Just a few articles on the Tea Party from today:
The Decidedly Unconservative Nature of the Tea Party Establishment
Fox News Surveys and the Tea Party Movement
Tea Party’s Carl Paladino Within a Few Points of Andrew Cuomo in N.Y. Gov Race
Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell: Tea Party’s conservative darlings look, dress and talk alike
This thread needs to be de-douched!
Those gals are cute, but I don’t think they’re dirty. Pass.
#4 They would if I had my finger in their butt.
(read in an Austin Powers voice)
Oh they’re dirty alright.
O’D became bornagain only after having lots of sex at university!
Palin says she can’t divorce her husband because he’s so hot!
Yes, they’re very dirty. Yea baby.
Since they have been completely taken over by (R)etards, nope. I don’t vote for (R)etards or (D)ipshits.
I am so happy Alfred has come back to this board. (I assume is the same as Alfred1 of before.)
He perfectly represents modern conservatism.
His “our babes are hotter than theirs” is precisely the appeal of this new breed of female conservative candidates. I have no doubt this was the main consideration for McCain picking her.

>> the alternative to O’Donnell is self proclaimed Marxist so she is the best choice in that race.
You need to step away from the right wing media.
Palin has an IQ of 83 and is a bit cross-eyed. Her glasses mostly hide the latter, but when she speaks nothing can hide the former.
#44 – Paylin’s husband is hot!?
Are you shitting me? He looks like a mega-tard.
Monty_Python has advice for tea party voters in there early TV work
“Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t think any of our contestants tonight succeeded in encapsulating the intricacies of Proust’s masterwork. So, I’m going to give the award to the girl with the biggest tits.”
hey guys imagine Alfred’s answers to the Proust Questionnaire
#36 bobbo – I appreciate the more measured response this time. I’ll focus on the salient points
“Ron Paul? He lies. He’s more than happy to hire more policemen to jail women seeking abortions and what not” – I have not heard an interview he’s engaged in, nor a piece of legislation he’s supported, to confirm this. I don’t doubt he has his personal opinions on abortion, but even his most animated critic would be hard pressed to find a more provocative statement than that he supports the rights of states to decide the issue.
“Return all these functions to the states for their more corrupt/secretive manipulation of these programs? That is the history of why the Feds needed to step in. Remember why the fence was built before you tear it down.” – Devolving powers to the states allows rational people to judge whether one state’s policy is better or worse than another’s. If CA legalized pot and everyone realized that nothing more than a decrease in prison population and gang murders resulted, it might spread to other states. Instead, Eric Holder gets to tell us all how evil the weed is.
“Politics is about compromise. Being an irrelevant extremist is what you argue for which is why our government is broken. YOU are the problem, or one of the big ones. It is a multi-faceted fubar.” – A bit below the belt, but if I’m so irrelevant, why the long reply? Politics is about compromise because instead of arguing from principles politicians argue based on how many lobbying dollars they can expect based on our position.
“We the electorate keep doing it until candidates start to perform pursuant to the express desires of the electorate: secure borders, transparency, no revolving door between politics and lobbyists, bring out troops home, get an energy policy etc.” – Funny that we seem to be at odds when our objectives are similar.
“Sorry if I’m trying too hard to elevate the conversation. /// You’re safe. I don’t detect too much effort.” – Aww, you’re a peach.
#46 Satire, Just having fun with you loons, turning your usual comments against you:
His “our babes are hotter than theirs” is precisely the appeal of this new breed of female conservative candidates. I have no doubt this was the main consideration for McCain picking her.
There are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen—and people like you, who wonder what happened.
But you do look happy:

Lets talk again after your brain transplant.
These women represent common sense solutions to the countries problems.
For example, Harvard economic dream team can’t fathom how to reduce the deficit…the more they spend, the more entitlements they create, apprently the greater the budget deficit.
“Who woulda thunk it?” they ask
President Obama suspects the Tea Party folks have the answer, so he asks we show him what to do.
These two women reply, “roll back the spending to levels we can afford, spending no more than our income.”
It requires real life experience to arrive at such elegant solutions to the budget deficit…the ivory towers of elitism simply never see things from a common sense perspective.
So these ladies have my vote, they clearly understand “just say no to over spending.”
What always comes to mind with American politicians is the famous Richard Nixon caption next to an unshaven trickie dickie – “Would you buy a used car from this man”
After all the bailouts and endemic corruption the question might be – would you let this fellow even near never mind drive your car ?
#54 No, if one is sane. President Obama signaled his doctrinaire approach to life, twice. 1) when he refused to acknowledge the surge worked in Iraq, long after it was evident to all it did; 2)would raise the capital gains tax even though history proved lowering it resulted in more revenue
http://independentbloghorn.com/2010/08/capital-gains-obama-fairness-and-revenue/
There is an alternate theory why President Obama acts contrary to fact, to hurt the economy. It is said he is purposely crashing the system, so that the crisis would allow a radical restructuring.
Either way we gotta vote his collaborators out in November.
Not for ourselves, but for our children and their children.
Yes if they offered one. Candidates are Cadidates. As of today I do not have much choice in candidates.
#51–Goldbug, lover of shiny objects==I’ve never understood the appeal of measured responses. Hide more than you might realize? Worst lies are always covered in honey.
On “facts” I use, incorrect more than I would like, but never “on purpose.” I think I saw him say just that on some talk show. States Rights is of course just a dodge in most cases. Especially in the case of abortion rights as that one is a constitutional right not to be adjudicated State by State. On the right to abortion, I think I saw his website say he was against them. I thought that was odd for a physician. Apparently you don’t know him much better than I do. totally captured by his bumpersticker for the “return” to the gold standard? Single issue voter?
Your position on Federalism is ass-backwards. States do not have devolved powers, it the Fed that are supposed to be enumerated and limited with the reserve to the States. Thats the theory/constitution anyways but power corrupts by wanting more and the march towards centralization is going on apace. Keep your guns oiled and polished, even though your rights will be taken at the point of a software program.
Being a noncompromising theocrat is being irrelevant in a political system. My response is meant to satisfy “me” not you. Are you that self centered not to think everyone here is just like you?
We could well have many of the same objectives until they are more finely defined? Still valid arguments on how to best/actually achieve those goals. For myself, if a route will actually achieve those goals, I might offer a quibble for conversation sake==but too often, the route selected is expressly done to foil the policy end. Using hypotheticals to tease out this perfidy is a favorite of mine but not engaged in by most. Thinking is hard especially when the results show one to be in error?
Of all the fruits, I prefer apples.
#13 Benji and others – The sample ballot here in Nevada shows Scott Ashjian as a Tea Party candidate for U.S. Senate so they must be a legitimate, recognized party. Sharron Angle is actually listed as republican although most teabaggers here (including an idiot co-worker) think she’s the Teatard candidate.
You = fact fail again.
There needs to be a new party for people who are fiscally conservative yet socially liberal. Or as me grandpappy used to say: “Do whatever the fuck you want as long as you are willing to pay for it.”
I would….NOT. I don’t think many of the tea bag members know their ass from page six.
I also don’t think the people fronting the tea bag movement really have a clue about anything other than self promotion and personal gain.
There is a benefit to the bag movement, however – it is a divisive force within the Republican party, and it will definitely weaken its ability to make much progress on the political front. And I use the word “progress” in the most generic way possible.
