Obama To Tea Party: 'Identify, Specifically, What Would You Do?'

[Cecilie1200]

When those dipshits take down their signs and quit calling my CINC a communist and scoialist I'll be more civil.

Well unfortunatly the guy did buy a car company with tax dollars sooooo.....yeah

As far as specific suggestions, repeal Obamacare and start over with something that will actually do some good, for starters.

Repeal the health care bill, replace it with nothing as far as alternatives and then pretend everything is going to work out, inaction is the worst kind of action.

Didn't know why it was the federal government's job to interfere in health care when Obama first proposed taking it over, don't know why it's their job now. (Frankly, I didn't know why it was their job waaaayyy back when the Clintons proposed taking it over.)

And no, the worst kind of action is "do anything in order to be doing something".

Are you so intellectually inept you can not use regular English? All I have seen from you are straw arguments. Maybe you missed the hot dog and bean portion of democrats. I can think of some very uncomplimentary descriptions. Is that the level you wish to communicate at?

When your CINC quits behaving like a communist and a socialist, perhaps we won't NEED to protest him. Perhaps if his followers weren't such ignorant, low-class twats, he wouldn't have to behave like a communist and a socialist in order to pander to them.

Don't get the cart before the horse, Mensa Boy. You have to stop ruining the country BEFORE you demand that we stop protesting you for it.

Socially liberal programs to wipe out poverty and provide health care coverage is not fucking socialism. you can keep saying the same shit over and over again, but fuck all of that because thats besides the point I'm making, if Republitards and Tea Bastards don't want to get insulted and personally attacked they shouldn't dish it out.

If I've made the life of any rightwinger in this forum hell I have done my job.

Nope. The only thing you've achieved is to embarrass the crap out of intelligent liberals. Entertaining as that is, you have failed in your job. I suspect this is something you hear often.

there is no fucking such thing as an "intelligent liberal" if they were intelligent they wouldn't be liberals.

Nope, that's not true. There are rational, intelligent, liberals - we have some on this board. What we have a lot more of are the borglike Obamanation.

The OP is a classic example of the borglike Obamanation. Clearly, he has not bothered to actually read what the TEA Parties stand for, preferring to get his 'thoughts' from the HuffPo.

Well Tea Bastards, er baggers, er partiers, what exactly do you want to do ?

For starters many of would like to try most of your leaders with treason, and then put them against a wall and have them executed like dogs.

Thats not what you say about liberals in other threads dipshit, don't try to play the saint now, you're one of the biggest partisan hacks in here.

Basically all the Tea Partiers are asking from government is to not spend or obligate the taxpayers' money irresponsibly, to not keep creating more and more debt, to respect the intent of the Constitution, and to eliminate unnecessary taxes and regulation that is hindering America's ability to create jobs and generate productivity and prosperity.

The Tea Party is supporting all candidates who agree with them on that. And they are opposing candidates who disagree with them on that. They aren't telling those bound for Congress HOW to do it. Just do it.

C'mon fox, everyone wants that. Nobody is saying they love deficit and debt and unemployment. It's the job of the politik to determine the best way to tax and broadcast the revenue to best benefit the most people and maintain the infrastructure of government, and in some cases, facilitate the private sector (Eg, Federal reserve, Interstate highways).

Just shouting that you want it done is not productive. To be relevant you must have some ideas on how to do it.

Obama To Tea Party: 'Identify, Specifically, What Would You Do?'

Well Tea Bastards, er baggers, er partiers, what exactly do you want to do ?

Actually that's the question that tea partiers are posing to the politicians. The Tea Parties are about ideas, whether some of them want to run for election and work on the process, well that's an individual choice.

The common ideas tend towards how government should work-via the Constitution. The size of government-smaller. A return of just powers to the states, rather than federal, the former being more responsive to the citizens. Actually for all the nonsense verbiage used against them, they want what the founders wanted, the rather revolutionary idea of a government working for the people, not the other way around.

Not a difficult concept to grasp... in my opinion. And, for those who don't grasp it.. we are a gazillion $$ in debt, 1 in 7 people are in poverty and our much beloved "social safety nets" are broke. At what point do these progressives, or whatever the hell they are, have the sense to admit it ain't worked? Maybe something new is needed. This much is for sure... more taxes and more entitlements are not the answer. And herein lies the trap for the GOP when they take over Congress in November... are you willing to tell people the nasty truth and then act on it?

Well Tea Bastards, er baggers, er partiers, what exactly do you want to do ?

Barak Hussein, From your source:

We're all demanding services, but our taxes have actually substantially gone down."

