Yeah, real "big thinking" liberoidals at it again!

Ah, the Racist Card Card.

Ah, the Racist Card Card Card.

Do you really think your childishness proves the spurious claims of "TEA Partiers are all RACISTS!!!" is true?

Hint: It doesn't.

 

[Google]

So you have no argument then?
I dont watch cable news.
If this was your idea of bringing intelligence to the forum, you failed.

Oh yes and your posts "mainly white and female voters, some are racist some are not"--that is intelligent.

Prove me wrong. Show the stats to back yourslelf up. Pointing to Cain does not make the majority black or even come close to evening out the numbers.
you are makingit sound like saying they are mostky white is a bad thing. No its just saying they are.mostly white.
with any group this large you will have racist elements within it. You cant control this.

Using the logic, ATL listen up here, that "any group this large you will have racist elements within it", every group that large has racist elements in it.

 

[Google]

You know by this logic one can argue that because the Republicans were in control during 9/11 they TOTALLY and COMPLETELY failed to protect us at every and all levels humanly possible.

Right?

Really? Deficit spending and terrorist attacks are completely the same. Did the Republicans put 911 in the expenditure? Congress IS responsible for their spending. Use that logic, go with it....

Perhaps you should look up the word logic and try to apply it a little more astutely.

It's official...you're a certified whack-job.

LoLing @ your usage of the word "logic"

Insightful. Tell us more about how the Tea Party is racist, KKK-loving terrorists that must be stopped by any means necessary.

 

[kwc57]

Today’s Tea Party supporters are disproportionately white social conservatives, who, Campbell and Putnam say, “had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and still do.”

Article dismissed as leftist agenda-driven horseshit.

That's right, thaaaaat's right. Easy does it, no thought necessary. Your ideology will be your guide and comfort.

Admit it, you were looking in the mirror when you said this weren't you?

You must not be familiar with Georgia. I live in Kennesaw, GA. In order to live in the city limits of Kennesaw, ten minutes outside Atlanta, you are required to own a fire arm:

(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.

Shockingly there hasn't been a home invasion in Kennesaw since the 80's, while the county it is in, Cobb County, has one every other day.

 

[kwc57]

LOL!

Look at who comes to back up the "Tea Party is racist." TM, Swallow, Marc, .com... Soon RW/Zona/Chris/Shaman will be here to agree that in fact, the Tea Party is racist lol.

And you noobs wonder why no one gives a shit about the crap you post? Obama goes to a KNOWN RACIST CHURCH for like 20 + years and have any of you ever even started a thread about it? You're just mad because after 3 years of attacking the TP you lost, they are huge, get people elected and have many supporters that are not, how do the bigots put it, "white old Republicans?" hahaha.


So go ahead, sit around nodding yes to each other to help ensure you’re not full of shit… Too bad fact is near the rest of the country does not agree with you and prolly has family that are in the TP.

Hey now, don't interrupt their little circle jerk! View attachment 14870View attachment 14870View attachment 14870View attachment 14870

So the gummit should not require you to buy insurance but is ok to require you to buy guns?

Ok to have a requirement for you to buy beer and pizza?

No home invasion since the 80's? When was the have a gun reguirement passed?

 

[Greenbeard]

Seems that, unlike what especially many on the right like to say, which is that the Tea Party consists of many Independents and Democrats, that it is in fact, a spin-off of disgruntled Republicans. Which many, espeically on the Left have been saying for the last 3 years.

File this one under "are there seriously people who didn't know this?"

 

[BDBoop]

Ok no. The teaparty didnt really start gaining traction till after ron paul ran in 08. People had no qualms about bushes spending. Then the matket crashed and big money was being tossed around.people didnt understand it and didnt like it. What was the real kicker though was them loosing in 08. Which ia why you saw a huge push by them in 10. The dems where caught off guard or.just bent over and took it. Either way they lost.
but lets be honest here, spending was never really the issue. There was never really a peep( outside of a rp supporter) with medicare part d, homeland sec. Or no child left behind.
But i did see a lot of defending on those issues form so.called fiscal cons....

And the financial collapse of 2008 didn't change anything. It had nothing to do with it. Nor did the Republicans losing the Congress. Nor did the disastrous effects of the Obama administrations polices.

