EFFING CRYBABY UPDATE: GOP undies in a bunch over Biden "Republican Tea Party" remark. CRYBABIES!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Well...GOP and Blue Dog Ben, that is.

:eyes:

After Vice President Joe Biden said the alternative to a Democratically controlled Congress is the "Republican Tea Party," lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have moved to distance themselves from his remarks.

"I can't imagine any elected official making fun of people becoming highly involved in the electoral process," said Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) when asked to comment on Biden's remarks. "I just don't see how that's healthy. And yes, I think people who might criticize people getting highly engaged in the electoral process -- I think that's problematic and I just don't understand why one would perceive criticizing that to be a good thing."

Democrats dealt with the matter a bit more delicately.

"I think there are some fine people who are concerned about the size of the government, concerned about tax structure, concerned about the future," said Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). "And what we ought to do is have a dialogue."

"Accurately analyzing Tea Party supporters can be difficult," said Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.). "So I try to avoid kind of broad generalizations or broad categories. It's always dangerous to generalize."

At a fundraiser for Gov. Ted Strickland in Ohio, Biden linked the GOP to the Tea Party, suggesting Democrats will run against the conservative activists. "Don't compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative," he said, according the pool report. "The Republican Tea Party is the alternative."

Biden's approach reflects a strategy being considered by the White House, according to the New York Times. The White House, however, denies it.

1. Biden's right and we should all be calling it the "Republican Tea Party." n/t

[malaise]

19. Ding ding we have a winner

:hi:

[applegrove]

35. But then they might not split apart and divide the right into two. Then Palin would

not run as the presidential nominee for the Tea Party. I can dream can't I?

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Their outrageous outrage is getting very tiresome.

I wish the media would treat it as the tiresome bullshit that it is.

[WilliamPitt]

3. (facepalm)

4. Et tu Casey?

:banghead:

[Bitwit1234]

5. Good Lord!!!!!!~

The republicans and the tea bags have called Democrats and Obama everything that you can thing of from Nazi, Hitler Fascist, etc etc. And they got to pee and moan about this. I think some one should just start walking up to every republican they see and call them a cry baby. And then say you are worst than a tea bag. And that's all the republicans are. I am so sick of this I am burning up. It is time we fought back. I think real American citizens should flood fox, Rush, Beck and every damn republican and tea bag with letters telling them just that. I wish with all my heart that we could get these damn sit on their ass Democrats out to vote. I wish we could tell them exactly what is going to happen if those children every have a chance to PLAY AT GOVERNMENT AGAIN. Because they can't govern all they do is jump up and down and have to run to the bathroom. Damn am I mad.

28. This is what they do...

talk big shit they can dish out the LIES but they CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!Go Biden! Keep it up!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[socialist_n_TN]

31. Ask them why they hate America too............

They did vote against the defense authorization bill. Well not exactly vote against the bill itself, but it's close enough for Fox Noise, so it's going to be close enough for me.

[Xipe Totec]

6. A tempest in a teapot nt

[Andy823]

7. Well he is right!

The tea party is bought and paid for mostly by the republican party, no matter what they want to claim! If those "crazy" people get into office, the whole process will become worse than it is now, for not only the president, the democrats and the country, but for the republican party itself. How in the world will the republican leaders be able to handle the crazies? They will be off on their own agenda trying to amend the constitution, get rid of anyone who doesn't think like they do, and in general fighting between each other and the rest of the republican party! Nothing at all will get done so Biden is right, the only alternative is the "republican tea party", and that sucks big time!

Joe is trying rally the base, and we really need that!

[opihimoimoi]

8. Fucking GOPer Locker room Trash Talk....They drone on with MOOT Shit

Nothing to help America advance...they are Bullies who wish Control

[K8-EEE]

9. Wow you'd almost think the GOP was EMBARRASSED

OF THE TEABAGGERS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! go joe!!

