Oh yeah... more Tea-bagger/ Ron Paul supporters: PN, a certified paranoid John-Birch-style right-wing schizo, and Dreamtrove, who isn't far behind.

"Wulf, why would you want to break unions? They're not gummint."
Let me ask you, what good do teachers unions do?

Me, I just find it funny that their initials are TP and they gave themselves the name Tea-Baggers. I couldn't make up anything stupider or more ridiculous.
As for their economic antics, I really, really hope they get everything they want. Yep. That should do them (in) just fine.
And I noticed Rap never really DID say what he's doing with his investments. 'Cause he really, really doesn't want us to know. (hint: shorting the market)

Umm, nor WILL I say, least of all, to you.
Obviously, you're not a 'dude'. 2 things you never concern yourself with, is another guy's $ and his swinging cod.

Well, I should have known this would turn personal (not to me, I don't care, but few are actually talking about the Tea Party). C'est la vie. Okay, by the numbers:
PN, Kane can't be anybody's operative. NOBODY is stupid enough to pay him to do anything, and if someone is paying him, boy, did they get a rotten deal. He's totally ineffective, as is Raptor. And neither has any "jedi mind tricks", they're so transparent it's obvious mind tricks work on THEM!Quote:
KPO, MY concern is they'll screw the rest of us so apocalyptically we won't recover before they do.
If it ever got into power it would screw up things so apocalyptically it would discredit itself foreverQuote:
No worries. They're on a roll right now (even if some are waking up); they don't HAVE a moderate, nor are they likely to get one until they're trounced.
My concern is that the movement implodes too soon, and that a decent moderate Republican runs against Obama in 2012
Kiki, I don't give a damn what he does with his investments. He'll be screwed right along with the rest of us if things continue as they are, especially if we don't get this debt-ceiling thing sorted. There are so many ways it can/will impact us ALL, he'll get his.
Yes, Mike, I get a giggle every time he goes after California. It's just jealousy; he WISHES he lived somewhere decent like out here; we're tickled pink he DOESN'T.
Wulf, no, I'm not upset about entitlements. I'm willing to compromise; there are myriad things we could fix and save money. I'm pissed off that their idea of "compromise" is "everything we want", and the idiocy of cutting social programs while the "job creators" (which they aren't) are rolling in their millions, laughing their heads off at the rest of us. Best government money can buy indeed!
Sig, thank you. I hadn't thought about how the sheer stupidity represented here by the right-wing extremists is representative of the rest of the right-wing idiots. I should have; there's certainly enough of them out there! That's a valid perspective, and an indication of just how long the Tea Party will last.
I don't think the world is going to fall apart. But I do think the repercussions (especially if our credit rating is downgraded) would be pretty awful, and it WOULD impact all of us in one way or another. Just thinking about all the ways we'd all suffer (the right-wingers right along with us) makes me ill.
While I fear the debt ceiling not being raised, in some alternate universe I would ADORE for it not to be; they've wheedled the best deal they've EVER gotten right now, if they don't take it, the GOP will be kicking themselves for years. Now THAT I would like to see!
Rage on, folks, we'll all know soon enough. And the Tea Party is doomed; every single extremist outgrowth of every party has caused its own demise with its stupidity and unwillingness to compromise. They're no different. I just worry about how much damage they'll do to American before they DO.

If the TP brings the economy down and all the rest of us with it, there's not much we're going to be able to do - except make damn sure the blame gets pinned where it belongs and that the lessons are learned for a good, long time.

Niki you seem to be painting with rather broad strokes lately. If you mean to run off reasonable conservatives and enrage those more stubborn or gullible into an unbalanced 'blamestorming' session, I think it is working.

There seems to be quite a shortage of "reasonable" conservatives around these days. It's a bit of an oxymoron, especially among the tea parties.
Maybe you should try speaking to your conservative cohorts. If you can get them to stop hurling invective for a moment or two, that is. Good luck with that.
