Pretty much. Tea party supporters = morons

Well, let me be a little more PC about it....if one happens to be a moron then they are likely going to be in the Tea party. Sort of like if someone is a racist these days they are more than likely a conservative versus a liberal. That doesn't mean all Tea party folks are in that boat...just that the idiots and radicals are, for the most part, in their boat.

Godfather.

yea kind like the dem's blindly following a president that has proven he was unprepared for his current job but that won't last much longer.....then what party will every one go to.

Perhaps. Does the "D" in Democrat stand for "Doesn't believe in anything other than government entitlements?"

By the way, I hear the Guardian makes great toilet paper.

Good point. There is no such thing as a liberal racist, and there never was. I'm sure the Black Panthers would agree.

Anyone notice that the Tea Party defenders... BOTH came up with attack rebuttals on Democrats.
Does that cause anyone to lean towards the opinion that the Tea Party is NOT independent.... rather, Republican?

That's why they're astroturf. A completely artificial product designed to mimic real grass roots

cosmo again stating the obvious...those people are partisan hacks that let people like sarah palin, glenn beck, bachmann and o'donnell hijack their movement.

just look at the quality of candidates that the tea party is supporting. o'dumbel does not even know that separation of church and state is in the first fucking amendment..and look what party those being endorsed claim themselves to be members of...republicans...not one democrat in 138 endorsements...tea partiers are about as independent of the republican party as "joey" was from "friends"...

Godfather.

no offence to anyone I was just getting a good laugh out of all the comments and had to stoak the fire.
all in good fun.

The thing is, if these Tea Party Candidates are elected, they will be easily manipulated when they see how complicaed the office that goes with the seat is. Reality of political life will jump up and bite them in the ass and they will fall into rank and follow the party agenda or risk losing their seat as soon as their term is up. The G.O.P. will makes sure they become un-re-electable if there is dissent and they will do what they are told to do... tow the party line.
If they WERE actual Independents (Libertarian), they could vote as they please.
The Tea Partiers don't realize this and they probably never will.

Honestly, I image every president back to Washington would say the same damn thing. But at least Obama makes up for Bush's complete lack of intellectual curiosity.

Anyone who votes for someone who legitimately believes that the "thing that's ruining your country" is not letting intelligent design be taught in public schools... deserves to be called a moron.

Actually... it's not being coerced to reciting the 'Pledge Of Alligence' every morning. That's what is destroying our country.

I've alwyas found that so weird...
and another weird experience, going to six flags and having to realise that everyone else was standing with their hand over their chest singing the national anthem when the park opened
For 2 canadians a german an aussie and an italian... i think we found that pretty strange...

Rumor is Al Franken is a huge supporter of this Christine OConnell (I don't care what her name is) because then he wouldn't be the most clueless Senator.

Here is something about the Tea Party that I find interesting and confusing at the same time...
The Tea Party portrays itself as the 'People's Voice', right? They relate more to the Joe The Plumber kind of blue collar working stiff, than the elitist rich few that wield so much influence in our political system. Am I wrong here?
...
Why is the Tea Party against Unions and for unregulated Capitalism? Because, they are against unions and for unregulated markets... am I right, here?
...
Well... you know who has a union? Joe the Plumber. The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters have locals all over this country. I thought about this because on the way back from lunch today, I passed by the Long Beach, CA. local. I must have passed that building thousands of time, but, never thought much about it. Plumbers are blue collar, right? I mean, when was the last time you saw a plumber on the job, wearing a coat and tie. For me? NEVER.
You know who doesn't have a union? Douchebag Wall Street hedge fund managers. They got to create the rules by which they operate. Those rules allowed them to create the financial atmosphere that lead to disaster in 2007 and nearly brought this country and the global markets into a depression.
...
So, my question to the Tea Party members on this board...
Why do you support white collared, Wall Streeters and want them to continue to run with our pension funds... our savings accounts... our 401K plans... and make millions for them in unregulated ponzi schemes... but, want to bust the union blue collar people so it will be easier to hire less skilled workers for lower rates or have union jobs shipped overseas to increase the profits for Wall streeters who make bank on the sale of company stocks?
Please, explain that to me because it seems... well, contradictory to me.
