Thank the Tea Party

It must suck for the GOP leadership when elected officials actually try to live by their campaign promises

The amount the GOP wants to cut is insufficient and not serious. The electorate gave them another chance; it seems they're intent on blowing it.

 

Well at least the stand for small government http://www.examiner.com/la-county-libertarian-in-los-angeles/44-tea-party-caucus-members-voted-to-renew-patriot-act

 

Exactly how much extra bureaucracy did the Patriot Act create?

 

Yes, because Tea Party Members live by their campaign promises.

The Tea Party had $1 Billion in Earmarks last Year

 

They are too focused on women's uteruses and redefining rape and outlawing same sex marriage in DC to worry about trivial things like jobs.

It's a good thing that this Congress doesn't allow earmarks, then.

 

You are confusing those who favor limited government with social conservatives.

 

GLEN BECK! FAUX NEWS! TEA BAGGERS! YARRRRGHH!H

 

my mistake, I thought small government was associated with rights of the people.

 

Thank the Tea Party? Why did they disband? Otherwise there is no reason to thank them.

 

Providing for the common defense is one of the few responsibilities the Federal Government has.

 

Well I do not know enough to say if the patriot act helped/hurt our common defense.

 

Do we have an award for "dumbest post of the year"? If so, I nominate this post.

 

whether you disagree or not, it is a relevant issue.

So yes, they really did want to define what kind of rape was acceptable for abortion. Last time I checked abortions take place in a uterus. So maybe you should back up this time.

 

This is a total attack on all womens' uterus. You're totally right.

 

Again, what do any of these socially conservative issues have to do with lowering the size and scope of government?

 

How can somebody supposedly political be so consistently wrong on their political adversaries?

Tea Party =/ Evangelical Christians/Social Conservatism

I think the Evangelical are ridiculous on trying to impose their morals on the rest of the country via the political process.

 

Stupid bill that has no chance of passing, and likely won't even make it to a floor vote. What is has to do with the Tea Party baffles me, though.

 

I second the nomination for your post!

All in favor say AYE!
