Dear Teabaggers: Poor, sick, and uneducated is no way to go through life.

[Brigid]

The right-wing nutjobs you voted for last November want to privatize Social Security (if they can get away with it). They want to reduce Medicare and our public education system to "coopins" they have given the fancy name of "vouchers."

All three of these are in jeopardy, and this is the future you face in your old age, and an even worse future awaits your kids and grandkids if this keeps up. Take a good hard look at what the Republicans are proposing, and you know it's true. Is this what you really want? If you do, then you're even dumber that I thought you were.

2. exactly. They want to cut Pell grants,so your kid can't go to college.

i live amongst so many who ache because they can not get medical and dental care for themselves and their children,work shit jobs with no benefits,and see their elderly parents barely getting by...and they STILL want to vote republican?I guess I'll never get it.

3. Actually tea party demographics are exactly opposite. White, rich and educated.

"Reading about the NYT poll on the makeup of the Tea Party, the most interesting data (beyond the anti-poor, anti-black sentiment) was that Tea Party members are wealthier and better educated than the general public. (The poll pegged their numbers at eighteen percent of the American public -- primarily Republican, white, male, married and over forty-five.)"

4. Well, then their kids will drop out of the demographic if this continues.

That is for sure. Don't they care about that?

7. If we keep on shooting ourselves in the foot with our trade policies only the people

who benefit from worldwide labor will have money.

5. That doesn't suprise me. Lots of "educated" Libertarian assholes out there.

6. I didn't vote for them, so could you PLEASE include me OUT?

Thank you.

Maybe you got to the wrong place by mistake or something?

8. If you are poor, it's because you have fallen out of Gawd's favor through sin.

If you are sick, ditto. And the only education anyone needs is enough reading skills to be able to read the bible.
