There are 150+ Tea Parties being organized across the country by "Patriots" not happy with Obama and his policies. Got to love it.
Just saw a news show (not on FOX btw) with a "Patriot" in colonial dress explaining the movement across the country and how it is growing. -------------

It does seem to reek of sour grapes a lot. The silly conservative backlash to Obama taking the presidency seems to not only be lasting longer than I would have expected, but is growing nastier. The owner of Free Republic had to post a few weeks ago telling his forum members to stop threatening the president on his Web site, but did it in a very wink-wink-nudge-nudge way. I recall the term "keep your powder dry," was used. It goes to show frightening way the far-conservative mind works, that during the Bush years, if you disagree with the president during a time of war you are not really a patriot, but now that Obama is in office, underhanded threats of violence and assassination of the President of the United States are completely cool. |

Whale agreed. To all those who claim there were as many anti-Bush threads when he got elected, I'd like to disagree. I mean, we get it, you hate democrats, but can we please cut down on the Obama/Pelosi/Failout threads?

To be fair, most people were whining the most at the END of the last administration, not at the start. |

Actually, you guys are being ignorant. The tea parties are about the massive spending spree that the government is on. Republicans and democrats are responsible. Not just pelosi and reed and obama... Bush had his place to with the fist "failout"...
There were over 4,000 people at ours yesterday in the nati.

lol @ dems laughing @ republicans. Also to whoever said that whining was only at last of bush admin - um, what about after Al Gore lost fair and square and all the dems were protesting in washington. Then after the invasion of Iraq when the dems wouldn't sthu about no WMD's. THEN when we obviously won the war in Iraq the dems refuse to admit we won, and whine about "failed policies" when it was the senate/house passing all of them. |

After 8 years of we hate Bush and this is why from the locals, fair play. If anyone remmembers the great debates before both the elections about Gore, and Kerry between myself and a few other vs the Smitty's and crew. Then the "sour grape" postings for months after they both lost. Political rancor is fun. It just seems strange that the more his feet get put to the fire, the more defensive the Obamacrats get. To agree to disagree is the American way, so far. -------------

Another great misinformation campaign twisted and spun. The Ship's mission was accomplished and she was rotating home. But the media needed to spin it as Bush stating the Iraq mission was accomplished. And the millions that believed explination 2 based on the media never clearifying the two continues to this day. -------------

I think they should all send me the tea instead of throwing it away. But hey, at least they're stimulating the economy with the purchasing of all this tea.

I for one love these posts, because I'm too stupid to figure out these things for myself, thanks OS and FE. I just wish you weren't so alone being that you are the only people on planet earth that can see the truth, hopefully after a few hundred more of these posts more people will see things your way and you will have some company.

If far-left liberals were allowed to be childish for the last 4 - 8 years, I suppose the far-right conservatives are allowed their time. This whole thing is stupid. There was almost no class in disagreeing with Bush and there's almost no class in the disagreements now. All both sides are doing is swapping which side is regurgitating which stupid line. Please stop it. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

I can understand protesting the failout and some of obama's tax policies(taxing health insurance as income which he slammed McCain for) but this childish name calling, people rooting for assassination, and racist bull needs to stop. Bush was protested the entire time he was in office, his innogural motorcade got egged. If you don't remember that you have a selective memory. The tendancy to group people's entire political beleifs based on their opinion of a candidate or a policy is ridiculous. There's plenty of overlap if you go issue by issue. Times suck right now, any administration would be getting crap. Liberals need to stop getting their panties in a bunch over an resistance to policy/nominations etc. and calling their opponents mentally ill, and conservatives need to think of some actual alternatives besides complaining. The political discourse in this forum is seldom any more than insults and people trying to portray themselves as whitty. I seldom ever see any of the big hitters on these forums even attempt to respond. Unfortunatly this mirrors the national debate which has come down to fat jokes directed at rush limbaugh and fried chicken and watrermellon jokes aimed at obama. |

Not to get all historical and all, but my recollection from school is that the "tea party" bidness back in the day was not about taxes or any other policy concerns, but about that whole "not having a vote" thing.
I am pretty sure most adults had their chance last fall, and I am also pretty sure that most adults are in fact represented in Congress. So these faux tea parties are really making me roll my eyes. Go nuts - complain about politics. Heck, coattail on historical events if you want. Just get those historical events right. ------------- "E Pluribus Unum" does not mean "Every man for himself".

Well, I think the upset is that the conservatives of this nation feel that they've lost their representation in congress (our own fault to some extent) so both halves are right!   ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
