as much as i hate to say it. I do think all of the president |
|
obama bashing is good for the party. we do need our own teabag party. I think it was one of the things that was missing during the healthcare debate, they were the only ones making noise, and we all know the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
so carry on everyone.
you have my approval.
:~)

2. We may disagree in every way possible... |
|
...with the philosophy of the tea party.
However, the fact remains that a faction of their party is upset that their leaders are not doing what they were elected to do.
There is a growing contingent in the Democratic party that feels the same.
There is some commonality, in that these are people who are fed up.
Yes, I can't imagine agreeing with the tea party on most of their issues. However, they're speaking out. That's a good thing in a democracy. Also consider that Karl Rove and the Bush clan are against the tea party and have spoken out against it and many of its leaders.
It's just possible that maybe some sort of uprising will occur in this country and will finally put an end to the corporatism, corruption and hijacking of our democracy. Maybe it's possible that the left and the tea partiers can set aside their differences on social issues and come together to take back our democracy.
Seriously. It's the only way. Our political leaders have all been assimilated and the system cannot help us. We can only help ourselves.
The only way we fix this is by uniting and agreeing that we must take back our democracy and bust up the criminal element that has control of it.

3. You have to give the Teabaggers credit for one thing... |
|
They did stand up to the Repub establishment and won some races. They are being taken more seriously now by party elites.
Flame if you want, but I do not believe we have been as effective.

9. We surely can't continue to sit down and shut up, as the corporatist wing keeps insisting. |

10. funny. how about kick ass!! it's taken me a while to get use to all |
|
the complaining, but it's growing on me. people are just upset and need to see something from the president. he should pass dadt with whatever powers he has and let it sink or swim from there.

12. Progressives are ignored or demonized when we protest or complain loudly. I resent that the Teapers |
|
were lauded by the M$M and have succeeded in dragging this country even farther to the right. Obviously they have the approval of our corporate masters. We will never get that.
