   So much for that whole “the Tea Party movement is not anti-Obama” stuff.

   He comments are like the rhetoric that Hitler used in the 1930s. A sad, angry and mean man.

   “The Teabagger movement will fade eventually. the only question is how long, one month? one year?”

   Depends upon your definition of “fade”. The GOP is going to pick up 6-10 Senate seats in 2010 and 30-40 House seats. Think the teabag movement is going to take some credit for that? Will ruffle some “traditional” Republican/conservative feathers, but the teabaggers won’t step aside from the spotlight. Of course, the Dems will blame it on a) George W. Bush b) general anti-incumbency c) that the Dem Senate didn’t give 40 million Americans free health care with a robust public option and d) ANY reason other than Obama.

    Yes, soooo many of the doors i knocked on and people I spoke with in TN alone in rural areas, where so much more EDUCATED than the one’s who voted for obama. Yes the rural trailer parks elites and the piggly wiggly crowd. LOL who is this guy?

    “Liberals killing America”, “I want my country Back”, “Socialism, Communism, Marxism”, blah blah blah

    There is an opportunity for a Republican of stature to give a smackdown to this nonsense. This is just very irresponsible speech.

    All those people voted for The Republican ticket. Eventhough they live waaaaay below the poverty line. The three g’s of southern politics. Damn your economic standing.

    black community is wasting his time knocking on trailer park doors, they don’t vote. You want to get some votes you knock on diverse communities doors, an adult is usually always home, they vote and they are well informed. Because they want affordable health care and education reform, of course.

    We predicted Obama 15 years ago. The policies. Entitlement expansion on steroids. Because this is what America is now to the people coming here. A notion/reality captured so well by the taxi driver in France who told an American friend of mine, “You are so lucky. Oh, I want to go to America. I’m going. This is my dream. I heard everything is free there.”

    The path to Obama, to no-holds-barred fiscal theft and profligacy, was paved by Republicans.

    After the next election cycle, it’s likely the numbers will be there to keep an Obama in office permanently. Our nation will be in dire financial and security straits by then. But the future leaders, and our nation as a whole, will be captives of these policies and the dependency they have and will have spawned. There will be no digging out at that point of increasingly lopsided demand-supply. By then the revolution of which the Tea Party is but a foreshadow will be far more urgent and nonnegotiable.

    My prediction has been that the center will not hold.

    Ultimately the blame for all of this falls right on the shoulders of the voters. Forget about the fact that in Tennessee alone, nearly half of the eligible voters do not vote. It’s the ones that do vote that are screwing it all up because they treat their politics like a trip to the shopping mall. Whoever can market their product the most successfully is the one that gets the vote.

    Had I made that speech, I would’ve changed just one thing: instead of pointing a solitary finger at voters who might not be able to spell the English word “vote”, I would have gestured with all my middle fingers at, and included all of the voters who were lured to vote for these leftist Democrats by ACORN and other ‘Community Organizers’. Those who rounded up the Obama vote promised their targeted, ‘organized’, voters (let’s call them MOOCHERS, because that’s a perfect descriptor) Other People’s Money.

    The Democrats they voted for and elected (we’ll term them LOOTERS because they definitely wanted to redistribute them some wealth) did win, because America today is mostly soft, weak, and ripe for a fall (remember the words of Benjamin Franklin, “Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”.

    In this case, we saw looters promising money that doesn’t even exist to expectant, hands-out weaklings who only want to suckle the government’s teat. Promise them the money, they will bring the Democrat vote.

    Because of the socialistic nature of Barack Obama (he has said he wants to redistribute wealth, after all), sure, he’s as Tancredo portrayed him. CHANGE, baby; Obama lured millions of people who want something for nothing.

    So, Tancredo, just widen your scope of people responsible for Obama and other dirty socialists to include all the moochers and looters who make up this modern, progressive, leftist Democrat party.

    Um,Serr8d? *Any* tax redistributes wealth, and conservatives do it as well. You don’t think Ronald Reagan “bought off” voters with his tax cuts? You remember what happened to the deficit under Reagan? The defense budget has billions in welfare for GOP connected military contracting firms. I will wait for your rant against mooching looting conservatives, and, if it isn’t forthcoming, you can just live with your hypocrisy.

    Yes, I did oppose Bush 2’s ‘Prescription Drug Program’, thrown out there as a sop to the Left (see how they ignored that proffer, and stayed true to their 8-year course of BOOOOSHITLERCHENYROVE! hatreds?).

    Yes, Reagan challenged the Soviet Empire to a spending duel, ramping up domestic military spending to a degree the Soviets couldn’t match. They folded, if you weren’t around to notice; that end to the Red Bear ended years of a Cold War that had enveloped the West since the late ’40’s. A good thing, the fall of the Soviet Union. Thanks, Ronaldus Magnus!

    So, we’ve spent monies on the defense industry, on our hated-by-the-left-because-we-should-spend-more-on-MOOCHERS! military and the ‘wars’. There again, benefits outweigh the negatives: we WERE a nationwide superpower, we WERE the greatest nation on the planet. Now, with the Obama Apologizing for America tour and the new naval-gazing social program-funding going on by the neo-Socialists, we’ll be lucky to make it to 2020 with our current Republic intact.

    I’d rather fund NASA and the military than the soft, bloated at-home weenies the Left prefers to buy off.

    Attention all Tea Party bashers. The Tea Party-ers are stupid, racist, Fox News lovin’, low information rednecks. ie: The dregs of the country. Laughable and impotent.

    Don’t worry about them. They represent no threat to the current socialist agenda.

    Right?
