Tea Party poll.........draw your own conclusions

[Machado]

"A recent poll found that only two percent of Tea Partiers are aware that the president enacted the largest middle-class tax cut in history.
A staggering 44 percent, by contrast, believe that Obama has increased their taxes -- and only 16 percent blame the current economic catastophe on Bush, who ran up record deficits by slashing taxes for the wealthy."

[Ugmo]

Sounds about right. Buncha effing morons.

[TravisBickelsMohawk]

No surprises. They're pissed because the President is black. That's always been their "agenda" from the beginning.

[MasterOfMeatPuppets]

When is paying less tax a tax increase?

I wonder if Jim Jones is brewing the tea at these parties.

[Ugmo]

Letting the Bush tax cuts sunset in January will be the biggest tax increase in U.S. history. So much for that theory.

Well then I would hope the teabaggers approve of that, since they claim to be for fiscal responsibility and those higher taxes are obviously needed to reduce the budget deficit.

I swear, it's like banging my head against a damn wall.

All of a sudden critiquing the guy equates to being racist. Must be nice to pass off any qualms as "you're just a hater."

Imagine if Bush was black. He'd have all you morons claiming everybody else was just hating on his negro dumb ass.

Well, we all know the rednecks hated that nigger Clinton, and using words like "Socialist" about him and his nigger wife were code words for nigger.

Oh please. Every time they get called to list a "legitimate" reason, they fail.

They hate him because he's black. And you fucking know it.

And Dubya's reign hardly produced a bunch of clueless idiots like this who actually think they're a political party now.

Reasons to not like Obama:
Failed to Allow five days of public comment before signing bills.
Went back on his promise on tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials.
Failed to reduce earmarks to 1994 levels.
Did not negotiate health care reform in public sessions televised on C-SPAN.
Appointed an attorney general who represented terrorists at Gitmo.
Appointed 7 lawyers who defended Al Qaeda to Dept of Justice.
Appointed a man who's job it was to oversee the federal reserve bank in New York during the biggest financial crisis in American history (if you believe it was) to head the Treasury Department.
Kept Ben Bernanke on as head of the Fed, even though he was the man in charge of overseeing all banks when the banking crisis hit.
Use tax payer money to fun failing industries (GM and Crysler)
Use Tax Payer money to fund 'stimulus' bill, which has horrible accounting and questionable effectiveness.
Appointed head of Homeland Security who issued orders for HS employees to not use the word TERRORISM.
Promised to eliminate abuses of personal rights due to the PATRIOT Act, yet allows the Act to be renewed.
Promises to outlaw "signing statements" used by Bush to circumvent due process in the legislative process, but continues the practice.
Created a sham "health care forum" to hear from both sides, and to let the public know what both sides favor, and spent more time talking than GOP and DEMS combined.
Favors "Card Check" Legislation.

People Obama's associated with, or tried to appoint to jobs who had ethic challenges:
Van Jones.
Bill Ayers.
Andy Stern.
Tony Rezko.
Jerremiah Wright.
Gregory Craig.
Vivek Kundra.
Adolpho Carrion.
Hilda Solis.
Charles Freeman.
George Mitchell.
Arne Duncan.
WIlliam Lynn

Are any of THOSE reasons racist?

Insert rolly eyes of doom here. They hate him because he's a liberal, his race is irrelevent to the vast majority. Painting everybody who doesn't like Obama or his policies as a racist is idiotic. How many of those "racists" voted for Keyes?

Like it or not there's still a lot of fucking racists in this country. A LOT. Come to progressive Massachusetts and see how much the people in my area like "niggers" and "beaners". The guy has a point. Racism is a sign of low intelligence, and the obvious idiocy of a "tea party" that pays for it's fucking tea is bound to have plenty of people with a Kansas level education. Hate Obama? Join the Tea Party! You don't have to have a good reason, just a big fucking mouth.

[VinnieKulick]

So, ANYBODY who dislike's Obama's policies is automatically racist?

Hyper-tolerance is often a sign of low intelligence as well.

Also, let's not get too excited about mocking the intelligence of tea partiers, community college graduate who can barely put together a coherent thought, let alone understand one.

The delicious irony is that your post is wrought with more bigotry than most of the tea partiers have/show. In fact, bigotry is a pattern with you.

P.S. Since you live in progressive Massachusetts, if you're ever spending time around some of the summer getaway-ish spots like Gloucester, do yourself a favor and head on up to Lawrence. Spend the night there. Walk the streets.

Bullshit. Of course there are still racists in this country. Nobody said their weren't, but your painting anyone who is a tea party supporter as a racist is stupid and uninformed and you damn well know it.

The race card is still WAY overplayed versus how often it actually applies.

And as for a Kansas-level education, if I got a B.A. from a university in Kansas, at least I could transfer credits to another university for my Masters.

Try that with your Full Sail degree, dude. You have no place knocking anyone else's education, you went to Scam U.

There are many Americans who oppose
Obama because he is black!

End of subject!!

There were many blacks who voted for Obama because he's black, so yeah racism is alive and well.

I don't mean that the entire party is racist. I definitely over-generalized on the idiocy and racism factor. The reason I backed the underdog in this discussion is because the organization seems to me, to inordinately attract a large number of uninformed big-mouths who give them this reputation. I'm sure the people running it have legitimate reasons for doing so, and the tea Party at it's core seems like more of a fiscally conservative revolt within the Republican party then a purely anti-Obama organization.

However, I don't wish to completely concede legitimacy to the party, since I'm not sure if I understand exactly what they're about, and I don't think it's racist in substance as much as it may seem on the surface. After all, they're no fans of John McCain either, which has resulted in him posturing as a more fiscally conservative politician than his record bears out. This much I know for sure. I just think that a lot of racists in the country are jumping on it and giving themselves a bullhorn.

Raising taxes while raising spending does not bring down the deficit.

Sunsetting a tax cut is not raising taxes. Fail.





















































Wow. As much fun as it is to use your own ham-fisted tactics against you, I totally feel dumber for having done that.

[KneelandBobDylan]

Sunsetting a tax cut is not raising taxes. Fail.

Same effect. America. Fail.

Well, since the whole conservative agenda right now is to see Obama, and hence America, fail, this should tickle you shitless.

[MasterOfMeatPuppets]

America. Fail.

[Crazy Levi]

Well, since the whole conservative agenda right now is to see Obama, and hence America, fail, this should tickle you shitless.

Actually I want America to prosper. Unfortunately that is no longer possible with the deficit spending that has been done on both sides. Unfortunately Obama has doubled down.

You lie.

The conservative agenda until 2012 is the failure of government and by extension America.

You hate America.

God, have both sides just totally switched positions AND talking points in the last 2 years or so?

[Crazy Levi]

Yup! Sure is strange, isn't it?

I think I mentioned it before, but I totally understand how the right got so addicted to saying that everyone who disagrees with them hates America.

I started it off as a joke, but it's like a fucking drug! I am now completely hooked on it. And it's clearly true! The Repubs want to paralyze our governemnt for their own gain...therefore, they are just like terrorists, and clearly hate America!

Those America-hating motherfuckers.

Sure why not. Lol.
