Why do you think that the Republicans lost the house and the senate? It's because they abandoned the conservatives that are the base of thier party. I am a fiscal conservative, I don't like big government or the insane spending that goes with it. I don't give a rat's ass who is doing it, Republican or Democrat. I am proud to tell you that I have attended two tea parties and will be attending more in the future.
All right, Maple. Maybe we can have a real conversation. I'd really like to. Tell me, don't the tea bagger folks hate the traditional Republicans, like Newt, and what they stand for?? And the traditional GOP hates the tea baggers back?? That's my understanding anyway.
If that's the case, I don't get it. Aren't the tea baggers all Republicans?? And don't all of the tea baggers vote Republican?? If that's not the case, what party do the tea baggers vote for and with?? It sure ain't gonna be the Dems!!! It's very confusing to me. Thanks for your input.
If you are trying to engage in a discussion, it would help to refer to the protestors correctly - TEA Partyers - not tea baggers. And, generally speaking, they don't 'hate' anyone - they just love the Constitution. Not a bad thing to love - it's the document that founded our nation.... you might want to read it sometime. It's an impressive, short, document - unlike the crap that our congresscritters produce these days.
Well, I suggest that maybe you watch the tea parties, read the signs, and listen to the interviews. These people have hats with all these teabags hanging in their eyes and they are angry and hateful. That's what I see and hear.
To me, they are just a bunch of crazy attention seekers. Every question they were asked by reporters completely stumped them. They were totally ignorant of the issues. I don't think the term "tea baggers" would insult this bunch.
I've read the constitution in school. It's not something that I sit around and read now. What does the constitution have to do with what these people are doing?? I can't imagine!!!!
