According to the very conservative Human Events website...and the American People.....your Tea Party Congress BLOWS.

http://www.humanevents.com/2012/09/1...-a-dismal-low/

They're doing nothing but collecting congressional pay and benefits at your expense. In short, they've duped you with a bunch of pseudo-patriotic hullabaloo.....

How does it feel to had by these so-called "Great American True Patriots"?

Is that a hook in your mouth?

Regards,
Dave

LMAO, dont you just love stat's... My trun to spin... What I see is a direct correlation with the drop in unemployment to the new "Tea party" Congress

Have fun with that boys...
The tea baggers had nothing do with the economic recovery. Name the bills they passed that were singed into law by the President, that brought on this economic rally. You can't because there aren't any.

This is a natural response to an economic disaster. I am not giving credit to anyone. I am just glad this country has enough fortitude to survive.

I will have fun with it BOY.

Your understanding of economics is ...forget it. it is not worth it.

The Tea Party movement, IMHO, has been quite successful. Before the 2010 elections, the Repubs were as complicit as the Dems in the expansion of government. The tea party movement came along and has essentially changed the dynamics of both parties. Do you really think, for example, the we would have the Budget Control Act of 2011 without the Tea Party's influence? Do you think Romney as a candidate would be accentuating fiscal responsibility in his campaign w/o the Tea Party? Or have Paul Ryan as a running mate?

Just remember who made the Tea Party. In part, it was Obama's agenda. But it was also in large part due to years of frustration by the Repub base with their party's performance, culminating with the limp candidacy of John McCain.

The Tea Party movement is still a fledgling movement. They've done quite well in changing the topic of this election and giving the fiscally conservative part of the Repub party a voice.

The tea party is not fiscally conservative. They are economically extreme. If they were actually fiscal conservatives, they would be advocating a more balanced approach to deficit reduction. Fiscal responsibility includes balancing revenues with expenditures. Because the tea party refuses to consider half of that equation, they are not responsible but doctrinaire to the extreme.

Regards,

D-Ray

You're calling that clusterf*ck a success? Why then is the GOP wailing like stuck hogs about the Defense cuts that resulted from this?

You call his tax plan with its built-in mega deficits fiscally responsible? You're even more gullible than I thought.

And whose policies he's running away from on the stump.

Haley Barbour. I think it may have been an effort to create a new source of resentment among the Bubba Wing now that the Southern Stategy has mostly run its course (or maybe not, unfortunately).

You are obviously proud of your membership, whell. Let me pose a question, why are you proud of the Budget Control Act? Why do you think this is necessary? This will more than likely result in another downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S., why do you think this is worth the cost.

It's worth seeing this little gem again to remind us of how the "grass roots" Tea Party was started. The day after this was aired, February 19th, 2009, Tea Party websites sprung up all over the country. Eight days after the broadcast, on February 27th, there were coordinated demonstrations in 40 US cities.

Haley Barbour may have been the "father" but the money came primarily from the Kochs. I guess that makes them the Tea Party's Godfathers.

Now, why would you think a thing like that?!?!

Santelli was nothing more or less than the Koch brothers' errand boy.
