are idividually funded and are currently solvent. Long term adjustments in age and benefits will have to be made

The budget needs to be evaluated as a whole, without sacred cows exempted by the right

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating:

The "Tea Party" movement arose from decades-old mistrust of and frustration with our elected officials (on both sides) who refused to listen to our grievances.


They ignored us, betrayed us, and abused our good graces.
And although the result was as predictable as the sunrise, it apparently remains quite unbelievable to many left-of-center.

Granted, We The People are partially to blame. We did not live up to our duties as citizens of this nation.
Our system of government was designed for a citizenry that remains actively engaged and involved in the goings-on of government, at all levels. We are charged with holding our elected officials accountable. But for far too long, far too many of us shrunk from those responsibilities. "Sorry, I have 2.3 kids I have to get to soccer practice, I've no time". "No can do, I'm heading to the bar to watch the game". "What? Pay attention to politics? No, I don't care about that crap! I just got a new iPod and have to get my tunes transferred!" We became self-absorbed little brats.

And, as with most things, we got what we deserved.

But, as the Tea Party movement grew (and still grows), a political 'awakening' began. One that harkens back to our nation's Revolution, when ordinary citizens, tired of government's mandates and tyrannical grasp, finally had enough. Back then, pitch-forks and torches were the norm. Today, we don't have to go that far, thankfully. But however far away we are distanced from those days, an alert citizenry must remain on alert, and must always remember that the pitch-forks and torches should always remain an option...The very LAST option...But an option, none the less. Why?

Read:

"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."


Over the past year, the Tea Party movement, and those who identify with it, has become a political force to be reckoned with. Its basis for existence is not a hot-button issue or 'flavor of the month' cause. It is the very Constitution itself, and the fact that our system of government has wandered far away from the simplicity and intent contained within.

And as the left continues its predictable soros-funded, union-thug enforced attacks against those who would dare claim the moniker of "Tea Party member", it is clear that a very raw and exposed nerve has been stomped on by citizen patriots all across the country.

Those opposed to the Tea Party movement wring their hands in frustration at the very notion that We The People are finally paying attention and can clearly see right through their spoken intent, down into the political abyss of their true intent: Maintaining governmental power over the people. Keeping down a section of society, lying to their faces, and telling them that government should always be their savior, while at the same time constantly harassing, bullying and stealing from the rest of us, because we might have a few honest dollars to spend and a warm & safe home in which to live, all WITHOUT the need or want of a governmental 'nanny' to provide anything for us, beyond the bounds of the Constitution.

Over at Townhall today, Carol Platt Liebau has a great little piece titled:

"[They] Can't Defeat What They Can't Understand"

In part, it reads:
(snip)

It's always a delight to watch liberals try to "diagnose" the causes of conservatism. Steny Hoyer believes that Tea Partiers come from unhappy families (a variant of the "nurture" argument). On the other hand -- in a "nature" argument minus the usual lefty proclamation of respect for "diversity" -- Colin Firth believes that conservatives are just biologically "different."

Apparently, it's simply impossible for people just to believe in limited government, political and religious liberty, free enterprise, military strength and traditional values.

Carol, of course, is on-point with this.

Those opposed to the Tea Party movement are continually aghast at what it has wrought.
They cannot believe that We The People would do such a thing to our governmental 'nanny' who supposedly only wants what's best for us.

Fair warning: We The People know what's best for us. We are the ones taking care of our lives, our families and our communties. Without any help from government thugs or chicanery.

"How dare they live our own lives", they say. "How dare they take care of themselves!", they cry.


We dare just fine...Thank you.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Light and transient causes? Like losing a election?

Consent of the governed? Remember that vote back in 2008 when President Obama beat Senator McCain 365 to 172?

The Tea Party was hijacked early on by the pseudo-conservatives in order to regain the power they lost because of President Bushes terms. They hoodwinked people in to believing they were based on libertarian ideals, when in fact they are the same old, same old.

And now, we'll pour over 2 pages of posts about how stupid it is to use something from Townhall. Oh, but wait, there's more:

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

You'll note on the graph that the rate went from 4.2% to 7.4% during the 8yrs of the Bush administration.

You'll also note that in November 2008 (when "the one" was elected), the rate was 6.9%.
The exact number Townhall reports.

Then, since obama took office, the rate went from 7.7%, reached a high of 10.1% and is now sitting at 9.8% (as of Nov. 2010).

A peak at that chart at the BLS, tells the tale.


Now, as far as oil goes:
Historical Crude Oil Prices Table

Looking at the 2nd chart, during "the one's" leadership, the price has gone from $33.07 to $66.25 in May of this year, with the total price now sitting at around $88:
CRUDE OIL PRICE


Yet, we hear no crabbing, whining or complaining from the left, about the unemployment numbers, or the oil prices. But, true to form, when Bush was in office, they whined like red-headed step children throwing a hissy on the kitchen floor.

Transparent as scotch tape.
And jealous...yep, you bet!

Do you know how many Tea Party links I could post making your claim look foolish?

Please....

 

[Oscar Wao]

Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, and Glenn Beck do not make the Tea Party.

In fact, if you're going to associate ANYONE with the Tea Party, it should be Ron Paul, since the first "Tea Party" rally (in the sense that we're talking about) was on the big moneybomb night (December 16, 2007):

Ask a handful of Tea Party members and you'll never get a clear-cut answer on who the "Tea Party" leader is. Why? There isn't one.

Those buses and commercials on TV just magically appeared!! Honest!

It's called "grass-roots".
Something you lefty's love to claim as your own.

And yet...What "movement" would be considered the "mother" of all grass-roots movements? The citizens who took up arms in our nation's Revolution. On their own. Without any prompting from a fat movie producer, a media-whoring mother monopolizing on her lost son's memory, or a jew-hating loud mouth who's movie career was over ages ago.

The left's hatred of the Tea Party movement, and all within, is based upon nothing more than jealousy. How dare anyone else but the left launch a movement?! How dare that movement be successful?! How dare they do it without being led around by the nose by Peter Fonda or Saul Alinsky?! Who do they think they are!? They can't do that!? If the left isn't involved than it isn't any kind of movement at all!

Yes...the UGLY head of jealousy.

Oh how does that song go...."don't know much about History.

This is the Tea Party roots and what they represents, not the libertarians ideals they claim as their own.

This wingnut is so dumb, it thinks the Fed budget is $50k/year !!!!

Re-read my post and tell me again who is dumb.

If I hire you to work for me at a salary of $50,000/year.....

Where did I mention the federal budget?

You won't mention the fed budget because you don't know much about it. For one thing, you think it works like a paycheck

But then, I shouldn't expect more from a group of people who don't know that the Fed budget starts in September, and not January

No, shit for brains. It works like a budget. If you remove a 100 billion dollar item from a budget half way through the fiscal year, 50 billion has already been spent, so you only save the remaining 50 billion. WHAT IS SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
