I just have to laugh out loud at some of those;
on the other hand, I also froth at the mouth when I see that half the tea party crowd is either people old enough to be earning social security benefits, or have children with them, which means they qualify for the child tax credit, most probably. But no, no more big government!

And my other gripe is with these folks demonstrating who (at least from their dress) don't earn enough money for most of the tea party platform to even be useful for them. So why are they out there?? Did they drink that much koolaid?

I've rethought my view of government over the past few years. I think that government is here, and exists (or should, at least), to protect the common man from the people, businesses, and in some cases, the government itself, who are taking unfair advantage of that common man I mentioned. I think that the legislature has really gotten a long way away from that in the past 20 years-like, parsecs or light years away!

I know. It really irks me that these folks mostly got tax cuts under Obama, instead of the rich getting them like Republicans always do.

They just drink the crap in instead of opening their eyes!

Did you hear last week that some organization is bending over backwards to get an ad on Fox that says that Fox's parent company paid a big chunk to the Repub. Governors PAC? It might have been the R Congressional; can't remember for sure.

Fox turned their ad down twice, so they revamped it till they couldn't say no.

I love those. I also suggest googling "Obama is a Muslin".

Funny! I'd heard it before but forgotten.
