Tea Party Republicans


Well, your cousin isn't cut out for leading the Rs, is he?



Those who ARE R party "leaders" will tell you what they believe in: marketplace anarchy, carte blanch for the rich, hating Muslims and people whose skin are browner than theirs, "the ends justify the means," etc. They really do believe "in" a lot of things.



The "smart" ones have law degrees, electrical engineering degrees, etc., and can perform many highly-detailed jobs extremely well and sound lucid when speaking. But when it comes to thinking all the way through a large social problem, understanding all the sweeping scope of variables, considering historic analogues, and arriving at a reasonable, logical conclusion - they are quickly overwhelmed and devolve into slogans, sound bytes, and irrational, scary tantrums.



They all scare the crap out of me. The only thing scarier is the thought that Obama might continue to try to appease them into the foreseeable future. Clinically insane people may make for interesting carnival freak show attractions. But while trying to solve the most imposing problems we've ever faced, they are a totally unnecessary distraction.

TAXATION BY AN INELIGIBLE PRESIDENT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE -- WHO IS HE TO TAKE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF NEW TAXES FROM HARD WORKING AMERICANS?

Wow Ted, that's incredibly lame. You took the time to lean on the caps lock key and type away - and that's the best you have?!?

First of all, kids born to American citizens are American citizens. The time to protest Obama on that is long, long past. So suck it up.

Second, the problem with you folks howling about Obama levying new taxes is that he hasn't done anything yet about taxes for people making under a quarter million a year - EXCEPT LOWER THEM!!! So why should anyone give your opinions a second's thought when they completely fly in the face of basic, simple fact?

I like your phrase about "hard working Americans" because you probably count people making millions a year in that group. All I know is that they have no problems making ends meet unless they are living obscenely lavish lives... and I won't shed a tear for any of them.

Third, there was a president whose election 8 years ago was determined by a monstrous effort to NOT perform a recount in Florida. I'm sure you had no problem with that, though. But now you're going to have a problem with a man who was legitimately elected President. That is nothing short of pathetic. Besides, Congress passes or rejects laws - not the President. You do know that, don't you?
