The Tea-bagger Convention

[Nbadan]

I wonder on what day the cross burning is on?





The opening speaker at the first National Tea Party Convention called President Obama a "committed Socialist ideologue" who was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote."

"You have launched the counter-revolution," the speaker, former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), told 600 or so delegates of the grassroots movement assembled at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville Wednesday night. "It is our nation.

Tancredo also insisted on using Obama's middle name, Hussein, and said he was thankful Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona lost the 2008 presidential election because Obama has mobilized an uprising.

"People who could not even spell the word 'vote' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House," he said.

Tancredo, a failed 2008 presidential candidate, made his reputation as a rabid foe of illegal immigrants. The literacy tests he pined for were once used in the South to keep blacks from voting.

The Tea Bagger convention is a "FOR PROFIT" event... as in the money is not going to a campaign but to the organizer's pocket books. Shows how stupid and gullible the people who go are.

[SouthernFried]

Tea baggers...even with the left having super majority's in the house and senate, these tea baggers were able to bring the lefts agenda to a standstill.

How cool is that?

[Nbadan]

You really think there are that many tea-baggers in Massachusetts?

[SouthernFried]

Oh, I don't think there are that many tea baggers anywhere. Not formally.

But I think there's a very lot of people who identify with them.

I'm not formally a tea bagger I guess. Never been to one of their functions. But I identify with them. Methinks there's a lot more like me, that identify and support what they are doing...than actually show up to events. A lot more. Don't think this is being lost on the powers that be either.

Even in Massachusetts.

[Nbadan]

I see the tea-baggers as being used by Republicans, just like the Progressives were used by the Obama administration...neither will get the populist change they really want in Washington because in this political mecca, money reigns supreme...the tea-baggers have a ways to go before they can have a real effect on a national level, though...there are pockets, especially in the south, but Brown won because liberals in Massachusetts refused to hold their nose and support a candidate who ran a poor campaign...the tea-baggers can have an effect on these types of special elections because they can dump a lot money into one, two or three campaigns, but having that same effect in a general election could be much more daunting unless they get much deeper pockets..

Actually, that was Joe Lieberman.

[ChumpDumper]

Joe Lieberman is a teabagger!

[Winehole23]

I'm ok with English being America's offical language.

[Winehole23]

It already is.

[boutons_deux]

Are there any slants, wetbacks, or niggas on the teabagger speakers list?

[Winehole23]

The racist left wants to know.

[boutons_deux]

I'm looking forward to teabaggers POLICY proposals, actually HOW TO GOVERN according to teabagger ANGER.

Or do they intend to cancel govt completely and hand over the US military as a division of the oil industry?

[Winehole23]

Once I call you on your request for the racial breakdown of the list of speakers, you get all abstract. I see how you are now.

Why don't you answer your own questions and tell us what's really on your mind, b_d? I thought the business you mentioned was already accompliished.


Cancel govt completely.


Hand over to military proxy of extraction enterprise.

[Winehole23]

Wasn't Iraq supposed to be your QED?

[Winehole23]

Heeheeheehawhawhaw.

My question was my answer about teabagger membership. Obviously went way over your and other "heads" here.

Still waiting for teabaggers' policy proposals. Anybody?

Being a pissed-off, ignorant loser, or "morans" as they spell it, isn't a national policy.

At the end of the day, that's what happened.

And naturally the left wing response is to smear political opponents as racist, ignorant, and provincial. Yawn.

Racist much?

Broadly speaking: fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, less government, states' rights and national security. If I remember right from one of the articles I read this week, one of the goals of the convention is to enumerate the above in actionable specifics.

Not that you care though, they don't support unbridled socialism so you're going to hate whatever they have to say.

[boutons_deux]

Not a very original program.

Need to see the actual proposed legislation and concrete policies.

If they ever get any teabaggers elected, the teabagger Congressperson(s) won't accomplish anything unless it already aligns with what the corporations and capitalists want, which means the teabagger Congressperson would be superfluous.

I bet they will enjoy masturbating themselves, politics as entertaining self-abuse. :)

People who are angry without focus are easy to manipulate. Exhibit A: their darling is Sarah Palin. She's been doing NOTHING but running around to get mainstream GOP backing. Mainstream GOP has spent us into the poor house over an 8 year period, yet the Teabaggers lover her ass.

My motto has always been don't listen to what people say, watch what they do. If the Teabaggers were true to what they believed, they'd be trashing both the (D)s AND the (R)s. There's a built in party for them already, the Libertarians, but they insist on getting into bed with the equally free-spending Republicans. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

There was a poll shown on Special Report last night that showed people at the convention had a disapproving view of both parties. The difference is the repubs have acknowledged the existence of the tea partie members. I also don't see anyone being able to centralize the tea party people into one cause or person.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, the Tea Party bashes the GOP more than some think.

[Wild Cobra]

I wonder on what day the cross burning is on?

You are so fucking stupid not to know what they stand for.

[Winehole23]

People outside the system stand for all different things.

[Winehole23]

For good and for ill.

[Winehole23]

The stereotype is inaccurate for the whole, but it holds true for elements of the whole.
