Wait....what?!? Is this an alternate universe?...



Our Beliefs

We manned up and realised that the problem is that the recession began during the previous administration. And while it certainly worsened for the first year of Obama’s term, there are now signs that the economy is slowly improving. Unemployment is reducing and we are more secure not that bin Laden is no longer walking the earth.

We’re tired of getting criticised for not having a plan to back up our boisterous protests, we’re tired of being called racists, we’re tired of being called nutjobs.

So we looked at the situation with clear heads and realised that barring any true, qualified leader on the right, Obama is the only choice for 2012.

Is this a joke? This is the first time I'm seeing this. Has anyone else seen this? My head is going to explode...this doesn't compute.

Amy Kremer is a true Southern belle. She can be often heard to say, “I do declare” with a little sweet little giggle at the end. Although prone to faint upon hearing news about the dreadful Yankees, she is strong willed and by the looks of her dainty, generous proportions, has never gone hungry again.

Born and raised in Atlanta after the great fire she was among women allowed to attend Auburn University. (such a snob) Amy believes like all of us that despite billionaire support, she is part of a grassroots movement.

It looks like a parody to me. But I hope it gets publicity!

And some bullet-proof windows...

and they became objective (big stretch there) they'd actually come to the conclusion they've been played by the GOP all this time and they would switch to Obama.

That said, this has to be a parody.

6. The Tea Party
Thu Apr 19, 2012, 04:18 PM
Apr 2012

Initially was a loose conglomeration of varying interests opposed to the current government for various reasons.
It was much like the OWS until it got co-opted by the religious wing-nuts and the GOP. In doing so, it gained popularity and the initial message was lost, particularly when Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin got in the take.

There was much overlap between the two groups in regards to issues at least at their inception.

In a conversation in NPR with purported leaders of the Tea Party, I believe it was Amy Kremer who(I may be wrong) at the start mentioned that it should have no religious context, although one of the other speakers was adamant about it.

So, I think if this is true and not a parody, I'm glad to hear it.

Kremer and her ilk are all about the money and writing books full of lies.

This is another ploy to infiltrate the Dems with some more fake Dems.

Lying bastards we are watching you and you aren't fooling anyone...More to come.

I don't know enough about this and I can not verify that it was Amy Kremer who I heard on NPR years back, so I am going by faulty memory.

Ah, a shame...
This quote from the site:

"FLASH: 20% of republicans are leaning towards Obama. According to WND.com a recent poll conducted with Wenzel Strategies In every case except the match-up against Ron Paul, more than 20 percent of Republican voters said they are more likely to support Obama than the Republican challenger. And Ron Paul is close, as 19 percent of Republicans said they are more likely to support Obama than Paul."

Makes me disbelieve this site completely.

I'm going to research this woman. On one of the pages it says she might be on Hannity, that's a red flag as far as I'm concerned.

I think you may be right about them trying to infiltrate the Dems.

she is always on CNN and throwing teabagger rallies her wardrobe has gotten a little better since the Koch brothers have been paying her.

There is no way that she is for Obama she has thrown so much hate at the Obama's right along with Dana Loesch,Ann Coulter and the rest.

Yesterday,she was a co-host on the panel with Soledad O'brien and some other republiCONS.

I have been watching her every since her and the other TEABAGGERS began,they throw her ass out there every time the polls show things aren't going their way.

She is hearing something from the other Teabaggers who now know what Paul Ryan,Eric Cantor have in store for them.

corporatist Obama. The klown kar survivor(s) is a bit... Hmm, too... deranged, even for them. Never fear, they are still going to vote repug on the rest of the ticket though.

Why isn't this a heads up for main stream Democrats? Or is it? This is good campaign fodder.
I wouldn't trust them as far as I could pick up and through that bus.

Edited to add, it looks like they are thawing a turkey on the dash.

after reading the website I think this may be the anti Mormon wing of the republican party. I've heard some of them say if they have to have a Democrat might as well be a real one. They really don't like Rmoney.

Who Knows?

But Democrats should never join them because one thing for sure is they are right wingers.

As in, if you give them money, Democrats won't get it. It's classic dirty politics in the USA, and not new at all. We are supposed to be sucked in by how "reasonable" they are.
