Where was the outrage under W when he was spending like a drunken sailor?
(cue the crickets)
Right..there wasnt any.
Dude your school board IS your representative Democracy(aka your voice).
Looks like the LITP is a few PBRs shy of a Klan Rally on this one, it is what it is.
Crooks
PS Are you a homeowner on LI yet?
Ahh the "But but but Bush!". First, I did have a problem with spending under Bush. I also had a problem with his stance on immigration. And some other domestic policies too. Whoops, wrong again (though it seems to be a pretty common stance that lefties keep putting words in my mouth).
Secondly, you are somewhat correct. More like a republic. And since LI is pretty lefty on most issues, the school boards vote the way lefties do: TAX AND SPEND.
Third, can you point to any racism condoned by the people you are speaking about, or do you take that one idiot as representing the whole orchard?

Modern Tea Party racism isn't nearly as obvious as a Klan rally (although there are those elements too). It takes a more insidious, economic form:
Quote:
At the voter level, the Tea Party is a movement that purports to be furious about government spending — only the reality is that the vast majority of its members are former Bush supporters who yawned through two terms of record deficits and spent the past two electoral cycles frothing not about spending but about John Kerry's medals and Barack Obama's Sixties associations. The average Tea Partier is sincerely against government spending — with the exception of the money spent on them.
HUH?! Most of those signs are about Obamas HC bill. Unless you want to call the monkey bits racist I'm not seeing anything overtly racist as a carried sign in my quick look.
And again back to the Bush bits. Look you can either stand on your own comments and support them intelligently or you can try to deflect.

Or he can be a pawn in the left/right bs as usual. I thought we went over this already crooks...is that teh best you can do, using race as leverage? You really have nothing then.. I think you owe an apology to the thousands of minorities in the tea party.

Wow.
Just wow.
Did you move here from Mississippi or something or were you raised by wolves?
I have supported my claims intelligently, you just dont see/like what Im saying...and Im not surprised.
As this relates to LI, all Im saying is where was the Tea Party to thwart those oppressive Big Gubment Job Killing School budgets?
I just see sell outs, racists and posers....and of course Peter King.
Sorry.

You do realize the picture you linked was a parody of the TP and not a pro-TP picture, right. I mean you do have the ability to see that don't you?
As for the monkey bits, are you claiming that those are racist, or not? Please clarify spefically. Since I don't consider 98% of the signs listed under "racist obama signs" to be racist (ie: Hitler, send back to kenya, calling him a commie, etc) I'm thinkin that your once again attacking the 100% for the actions of <1%.

Um yea.
Now hows about more like half guy (damn near spit my coffee out with that 1% comedy).
Anyway back OT you still havent defended the LI Tea Party apathy successfully.
(Otherwise this is a discussion for Natl forums).
Forget the monkeys...you dont get it.This is the last time I will ask you this so pay attention. As it relates to LI, where was the Tea Party to thwart those oppressive Big Gubment Job Killing School budgets?
Especially in Peter Kings district.
(again...Crickets and hold...................insert "Obama is a socialist" or other dittohead drivel aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand some more Crickets)
Peace,
Crooks

I'm all for it trying to decrease school budgets by decreasing the pay/benefit package. Numerous people here espouse that not just Tea Party people. Its the numerous soccer moms and the "ZOMG! You vote down taxes you'll decrease your home value!!!" people. Unfortunately, the majority of the school budget isn't voteable.
