never mind that Tea Party said :
NO to Single Payer
NO to Public Option
NO to current law that protects more Americans more than ever before

How so?... by colluding with the big banks to foreclose on every middle class property possible?...

Let's stick to the topic, ok, the fact that the REPUBLICAN PARTY agenda, platform, policies and ideaology care nothing for the average American working person, period (regardless of who the GOP/Tea Party candidate is!)
again. hogwash. the republicans want to get people off of welfare, the democrats would rather keep them on welfare. the republicans want everyone to succeed as best they can, the democrats want to take care of, and control, everyone from cradle to grave.

really? how about you talk to a small business owner then and see what they have to say about the tax cuts. most of them will tell you that they are good for the economy, even for the rich, because they keep money in the hands on the people, and the businesses that create the jobs we need. the reason businesses are holding on to their money right now is because they have no idea what the new health care law is going to cost them, and they dont know if their taxes are going up or not. there is too much uncertainty in the near future for them to start hiring to expand their businesses.

...which is why I vote for conservatives. If you let yourself turn into a partisan party man, then all you will be let down and betrayed.

Republicans care about your human dignity. Democrats care about your mindless dependence.

They said "NO" because they knew that this asinine 0bamaCare would increase health care costs, increase insurance premiums and eventually drive insurance companies out of business, and push more people into Medicaid; which is exactly what it is doing.

So what? U tryin' to say they don't have the right to speak up when they don't agree with something the feds are doing? That's the American way.

The extremists are the people trying to shut them up.
