Tea party:

Taxed
Enough
Already

The people who believe the Tea party hates obama is a classic example of brainwashing by the media who for the most part is owned by liberal elitists.

Some of you would be good candidates for a position in the administration. Or a job on MSNBC. Perhaps as a stand-in for Chris Matthews on days when his tingling legs distract him from truth (which is all the time). You have all the TEA party bashing talking points that are distributed to the WH puppets in the mornings - bible thumping, white, terrorist, hostage takers, crazies...all that hate speech that Obama said to eliminate, and replace with "civil discourse". As a leader, he should set the example. oops...my bad. He's not a leader.

Anyone remember Beck's Bring America Back To God rally? What does that have to do with taxes?

Great, GOP is dysfunctional, Obama is incompetent... What are we going to do

Democrats helped by debt debate, Republicans hurt according to poll - Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com

It is propaganda, don't buy into it.

Great point! We should all imitate the 'civil discourse' set down by the Tea Party.

America has become the land of the sheeple and home of the timid.

The Tea Party is not tanking, America is tanking.
Bingo...

They are no different than the the town major calling out the people who are possessed and need to confess to the practice of witchcraft. People are so easily manipulated. Just find their emotion button and press it like a kid playing a video game and watch them dance the tune to the prattle.

It is clear now, that the GOP stinks. They stunk under Bush. They stunk under Bush Sr before that. They stunk under Reagan before that. Obviously they are stinking up the place something fierce now, just continuing with their Bush-like nonsense. Many on the Right here were claiming some sort of "victory" over the budget battle, too short-sighted to realize that "MORE BUSH" is not good for the country.

GOP created the Tea party. Not good. GOP didn't listen to Obama, goes their own way. Downgrade. Dow drops. The country is in panic mode. President Obama has been right all along, and obviously is going to have to go on the offensive to offset this very pathetic and bigoted segment of our society.
Obama is incompetent

I think we're going to see-saw back and forth for quite a while, adding to our political instability.

But the tea party does hate Obama. I have never, once heard a tea party member--and I've personally met some--who has ever had a nice thing to say about Obama. Ever. Don't give me that.
