Why can't those on the right form simple arguments without resorting to irrational generalizations and insults? I don't believe teabaggers was the original name used either, but go ahead and call everyone who does a liar. That'll fix the country! How constructive!

Any political movement rooted in anger doesn't stand a chance and is not worthy of support. I will only support movements that expend their energies on forming solutions instead of finding scapegoats, dividing the country up, and making enemies. The proper solution doesn't involve retribution, punishment, or "that'll fix 'em!". Those tactics seem to be the basis for the Tea Party and will serve to form its demise.

Fail. Nice try.

Your kidding, right? Go back and read the post and see who acted according to your assertion about those on the right.

And the rest of your response is only your opinion and is not accurate either.

Correct, except that "tea bagging" is not exclusively a gay sex act. I'm not sure why anyone would think that it is. It only takes one male to perform the act of "tea bagging".

It is very clear you have not went to a Tea Party meeting. Had you went and not listened to looney tunes leftest news, you would know the Tea Party people do have solid, Constitutional answers to the problems this Nation has.
But then why confuse looney leftest ideas that are very much a cause of the problems we face in this Nation with anything remotely based on getting back to the Constitution and government the way it was designed to be instead of the left's socialistic disaster we have today?

I noticed that Data city Forum as a whole is liberal and most of the moderators are also.
Some are even far left and have happy fingers...

This poll confirms what most of us already knew, that CDF has more right wing conservatives then the population in general. Polls show just 20% of the US population supports the tea party movement while the poll here indicates almost 40% support so tea baggers are almost twice as represented here as in the general population.
