As much as I hate the Tea Party...
...they still didn't cause 8 years of incredible damage to this nation, like Bush and Cheney did.

8. Yes, it is a bad thing.
That kind of thinking got us into this econ mess in the first place. Why do all you fr@@pers keep signing up here? I mean, I know our board looks a lot better and has a lot more intelligent folks here. But I thought repukes like to mingle only with their own kind.

19. Well, asleep for at least for the past five years
seeing that the 'date of birth' is May 2nd, 2005.

Wonder what the trigger was for it to start posting this past week and blow its cover? You'd think it would wait until there was something to really gloat about, but, no, it's all just garden-variety troll droppings - even a couple of digs at vegans because everybody knows all liberals are vegan pantywaists, yunno.

If I lived to be 1,000, I'd never understand these people's thought processes. I guess living in ma's basement - not knowing where your next bag of Cheetos is coming from - takes a toll on the overfed Baby Huey MFers of the 101st Keyboard Kommandos.

21. There's nothing more tragic than the prospect of a day without cheetos...
...for some people. Makes them apply for those socialist disability payments.

10. Oh bullshit.. The Tea Partiers are too fucking busy
making shit up to be really worried about "fiscal conservatism". They donate to Republicans, have you seen the story today about the 1.3 million spent on the GOP AMEX card? Private Jets, luxury hotels, jewelry, sporting goods.

Where are the tea partiers while their "leaders" are pissing away millions? They are busy trying to stop the socialist, commie, muslim, fascist Kenyan born president from... hell I don't know what. From my perspective these idiots should love Obama, Death Squads, offshore drilling, Romney Care, The Patriot Act, no equal rights for gays... hell they ought to be celebrating.

12. Well, to be fair, fiscal conservatism, yelling "N**GER" and "FA**OT" and spitting on black people.
They do those things, yeah, so you're right if you just left those things out.

23. It's not about the net loss or gain
No one is for government deficts. The issue is where the money comes from and what it's spent on. The teabaggers believe that taxing the rich to feed the poor punishes the worthy and rewards the unworthy. They are the mouthpieces of the upper class, fighting taxes they'll never pay at the expense of services they may need.

They are not against government spending because of fiscal responsibility. They're against it because of who pays and who receives.

17. Liberals don't have to paint them as a group with a racist agenda.
They ARE a group with a racist agenda. Have you not seen the gatherings, the signs, what they've done to AA elected officials, or is that just SOP to be expected?

20. No they absolutely do not and you are an idiot for entertaining this notion.
They don't promote anything RESEMBLING "fiscal conservatism". What they are promoting is a time machine trip back to the goddamn 50s.

They are old, white racists who are upset about the fact that a proper (white) Christian man isn't President anymore.

16. And let us NEVER FORGET it!
Seems some people would like us to forget and move on...NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Know why!? BECAUSE I NEVER 'GOT OVER IT' AND NEVER WILL! For as long as I live, I will tell everyone I know how evil Bush and Cheney were and how much damage they did to America and the world at large.

24. My grand dad never got over Hoover nor did he ever recover everything he lost due to
free trade and unregulated free markets that helped cause the depression of the 30's. Funny how tea baggers voted for the same nit wits that have never been fiscally responsible since Teddy R was president. Funny how none of these tea bag types ever said one thing about Nixon, Ford, Raygun and both pile of Bush's. Yet they have plenty to say about Carter, Clinton and Obama when it is time to whine about government power grabs that never happened under these presidents, all power grabs have been under Rebulicon rule as well as the gutting of safety nets and programs that help the middle class.

Look at how the tea bagging nit wits are protesting a tax break to them under Obama, yet when junior was raising their taxes to pay for the millionaire tax cuts, not a peep out of the nit wits with tea bags on their faces. Screw the tea baggers, they are not grass roots, they are not noble americans standing up for injustice and they sure are racists to the core.

29. I lost the best job I will probably ever have to 9/11.
They company went belly up and I lost my job...all the while thinking George and Dick had a hand in 9/11. So for me, it is personal and I STILL WANT ANSWERS.

Did they EVER finish the 9/11 report? I doubt it.

27. They voted the idiots into office to begin with. They are directly responsible
for the 8 years of hell. All the rest of us voted for Gore (and a small # for Nader).

34. How daft, of course they caused it, they voted for Bush Cheney
not once, but twice, because they are Republicans now, then and always. Not only did they create Bush, they also demanded that there be no criticism of him and called all protests 'treason in time of war'. So your empathy with them is misplaced if you ask me. Feel free to frame them as you wish, but I do not agree with you at all.
