No, it isn't. I think the proof is everywhere.

how the hell is mandating that you can not get dropped by your insurance if you get cancer or aids, mandating that you can keep your kids on your insurance until age 26, mandating that you can not be disqualified for a pre-existing condition, or giving health insurance to an exta 30 million people a government entitlement program?
it is not.
entitlement programs are social security, medicare, medicaid, welfare, wic for young single mothers, pensions for our soldiers, etc that are paid for by our tax dollars to take care of those that can not take care of themselves. how is this new law an entitlement program?? how? if it were "medicare for all" you can make that debate, but it is not. it is far from that, so you can't argue that.

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?
Chomping at the bit, weren't you?
I'll speak out against whomever I feel the threat is to the country. I don't see a bigger one than the Demoncrats. You can laugh all you want, but the Tea Party will be picking up key seats next week and there is nothing you can do to change that.
...
No... just making an observation.
And what you are saying is that Democrats are the greatest threat to the country, not the partisan divide that fragments us and gets nothing done, right? That's cool... I just don't see it that way.
My point is... the Tea Party is NOT Independent... it is Republican. When you speak of the Tea Party picking up seats, the fact is they will be Republicans picking up seats... not Independents, right? The basis of my point is that you are a Republican, whether you say so or not.

The simple fact that the Tea Party emerged AFTER 1/20/09 shows that they are Republicans. Where were they when Bush was spending like a cowboy at a whiskey bar - on other countries, on 2 wars - while lowering taxes? I guess low taxes are more important to the Tea Party than American kids getting sent to the desert to die for oil and corporate interests, such as Halliburton. How can we ignore that the VP, and most likely the most powerful individual in the country from 2001-2009 made a huge profit from the death of 5,000+ Americans and countless innocent Iraqis/Afghans?
Seriously, the Tea Party magically appears after Obama is inaugurated? You have to be kidding me. By the way, the Democrats are the biggest threat to the country? If it was up to Obama and many Democrats - despite the vote in favor of invading Iraq in a post-9/11 haze - we would have never been in Iraq/Afghan and 5000+ families wouldn't have lost sons, husbands, wives, daughter, brothers, and sisters.
And let me ask you this Electric Delta and any others that feel as he/she/it does: What was the reason that the Army or Marines gave you when they denied you the chance to enlist and go fight? Obviously, since you seem to support the Right and therefore the war, you would never, ever support other Americans dying if you didn't have the balls to go fight yourself. Nothing makes me more sick than people who are capable to fight in a war they support and don't, but instead choose to sit on their asses in the lap of luxury while others are murdered. And yes, it is murder. This is not a war, this is an invasion - Bush and Cheney are murderers. And before you give me this bull shit about Obama sending 30,000+ to Afghanistan, let it be known that I am not in support of that decision, nor do I blindly follow - like a retarded lemming - either of these 2 parties.
Let's all wake the fuck up and have some perspective.
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.
That was creepy to me too. 7 years old and "pledging allegiance"?
My boss who is British was transferred to the US and his kids are doing the pledge of allegiance and they aren't even citizens. Its pissing him off.

There are a lot of people campaigning to have the National anthem changed. One that has been suggested is Jerusalem, which I quite like, as it's William Blake's words coupled with a pretty inoffensive tune.

Person A: "The president's middle name makes him sound like a terrorist and I think he's a Muslim from Kenya. Even though I have no actual real evidence to support my claims, I swear he was not born in America and I'm fairly certain he was educated at a radical Muslim school. To underscore my point, I'm going to hold up a sign portraying him as an African witch doctor."
Person B: "I don't remember any other president ever facing this much scrutiny over his birthplace and ethnic heritage."
Person A: "There you go, playing the race card again!"
And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

Here is something else that confuses me about the Tea Party agenda...
They seem to be really big of Jesus and Christianity and prayers and all that stuff... and seem to care more about THEIR money than the well being of others.
Isn't that sort of contradictory of Christ's teachings? Somehow, i just cannot picture Jesus wearing a shirt made from a flag, holding a sign that says 'No pubic option for freeloaders'. Didn't Jesus HELP the 'freeloaders' of His time? I always though He spent most of His time amongst the poor and downtrodden, instead of kicking them as He passed?
Maybe, i'm just reading the wrong version of the Bible... but, I'm pretty sure, Jesus would be labled a 'Libtard Democrat' by the Tea Party, in general. And probably a 'terrorist.'.. you know... coming from the Middle East and all.
...
Can someone please, clue me in?

The Bible is only interpreted out of convenience - when it is convenient to do so to support MY opinions/beliefs. This is true for political beliefs as well. We live in a society where beliefs trump facts, e.g. intelligent design.
The Tea Party has no credibility whatsoever and is a passing fad that will ultimately fail - like Cavariccis, shorts on top of sweatpants, and religion.

He was completely into helping people out, but his government didn't force him to...and I am all for the separation of church and state.
The people who don't help others out, and love their neighbor as they would their family will have to rectify that with their god...but simply giving something to someone else isn't necessarily showing them love.

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.
White collar doesn't just mean wall street.
Social security is an unregulated ponzi scheme.
Unions do some good, but far more harm. Unions are behind the collapse of the US auto industry.

Isn't that sort of contradictory of Christ's teachings?
1) You can't save everyone. You can't bring the entire world up to our standard of living.
2) The government shouldn't decide who gets my money as charity, I should decide. First and foremost we have to take care of our own families. If the government redistributes our wealth, we have none left to be charitable with.
The simple fact that the Tea Party emerged AFTER 1/20/09 shows that they are Republicans. Where were they when Bush was spending like a cowboy at a whiskey bar - on other countries, on 2 wars - while lowering taxes?
Congress controls the purse strings, and while Bush wasn't perfect, spending really got out of control from 2006 -2008 when Senator Obama and the Democrats took over. Not one dime can be spent from the federal Treasury without the approval of Congress.
