I support alot of views in the actual Tea Party as small as it really is. Those are a vastly different crew from the teabaggers. The teabaggers are that party co-opted by the numbnutses in the 'republican' party. The Tea Party is nearly non-extant, as are it's viewpoints, remembering that the Tea Party and OWS were actually cooperating, and alot alike at their inceptions.

Someone would have come up with it anyway. It's not really such a bad term. Maybe the Tea Party should embrace it and it won't be derogatory anymore.

Jeez, Notsweet, if you're going to do a campaign that involves sending and dumping tea bags, I really don't think you can complain if you end up being called 'teabaggers'. I mean, that campaign really does sound a bit looney.

If George wasn't so bleedin off himself, perhaps the whole across the pond misunderstanding could have been forgiven as a third formers prank, wot?

Notsweet -> RE: For those Americans who work for a living (2/20/2013 8:33:58 PM)
I see. So if someone asks politely not be called a derogatory term, then that's their problem. And divisiveness fixes....what? Or is the point not to fix anything, but to have a common enemy? I wish I could afford that luxury. Wasn't it Mother Jones who said, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem?"

The funny thing about that is that program was created under Reagan and reached its present form under Bush II so it would factually be called a Reagan/Bush phone. It's a shame that some people have so little intelligence that they don't know any better than to spout inacuracies that were promulgated by a youtube video featuring a shrieking and presumably uneducated and ignorant person. I mean, what does the habit of repeatedly spouting ignorance make oneself?

So, it seems as though we have caught the teabaggers with their tongue in Boortzes ass. There ARE no 25 jobs bills. But as usual they besmirch anyone and everyone who possesses the facts and intellect. Typical epic fail for the useless and inept 'conservatives'.

mnottertail -> RE: For those Americans who work for a living (2/21/2013 11:25:44 AM)
Where are the jobs bills, or is someone drinking nutsucker shitwater for lunch?