[Tx4obama]

10. The GOP and The TeaParty are one and the same.

Remember not long ago the TeaParty folks got a candidate knocked all a ballot because they said that he couldn't run as a TeaPartyer because he was a democrat?
The TeaParty does not recognize democrats being in their group!

Everyone needs to holler everyday " The TeaParty IS the GOP ".

CNN has gotten into the habit lately of having one or two republicans, one or two teapartyers, and one or two democrats in their split screen discussions. What is happening is the democrats are getting only 1/3 the airtime to talk and the GOP/TeaParty is getting 2/3.

[flakey_foont]

11. they are some thin-skinned folk, for certain

doesn't take much to upset them.... or get them 'outraged'

what a buncha overly sensitive assholes!

[gratuitous]

12. Bob Corker didn't always feel that way about highly involved people

He's had citizens arrested at his office for being too highly involved in the electoral process. Naturally, those people were dirty fucking hippies who were against an All-American Under God War, but still . . .

[JuniperLea]

13. GOTP!

They are the Grand Old Tea Party... henceforth, and forever, amen!

[bushisanidiot]

27. +1

exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ksecus]

14. Gad , I hate whiny teabaggers

They remind me of spoiled two year olds..

[Arkana]

15. Ben Nelson and Bob Casey are Blue Dog wimps.

Especially Nelson.

[political_Dem]

16. You can't accuse Biden of not mincing his words.

He says what he thinks whether people like it or not. And he hit the nail on the head with this. If the GOP want to embrace these racist, ignorant thugs who can't spell and are uncouth in public, they should stop whining and do it. Dick Armey is on their side, not ours.

Since the GOP continues to crow about responsibility, they should grow a pair, shut up and embrace these loud-mouthed domestic terrorists as their own. They should also handle the consequences of such an alliance as well.

[C_U_L8R]

17. Well it sure isn't the Democratic Tea Party

Maybe its the National Socialist Tea Party

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. He better not apologize, either!!! n/t

[blondeatlast]

20. ReTeaPlicans. Teapublicans. The GOTea.

It's almost too easy!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. Oh man, I LOVE "The GOTea"...

...I'll bet that would make them stamp their little feet the hardest.

:rofl:

:toast:

[AlinPA]

22. Senator Casey just pissed off a lot of PA Democrats. That was an asshole remark.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

23. I've been thinking about conservative crybabies of late

I've been watching CNBC in the morning lately and :rofl: at the scared shitless, whiny, crybabies on Wall Street. To a person, nothing but "Obama hates us! Obama hates business!" :cry: :cry: To their credit, Mark and Erin do a good job of showing that Obama has, in fact, been very good to them.

It's the old, Tell and rile the herd screaming deficits are bad and Democrats are responsible for them, while running up the biggest debts in US history play.

[sendero]

24. "Republican Tea Party" ...

.. is a perfectly accurate term to describe the whole lot. If the shoe fits, wear it.

[Canuckistanian]

25. Ben Nelson thinks there should be dialogue with Teabaggers?

That's funny, he sure doesn't want any dialogue with his Democratic leaders.

[bushisanidiot]

26. I thought the republicons were proud of tea baggers.

they can't have it both ways.

they ARE the tea party.. a bunch of wackos!!

[Politicalboi]

29. And it's true too

When Mini Me got elected the GOP gave her money. Does the GOP give money to the winning Democrat, or Green Party? The Teabaggers should have to hold their own to play. Otherwise, they ARE the GOP. But we already knew that.

[spanone]

30. they cannot pick and choose when to embrace the teabuggers...they are in all the way

[gulliver]

32. Bravo! Maestro!

The "Republican Tea Party" is absolutely perfect. It could brand them for quite a while as the party of the nutbags.

[AtomicKitten]

33. They made their Republican Tea Party bed and now they can lie in it. nt

[seabeyond]

34. i dont get where the outrage is. and make fun of? what, ... the teaparty or repugs...

the teapartiers, are repugs. so repug teaparty. makes sense to me.