"So the challenge, I think, for the Tea Party movement is to identify, specifically, what would you do?" he added. "It's not enough just to say get control of spending. I think it's important for you to say, I'm willing to cut veterans' benefits or I'm willing to cut Medicare or Social Security benefits or I'm willing to see these taxes go up. What you can't do, which is what I've been hearing a lot from the other side, is we're going to control government spending, we're going to propose $4 trillion of additional tax cuts, and that magically somehow things are going to work. Now, some of these are very difficult choices."

Are we really "All demanding services?"




The first thing the Tea Party is demanding is less Nanny-State leadership that doesn't see the American People as anything more than a collection of individuals that need Government to wipe their ass

The only service I'm demanding is protecting the goddamn border.

WHEN IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN?

Oh there are dire warnings to the GOP with every Tea Party influenced win this November. Charles Krauthammer has an excellent column today, though IMO misses the real tsunami at work within the movement. This election will help the GOP, whatever the outcome they are going to be watching and taking notes. They mean for these men and women to represent them, not the elite of either party-which are actually the same folks, from the same schools and backgrounds.

2012 will be a more interesting election in my opinion.

Very true... we have reached a point where the same-old-shit isn't going to cut it. I heard Paul Ryan talking about this the other night. There are very tough changes that are necessary, and people know it. 2010 & 2012 will be pivotal in the sense that, are people really serious about taking a radically different direction? It will be the true collision of two radically different ideolgies.

Dear Mr. President,

I am not a member of the Tea Party or any other formal political party. Specifically, I would recommend following the Constitution and stop looking for ways to impose your agenda by avoiding Congress and the will of the public.

Taking responsibility for your actions would be appreciated as well. Blaming other people who are doing their job really gets old fast. Perhaps if you looked for better qualified cabinet and other appointees, and less emphasis on their poltics, you would be more successful.

Sincerely,

Overworked average Joe.

I think if the GOP takes over the House and at least achieves more balance in the Senate in November and continue to put out a message the people want to hear backed up by what they actually do, the Democratic Party will never again be the powerhouse that it has been for most of the last 100 years. They have had total control with a super majority in the Senate and somebody in the White House who will sign anything they send him for going on two years now and have accomplished absolutely nothing other than legislation that is deeply unpopular.

The GOP, however, didn't have the super majority, but they did have the House, Senate, and Whitehouse long enough to make a difference and they blew it. If they get another chance and blow it again, I think that will pretty well finish the GOP.

Whatever anybody thinks about the Tea Party, they have absolutely changed the debate and the focus. The efforts by the Political Class to demonize them have had some effect but I don't think enough effect to completely blunt the message.

I think it will be an interesting two years.

The hell it isn't. When the gubmint sticks their hand in my pocket to confiscate my hard earned money to give it to someone who has not earned it.......that is socialism. I'm a generous and charitable person, but I like to choose who I help and how. Constitutionally, the gubmint doesn't get to make those choices for me......even though they do. Earn your own damn keep and pay as you go. You are not entitled to MINE!

Indeed.

1. Dems will have had control of both congress and the presidency for 4 years. Everyone but rdean and uscitizen might have stopped blaming BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONIRAQ for everything from hurricanes to ingrown toenails.

2. Repubs will have had 4 years to wake-the-fuck-up and begin offering more than Dem-Lite solutions.

Liar.

Everyone on this board knows that I differentiate between liberals and drooling fools like you. You are not a liberal - despite your own desire to be one. To be liberal, you must be rational, intelligent and reasoned in your views. You need to understand the difference between an honest opinion based on factual evidence, and a partisan 'I support Obama cuz he black' attititude. You are an example the latter.

You're so rabid in your desire to whine at me that you resort to lies. Pathetic little boy that you are.

Just shouting that you want it done is not productive. To be relevant you must have some ideas on how to do it.

That's the problem. Of course everybody SAYS that is what they want. Everybody SAYS the right things out on the campaign. The Tea Party, however, whenever possible, is supporting the candidate that has a track record to back up the rhetoric.

Only the most devoted disciples now think President Obama has delivered in any way on the fiscal responsibility and transparency promised by Candidate Obama. Nor have the Democrats delivered on their promise to be the most responsible, ethical Congress possible. Lip service is wearing thin these days and the Tea Partiers want people who not only say it, but do it. They want people who are willing to sign their name to a pledge and be held accountable.

According to the Constitution, (and the Tea Partiers) it is the duty of government to secure the rights of the people and then get out of their way as they form the kind of society they wish to have. It is not the duty of government to confiscate property of the people to increase the power, size, influence, authority, and permannce of government.