You act like things haven't fundamentally changed since 2006--that if the financial collapse had occurred in 2004 and Congress continued to increase the deficit and debt the same conservative sentiment wouldn't have swept the country. Like you are F-ing Miss Cleo with a crystal ball.

sure anything is possible, but odds are the teaparty would have faded had they won the white house.The teaparty is a tool, an reinvention of ones image.

Ah so had we nt bailed out the big banks you think the tea party would still come about? hehe thats amusing.

swept? you havent swept anything. people dont care for the tea party.

The Tea Party is like Quixtar (used to be plain old Amway).

You can change the name, but once people know the truth, you're going to have to try to catch them running.

What ‘disastrous effects’ after only less than three years? Obama’s policies are GWB’s policies (or McCain’s had he won), and finally: one can’t make a disaster out of a disaster.

Do you really think your childishness proves the spurious claims of "TEA Partiers are all RACISTS!!!" is true?

Nah, the TPM isn’t racist – but it is 70 percent republican.

Seems that, unlike what especially many on the right like to say, which is that the Tea Party consists of many Independents and Democrats, that it is in fact, a spin-off of disgruntled Republicans. Which many, espeically on the Left have been saying for the last 3 years.

In fact, Tea Party supporters were for the most part activist Republicans well before both the financial crisis and before Obama’s election. Campbell and Putnam found that Republican affiliation was actually the single strongest predictor of Tea Party support, and that Tea Party supporters were more likely than other people to have lobbied their public officials before.

Today’s Tea Party supporters are disproportionately white social conservatives, who, Campbell and Putnam say, “had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and still do.” And while Tea Party leaders say their main concern is limiting the size of government, Campbell and Putnam found that the cause that really unites rank-and-file Tea Partiers is a desire for more religion in government. Campbell and Putnam argue that their public devotion—not their ideas about taxes—explains the appeal of figures like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Texas governor Rick Perry to the Tea Party.

The difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama is spending four times more than Bush ever did. That's one reason the Tea Party wasn't out in full force then as they are now.

Wise up!

BS!

Spending has ALWAYS, almost exponentially gone up with each new President/Administration/term...nothing new here.
They were practically SILENT during Bush. Moreover, they were the SAME individuals that staunchly SUPPORTED the buffoon.

So that makes it ok?

Damn you're stupid!

The Tea Party People consist of democrats and libertarians as well as republicans. Take your blinders off or take your head out of Obama's ass and wise the fuck up!

When President Obama took office two years ago, the national debt stood at $10.626 trillion. It now stands at $14.071 trillion — a staggering increase of $3.445 trillion in just 735 days (about $5 billion a day).

To put that into perspective, when President George W. Bush took office, our national debt was $5.768 trillion. By the time Bush left office, it had nearly doubled, to $10.626 trillion. So Bush's record on deficit spending was not good at all: During his presidency, the national debt rose by an average of $607 billion a year. How does that compare to Obama? During Obama's presidency to date, the national debt has risen by an average of $1.723 trillion a year — or by a jaw-dropping $1.116 trillion more, per year, than it rose even under Bush.

Bush ran up an average of $410 billion in deficit spending per year, while Obama is running up an average of $1.413 trillion in deficit spending per year — or $1.003 trillion a year more than Bush.

And none of this even takes into account Obamacare, which the Congressional Budget Office says would increase spending by more than $2 trillion in its real first decade (2014 to 2023) — and which, even under very rosy projections, the CBO says would increase the national debt by $341 billion by the end of 2019.

This from the liberal NPR

I never said it's OK. Pay attention. It's to quash you and your ilk's ignorant argument that Obama spent more than anyone before him, as if it was something totally new.

I guarantee you, the next Republican that gets sworn in will spend more than Obama ever did as well.

Wise up!

They don't care anything about the Constitution, as they always claim they do.

Whatever they want and like, they have no problems with. Remember when they were ready to scrap the Constitution to get Ahhnuld to run for President?

These RWers are despicable.

As I see it when the Libs get threaten by anything that is not a liberal base they cry racism!! I am so tired of it. The tea party is not racist. They have a black division of it.Herman Cain and Alan West are both Tea party members.Last time I check they were both black. There are many more black tea party members

No but you pointed to one to justify the orther as if it's ok since it was done once before.

Fact is numbnuts, Obama has spent more than any other president.

That's one guarantee that you cannot guarantee.
